In this study, a carrier smoothed global positioning system / dead reckoning (CSGPS/DR) integrated system for high-precision trajectory estimation for the purpose of vehicle navigation was proposed. Existing code-based GPS has a low position accuracy, and carrier-phase differential global positioning system (CPDGPS) has a long waiting time for high-precision positioning and has a problem of high cost due to the establishment of infrastructure. To resolve this, the continuity of a trajectory was guaranteed by integrating CSGPS and DR. The results of the experiment indicated that the trajectory precision of the code-based GPS showed an error performance of more than 30cm, while that of the CSGPS/DR integrated system showed an error performance of less than 10cm. Based on this, it was found that the trajectory precision of the proposed CSGPS/DR integrated system is superior to that of the code-based GPS.

Utilizing the existing polishing robot prevents unrestricted change of direction, driving, and identification of driving pathway. To overcome this barrier, driving mechaism has been designed with Omniwheels with encoders and RSSI method of beacon system has been utilized to identify the driving path by position recognition. Due to the wheel characteristics, the Omniwheel mobile robot generates greater slip than the conventional mobile robot, which reduces its driving accuracy. Therefore, to improve the driving accuracy, the localization is conducted through the fusion of encoder and RSSI of beacon data to compensate for the errors caused by Dead Reckoning and inaccuracy of sensors. Finally, the localization accuracies of the proposed and conventional indoor localization method are compared to show effectiveness of the proposed driving control for a polishing robot.

In the GPS/DR integrated system, the GPS position(or velocity) is used to compensate the DR output and to calibrate errors in the DR sensor. This synergistic relationship ensures that the calibrated DR accuracy can be maintained even when the GPS signal is blocked. Because of the observability problem, however, the DR sensors are not sufficiently calibrated when the vehicle speed is low. This problem can be solved if we use a multi-antenna GPS receiver for attitude determination instead of conventional one. This paper designs a two-antenna GPS receiver integrated with DR sensors. The proposed integration system has three remarkable features. First, the DR sensor can be calibrated regardless of the vehicle speed with the aid of two-antenna GPS receiver. Secondly, the search space of integer ambiguities in GPS carrier-phase measurements is reduced to a part of the surface of the sphere using DR heading. Thirdly, the detection resolution of cycle-slips in GPS carrier-phase measurements is improved with the aid of DR heading. From the experimental result, it is shown that the search grace is drastically reduced to about 3120 of the non-aided case and the cycle-slips of 1 or half cycle can be detected.

This paper describes the implementation of a precise underwater navigation solution using a multi-sensor fusion technique based on USBL, DVL, and IMU measurements. To implement this precise underwater navigation solution, three strategies are chosen. The first involves heading alignment angle identification to enhance the performance of a standalone dead-reckoning algorithm. In the second, the absolute position is found quickly to prevent the accumulation of integration error. The third one is the introduction of an effective outlier rejection algorithm. The performance of the developed algorithm was verified with experimental data acquired by the deep-sea ROV, Hemire, in the East-sea during a survey of a methane gas seepage area at a 1,500 m depth.

In this paper, we suggest that how to improve an accuracy of mobile robot's localization by using the sensor network information which fuses the machine vision camera, encoder and IMU sensor. The heading value of IMU sensor is measured using terrestrial magnetism sensor which is based on magnetic field. However, this sensor is constantly affected by its surrounding environment. So, we isolated template of ceiling using vision camera to increase the sensor's accuracy when we use IMU sensor; we measured the angles by pattern matching algorithm; and to calibrate IMU sensor, we compared the obtained values with IMU sensor values and the offset value. The values that were used to obtain information on the robot's position which were of Encoder, IMU sensor, angle sensor of vision camera are transferred to the Host PC by wireless network. Then, the Host PC estimates the location of robot using all these values. As a result, we were able to get more accurate information on estimated positions than when using IMU sensor calibration solely.

구조 요원 위치 추적을 위해 Wi-Fi 기반 위치 추적 기술을 이용하는 경우, 거리 측정 정보를 제공하지 않는 Wi-Fi의 특성상 RSSI 핑거프린트 데이터베이스나 신호 감쇄 모델을 이용하여 거리측정치를 생성해 내어야 한다. 그러나 구조 현장에서 임시로 구축되는 데이터 통신 네트워크에서는 사전에 데이터베이스 구축이 어려워 적용이 곤란하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 통신 네트워크 구축을 위해 사용된 전개식 AP의 근접 정보와 보행 항법 정보를 이용하여 복수 구조 요원의 위치 추적 방법을 연구하였다.

스마트폰을 이용한 실내 항법 시스템은 대형 실내 시설에서 사용자의 위치 기반 서비스를 위해 매우 중요한 기반 기술이다. 이를 위해서 스마트폰에 내장된 가속도 센서와 자이로 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 이동 거리와 방향을 추정할 수 있다면 추가적인 외부 환경이 필요 없으므로 매우 유용한 기술이 된다. 본 논문은 일반적인 스마트폰에 Pedestrian Dead Reckoning(PDR) 기술과 칼만 필터를 적용하여, 사용자가 스마트폰을 가슴 앞에 잡고서 이동하면서 위치를 추적하는 실내에서의 항법 시스템 기술에 관한 것이다. 특히 회전 방향각을 추정하기 위하여 확장 칼만 필터가 설계되었고 실험적으로 일정속도로 보행하는 경우에 그 성능이 검증되었다.

In this paper, a dual foot (DF)-PDR system is proposed for the fusion of integration (IA)-based PDR systems independently applied on both shoes. The horizontal positions of the two shoes estimated from each PDR system are fused based on a particle filter. The proposed method bounds the position error even if the walking time increases without an additional sensor. The distribution of particles is a non-Gaussian distribution to express the lateral error due to systematic drift. Assuming that the shoe position is the pedestrian position, the multi-modal position distribution can be fused into one using the Gaussian sum. The fused pedestrian position is used as a measurement of each particle filter so that the position error is corrected. As a result, experimental results show that position of pedestrians can be effectively estimated by using only the inertial sensors attached to both shoes.

Today, the number of vehicle increased rapidly with the development of modem science technology, and it caused serious problems; traffic jam, accident and pollution etc. One of the solve methods these problems it is necessary to develope the vehicle navigation systems and it is already widely used to in field of military etc. Vehicle navigation system can increase the efficiency of traffic flow and offer at a drivers at a best driving conditions. In the vehicle navigation, most important thing is to measure of correct position. There are classifiable as three types. The first is G.P.S., method at artificial satellites which measures the present position and velocity any time, any where in the world at the same time. Secondly, a vehicle can determine its position and path information with a gyroscope and odometer signal, which is called Dead-Reckoning method. Thirdly, hybrid navigation system is the combined of two methods to make utilize the advantage of each navigation system. In the paper, we are analyzed to characteristics at a gyro sensor and introduce at a composition of hybrid navigation system which is combined with the G.P.S., D.R., and map-matching technique. We analyze deeply for the Map-Matching method and explain the coordinate transformation for G.P.S., and the Hybrid navigation algorithm is developed and experimented. Finally, we conclude and comment about our road test results.
