SLAM(Simultaneous Localization And Mapping)은 주변 환경에 대한 지도 작성과 자신의 위치를 인식하는 기법으로 주행 로봇 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. FastSLAM(A Factored Solution to the SLAM)은 파티클 필터와 확장형 칼만 필터를 기반으로 한 대표적인 SLAM 기법중의 하나이나, 재추출 단계에서 입자들의 다양성이 상실되는 문제가 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 적합도 공유기법을 사용하여 입자들의 다양성 상실에 관한 문제를 보완하는 방법을 제시하고, 기존의 기법들과 성능을 비교 및 분석한다.

Automatic vehicle detection is a very important function for autonomous vehicles. Conventional vehicle detection approaches are based on visible-light images obtained from cameras mounted on a vehicle in the daytime. However, unlike daytime, a visible-light image is generally dark at night, and the contrast is low, which makes it difficult to recognize a vehicle. As a feature point that can be used even in the low light conditions of nighttime, the rear lamp is virtually unique. However, conventional rear lamp-based detection methods seldom cope with atypical lamps, such as LED lamps, or flashing turn signals. In this paper, we detect atypical lamps by blurring the lamp area with a low pass filter (LPF) to make out the lamp shape. We also propose to detect flickering of the turn signal lamp in a manner such that the lamp area is vertically projected, and the maximum difference of two paired lamps is examined. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a higher F-measure value of 0.24 than the conventional lamp pairing-based detection methods, on average. In addition, the proposed algorithm shows a fast processing time of 6.4 ms per frame, which verifies real-time performance of the proposed algorithm.

This paper reports an analysis of cyclist accident cases with respect to passenger vehicles on Korean roads. A typology based on Initiative for the Global Harmonization of Accident Data (iGLAD) code book is applied to a traffic accident analysis system(TAAS), which has the real-world crash data on Korea roads, to understand the accident scenarios in more detail and efficiently. Similarly this typology has been used for Germany In-Depth Accidents Study (GIDAS) as well. The accident data analysis with consideration of the typology of Korean road conditions may prioritize traffic safety issues regarding cyclists and is aimed to develop an Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system for cyclist. In summary, this paper characterizes and analyzes the scenarios of cyclist crashes with passenger car. The most common accident scenarios on Korean roads are Car-to-Bicyclist Nearside Adult (CBNA) and Car-to-Bicyclist Longitudinal Adult (CBLA), which are more than 86% of total accidents cases. Therefore, it is inferred that AEB cyclist system should include these accident types in the operational design domain to reduce more fatality in Korea.

For an intelligent vehicle driving which uses magnetic markers and magnetic sensors, we can get every kind of road information while moving the vehicle if we use the code that is encoded with N, S pole direction of markers. If we make it an only aim to move the vehicle, it becomes easy to control the vehicle the more we put markers close. By the way, to recognize the direction of a marker pole it is much better that the markers have no effect each other. To get road informations and move the vehicle autonomously we propose the methods of arranging magnetic sensors and algorithm of recognizing the position of the vehicle with those sensors. We verified the effectiveness of the methods with computer simulation.

Lane-level vehicle positioning is an important task for enhancing the accuracy of in-vehicle navigation systems and the safety of autonomous vehicles. GPS (Global Positioning System) and DGPS (Differential GPS) are generally used in navigation service systems, which however only provide an accuracy level up to 2~3 m. In this paper, we propose a 3D vision based lane-level positioning technique which can provides accurate vehicle position. The proposed method determines the current driving lane of a vehicle by tracking the 3D position of traffic signs which stand at the side of the road. Using a stereo camera, the 3D tracking paths of traffic signs are computed and their projections to the 2D road plane are used to determine the distance from the vehicle to the signs. Several experiments are performed to analyze the feasibility of the proposed method in many real roads. According to the experimental results, the proposed method can achieve 90.9% accuracy in lane-level positioning.

Acoustic based localization is essential to operate autonomous robotic systems in underwater environment where the use of sensorial data is limited. This paper proposes a localization method using artificial underwater acoustic sources. The proposed method acquires directional angles of acoustic sources using time difference of arrivals of two hydrophones. For this purpose, a probabilistic approach is used for accurate estimation of the time delay. Then, Gaussian sum filter based SLAM technique is used to localize both acoustic sources and underwater vehicle. It is performed by using bearing of acoustic sources as measurement and inertial sensors as prediction model. The proposed method can handle directional ambiguity of time difference based source localization by generating Gaussian models corresponding to possible locations of both front and back sides. Through these processes, the proposed method can provide reliable localization method for underwater vehicles without any prior information of source locations. The performance of the proposed method is verified by experimental results conducted in a real sea environment.

Analyzing adaptive possibilities of agents in multi-agents system, we have discovered new aspects of ambient intelligence in distributed modular systems using intelligent building blocks (I-BLOCKS) [1]. This paper describes early scientific researches related to technical design, applicable experiments and evaluation of adaptive processing and information interaction among I-BLOCKS allowing users to easily develop ambient intelligence applications. The processing technology presented in this paper is embedded inside each DUPLO1 brick by microprocessor as well as selected sensors and actuators in addition. Behaviors of an I-BLOCKS modular structure are defined by the internal processing functionality of each I-Blocks in such structure and communication capacities between I-BLOCKS. Users of the I-BLOCKS system can do 'programming by building' and thereby create specific functionalities of a modular structure of intelligent artefacts without the need to learn and use traditional programming language. From investigating different effects of modem artificial intelligence, I-BLOCKS we have developed might possibly contain potential possibilities for developing applications in ambient intelligence (AmI) environments. To illustrate these possibilities, the paper presents a range of different experimental scenarios in which I-BLOCKS have been used to set-up reconfigurable modular systems. The paper also reports briefly about earlier experiments of I-BLOCKS in different research fields, allowing users to construct AmI applications by a just defined concept of modular artefacts [3].

본 논문은 세계화가 지역의 성장격차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 16개 광역자치단체를 대상으로 무역의존도와 외국인직접투자를 세계화변수로 정하였으며 그 변수들이 지역간 성장격차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 추정 결과 지역간 성장격차에 있어서 외국인직접투자가 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며 무역의존도(개방도)는 격차에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수가 되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 우리나라에서 지역갈등의 원인이 되고 있는 지역간 성장격차를 해소하고 균형적인 성장을 기하기 위해서는 취약지역에 외국인투자 특히, 신산업분야의 국내외투자를 적극 유치하는 것이 필요하다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 이에 따라 그동안 외국인직접투자를 지역발전정책의 수단이기 보다는 주로 외자유치차원에서 관심을 가져왔으나, 앞으로는 지역격차의 시정을 위한 중요한 정책수단으로 활용할 필요가 있다.
