  • GNSS(Global navigation Satellite system) is the system which determines the users' position using the navigation satellites. The position determination using GNSS has to be always Possible to appling GNSS to railway system widely. Especially, to apply GNSS to the safety-critical application, such as train control system, the satellite's visibility has to be always secured. This study describes the necessity of visibility analysis and the method. And also the visibility analysis of the stand-alone GNSS and the integration GNSS are performed and the applicability of GNSS for train control application is analysed.

  • Silhouette is useful in computer graphics for a number of techniques such as non-photorealistic rendering, silhouette clipping, and blueprint generating. Methods for generating silhouette are classified into three categories: image-based, object-based, and hybrid-based. Hybrid-based method is effective in terms of time complexity but spatial coherence problem still remains. In this paper, we proposed a new hybrid-based method which produces 3D data for silhouette and also guarantees no spatial coherence problem. To verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, several experiments are conducted for various 3D models from simple to quite complex. Results show that our algorithm generates no gap between any two consecutive silhouette lines when the silhouette model is magnified significantly.

  • Obtaining accurate visibility measurements is a common atmospheric optical problem, and of vital significance to civil aviation. To effectively evaluate and improve the accuracy of visibility measurements, an outdoor atmospheric simulation chamber with dimensions of $1.8{\times}1.6{\times}55.7m^3$ was constructed. The simulation chamber could provide a relatively homogeneous haze environment, in which the visibility varied from 10 km to 0.2 km over 5 hours. A baseline-changing visibility measurement system was constructed in the chamber. A mobile platform (receiver) was moved from 5 m to 45 m, stopping every 5 m, to measure and record the transmittance. The total least-squares method was used to fit the extinction coefficient. During the experiment conducted in the chamber, the unit weight variance was as low as $1.33{\times}10^{-4}$ under high-visibility conditions, and the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was as high as 0.99 under low-visibility conditions, indicating high stability and accuracy of the system used to measure the extinction coefficients and strong consistency between repeated measurements. A Grimm portable aerosol spectrometer (PAS) was used to record the aerosol distribution, and then Mie theory was used to calculate the extinction coefficients. The theoretical results were found to be consistent with the measurements and exhibited a positive correlation, although they were higher than the measured values.

  • In the work package 'Integrated Positioning' of the research project NAVIO (Pedestrian Navigation Systems in Combined Indoor/Outdoor Environements) we are dealing with the navigation and guidance of visitors of our University. Thereby start points are public transport stops in the surroundings of the Vienna University of Technology and the user of the system should be guided to certain office rooms or persons. For the position determination of the user different location sensors are employed, i.e., for outdoor positioning GPS and dead reckoning sensors such as a digital compass and gyro for heading determination and accelerometers for the determination of the travelled distance as well as a barometric pressure sensor for altitude determination and for indoor areas location determination using WiFi fingerprinting. All sensors and positioning methods are combined and integrated using a Kalman filter approach. Then an optimal estimate of the current location of the user is obtained using the filter. To perform an adequate weighting of the sensors in the stochastic filter model, the sensor characteristics and their performance was investigated in several tests. The tests were performed in different environments either with free satellite visibility or in urban canyons as well as inside of buildings. The tests have shown that it is possible to determine the user's location continuously with the required precision and that the selected sensors provide a good performance and high reliability. Selected tests results and our approach will be presented in the paper.

  • Spectrally resolved interferometry (SRI) is an attractive technique to measure absolute distances without any moving components. In the spectral interferogram obtained by a spectrometer, the optical path difference (OPD) can simply be extracted from the linear slope of the spectral phase. However, SRI has a fundamental measuring range limitation due to maximum and minimum measurable distances. In addition, SRI cannot distinguish the OPD direction because the spectral interferogram is in the form of a natural sinusoidal function. In this investigation, we describe a direction determining SRI and propose the optimal conditions for determining OPD direction. Spectral phase nonlinearity, caused by a dispersive material, effects OPD direction but deteriorates spectral interferogram visibility. In the experiment, various phase nonlinearities were measured by adjusting the dispersive material (BK7) thickness. We observed the interferogram visibility and the possibility of direction determination. Based on the experimental results, the optimal dispersion conditions are provided to distinguish OPD directions of SRI.

  • 본 논문에서는 6년째 운용되고 있는 아리랑 1호에 탑재된 GPS 수신기의 실제 궤도 상 성능을 분석하였다. 수신기의 환경변수 설정에 따라 지상에서 수행하는 궤도결정 정밀도 변화, GPS 위성 가시성들을 분석하였으며, 실제 궤도에서 운영 중 관측되는 문제점에 대해서 기술하였다. 분석 결과, 항행해를 구하는 Position Fix Algorithm을 ‘Best-of-4’ 로 설정한 상태에서 획득한 항행해를 이용한 지상 궤도결정 정밀도가 ‘N-in-View’ 설정 상태의 결과 보다 약간 높았으며, 이때 ‘Mask Angle'은 0도로 설정하는 것이 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 반면, ‘N-in-View’ 방식하에서는 GPS 위성에 대한 가시성이 조금 높았으며, 일시적인 3D Fix Loss 발생 빈도 수도 상대적으로 적은 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 이 논문에서는, 스플릿-스펙트럼 처리(split-spectrum processing)의 자동화를 위한 가용대역폭의 결정방법을 연구하였다. SSP는 결정립(grain) 잡음을 갖는 초음파신호의 가시도를 개선하는데 이용된다. SSP가 S/N비를 개선하는 유용한 기술임에도 불구하고 가용대역폭 결정의 모호성 때문에 응용이나 자동화에는 제한이 있었다. 최근까지도 가용대역폭을 최적으로 하기 위해 시행착오 방법에 의존하고 있다. 스펙트럼 히스토그램은 수신된 초음파신호 스펙트럼의 전대역에 걸친 최소화 알고리즘에 의하여 얻어진 스펙트럼 윈도우의 통계적 분포도이다. 가용대역폭은 스펙트럼 히스토그램을 이용하여 적응적으로 결정되기 때문에 SSP의 자동화가 가능하다. 스펙트럼 히스토그램을 이용한 가용대역폭의 결정방법을 조사하기 위해 이 방법을 실험 데이타에 적용하였다. 실험결과, 스펙트럼 히스토그램은 SSP의 가용대역폭의 결정과 자동화를 위한 효율적인 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

  • 현재 240여기의 상업용 정지궤도 통신위성이 운용 중에 있지만, GPS 등의 위치항법 위성의 고도보다 높을 뿐만 아니라 나쁜 가시성으로 인하여 중궤도 위치항법시스템을 사용할 수 없으므로 반드시 지상관제소에 의해 추적되어야 한다. 또한 지상관제소에서 관측할 경우 정지궤도 위성은 거의 움직이지 않는 것처럼 보이기 때문에 수 미터급의 정지궤도위성의 위치결정 정밀도를 높이기 위해서 충분히 멀리 떨어진 2곳 이상의 추적안테나를 사용하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정지궤도 위성의 궤도결정과 자동운용을 위해서 정지궤도 고도보다 높은 2일 주기의 원형궤도를 사용하는 GSPS(Geostationary Satellite Positioning System)을 제안하였다. GSPS는 지상추적소에서 정밀하게 위치가 결정된 자기 자신의 위치정보 및 시각정보, 보정데이터와 정지궤도 위성의 운용을 위한 명령을 GSPS 위성에 전송하여 정지궤도위성에 위치정보를 제공하는 기능을 한다.

  • A strategy is needed for a regional survey of geosynchronous orbits (GSOs) to monitor known space objects and detect uncataloged space objects. On the basis of the Inter-Agency Debris Committee's recommendation regarding the protected region of geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), target satellites with perigee and apogee of $GEO{\pm}200km$ and various inclinations are selected for analysis. The status of the GSO region was analyzed using the satellite distribution based on the orbital characteristics in publicly available two-line element data. Natural perturbation effects cause inactive satellites to drift to two stable longitudinal points. Active satellites usually maintain the designed positions as a result of regular or irregular maneuver operations against their natural drift. To analyze the detection rate of a single optical telescope, 152 out of 412 active satellites and 135 out of 288 inactive satellites in the GSO region were selected on the basis of their visibility at the observation site in Daejeon, Korea. By using various vertical view ranges and various numbers of observations of the GSO region, the detection efficiencies were analyzed for a single night, and the numbers of follow-up observations were determined. The orbital estimation accuracies were also checked using the arc length and number of observed data points to maintain the GSO satellite catalog.
