  • For the autonomous navigation of an unmanned ground vehicle in the rough terrain and combat, the dust environment should necessarily be overcome. Therefore, we propose a robust obstacle detection methodology using laser range sensor and radar. Laser range sensor has a good angle and distance accuracy, however, it has a weakness in the dust environment. On the other hand, radar has not better the angle and distance accuracy than laser range sensor, it has a robustness in the dust environment. Using these characteristics of laser range sensor and radar, we use laser range sensor as a main sensor for normal times and radar as a assist sensor for the dust environment. For fusion of laser range sensor and radar information, the angle and distance data of the laser range sensor and radar are separately transformed to the angle and distance data of virtual range sensor which is located in the center of the vehicle. Through distance comparison of laser range sensor and radar in the same angle, the distance data of a fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the laser range sensor, if the distance of laser range sensor and radar are similar. In the other case, the distance data of the fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the radar. The suggested methodology is verified by real experiment.

  • 협동교전능력을 위한 표적정보 수집, 실시간 정보융합, 공동 상황인식 기능 구현을 위하여 표적 처리기법 연구는 중요하다. 이러한 표적 처리 연구 중, 표적의 추적의 문제는 센서로부터 얻어진 측정값을 사용하여 표적의 상태를 예측하는 것으로부터 시작한다. 그러나 상태 예측에 사용되는 센서의 측정값들은 불확실성을 갖고 있기 때문에 측정된 정보에 어느 정도의 신뢰성을 부여할 수 있느냐가 중요한 문제가 된다. 따라서 이를 위해 다중 센서를 이용한 기법이 요구되고, 보편적으로 사용되는 확률적 데이터연관 기법으로부터 다중 센서를 이용한 표적 추적을 위해서는 이종 센서로부터 제공된 측정값들을 처리하기 위한 정보융합 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 레이더 및 ESM 센서에서 측정된 측정값 정보융합을 통하여 확률데이터연관 필터를 이용한 표적의 트랙 추정 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법을 구체적으로 분석하여 정보를 결합하기 위한 새로운 실시간측정값 융합 기법을 제안하고 확률데이터연관을 통해 추적할 표적의 트랙을 추정하는 방법을 분석하였다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법들이 선형 혹은 회전 운동하는 모델들에 대해 향상된 추정 결과를 보여준다.

  • In remote sensing, images are acquired over the same area by sensors of different spectral ranges (from the visible to the microwave) and/or with different number, position, and width of spectral bands. These images are generally partially redundant, as they represent the same scene, and partially complementary. For many applications of image classification, the information provided by a single sensor is often incomplete or imprecise resulting in misclassification. Fusion with redundant data can draw more consistent inferences for the interpretation of the scene, and can then improve classification accuracy. The common approach to the classification of multisensor data as a data fusion scheme at pixel level is to concatenate the data into one vector as if they were measurements from a single sensor. The multiband data acquired by a single multispectral sensor or by two or more different sensors are not completely independent, and a certain degree of informative overlap may exist between the observation spaces of the different bands. This dependence may make the data less informative and should be properly modeled in the analysis so that its effect can be eliminated. For modeling and eliminating the effect of such dependence, this study employs a strategy using self and conditional information variation measures. The self information variation reflects the self certainty of the individual bands, while the conditional information variation reflects the degree of dependence of the different bands. One data set might be very less reliable than others in the analysis and even exacerbate the classification results. The unreliable data set should be excluded in the analysis. To account for this, the self information variation is utilized to measure the degrees of reliability. The team of positively dependent bands can gather more information jointly than the team of independent ones. But, when bands are negatively dependent, the combined analysis of these bands may give worse information. Using the conditional information variation measure, the multiband data are split into two or more subsets according the dependence between the bands. Each subsets are classified separately, and a data fusion scheme at decision level is applied to integrate the individual classification results. In this study. a two-level algorithm using hierarchical clustering procedure is used for unsupervised image classification. Hierarchical clustering algorithm is based on similarity measures between all pairs of candidates being considered for merging. In the first level, the image is partitioned as any number of regions which are sets of spatially contiguous pixels so that no union of adjacent regions is statistically uniform. The regions resulted from the low level are clustered into a parsimonious number of groups according to their statistical characteristics. The algorithm has been applied to satellite multispectral data and airbone SAR data.
