본 논문은 복합재 패널에서 압전 작동기를 사용하여 탄성파를 생성하고, 손상에서의 반사된 신호를 압전 감지기에서 탐지하여 손상위치를 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 손상이 없는 신호와 손상이 있는 신호를 비교하여 손상신호를 추정하는 진단적 접근방법을 사용하였다. 신호 상관관계를 이용하여 탄성파의 군속도를 계산하고 압전기 위치정보를 이용하여 손상정보를 추출하였다. 하지만 탄성파의 비선형 특성으로 인해, 손상정보는 다양한 신호의 조합으로 구성되기 때문에, 손상위치를 명확히 구별하기 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 손상에서 반사된 신호정보를 신호 도달거리의 면적으로 변환해서 손상의 중심위치를 찾는 누적함수 특성벡터 알고리즘(CSFV, cumulative summation feature vector)을 새롭게 제안하고, 특성벡터를 손상지수와의 곱으로 표현하는 가시화 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 복합재 패널에서 실험검증을 수행하고, 기존의 알고리즘과의 비교를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 정확도 높게 손상위치를 검출할 수 있음을 보였다.

본 연구는 로봇 착유시스템의 유두인식을 위한 기초연구로 레이저 스캔 센서를 이용하여 모형유두의 위치정보를 획득 및 분석하고 이를 통하여 로봇 착유시스템에 적용가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 실제유두와 같은 모양과 크기의 모형유두를 제작하였으며, 각 모형의 재질에 따른 특성을 파악하고 센서의 거리에 따른 오차, 각도에 따른 오차를 분석하였다. 또한 4개 유두모형을 이용하여 각 유두의 2차원 거리정보를 동시에 획득하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 모형유두의 재질선택을 위한 실험에서 손가락의 경우 거리오차가 최대 4.3 mm, 최소 1.3 mm, 평균 2.8 mm로 가장 작게 나타났으며, 고무재질의 모형유두가 평균 4.3 mm로 나타나 모형유두로 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 2. 거리에 따른 오차는 기준거리 100 mm에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, 거리가 증가할수록 감소하다 300 mm를 지나 다시 증가한 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 3. 각도별 오차는 $170^{\circ}$에서 10.1 mm로 최대오차가 발생하였으며, $70^{\circ}$일 때 0.2 mm로 최소 오차를 나타내었다. 각도에 따른 오차는 특별한 경향을 나타내지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 4. 4개 모형유두에 대한 2차원 위치오차를 측정한 결과 거리오차의 경우 최소 3.8 mm, 최대 7.2 mm로 나타났으며, 각도 오차는 최대 $1.2^{\circ}$로 오차가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 모든 오차가 센서 정밀도 내에 포함되며, 센서의 측정 속도와 착유컵의 구멍크기 등을 고려해 볼 때 로봇 착유시스템을 위한 유두의 거리측정에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

상수도 원격 검침에서는 리드 스위치의 채터링 오차를 감소시키기 위한 센서 연구 및 개선이 필요하다. 센서의 동작은 전기적 펄스를 발생시키기 위한 영구 자석 주각의 접근에 의한 기계적 접촉스위치처럼 나타낼 수 있다. 대부분 회전 또는 전달 이동을 잡기 위해 사용되고 수류 측정 장치에 적용하기 위해서는 높은 신뢰성이 필수이다. 동작 형태를 간단히 설명하게 되면 미터기 작동 모터 끝에 달려있는 작은 자석이 미터기 회전에 의해 리드 스위치 내부에 있는 두 개의 스프링과 기계적 접촉 형식으로 반복적으로 떨어지게 된다. 즉 수류량에 따라 펄스의 수가 증가하는 것이다. 이렇게 측정된 값은 무선 이동 통신을 통해 서버로 전달되게 된다. 문제는 자석과 리드 스위치가 만나는 지점에서 스위치가 멈추게 되면 떨리면서 펄스가 잘못 올라가는 오차가 생기는 것이다. 이러한 오차를 감소시키기 위해 보통 소프트웨어적인 방법을 사용한다. 필터 알고리듬을 사용하는것과 통계적인 보정방법을 사용하는 것이 그러한 예이다. 하지만 그러한 방법보다는 하드웨어적으로 문제를 해결하는 것이 오차를 줄일 수 있는 더 직접적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 기계적인 이력현상의 특성을 이용하여 리프 스프링 구조의 변화로 오차를 감소시키는 연구를 수행하였다.

Inaccurate localization exposes a robot to many dangerous conditions. It could make a robot be moved to wrong direction or damaged by collision with surrounding obstacles. There are numerous approaches to self-localization, and there are different modalities as well (vision, laser range finders, ultrasonic sonars). Since sensor information is generally uncertain and contains noise, there are many researches to reduce the noise. But, the correctness is limited because most researches are based on statistical approach. The goal of our research is to measure more exact robot location by matching between built VRML 3D model and real vision image. To determine the position of mobile robot, landmark-localization technique has been applied. Landmarks are any detectable structure in the physical environment. Some use vertical lines, others use specially designed markers, In this paper, specially designed markers are used as landmarks. Given known focal length and a single image of three landmarks it is possible to compute the angular separation between the lines of sight of the landmarks. The image-processing and neural network pattern matching techniques are employed to recognize landmarks placed in a robot working environment. After self-localization, the 2D scene of the vision is overlaid with the VRML scene.

In this paper, ultrasonic range system which detects parking lot in parking area is studied. The important part for detecting parking lot accurately is to detect the first and second corners of possible parking lot, and for that, new method using multiple echo function is introduced in this paper. Many probabilistic methods have been used to reduce uncertainties of ultrasonic sensor for distance and location of objects. Method using multiple echo, however, gives accurates results as well as simple algorithm. For experiments in parking space, ultrasonic range system was attached to a Pioneer AT-2 and final parking space map was created in a fusion with position information from wheels of a Pioneer AT-2. We will show the results are compared with error of another methods.

We introduce a MEMS-based pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system. A walking navigation algorithm for pedestrians is presented and map-matching algorithm for the navigation system based on dead reckoning (DR) is proposed. The PDR is equipped on the human body and provides the position information of pedestrians. And this is able to be used in ubiquitous sensor network (USN), U-hearth monitoring system, virtual reality (VR) and etc. The PDR detects a step using a novel technique and simultaneously estimates step length. Also an azimuth of the pedestrian is calculated using a fluxgate which is the one of magnetometers. Map-matching algorithm can be formulated to integrate the positioning data with the digital road network data. Map-matching algorithm not only enables the physical location to be identified from navigation system but also improves the positioning accuracy. However most of map-matching algorithms which are developed previously are for the car navigation system (CNS). Therefore they are not appropriate to implement to pedestrian navigation system based on DR system. In this paper, we propose walking navigation system and map-matching algorithm for PDR.

The spectral radiance received by a remote sensor at a given temperature and wavelength region is consisted of the self-emitted component directly from the object surface, the reflected component of the solar irradiation at the object surface, and the scattered component by the atmosphere without ever reaching the object surface. The IR image of a ship is mainly affected by location, meteorological condition(atmosphere temperature, wind direction and velocity, humidity etc.), atmospheric transmittance, solar position and ship surface temperature etc. Computer simulations for prediction of the IR signatures of ships are very useful to examine the effects of various meteorological conditions. In this paper, we have acquired the IR signature for different meteorological conditions by using two different computer programs. The numerical results show that the IR image contrast as compared to the background sea considering the atmosphere temperature and wind velocity.

In this paper, we present visual sensing techniques that can be used to teach a robot using a laser pointer. The light spot of an off-the-shelf laser pointer is detected and its movement is tracked on consecutive images of a camera. The three-dimensional position of the spot is calculated using stereo cameras. The light spot on the image is detected based on its color, brightness, and shape. The detection results in a binary image, and morphological processing steps are performed on the image to refine the detection. The movement of the laser spot is measured using two methods. The first is a simple method of specifying the region of interest (ROI) centered at the current location of the light spot and finding the spot within the ROI on the next image. It is assumed that the movement of the spot is not large on two consecutive images. The second method is using a Kalman filter, which has been widely employed in trajectory estimation problems. In our simulation study of various cases, Kalman filtering shows better results mostly. However, there is a problem of fitting the system model of the filter to the pattern of the spot movement.

In this paper, a new detection algorithm was proposed for finding the position of lenslet array spot pattern used to acquire laser wavefront. Based on the analysis of the required signal processing characteristics, we categorized into and designed four main signal processing functions. The proposed was designed in order to have robust feature against a variation of geometrical form of the spot and also implemented to have semi-automatic thresholding capability based on CCD noise analysis. For performance evaluation, we made qualitative and quantitative comparisons with Carvalho's algorithm which has been published in recent. In the given experimental spot images, the proposed could detect the spots which has 1/3 times lower than the least S/N of which Carvalho's can detect and could reach to a detection precision of 0.1 pixel at the S/N. In functional aspect, the proposed could separate all valid spots locally. From these results, the proposed could have a superior precision of location detection of spot pattern in wider S/N range.
