Localization is one of the essential tasks necessary to achieve autonomous navigation of a mobile robot. One such localization technique, Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) is often applied to a digital surface model. However, there are differences between range data from laser rangefinders and the data predicted using a map. In this study, commonly observed from air and ground (COAG) features and candidate selection based on the shape of sensor data are incorporated to improve localization accuracy. COAG features are used to classify points consistent with both the range sensor data and the predicted data, and the sample candidates are classified according to their shape constructed from sensor data. Comparisons of local tracking and global localization accuracy show the improved accuracy of the proposed method over conventional methods.

In this paper, we designed and implemented mobile object automatic system based on senor networks for telematics. For developing this system, we gather the various sensing data through wireless communication method using zigbee sensor networks and analyze them in monitoring equipment. And we enable the driver to recognize the car state information on the whole by interfacing analyzed data to telematics unit. And, we implemented automatic controller that can control temperature and humidity in car automatically by actuating air conditioner based on the data that was monitored throughout temperature sensor, humidity sensor and brightness sensor based on sensor networks.

This paper presents empirical equations indicating the high frequency performance characteristics of air-cored induction coil sensors with their constructional parameters. An air-cored induction coil sensor is widely used due to good linearity at low frequency ranges but the sensor has weakness of relatively low sensitivity to the magnetic field. At high frequency ranges, the sensitivity can be dramatically increased, largely depending on the frequency of the injected field, and this property can be a great asset to some electromagnetic inspections, since they utilize the interrogating current with a fixed frequency. The application of this property of the coil sensor requires the estimation of its high frequency performance. We made experiments on the frequency responses of the coil sensors under diverse constructional conditions and, on the basis of the experimental results, the high frequency performance, such as the resonant frequency and the sensitivity at the frequency, was estimated, as a function of the constructional parameters of the coil sensor. The good agreements between experimental and estimated data were reported.

The seoul metropolitan subway has installed 8 lines and about 500 stations to transport 5 million passengers everyday. The underground air pollution level in the subway stations is very severe status, which is very harmful to the commutators and its personals. Although subway roles as such a massive and huge transportation system, the subway doesn't adapt yet any real-time air monitoring system. They have only some hand-held type detector equipments for monitoring air pollution. Therefore subway passengers are exposed to the harmful air pollution environment. The most harmful environmental parameters among the air pollution are known as the dust and sound noise dB level in the subway station. Because the dust is consisted of very small particles, we can't see them easily in dark condition on the platform, but it is very harmful. The monitoring system for air pollution is developed using embedded system attached with 6 different environmental sensors. This system monitors air pollution of dust sound noise, gas, temperature, humidity, inflammable gas, toxic gas in the subway ?station. The sensor unit of the ARM-CPU board and sensor transmits real time environmental data to the main server using Zigbee wireless communication module and TCP/IP network. The main control server receives and displays the real-time environmental data, and it send alarms to the personals when high level value.

Recently, with the development of the 4th industry, environmental issues such as air pollution have become serious, and in particular, a lot of air pollutants are generated in industrial sites. There are various types of air pollutants, and among them, carbon monoxide is essential for fires occurring in industrial sites, so it should be possible to monitor in real time. In addition, there is a need for a remote monitoring system that can measure various environmental factors other than air pollutants in real time. In this paper, we propose a monitoring system using wireless communication to remotely measure the industrial environment. The proposed monitoring system collects data to the Arduino of the transmitter by using a carbon monoxide sensor, a combustible gas sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a flame sensor, and then transmits it to the receiver using ZigBee. The transmitted data is stored in the database of the receiver Raspberry Pi, and the stored data can be monitored in real time through the monitoring system.

In this paper, we propose the real time indoor air quality monitoring and controlling platform on cloud using IoT sensor data such as PM10, PM2.5, CO2, VOCs, temperature, and humidity which has direct or indirect impact to indoor air quality. The system is connected to air ventilator to manage and optimize the indoor air quality. The proposed system has three main parts; First, IoT data collection service to measure, and collect indoor air quality in real time from IoT sensor network, Second, Big data processing pipeline to process and store the collected data on cloud platform and Finally, Big data analysis and visualization service to give real time insight of indoor air quality on mobile and web application. For the implication of the proposed system, IoT sensor kits are installed on three different public day care center where the indoor pollution can cause serious impact to the health and education of growing kids. Analyzed results are visualized on mobile and web application. The impact of ventilation system to indoor air quality is tested statistically and the result shows the proper optimization of indoor air quality.

An air-burst munition is limited in space, so there is a limit on the size of the fuze and the amount of ammunition. In order to increase a firepower to a target with limited ammunition, it is necessary to concentrate the firepower on the ground instead of the omnidirectional explosion after flying to the target. This paper explores the design and verification of a ground-detection sensor that detects the direction of the ground and determines the flight-distance of an air-burst munition using a single axis geomagnetic sensor. Prior to the design of the ground detection sensor, a geomagnetic sensor model mounted on the spinning air-burst munition is analyzed and a ground-detection algorithm by simplifying this model is designed. A high speed rotating device to simulate a rotation environment is designed and a geomagnetic sensor and a remote-recording system are fabricated to obtain geomagnetic data. The ground detection algorithm is verified by post-processing the acquired geomagnetic data. Taking miniaturization and low-power into consideration, the ground detection sensor is implemented with analog devices and the processor. The output signal of the ground detection sensor rotating at an arbitrary rotation speed of 200 Hz is connected to the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the high speed rotating device and the ground detection sensor is verified using a high-speed camera.

This paper describes the development of high fidelity air data processing algorithm which can be applied into an air data system for a high speed aerial vehicle. Unlike the previous air data system, current algorithm used several pre-determined pressure data which were obtained with computational fluid dynamic approach without using total pressures having enough sensor redundancy and fault detection ability. The verification of current algorithm was done by commercial software Matlab and Simulink.

It was intended in this study to seek for the measures to utilize the USN technique, which has high usability due to low price and low power consumption, in air quality monitoring. As a method, the sensors of temperature, humidity, particulate matters (PM10), and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) were installed in the self-manufactured sensor nodes; the nodes were installed in the waiting rooms and platforms of a subway station and the measurements were collected at real time with use of a computer which micro gateway was built in. Collected data was to be processed by the statistics program installed in the computer; the collected data is to be used in managing the air quality of stations after transmission to the ventilation system of ventilation chambers.
