This study presents a precise relative navigation algorithm using both laser and Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in real time. The measurement model of the navigation algorithm between two spacecraft is comprised of relative distances measured by laser instruments and single differences of GPS pseudo-range measurements in spherical coordinates. Based on the measurement model, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is applied to smooth the pseudo-range measurements and to obtain the relative navigation solution. While the navigation algorithm using only laser measurements might become inaccurate because of the limited accuracy of spacecraft attitude estimation when the distance between spacecraft is rather large, the proposed approach is able to provide an accurate solution even in such cases by employing the smoothed GPS pseudo-range measurements. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the errors of the proposed algorithm are reduced by more than about 12% compared to those of an algorithm using only laser measurements, as the accuracy of angular measurements is greater than $0.001^{\circ}$ at relative distances greater than 30 km.

Accurate relative location estimation is a key requirement in indoor localization systems based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, although these systems have applied not only various optimization algorithms but also fusion with sensors to achieve high accuracy in position determination, they are difficult to provide accurate relative azimuth and locations to users because of cumulative errors in inertial sensors with time and the influence of external magnetic fields. This paper based on ultra-wideband positioning system, which is relatively suitable for indoor localization compared to other wireless communications, presents an indoor localization system for estimating relative azimuth and location of location-unaware nodes, referred to as target nodes without applying any algorithms with complex variable and constraints to achieve high accuracy. In the proposed method, the target nodes comprising three mobile nodes estimate the relative distance and azimuth from two reference nodes that can be installed by users. In addition, in the process of estimating the relative localization information acquired from the reference nodes, positioning errors are minimized through a novel modified rounding estimation technique in which Kalman filter is applied without any time consumption algorithms. Experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the proposed system.

Several previous studies have not been able to derive consistent research results on the impact of the level of corruption in local countries on foreign direct investment. Therefore, in order to suggest that this study should consider the relative level of corruption rather than the level of absolute corruption, 1) first, examine the moderating effect of the absolute level of corruption on the determinants of foreign direct investment, and 2) examine the moderating effect of the relative corruption on the determinants of foreign direct investment. This study collected 9-year data from 2012 to 2020 based on the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International. A total of 549 observations (country-year) from 82 countries were sampled and a generalized estimation equation (GEE) analysis was performed. As a result of empirical analysis, it was found that the moderating effect of absolute corruption did not appear, whereas the moderating effect of relative corruption reversed the negative (-) relationship between cultural distance and foreign direct investment into a positive (+) relationship. Based on these empirical results, this study suggest that Korean companies need to consider the relative level of corruption with Korea instead of the absolute level of corruption of the investee when conducting foreign direct investment.

Recently, as interest in self-driving cars has increased worldwide, research and development on the Advanced Driver Assist System is actively underway. Among them, the purpose of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is to minimize the driver's driving fatigue through the control of the vehicle's longitudinal speed and relative distance. In this study, for the research of the ACC test in the real environment, the real-road test was conducted based on domestic-road test scenario proposed in preceding study, considering ISO 15622 test method. In this case, the distance measurement method using the dual camera was verified by comparing and analyzing the result of using the dual camera and the result of using the measurement equipment. As a result of the comparison, two results could be derived. First, the relative distance after stabilizing the ACC was compared. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the minimum error rate was 0.251% in the first test of scenario 8 and the maximum error rate was 4.202% in the third test of scenario 9. Second, the result of the same time was compared. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the minimum error rate was 0.000% in the second test of scenario 10 and the maximum error rate was 9.945% in the second test of scenario 1. However, the average error rate for all scenarios was within 3%. It was determined that the representative cause of the maximum error occurred in the dual camera installed in the test vehicle. There were problems such as shaking caused by road surface vibration and air resistance during driving, changes in ambient brightness, and the process of focusing the video. Accordingly, it was determined that the result of calculating the distance to the preceding vehicle in the image where the problem occurred was incorrect. In the development stage of ADAS such as ACC, it is judged that only dual cameras can reduce the cost burden according to the above derivation of test results.

An aircraft collision accident is a disaster that causes great losses of inventories and lives. Though a collision avoidance warning function is provided automatically to pilots in the aircrafts by the enhancement of the aircraft capability, achieving fast decision-making to escape a collision situation is a complex and dangerous work for pilots. If an in-flight collision situation is controlled by the air traffic control system which monitors all airplanes in the air, it would be more efficient to prevent in-flight collisions because it can handle the emergency before the pilot's action. In this paper, we develop the collision avoidance warning function in the air traffic control system. Specifically, we design and implement the five stages of the collision avoidance function, and propose a visualization method which could effectively provide the operators with the trajectories and altitudes of the aircrafts in a collision situation. By developing an in-flight collision warning function in the air traffic control system that visualizes flight patterns through the state transition data of in-flight aircrafts on the flight path lines, it can effectively prevent in-flight collisions with traffic alerts. The developed function allows operators to effectively select and control the aircraft in a collision situation by providing the operators with the expected collision time, the relative distance, and the relative altitude while assessing the level of alert, and visualizing the alert information which includes the Attention-Warning-Alert phase via embodying the TCAS standard. With the developed function the air traffic control system could sense an in-flight collision situation before the pilot's decision-making moment.

3D stereoscopic viewing of large scale imagery, such as aerial photography and satellite images, needs different parallaxes relative to the display scale. For example, when a viewer sees a stereoscopic image of aerial photography, the optimal parallax of its zoom-in image should be smaller than that of its zoom-out. Therefore, relative parallax adjustment according to the display scale is required. Merely adjusting the spacing between stereo images is not appropriate because the depths of the whole image are either exaggerated or reduced entirely. This paper focuses on the improving stereoscopic viewing with a single remote sensing image and a digital surface model (DSM). We present the parallax adjustment technique to maximize the 3D realistic effect and the visual comfort. For remote sensing data, DSM height value can be regarded as disparity. There are two possible kinds of methods to adjust the relative parallax with a single image performance. One is the DSM compression technique: the other is an adjustment of the distance between the original image and its stereo-mate. In our approach, we carried out a test to evaluate the optimal distance between a single remote sensing image and its stereo-mate, relative to the viewing scale. Several synthetic stereo-mates according to certain viewing scale were created using a parallel projection model and their anaglyphs were estimated visually. The occlusion of the synthetic stereo-mate was restored by the inpainting method using the fields of experts (FoE) model. With the experiments using QuickBird imagery, we could obtain stereoscopic images with optimized parallax at varied display scales.

본 논문은 주행 차량의 차선 변경 시, 위험 여부를 판단하는 방법을 제안하고 시스템을 구현한다. 차선 변경의 위험 여부를 판단하기 위해서 첫째, 변경하고자 하는 차선에 관심 영역(ROI)을 설정해야 하고 둘째, 변경할 차선으로 자차가 이동할 때 자차에 위험이 될 차량을 정확하게 추출해야 하며 셋째, 추출된 차량의 방향과 상대 속도, 상대 거리를 계산하여 운전자에게 위험 경보를 울릴지에 대한 여부를 판단해야 한다. ROI를 설정하기 위해서 영역의 한 축이 되는 차선을 잡고 이를 기준으로 영역을 확장시켰는데 좌표 변환 기법을 이용하여 정확성을 높였다. 변경 차선의 정확한 차량 추출을 위하여 적응 배경화면 갱신 모델 기법과 주행 도로의 특징을 이용한 영상의 영상 분할 방법을 이용하였다. 위험 차량으로 추출된 물체는 자차(自車)와의 상대거리, 상대 속도를 계산하고 픽셀 좌표 이동을 일정시간 평균을 내어 방향을 알아내어 위험으로 판단 시 경보를 울리도록 하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 영역을 최소화하고 도로와 차량의 특징을 이용함으로써 정확도를 높이고 계산량을 줄여 빠른 연산을 요구하는 주행 차량의 영상에서 안정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

최근 무인 항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)는 다양한 임무수행이 가능한 무인 시스템이라는 점에서 크게 주목받고 있다. 특히 정찰, 추적 등의 임무는 영상을 이용하여 임무 수행이 이루어진다. 소형 무인 항공기의 경우 중량과 비용을 고려하여 단안 영상을 이용하는 임무 수행 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 실제 지표면과 목표물이 고도 차이를 가지고 있어, 영상의 상대깊이를 고려하지 않은 3차원 거리는 임무 수행 시 오차 요인으로 작용 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상대 깊이 추정을 위한 평균이동 알고리즘, 광류, 부분 공간법에 관하여 차례로 제시한다. 평균이동 알고리즘은 영상 내 목표물 추적과 관심영역을 결정하며 광류는 영상의 자기를 이용한 영상 이동 정보를 포함한다. 마지막으로 부분 공간법은 영상안의 움직임을 추정하며 각 영역의 상대깊이를 결정한다.

관찰자가 대상이나 상황에 관해 느끼는 주관적인 간극을 심리적 거리라고 한다. 심리적 거리는 개인이 그 대상과 상황에 대해 취하는 의사결정과 행위에 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구는 친숙감의 수준이 심리적 거리의 형성에 끼치는 효과를 탐색하였다. 친숙한 자극이 덜 친숙한 자극에 비해 심리적으로 더 가깝게 느껴진다면, 자극이 유발하는 친숙감 수준이 자극의 지각된 공간적 거리와 상호작용할 것으로 예상하였다. 각 실험에서 참가자들은 먼저 사전 노출 단계에서 세 개의 무의미 단어를 경험하였다. 선행연구들에 따르면 친숙감은 자극의 노출 횟수와 지각적 유창성(perceptual fluency)의 영향을 받는다. 따라서 참가자들이 단어 판단 과제를 수행하는 동안, 무의미 단어들은 각기 다른 수준의 빈도(실험 1)와 선명도(실험 2)로 제시되었다. 그 다음 단계에서 참가자들은 가장 친숙한 무의미 단어와 가장 덜 친숙한 무의미 단어를 가지고 거리 스트룹 과제를 수행하였다. 각각의 단어들은 깊이 단서가 분명한 장면 사진들 속에서 지각적으로 가깝거나 먼 장소에 출현하였다. 그 결과, 두 실험 모두에서 단어의 친숙감과 공간적 거리 간 상호작용이 유의미하였다. 친숙한 단어는 가까운 위치에서 제시되었을 때 빠른 판단반응을 유발하였고 상대적으로 덜 친숙한 단어는 먼 위치에서 제시되었을 때 빠른 판단 반응을 유발하였다. 이러한 결과는 친숙감에 대한 상위인지적 평가(metacognitive evaluation)가 심리적 거리의 형성을 뒷받침하는 주요 요인임을 의미한다.
