The technology to locate an individual has enabled various services, its utilization has increased. There were constraints such as the use of separate expensive equipment or the installation of specific devices on a facility, with most of the location technology studies focusing on the accuracy of location verification. These constraints can result in accuracy within a few tens of centimeters, but they are not technology that can be applied to a user's location in real-time in daily life. Therefore, this paper aims to track the locations of smartphones only using the basic components of smartphones. Based on smartphone sensor data, localization accuracy that can be used for verification of the users' locations is aimed at. Accelerometers, Wifi radio maps, and GPS sensor information are utilized to implement it. In forging the radio map, signal maps were built at each vertex based on the graph data structure This approach reduces traditional map-building efforts at the offline phase. Accelerometer data were made to determine the user's moving status, and the collected sensor data were fused using particle filters. Experiments have shown that the average user's location error is about 3.7 meters, which makes it reasonable for providing location-based services in everyday life.

In this study, Real Time Kinematic GPS(RTK GPS) was conducted twice at the same site in two different seasons, respectively to check the possibility of it as the mapping tool, and how the factor affecting the accuracy of it. As a result, most parts of a small garden except f3r the worst environments surrounded with lots of tree canopy and several buildings were mapped using RTK GPS even in spring, full of a green foliage and winter as well. However, the mapping accuracy and the availability of RTK GPS were not so high. The study showed that it is recommended in RTK GPS mapping to utilize Total Station, etc. in the worst urban environments unable to track the satellite signals with ease.

The use of light-gauge steel framing in low-rise commercial and industrial building construction has experienced a significant increase in recent years. In such construction, the wall framing is an assembly of cold-formed steel (CFS) studs held between top and bottom CFS tracks. Current construction methods utilize heavy hot-rolled steel sections, such as steel angles or hollow structural section tubes, to transfer the load from the end seats of the floor joist and/or from the load-bearing wall studs of the stories above to the supporting load-bearing wall below. The use of hot rolled steel elements results in significant increase in construction cost and time. Such heavy steel elements would be unnecessary if the concrete slab thickening on top of the CFS wall can be made to act compositely with the CFS track. Composite action can be achieved by attaching stand-off screws to the track and encapsulating the screw shank in the deck concrete. A series of experimental studies were performed on full-scale test specimens representing concrete/CFS flexural elements under gravity loads. The studies were designed to investigate the structural performance of concrete/CFS simple beams and concrete/CFS continuous headers. The results indicate that concrete/CFS composite flexural elements are feasible and their structural behavior can be modeled with reasonable accuracy.

In intelligent surveillance systems, it is required to robustly track multiple people. Most of the previous studies adopted a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for discriminating the object from the background. However, it has a weakness that its performance is affected by illumination variations and shadow regions can be merged with the object. And when two foreground objects overlap, the GMM method cannot correctly discriminate the occluded regions. To overcome these problems, we propose a new method of tracking and identifying multiple people. The proposed research is novel in the following three ways compared to previous research: First, the illuminative variations and shadow regions are reduced by an illumination normalization based on the median and inverse filtering of the L*a*b* image. Second, the multiple occluded and overlapped people are tracked by combining the GMM in the still image and the Lucas-Kanade-Tomasi (LKT) method in successive images. Third, with the proposed human tracking and the existing face detection & recognition methods, the tracked multiple people are successfully identified. The experimental results show that the proposed method could track and recognize multiple people with accuracy.

The Kernelized Correlation Filters (KCF) tracker has caused the extensive concern in recent years because of the high efficiency. Numerous improvements have been made successively. However, due to the abrupt motion between the consecutive image frames, these methods cannot track object well. To cope with the problem, we propose an extended KCF tracker based on swarm intelligence method. Unlike existing KCF-based trackers, we firstly introduce a swarm-based sampling method to KCF tracker and design a unified framework to track smooth or abrupt motion simultaneously. Secondly, we propose a global motion estimation method, where the exploration factor is constructed to search the whole state space so as to adapt abrupt motion. Finally, we give an adaptive threshold in light of confidence map, which ensures the accuracy of the motion estimation strategy. Extensive experimental results in both quantitative and qualitative measures demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in tracking abrupt motion.

This paper proposes an advanced visual tracking algorithm for the stable grasping of a moving target(2D). This algorithm is programmed to find grasping points of an unknown polygonal object and execute visual tracking. The Kalman Filter(KF) algorithm based on the SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) is applied to the visual tracking system for the tracking of a moving object. The KF based on the SVD improves the accuracy of the tracking and the robustness in the estimation of state variables and noise statistics. In addition, it does not have the numerical unstability problem that can occur in the visual tracking system based on Kalman filter. In the grasping system, a parameterized family is constructcd, and through the family, the grasping system finds the stable grasping points of an unknown object through the geometric properties of the parameterized family. In the previous studies, many researchers have been studied on only 'How to track a moving target'. This paper concern not only on 'how to track' but also 'how to grasp' and apply the grasping theory to a visual tracking system.

Presentation with a projector and a laser pointer is widely used in seminar or conference. The function of a laser pointer in the presentation is just indicating a certain object. In this paper, to give a mouse-like function to a laser pointer, we implement a system that locates the track of a laser pointer. The system contains a FPGA that implements camera interface and noise filter. A software for ARM processor is programmed to analyze the spectrum of the captured image and track the pattern of a laser pointer with previously stored image. As a result, the tracking system could locate the position correctly most of time within 20m with 98% accuracy.

This study presents a process control of the wafer edge exposure (WEE) used in 300[mm] wafer environment. WEE, as a key module of the overall track system (coater and developer) for making patterns on wafer, is a system to expose the UV-ray on the wafer to remove a photo resist around edge of the wafer. It can measure, memorize and control the distance and angles from wafer center to edge. Recently in the 300[mm] semiconductor fabrication, the track system strongly requires that WEE station has a controller with high throughput and accuracy to increase process efficiency. We have designed and developed the controller, and present here a WEE control algorithm and experimental results.
