Autonomous vehicle technology based on information technology and software will lead the automotive industry in the near future. Vehicle localization technology is a core expertise geared toward developing autonomous vehicles and will provide location information for control and decision. This paper proposes an effective vision-based localization technology to be applied to autonomous vehicles. In particular, the proposed technology makes use of numerical maps that are widely used in the field of geographic information systems and that have already been built in advance. Optimum vehicle ego-motion estimation and road marking feature extraction techniques are adopted and then combined by an extended Kalman filter and particle filter to make up the localization technology. The implementation results of this paper show remarkable results; namely, an 18 ms mean processing time and 10 cm location error. In addition, autonomous driving and parking are successfully completed with an unmanned vehicle within a $300m{\times}500m$ space.

A computer vision technique of estimating the location of an unmanned ground vehicle is proposed. Identifying the location of the unmaned vehicle is very important task for automatic navigation of the vehicle. Conventional positioning sensors may fail to work properly in some real situations due to internal and external interferences. Given a DSM(Digital Surface Map), location of the vehicle can be estimated by the registration of the DSM and multiview range images obtained at the vehicle. Registration of the DSM and range images yields the 3D transformation from the coordinates of the range sensor to the reference coordinates of the DSM. To estimate the vehicle position, we first register a range image to the DSM coarsely and then refine the result. For coarse registration, we employ a fast random sample matching method. After the initial position is estimated and refined, all subsequent range images are registered by applying a pair-wise registration technique between range images. To reduce the accumulation error of pair-wise registration, we periodically refine the registration between range images and the DSM. Virtual environment is established to perform several experiments using a virtual vehicle. Range images are created based on the DSM by modeling a real 3D sensor. The vehicle moves along three different path while acquiring range images. Experimental results show that registration error is about under 1.3m in average.

이제까지 제안된 캠퍼스 내 차량 관리 시스템은 단순한 차량의 출입만을 관리하기 위한 시스템이며 주차권을 발급하거나 CCTV를 이용한 차량 식별, 또는 간단히 차량에 부착된 RFID 태그를 인식하여 차단기의 계폐를 통제하는 시스템이 대표적이다. 이 시스템들은 차량의 출입만 통제할 뿐 차량의 위치를 파악하여 주차관리에 적용할 수 없는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문1)에서는 센서노드를 이동차량에 부착해 WSN의 위치추적기술의 하나인 센서노드에서 발신되는 수신신호세기를 이용한 방법을 통하여 수신 신호 세기(RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication) 정보의 데이터베이스를 구축해 차량과의 거리계산과 위치까지 추적할 수 있는 응용프로그램을 구현함으로써 캠퍼스 내 차량의 위치파악과 주차관리 등에 있어 보다 효율적인 방법을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 지역 차분 프라이버시(Local Differential Privacy, LDP) 기법을 이용하여 프라이버시를 보호하면서 수집한 차량 위치 데이터와 딥러닝 기법을 이용하여 교통량을 예측하기 위한 기법을 제시한다. 제시한 기법은 데이터를 수집하는 과정과 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 교통량을 예측하는 과정으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 데이터 수집 과정 중에 발생할 수 있는 프라이버시 침해 문제를 해결하기 위해 LDP 기법을 적용하여 차량의 위치 데이터를 수집한다. LDP 기법은 데이터 수집 시 원본 데이터에 노이즈를 추가해 사용자의 민감한 데이터가 외부에 노출되는 것을 방지한다. 이를 통해 운전자의 프라이버시를 보존하면서 차량의 위치 데이터를 수집할 수 있다. 두 번째 단계에서는 첫 번째 단계에서 수집한 데이터에 딥러닝 기법을 적용하여, 교통량을 예측한다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 기법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해, 실데이터를 이용한 성능 평가를 진행한다. 성능 평가 결과는 본 논문에서 제안한 기법이 사용자의 프라이버시를 보호하면서 수집된 데이터를 이용하여 효과적으로 교통량을 예측할 수 있음을 입증한다.

최근의 항만은 유비쿼터스 환경 구축에 따른 일반적인 항만 관리에 있어 U-Port 서비스를 도입하여 컨테이너 위치 추적 시스템, 항만 터미널 관리 시스템, 선진정보교환시스템 등을 구현하고 있다. 특히, 화물 차량과 컨테이너의 위치 추적 서비스는 실시간으로 화물차량과 컨테이너의 위치와 상태 정보를 제공하여 효율적인 차량 운행 관리와 문제 발생시 즉각적인 대처가 가능하게 한다. 하지만 대규모 항만 내에서 화물 차량의 무질서한 운행이나 주 정차, 도난 파손 사고 출입 관제 등의 문제를 효율적으로 관리하기에는 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 항만 내에서의 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 자동 게이트 통관 시점부터 항만 내에 화물 차량이 체재하는 동안 차량 또는 출입자의 위치를 전자 지도상에 표시하고, 확인이 필요하거나 사고 발생 지역을 원격에서 영상으로 확인할 수 있는 항만내 차량 또는 출입자의 위치 인식 및 고해상도 영상 압축, AVE/H.264 저장 및 영상 전송을 통한 영상 확인 시스템을 구현하였다.

This paper proposes a segmentation method for overlapped vehicles based on analysis of the vehicle location and the spatiotemporal association information. This method can be used in an intelligent transport system. In the proposed method, occlusion is detected by analyzing the association information based on a vehicle's location in continuous images, and occlusion segmentation is carried out by using the vehicle information prior to occlusion. In addition, the size variations of the vehicle to which association tracking is applied can be anticipated by learning the variations according to the overlapped vehicles' movements. To assess the performance of the suggested method, image data collected from CCTVs recording traffic information is used, and average success rate of occlusion segmentation is 96.9%.

In AVL, GIS analyze the information from the vehicles to provide commercial or other value far user. As spatial analysis functions in GIS make a new valuable information using the vehicle's position and geographic object's location, they perform an important roles to improve the management efficiency of vehicles. Most GIS however are used static data for the spatial analysis, so the research area on AVL used dynamic vehicle location has generated unsuitable result. In this study, we use GPS real time tracking data to perform spatial analysis between moving vehicle and static geographic object. The method proposed in this paper considers the driving direction of vehicle and creates the result which is located in forward of vehicle. In this paper, two spatial analysis functions, near and connectivity, are developed.

Early iterations of the existing Global Positioning System (GPS)-based or radio lateration technique-based vehicle localization algorithms suffer from flip ambiguities, forged relative location information and location information exchange overhead, which affect the subsequent iterations. This, in turn, results in an erroneous neighbor-vehicle map. This paper proposes an extended information overlap measure (EIOM) algorithm to reduce the flip error rates by exchanging the neighbor-vehicle presence features in binary information. This algorithm shifts and associates three pieces of information in the Moore neighborhood format: 1) feature information of the neighboring vehicles from a vision-based environment sensor system; 2) cardinal locations of the neighboring vehicles in its Moore neighborhood; and 3) identification information (MAC/IP addresses). Simulations were conducted for multi-lane highway scenarios to compare the proposed algorithm with the existing algorithm. The results showed that the flip error rates were reduced by up to 50%.

For its simplicity and cost effectiveness in implementation, the Inverted DGPS is well suited for some specific applications like automatic vehicle location systems, where the monitoring station needs accurate position of the vehicles in the street. In the Inverted DGPS, the user sends its GPS position and associated satellite informations to the reference station, and the corrections are made at the reference station to get differentially corrected user position. A fundamental requirement in IDGPS is that the user and the reference station must use the same satellites when the corrections are made. But in practice, it is not often satisfied. Inverted DGPS is also suffered from performance degradation as the baseline become large like DGPS. IDGPS system using multi-reference station can resolve this problem. In this paper a simple multi-reference IDGPS algorithm is proposed and some experiments and analysis are peformed. Experiment results show that IDGPS can achieve the positioning performance as accurate as the DGPS can provide.
