The Kalman filter has been used as a self-localization method for the mobile robot. To satisfy the assumptions inherent in the Kalman filter, we should calibrate the sensors of the robot before use of them. However, it is generally hard to find exact sensor parameters, and the parameters may change during the robot task as the environment varies. Thus we need to perform on-line sensor calibration, by which we can obtain more credible location of the mobile robot. In this paper, we present an on-line sensor calibration scheme which estimates the unknown sensor bias and the current position of the robot. To this end, first we find out the calibration errors of the sensor from redundant sensory data using the parity vector and recursive minimum variance estimation. Then we calculate the current position of the robot by weighted least square estimation without internal encoder data. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through computer simulation.

An algorithm is presented for estimating the 3-D location (i.e., azimuth angle, elevation angle, and range) of multiple sources with a uniform circular array (UCA) consisting of an even number of sensors. Recently the rank reduction (RARE) algorithm for partly-calibrated sensor arrays was developed. This algorithm is applicable to sensor arrays consisting of several identically oriented and calibrated linear subarrays. Assuming that a UCA consists of M sensors, it can be divided into M/2 identical linear subarrays composed of two facing sensors. Based on the structure of the subarrays, the steering vectors are decomposed into two parts: range-independent 2-D direction-of-arrival (DOA) parameters, and range-relevant 3-D location parameters. Using this property we can estimate range-independent 2-D DOAs by using the RARE algorithm. Once the 2-D DOAs are available, range estimation can be obtained for each source by defining the 1-D MUSIC spectrum. Despite its low computational complexity, the proposed algorithm can provide an estimation performance almost comparable to that of the 3-D MUSIC benchmark estimator.

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.

Damage detection is a very active research field, in which significant efforts have been invested in recent years. In this paper, analysis using structural stiffness estimation for damage detection is presented and compared to other methodologies. By using a cantilever analytical beam model, it is shown here that not only location but also the amount of damage in structure can be predicted from the ratio of change in stiffness. Damage detection experiment in real beam specimen on is also peformed and the results are compared.

기존 무선망 네트워크에서의 위치 추정 알고리즘은 주로 단말이 고정되어 있는 상태에서의 3개 이상의 절대 위치를 확인할 수 있는 기지국을 활용한 위치 추정 기법을 사용하였다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 이동 단말을 활용하여 지속적으로 이동 가능한 이동 기지국의 위치를 삼변 추정을 활용한 트래버스 기법을 사용하여 단말 및 이동 기지국의 위치를 추정하는 위치 인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

본 논문은 비가우시안 노이즈가 존재하는 수중환경에서 비선형 필터 기법에 따른 2차원 위치 추정에 관한 연구 내용이다. 최근 위치 추정을 위한 필터로 확장형 칼만필터(EKF: Extended Kalman filter)가 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 수중과 같은 비가우시안 노이즈가 존재하는 비선형 시스템에서는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 상태변이의 예측을 기반으로한 EKF를 대신하여 통계적 발생인자 에 기반을 둔 분포 재해석 기법을 이용한 2차원 파티클필터 (TDPF: Two-Dimension Particle Filter)를 제안한다. 모의 실험을 통하여 Non-Gaussian Noise 가 존재하는 수중환경에서 제안하는 TDPF의 성능을 EKF와 비교분석하였으며 TDPF가 EKF보다 정확한 위치 추정결과를 제공하는 것을 확인하였다.

As an important technology of the internetwork, wireless sensor network technique plays an important role in indoor localization. Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) problem has a large effect on indoor location accuracy. A location algorithm based on improved particle filter and directional probabilistic data association (IPF-DPDA) for WSN is proposed to solve NLOS issue in this paper. Firstly, the improved particle filter is proposed to reduce error of measuring distance. Then the hypothesis test is used to detect whether measurements are in LOS situations or NLOS situations for N different groups. When there are measurements in the validation gate, the corresponding association probabilities are applied to weight retained position estimate to gain final location estimation. We have improved the traditional data association and added directional information on the original basis. If the validation gate has no measured value, we make use of the Kalman prediction value to renew. Finally, simulation and experimental results show that compared with existing methods, the IPF-DPDA performance better.

This paper describes a localization method based on Monte Carlo Localization approach for a mobile robot. The method uses range data which are measured from ultrasound transmitting beacons whose locations are given a priori. The ultrasound receiver on-board a robot detects the range from the beacons. The method requires several beacons, theoretically over three. The method proposes a sensor model for the range sensing based on statistical analysis of the sensor output. The experiment uses commercialized beacons and detector which are used for trilateration localization. The performance of the proposed method is verified through real implementation. Especially, it is shown that the performance of the localization degrades as the sensor update rate decreases compared with the MCL algorithm update rate. Though the method requires exact location of the beacons, it doesn't require geometrical map information of the environment. Also, it is applicable to estimation of the location of both the beacons and robot simultaneously.

본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 위치를 추정하기 위해 서로 다른 센서노드의 신호세기를 기록한 RSS table을 활용하여 노드가 존재하는 영역을 추정하고, 해당 영역에 속하지 않는 공간을 순차적으로 제거하는 cooperative localization 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각각의 센서노드는 신호세기를 모니터링 하고, 신호세기의 범위에 따라 센서노드의 존재 가능 영역을 배제하게 되며 최종적으로 존재 가능 영역의 중심(centroid)을 노드의 위치로 추정하게 된다. 이러한 과정은 RSS table에 기록된 모든 노드들에 대해 반복적으로 적용되고 이를 통해 미지의 노드들에 대한 정밀한 위치추정이 가능하다.
