To enhance tracking efficiency, a target-tracking filter with a resource management algorithm is required. One of the resource management algorithms chooses or evaluates the proper sampling time using cost functions which are related to the target tracking filter. We propose a resource management algorithm for bearing only tracking environments. Since the tracking performance depends on the system observability, the bearing-only tracking is one of challenging target-tracking fields. The proposed algorithm provides the adaptive sampling time using the variation rate of the error covariance matrix from the target-tracking filter. The simulation verifies the efficiency performance of the proposed algorithm.

Recent scandals of milk additives in several developing countries provoked controversy about quality issue of dairy products, grapping academic attention to the dairy supply chain. In this paper, we first focus on moral hazard problem of self-interested entities about the quality across the dairy supply chain, due to unobservable and unverifiable quality management efforts of all entities - including dairy producers, stations, and a final producer - and high inspection cost for the quality. Based on the identified moral hazard problem, we understand why the adoption of IoT-based tracking systems about quality produced from each entity is a must, different from RFID-based tracking systems.

Floating photovoltaic systems have been developed by the construction process such as design, construction, operation and management. Therefore, the power of floating photovoltaic systems has been calculated by using simple formulas and the optimal tracking interval is set by operation experience. But, flow characteristics have a decisive effect on it unlike land based PV systems. In this paper, a tracking floating photovoltaic system is modeled by using Matlab/simulink. The modeling for the floating photovoltaic system is verified through applying the flow characteristics based on actual operating data of 100㎾ class tracking floating photovoltaic.

This paper is to survey and put in perspective the working methods of multi-target tracking in clutter. This paper includes theories and practices for data association and related filter structures and is motivated by increasing interest in the area of target tracking, security, surveillance, and multi-sensor data fusion. It is hoped that it will be useful in view of taking into consideration a full understanding of existing techniques before using them in practice.

이동 객체 관리 시스템은 사람, 동물, 자동차 등과 같이 시간에 따라 위치를 변경하는 시공간 데이터를 관리한다. 이러한 이동 객체 관리 시스템은 차량 위치 추적, 디지털 전장, 위치 기반 서비스 등에 적용된다. 그러나 기존의 이동 객체 관리 시스템은 이동 객체의 과거 및 미래의 위치정보를 개별적으로 관리하며, 불확실한 과거 및 미래의 위치 추정 방법을 구체적으로 제시하지 못한다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 이동 객체의 이력 정보를 관리할 뿐만 아니라, 데이터베이스에 저장된 이력정보를 이용한 이동 객체의 과거 및 미래의 위치 추정이 가능한 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 차량 위치 추적을 위한 이동 객체를 모델링하고 이동 객체 데이터베이스 구조를 제시한다. 아울러 제안 시스템의 실행 모델을 제시하고, 이를 차량 추적을 위한 가상 시나리오에 적용한다.

Cargo tracking issue on train transportation is challenging area because of long distance haulage, theft, terror attack and customer service. This paper aims at evaluating various cargo tracking systems in terms of cost and technology. The contents of this paper consist of the research trend of cargo tracking system in the railroad transportation and reviewing of technical alternatives in cost and service side. GNSS and RFID are reviewed as location tracking technology, Internet and Satellite technology like INMASAT and Low Earth Orbit are also reviewed as communication infrastructure. This paper selects cost and service factors in two alternatives of GNSS-Satellite and RFID-Internet, among GNSS-Internet, GNSS, Satellite, RFID-Internet, RFID-Satellite and evaluate each alternative in terms of cost and service. In a result, in terms of cost, RFID-Internet type is superior to GNSS-Satellite type, but in service GNSS-Satellite type is preferred to RFID-Internet in point of area coverage and service coverage.

무선 위치 추적 시스템은 모바일, 로봇 추적 시스템 및 인터넷 위치 기반 서비스(LBS) 애플리케이션과 같은 응용분야에서 사용할 수 있다. GPS 시스템은 가장 잘 알려진 위치 추적 시스템이지만 실내에서의 사용이 용이하지 않다. 실내 위치 추적 시스템에 대한 비용 효율적인 측면에서 무선 주파수 식별(RFID) 위치 추적 방법을 연구하였다. RFID 시스템 대부분은 소모성 배터리를 사용하는 능동형 RFID 태그를 사용지만, 본 논문에서는 패시브 RFID 태그를 사용하는 저렴한 실내 위치 추적 시스템을 개발하였다. 정밀한 추적 알고리즘을 사용하기 위하여 패턴인식에 의한 위치 추적 방법과 회귀곡선을 생성하여 위치를 추적하는 시스템을 연구하였다. 시스템은 잡음으로 인한 오류 수준을 검증하여 테스트하였다. 회귀식에 의해 생성된 3차원 곡선은 미분방정식에 의해서 확률적으로 설명력이 높은 좌표를 추정하였다. 이 제안된 시스템은 모바일 로봇 시스템, AGV 및 휴대전화 LBS에도 적용될 수 있다.

Traffic congestion is a severe problem in many modern cities around the world. Real-time and accurate traffic congestion identification can provide the advanced traffic management systems with a reliable basis to take measurements. The most used data sources for traffic congestion are loop detector, GPS data, and video surveillance. Video based traffic monitoring systems have gained much attention due to their enormous advantages, such as low cost, flexibility to redesign the system and providing a rich information source for human understanding. In general, most existing video based systems for monitoring road traffic rely on stationary cameras and multiple vehicle tracking method. However, most commonly used multiple vehicle tracking methods are lack of effective track initiation schemes. Based on the motion of the vehicle usually obeys constant velocity model, a novel vehicle recognition method is proposed. The state of recognized vehicle is sent to the GM-PHD filter as birth target. In this way, we relieve the insensitive of GM-PHD filter for new entering vehicle. Combining with the advanced vehicle detection and data association techniques, this multiple vehicle tracking method is used to identify traffic congestion. It can be implemented in real-time with high accuracy and robustness. The advantages of our proposed method are validated on four real traffic data.

In this paper, we consider a typical health care system via the help of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for wireless patient tracking. The wireless patient tracking module of this system performs localization out of samples of Received Signal Strength (RSS) variations and tracking through a Particle Filter (PF) for WSN assisted by multiple transmit-power information. We propose a modified PF, Kullback-Leibler Distance (KLD)-resampling PF, to ameliorate the effect of RSS variations by generating a sample set near the high-likelihood region for improving the wireless patient tracking. The key idea of this method is to approximate a discrete distribution with an upper bound error on the KLD for reducing both location error and the number of particles used. To determine this bound error, an optimal algorithm is proposed based on the maximum gap error between the proposal and Sampling Important Resampling (SIR) algorithms. By setting up these values, a number of simulations using the health care system's data sets which contains the real RSSI measurements to evaluate the location error in term of various power levels and density nodes for all methods. Finally, we point out the effect of different power levels vs. different density nodes for the wireless patient tracking.
