Because of the importance of small target detection in infrared images, many studies have been carried out in this area. Using a Kalman filter and mean shift algorithm, this study proposes an algorithm to track multiple small moving targets even in cases of target disappearance and appearance in serial infrared images in an environment with many noises. Difference images, which highlight the background images estimated with a background estimation filter from the original images, have a relatively very bright value, which becomes a candidate target area. Multiple target tracking consists of a Kalman filter section (target position prediction) and candidate target classification section (target selection). The system removes error detection from the detection results of candidate targets in still images and associates targets in serial images. The final target detection locations were revised with the mean shift algorithm to have comparatively low tracking location errors and allow for continuous tracking with standard model updating. In the experiment with actual marine infrared serial images, the proposed system was compared with the Kalman filter method and mean shift algorithm. As a result, the proposed system recorded the lowest tracking location errors and ensured stable tracking with no tracking location diffusion.

In this paper, a new stereo 3D moving-target tracking system using the MSE (mean square error) and BPEJTC (binary phase extraction joint transform correlator) algorithms is proposed. A moving target is extracted from the sequential input stereo image by applying a region-based MSE algorithm following which, the location coordinates of a moving target in each frame are obtained through correlation between the extracted target image and the input stereo image by using the BPEJTC algorithm. Through several experiments performed with 20 frames of the stereo image pair with $640{\times}480$ pixels, we confirmed that the proposed system is capable of tracking a moving target at a relatively low error ratio of 1.29 % on average at real time.

This study proposes a method for determining the optimal target size for an artillery range considering ballistics and environmental conditions. To this end, the size of the probable error of each type of ammunition and charge determined during shooting were considered, and the effect of the firing position and target terrain characteristics on the target size was analyzed. In conclusion, the size of the target increased as the range increased, and a larger target size was required for the DPICM than for the general high explosive. Accordingly, the optimal target size must be determined by considering various factors such as topographical characteristics, shooting position location, and shooting range safety standards.

In the vibration target localization algorithms based on time difference of arrival (TDOA), Fang algorithm is often used in practice because of its simple calculation. However, when the delay estimation error is large, the localization equation of Fang algorithm has no solution. In order to solve this problem, one dimensional search location algorithm based on TDOA is proposed in this paper. The concept of search is introduced in the algorithm. The distance d1 between any single sensor and the vibration target is considered as a search variable. The vibration target location is searched by changing the value of d1 in the two-dimensional plane. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to traditional methods in localization accuracy.

This study explored an extended three-dimensional Fitts' law that is more suited for the pointing task than the conventional Fitts' law. The experiments were conducted under the manipulation of the distance to the target, size of the target, and direction of the target's location that can be described by two angles, $\theta1$ and $\theta2$. Considering the starting point as the center of coordinates, $\theta1$ is the angle between the positive z-axis and the target location and $\theta2$ is the angle between the positive y-axis and the projected target location on the x-y plane. From the experimental results, we confirmed that all four variables significantly affect the movement time. As we extended the index of difficulty of the conventional Fitts' model by incorporating $\theta1$ and $\theta2$, we established an extended Fitts' model that showed better accordance with the empirical data than the conventional Fitts' model and 3D Fitts' law of Murata and Iwase, in terms of the $r^2$ and the standard error of the residual between the measured movement time and the predicted value.

Sensors in a smartphone can be used to measure various physical quantities. In this paper, we propose an object localization scheme in a three dimenstional using a smart phone. The proposed scheme estimates the location of an object by observing it from several different points. The direction to the target object and the locations of the observation points are collected at each observation point using the location sensor and the orientation sensor in the smartphone. Based on these observations, the proposed scheme derives three dimensional line of sight vectors and estimates the location of the target object that minimizes the estimation error. We implemented the proposed scheme on an Android smartphone and tested its performance by estimating the height of a building and characteristics of the proposed approach.

유비쿼터스 사회에서는 사용자의 요구를 충족시키기 위하여 사용자가 갖고 있는 기기에 대한 정밀한 위치측정을 필요로 한다. 위치 측정은 송수신기간에 신호의 전송을 기반으로 한 거리측정을 통해 이뤄지기 때문에 위치측정의 오차는 거리측정의 오차로부터 발생한다. 신호가 전송되는 기기 간에 장애물이 존재하게 되면 LoS(Line of Sight)신호 성분이 줄어들게 되어 NLoS(Non-Line of Sight) 채널이 발생하게 되고 정확한 시점에서 신호를 검출할 수 없게 되어 거리오차가 발생하게 된다. 일반적인 위치측정 알고리즘은 참조기기(Reference Device)의 거리측정 성능에 관계없이 참조기기와 목표기기(Target Device)간의 거리측정 값을 위치 계산에 그대로 사용하기 때문에 거리측정 값으로부터 발생되는 오차가 위치 계산에 더해지게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각 참조기기가 속해 있는 채널특성을 판별하고 NLoS채널로부터 계산된 거리와 LoS채널로부터 계산된 거리를 다른 비율로 적용하여 위치측정의 오차를 줄이는 Iterative Calculation 기법을 제안한다. 참조기기는 수신된 신호의 Kurtosis, Mean, Excess Delay, RMS Delay spread를 통해 NLoS와 LoS 채널을 구분한다. 이를 통해 구분된 채널마다 각기 다른 비율로 랜덤 거리를 계산된 거리에 더하여 위치를 계산하는 것을 반복적으로 수행한 뒤 평균값을 계산하여 확률적으로 존재할 가능성이 높은 목표기기의 위치를 찾아감으로써 NLoS채널로부터 계산된 거리오차가 위치측정에 미치는 영향을 줄이는 방법을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 방식과 비교했을 때 성능향상을 확인하였다.

Recently, deploying WiFi access points (APs) for facilitating indoor localization has attracted increasing attention. However, most existing mechanisms in this aspect are typically simulation based and further they did not consider how to jointly utilize pre-existing APs in target environment and newly deployed APs for achieving high localization performance. In this paper, we propose a measurement-based AP deployment mechanism (MAPD) for placing APs in target indoor environment for assisting fingerprint based indoor localization. In the mechanism design, MAPD takes full consideration of pre-existing APs to assist the selection of good candidate positions for deploying new APs. For this purpose, we first choose a number of candidate positions with low location accuracy on a radio map calibrated using the pre-existing APs and then use over-deployment and on-site measurement to determine the actual positions for AP deployment. MAPD uses minimal mean location error and progressive greedy search for actual AP position selection. Experimental results demonstrate that MAPD can largely reduce the localization error as compared with existing work.

This study is concerned with the accuracy and the patterns when different methods was used in interpolation task. Although 3 methods employed the same modality for input (visual) and for output (manual responding), they differed in central processing, which method 1 is relatively more tendency of verbal processing, method 2 is realtively more tendency of spatial processing and method 3 needed a number of switching code (verbal/spatial) performing task. Split-plot design was adopted, which whole plot consisted of methods (3), orientations (horizon, vertical), base-line sizes (300, 500, 700 pixels) and split plot consisted of target locations (1-99). The results showed the anchor effect and the range effect. Method 2, method 3 and method 1 that order was better accuracy. ANOVA showed that the accuracy was significantly influenced by the method, the location of target, and its interactions ($method{\times}location$, $size{\times}location$). Analysis of error data, response time and frequency of under, just, over estimate indicated that a systematic error pattern was made in task and methods changed not only the performance but also the pattern. The results provided support for the importance of the multiple resources theory in accounting for S-C-R compatibility and task performance. They are discussed in terms of multiple resources theory and guidelines for system design is suggested by the S-C-R compatibility.
