In this paper, we propose a performance index that can compare the position estimation performance according to the time slot allocation order, which is superior in the position estimation performance in the operation of the Link-16 based relative navigation system. In order to verify the validity of the performance index, a software-based Link-16 relative navigation system performance analysis platform composed of a signal generator, a signal reception and navigation algorithm execution unit, and a performance analysis unit was designed. Using the designed software platform, we analyzed the relationship between proposed performance index and position estimation performance according to time slot allocation order in the same position reference (PR) arrangement. The performance index of the proposed time slot allocation is expected to be utilized not only for the Link-16 system, but also for the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)-based navigation system.

GPS is not able to be used for indoor positioning and currently most of techniques emerging to overcome the limit of GPS utilize private wireless networks. However, these methods require high costs for installation and maintenance, and they are inappropriate to be used in the place where precise positioning is needed as in indoor parking lots. This paper proposes a vehicular indoor positioning method based on QR-code recognition. The method gets an absolute coordinate through QR-code scanning, and obtain the location (an relative coordinate) of a black-box camera using the tilt and roll angle correction through affine transformation, scale transformation, and trigonometric function. Using these information of an absolute coordinate and an relative one, the precise position of a car is estimated. As a result, average error of 13.79cm is achieved and it corresponds to just 27.6% error rate in contrast to 50cm error of the recent technique based on wireless networks.

The ocean tide loading (OTL) is an important factor for the GPS positioning, especially in the height direction. The shorter of the distance to the ocean, the larger of the error by the OTL. The influence will be changed when we measure in different place and the order of magnitude is from few centimeters to ten centimeters. In this study, more than ten kinds of the OTL models were collected and applied on the GPS static relative positioning in Taiwan. The GPS observations including five stations were obtained from Nov. 9, 2004 to Feb. 23, 2005 and we used the Bernese GPS software to execute the data processing. In this period, the average amplitudes of the 3-D coordinates are as follows: N is 0.4 cm, E is 0.7 cm, h is 1.8 cm at Kinmen station; N is 0.7 cm, E is 1.3 cm, h is 2.3 cm at Lanyu station; N is 0.5 cm, E is 0.7 cm, h is 2.0 cm at Matsu station; N is 0.6 cm, E is 0.6 cm, h is 2.0 cm at Penghu station and N is 0.5 cm, E is 1.2 cm, h is 1.7 cm at Hsinchu station. Moreover, we will analyze the advantage and disadvantage of every kind of the OTL models in different environments to offer some information to the GPS users and enhance the precision of the GPS positioning.

In this paper, GPS(Global Positioning System) that can be used outdoors and GPS(Global Positioning System) is not available for indoor Wi-Fi(Wireless Fidelity) using the Android-based location information system has been designed and implemented. Pedestrians in a room in order to estimate the location of the pedestrian's position, regardless of need to obtain the absolute position and relative position, depending on the movement of pedestrians in a row it is necessary to estimate. In order to estimate the initial position of the pedestrian Wi-Fi Fingerprinting was used. Most existing Wi-Fi Fingerprinting position error small WKNN(Weighted K Nearest Neighbor) algorithm shortcoming EWKNN (Enhanced Weighted K Nearest Neighbor) using the algorithm raised the accuracy of the position. And in order to estimate the relative position of the pedestrian, the smart phone is mounted on the IMUInertial Measurement Unit) because the use did not require additional equipment.

When using robot manipulator to carry out autonomous tasks, the positioning accuracy of the robot manipulator relative to a reference coordinate frame is of greate importance. The task program, which is generated by off-line CAD-system and used in actual robot positioning, may cause serious amount of the absolute positioning error of the robot manipulator. In this study, a robot performance test and calibration algorithms are proposed in order to improve the absolute positioning accuracy of the robot end effector. Experiments were also carried out by utilizing the HYUNDAI Robot AE 7601 and KIM2-Tester, a three dimensional measurement system, which is developed in Robotics & Fluid Power Control Lab. at Korea Institute of Science and Technology.

In GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning, various measures can be used to select satellites or to evaluate the positioning results. Among these, GDOP (Geometric Dilution of Precision) and RGDOP (Relative GDOP) are the most frequently used. Although these measures are frequently used, the relationship between them is not clearly known. Moreover, the condition number is used as a traditional measure of numerical stability in solving linear equations. Sometimes, the volume of a tetrahedon made by the line of sight vector is used for simplicity. All of these measures share some common properties as well as differences. The relationships between these measures are analyzed in this paper.

This paper discusses a multi-dimensional analysis for Customer Relationship Management (CRM). For this, We propose a decision-making methodology which employs three analysis models. The first model is a three-dimension positioning map to derive a strategy which achieves the Process Value Line (PVL). The second model is the web-shape analysis model to visibly understand the individual based on the customer CSI (Customer Satisfactory Index) data. The third model which supports the web-shape analysis model, is the relative satisfactory analysis model. It considers a satisfaction level after purchasing against before purchasing. Then we perform overall analysis based on the three analysis models to provide marketing strategies to decision makers.

In this paper, we present relative positioning algorithm for moving land vehicle using GPS, MEMS IMU and B-CDMA module. This algorithm does not calculate precise absolute position but calculates relative position directly, so additional infrastructure and I2V communication device are not required. Proposed algorithm has several steps. Firstly, unbiased relative position is calculated using pseudorange difference between two vehicles. Simultaneously, the algorithm estimates position of each vehicle using GPS/INS integration. Secondly, proposed algorithm performs filtering and finally estimates relative position and relative velocity. Using proposed algorithm, we can obtain more precise relative position for moving land vehicles with short time interval as IMU sensor has. The simulation is performed to evaluate this algorithm and the several field tests are performed with real time program and miniature vehicles for verifying performance of proposed algorithm.

A determinated position with GPS (Global Positioning System) data processing is the position of the phase center of a GPS antenna. The phase center of a GPS antenna is. not a stable point and depends on the azimuth and elevation angles of GPS satellites. It is known that the phase center variations (PCV) of a GPS antenna are greater in the vertical than the horizontal directions. The PCV calibration models for a GPS. antenna has two approaches: relative and absolute. In this study. we compared the two calibration models using the six operational permanent GPS stations in South Korea and analysed the PCV of each station. In addition, we. tested two different kinds of GPS antennas and compared the results. The accuracy and precision of the relative calibration was worse than the absolute calibration.

Productivity of container cranes and gantry cranes is influenced by the performance of crane hardware and cycle time. Cycle time in container handling is influenced by the path of containers and relative positioning of containers. So we have to minimize the sway of containers and spreaders to minimize relative positioning time. And sway minimization is influenced by the skill of workers in manual gantry cranes. In this paper, we will survey some anti-sway systems. Each system has some merits and some shortages. And we will show our choice and its experimental equipment which is under construction.
