International Maritime Organization(IMO) recommends the installation of an Automatic Identification System(AIS) according to requirements by SOLAS Chapter 5 to avoid maritime collision. AIS provides traffic information of other ships that may be used for maritime traffic control, SAR(Search and Rescue) and collision avoidance to apply safety management. In this paper, preliminary results to implement an aeronautical surveillance transceiver using AIS transceiver based on ADS-B concepts are described. Although altitude information is not required for AIS since the AIS is operated at MSL(Mean Sea Level), altitude information can be extracted by a GPS chip-set in the ALS transceiver. ADS-B transceiver is implemented by defining a surveillance message format including the altitude information and modifying SOTDMA protocol. Ground tests and flight tests are performed to validate the implementation results.

Digital airborne image must be precisely orthorectified to become geographical information. For orthorectification of airborne images, GPS/INS (Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) and LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) elevation data were employed. In this study, 635 frame airborne images were produced and LIDAR data were converted to raster image for applying to image orthorectification. To derive images with constant brightness, flat field correction was applied to images. The airborne images were geometrically corrected by calculating internal orientation and external orientation using GPS/INS data and then orthorectified using LIDAR digital elevation model image. The precision of orthorectified images was validated by collecting 50 ground control points from arbitrary five images and LIDAR intensity image. As validation result, RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) was 0.387 as almost same as only two times of pixel spatial resolution. It is possible that this automatic orthorectification method of airborne image with higher precision is applied to airborne image industry.

The escalating demands for high-resolution satellite imagery necessitate the dissemination of geospatial data with superior accuracy.Achieving precise positioning is imperative for mitigating geometric distortions inherent in high-resolution satellite imagery. However, maintaining sub-pixel level accuracy poses significant challenges within the current technological landscape. This research introduces an approach wherein upsampling is employed on both the satellite image and ground control points (GCPs) chip, facilitating the establishment of a high-resolution satellite image precision sensor orientation. The ensuing analysis entails a comprehensive comparison of matching performance. To evaluate the proposed methodology, the Compact Advanced Satellite 500-1 (CAS500-1), boasting a resolution of 0.5 m, serves as the high-resolution satellite image. Correspondingly, GCP chips with resolutions of 0.25 m and 0.5 m are utilized for the South Korean and North Korean regions, respectively. Results from the experiment reveal that concurrent upsampling of satellite imagery and GCP chips enhances matching performance by up to 50% in comparison to the original resolution. Furthermore, the position error only improved with 2x upsampling. However,with 3x upsampling, the position error tended to increase. This study affirms that meticulous upsampling of high-resolution satellite imagery and GCP chips can yield sub-pixel-level positioning accuracy, thereby advancing the state-of-the-art in the field.

To install and operate the Automatic Noise Monitoring Networks reasonably, which able to monitoring environmental noise continually, is an important issue for making decision to urban environment. Noise level is determined by regional environmental factors, that affected by complex urban environment. Therefore, accurate measurement of environmental noise level has top priority to establish and promote appropriate environmental policies. Currently, Automatic Noise Monitoring System is installed for grasping the environmental noise level and preparing basic data for constructing noise-reduction policies. However, this measurement data is recognized not to be able to reflect a sensory noise. The main reason is the lack of reliable measurement data and unreasonable installation site. The main point of this research ought to be the analysis of installed site of noise monitoring system in Busan.

In the machine tool spindle, various tasks ranging from roughing to finishing must be possible, and the functions of constant speed movement or rotation positioning must be performed. Therefore, there are many variables to be considered in the spindle design. The Swiss Turn Type spindle automatic lathe is a good machine tool for working pins with thinner shafts than a fixed automatic lathe. The Swiss Turn Type spindle is mainly used for precision machining of small products, so the machining precision should be high. The maximum outer diameter limit shall be Ø32 and the inner diameter limit shall be Ø6. In this study, the static and dynamic characteristics of the SCM440 material used in the spindle type automatic lathe were analyzed by applying it to the Swiss turn type spindle automatic lathe. Numerical analysis was used to obtain optimal design technique with high speed and high accuracy considering the factors affecting the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle.

This paper presents a sensitivity optimization of a MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) gyroscope for a magnet-gyro system. The magnet-gyro system, which is a guidance system for a AGV (automatic or automated guided vehicle), uses a magnet positioning system and a yaw gyroscope. The magnet positioning system measures magnetism of a cylindrical magnet embedded on the floor, and AGV is guided by the motion direction angle calculated with the measured magnetism. If the magnet positioning system does not measure the magnetism, the AGV is guided by using angular velocity measured with the gyroscope. The gyroscope used for the magnet-gyro system is usually MEMS type. Because the MEMS gyroscope is made from the process technology in semiconductor device fabrication, it has small size, low-power and low price. However, the MEMS gyroscope has drift phenomenon caused by noise and calculation error. Precision ADC (analog to digital converter) and accurate sensitivity are needed to minimize the drift phenomenon. Therefore, this paper proposes the method of the sensitivity optimization of the MEMS gyroscope using DEAS (dynamic encoding algorithm for searches). For experiment, we used the AGV mounted with a laser navigation system which is able to measure accurate position of the AGV and compared result by the sensitivity value calculated by the proposed method with result by the sensitivity in specification of the MEMS gyroscope. In experimental results, we verified that the sensitivity value through the proposed method can calculate more accurate motion direction angle of the AGV.

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the precision of 3D positioning using 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective. The 3D calibration target was built over building facade outside and was captured separately by two CCD cameras installed in 4S-Van. After then, we determined the interior orientation parameter for each CCD camera through self-calibration technique. With the interior orientation parameter computed, the bundle adjustment was performed to obtain the exterior orientation parameters simultaneously for two CCD cameras using calibration target image and object coordinates. The reverse lens distortion coefficients were computed and acquired by least squares method so as to introduce lens distortion into epipolar line. It was shown that the reverse lens distortion coefficients could transform image coordinates into lens distorted image coordinates within about 0.5 pixel. The proposed semi-automatic matching scheme incorporated with lens distorted epipolar line was implemented with scene images captured by 4S-Van in moving. The experimental results showed that the precision of 3D positioning from 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective is within 2cm in the range of 20m from the camera.

With the advent of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems(ECDIS) and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) as the principal navigation equipment of E-navigation strategy, mariners will begin to practice "e-navigation" and increasingly rely upon these systems to navigate safely and efficiently. However, these electronic systems require "e-inputs" in order to function. At present, the choices for e-input are limited, and they are installation dependent. This means that the mariner must be suitably equipped in order to use an alternative e-input. If the primary e-input is lost, and the vessel is not equipped to make use of suitable alternative e-inputs, then continued operations will have to be done the "old fashioned way" using conventional navigation The final objective is a recommendation of dual harbor positioning system on the most appropriate mix of positioning systems to satisfy the marine needs for radionavigation, positioning services.

A novel technique has been developed to observe the three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of chemical components in biological materials using both automatic sectioning microtome and infrared microscope. The 3-D image was reconstructed based on the relationship between the content and the absorbancy of specified wavelength for chemical components. By using the automatic sectioning microtome, the kernel of rice sample fixed in paraffin was sequentially sliced with the thickness of $5\;\mutextrm{m}$ after pasting the sliced sectional specimens on an adhesive tape. The chemical components of the specimens, which are placed on the X-Y controlling stage with positioning accuracy of ${\pm}10\;\mutextrm{m}$, were analyzed by the infrared microscope. The 3-D images demonstrated that the zonal protein about $200\mutextrm{m}$ in width was observed mainly at the outer parts of a rice particle, and carbohydrates entirely. These images can be observed by choosing arbitrary observation angle. The result indicated that the developed technique could be applied 3-D information to investigate intrinsic chemical components but also residual pesticides as well as bacteria contamination for agricultural produce.
