In this paper, in-process chatter detection methodology which utilizes nondimensional characteristic variables is introduced. To obtain nondimensional chatter detection indexes which are constant regardless of the cutting conditions during machining with the same tool and workpiece material, both the cutting forces and accelerations are measured and processed in time and frequency domain. The indexes are calculated from the present and past value of the acceleration and cutting force signals in time and frequency domain. The chatter is identified when these chatter detection indexes are bigger than the threshold which is decided by preliminary experiments. The experiment shows that these indexes works very well in-process chatter detection.

In this paper, a tracking algorithm for a maneuvering single target in the presence of multiple data from multiple sensors is investigated. Allowing individual sensors to function by themselves, the estimates from individual sensors on the same target are fused for the purpose of improving the state estimate. The filtering method adopted in the local sensors is the variable dimensional filter with input estimatio technique, which consists of a constant velocity model and a constant acceleration model. A posteriori probability for the maneuvering hypothesis is newly derived. It is shown that the relation function of the a posteriori probability is a function of only the covariance of the fused estimates. Simulation results are provided.

Lee (2008) proposed the pansharpening method to reconstruct at the higher resolution the multispectral images which agree with the spectral values observed from the sensor of the lower resolution values. It outperformed over several current techniques for the statistical analysis with quantitative measures, and generated the imagery of good quality for visual interpretation. However, if a small object stretches over two adjacent pixels with different spectral characteristics at the lower resolution, the pixels of the object at the higher resolution may have different multispectral values according to their location even though they have a same intensity in the panchromatic image of higher resolution. To correct this problem, this study employed an iterative technique similar to the image restoration scheme of Point-Jacobian iterative MAP estimation. The effect of pansharpening on image segmentation/classification was assessed for various techniques. The method was applied to the IKONOS image acquired over the area around Anyang City of Korea.

FeNi alloy nanofibers have been prepared by an electrospinning process followed by air-calcination and H2 reduction to develop electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers in the giga-hertz (GHz) frequency range. The thermal behavior and phase and morphology evolution in the synthetic processes were systematically investigated. Through the heat treatments of calcination and H2 reduction, as-spun PVP/FeNi precursor nanofiber has been stepwise transformed into nickel iron oxide and FeNi phases but the fibrous shape was maintained perfectly. The FeNi alloy nanofiber had the high aspect ratio and the average diameter of approximately 190 nm and primarily composed of FeNi nanocrystals with an average diameter of ~60 nm. The FeNi alloy nanofibers could be used for excellent EM wave absorbing materials in the GHz frequency range because the power loss of the FeNi nanofibers increased up to 20 GHz without a degradation and exhibited the superior EM wave absorption properties compared to commercial FeNi nanoparticles.

전세계적으로 친환경, 에너지 절약과 맞물려 LED조명에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히 우리나라는 삼면이 바다와 인접해 해안 항만 환경에 대한 관심이 높고, 해안산책로, 공원 등이 늘어나면서 LED 보안등에 대한 수요가 늘고 있는 추세이다. LED보안등의 수요가 늘어나면서 보안등의 주목적인 범죄예방에 대비하면서 에너지를 절감할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 최근의 조명제어 시스템은 단순히 보행자 유무만을 인식하여 조명의 밝기를 제어하는 시스템이 대다수이며, 비, 바람, 안개, 해무 등의 실시간 변화가 잦은 해안환경에 대한 고려는 부족하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 보행자 유무와 비, 안개, 해무 등의 환경적 정보를 융합하여 보안등의 밝기를 통합 제어할 수 있는 스마트 제어 시스템을 설계하고자 한다.

다중센서데이터 융합시스템(MSDFS)은 여러 센서로부터 획득된 이질의 데이터를 정규화된 포맷으로 융합하고 단일 센서에서의 획득오차를 최소한으로 줄여 표적의 정확한 식별 및 판단을 지원하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템들은 고유의 기능을 수행하는 모듈들에 대한 고수준의 재사용성을 요구하므로, 현재의 소프트웨어공학 기법을 적용시 공통부분에 대한 효율적 설계가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시스템 개발에 이러한 비효율적인 요소를 제거하는 제품-계열 개발방법론을 MSDFS의 임베디드 소프트웨어 설계에 적용한다. 이를 위해 분석 대상에 대한 영역지정에서부터 재사용가능한 컴포넌트의 식별까지 설계 하며, 마지막으로 설계된 모델에 대한 검증을 위해 GQM 패러다임을 적용한다. 또한 산출물에 대한 성능평가 기준을 제시하여 시스템 개발을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

This paper describes a method of road tracking by using a vision and laser with extracting road boundary (road lane and curb) for navigation of intelligent transport robot in structured road environments. Road boundary information plays a major role in developing such intelligent robot. For global navigation, we use a global positioning system achieved by means of a global planner and local navigation accomplished with recognizing road lane and curb which is road boundary on the road and estimating the location of lane and curb from the current robot with EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) algorithm in the road assumed that it has prior information. The complete system has been tested on the electronic vehicles which is equipped with cameras, lasers, GPS. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined laser and vision system by our approach for detecting the curb of road and lane boundary detection.
