  • Low-cost solid-state inertial sensors of three rate Gyroscopes and a triaxial Accelerometer are evaluated in static and dynamic environments. As a interim result, error models of each inertial sensors are generated. Model parameters with respect to temperature are acquired in static environment. These error models are included in an Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) to compensate bias error due to temperature variation. Experimental results in dynamic environment are included to show the validity of the each error model and the performance improvement of a compensated low cost inertial sensors for a navigational application

  • An INS(Inertial Navigation System) is composed of a navigation computer and an IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), and can be applied to estimate a vehicle's state. But the inertial sensors assembled in the IMU are too complicated and expensive to use for the general application purpose. In this study, a new concept of inertial sensor system using magnetic levitation is proposed. The proposed system is expected to replace one single-axis rate or position gyroscope, and one single-axis accelerometer concurrently with a relatively simple structure. A simulation of the proposed system is given to describe the capability of this new concept.

  • The study aims to distinguish hemiplegic gait and normal gait using simple wearable device and classification algorithm. Thus, we developed a wearable system equipped three axis accelerometer and three axis gyroscope. The developed wearable system was verified by clinical experiment. In experiment, twenty one normal subjects and twenty one patients undergoing stroke treatment were participated. Based on the measured inertial signal, a random forest algorithm was used to classify hemiplegic gait. Four-fold cross validation was applied to ensure the reliability of the results. To select optimal attributes, we applied the forward search algorithm with 10 times of repetition, then selected five most frequently attributes were chosen as a final attribute. The results of this study showed that 95.2% of accuracy in hemiplegic gait and normal gait classification and 77.4% of accuracy in hemiplegic-side and normal gait classification.

  • This study aims to evaluate smartphone gaming controllers. Diffusion of smartphone makes its users to play smartphone games in ease and comfort and its built-in sensors deliver new gaming experience to the users. Based on the concept how the controller system is important, the current research also implies the importance of customizing service which gives users a selection to deploy a controller. To explore the interaction effect of controllers and customizing on interactivity, flow, usability, attitude, and intention, the research constructs 3(gyroscope, wheel, and button controllers) by 2(default and customizing setting) experimental design and forty college students played Gameloft's Asphalt 8: Airborne in a within subject design. The results showed that interaction effect and customizing main effect were not found, but controller main effect was statistically significant. Button controller is superior to those other two in more detail. It implies that it is still not useful to play new types of gaming controller, and a customizing service. It suggests that smartphone games should more focus on improving optimal user experience with built-in sensor controllers.

  • We present a method for tracking and interaction based on hybrid sensing for virtual environments. The proposed method is applied to motion tracking of whole areas, including the user's occlusion space, for a high-precision interaction. For real-time motion tracking surrounding a user, we estimate each joint position in the human body using a combination of a depth sensor and a wand-type physical user interface, which is necessary to convert gyroscope and acceleration values into positional data. Additionally, we construct virtual contents and evaluate the validity of results related to hybrid sensing-based whole-body tracking of human motion methods used to compensate for the occluded areas.

  • This paper presents a fault detection and isolation(FDI) method based on Generalized Likelihood Ratio(GLR) test for the tightly coupled SDINS/CPS system. The GLR test is known to have the capability of detecting an assumed change while estimating its occurrence time and magnitude, and isolating the changing part. Once a fault is detected even if we don't know if the fault occurrs at either INS or GPS, multi-hypothesized GLR scheme performs the fault isolation between INS and GPS, and find which satellite malfunctions. However, in the INS faulty case, it turned out to fail to accomodate the fault isolation between accelerometer and gyroscope due to the coupling effects and a poor observability of the system. Hence, to isolate the INS fault, it needs to change the attitude of the vehicle resulting in enhancing the degree of observability.

  • 본 논문은 실내 환경에서 스마트 워치(smart watch)를 이용하여 사용자의 원시 데이터를 수집, 가공하고, 이를 통해 사용자의 다양한 복합 동작을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 사용자의 동작을 인식하는 방법들은 다양하다. 특히 최근 웨어러블 기기(wearable device)들이 각광받으면서 웨어러블 기기를 이용하여 인체 동작이나 활동 상태 등의 생체신호를 인식하려는 다양한 시도가 일어나고 있다. 하지만 동작이나 활동 상태에 관한 많은 연구들이 센서를 허리에 부착하는 등의 특정한 상황만을 상정하거나 위성항법장치(GPS, global positioning system)에 의존한 실외 환경에 국한되어 있는데, 이는 대부분의 시간을 가정과 직장, 이동 수단 등의 실내 환경에서 소비하는 현대인들의 시간 소비 패턴과는 거리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트 워치의 가속도계(accelerometer), 각속도계(gyroscope), 심박계(heart bit), 압력계(barometer) 등 다양한 센서를 통해 원시데이터를 수집, 가공하여 사용자의 앉기, 서기, 오르막이나 내리막의 걷고 뛰기, 계단의 오르내리기 등 실내에서 일어날 수 있는 복합 동작을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다.

  • 마이크로머시닝을 이용한 각속도 센서에서는 기계 구조체의 기준진동에 의한 캐패시턴스의 변화와 인가되는 각속도에 따른 캐패시턴스의 변화를 감지하야 한다. 이러한 캐패시턴스의 변화량을 전기적으로 감지하는데 있어서 기준진동을 위해 구조체에 인가되는 구동신호의 간섭이 최소화 되도록 구조체를 설계하여야 하고 회로적으로 간섭을 상쇄할 수 있어야 미소한 캐패시턴스의 변화량을 감지하여 각속도 센서의 감도를 극대화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 구동신호의 간섭을 상쇄하여 미소캐패시턴스 변화를 감지하는 회로를 설계 하였다.

  • This paper is to present a method for recognizing an image of a tracking object by processing the image from a camera, whose attitude is controlled in inertial space with inertial co-ordinate system. In order to recognize an object, a pseudo-random M-array is attached on the object and it is observed by the camera which is controlled on inertial coordinate basis by inertial stabilization unit. When the attitude of the camera is changed, the observed image of M-array is transformed by use of affine transformation to the image in inertial coordinate system. Taking the cross-correlation function between the affine-transformed image and the original image, we can recognize the object. As parameters of the attitude of the camera, we used the azimuth angle of camera, which is de-fected by gyroscope of an inertial sensor, and elevation an91e of camera which is calculated from the gravitational acceleration detected by servo accelerometer.

  • The errors of IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit) can be divided into deterministic and random errors. Since the required accuracy of the IMU is very high, the errors must be compensated by using an accurate error mode. In this paper, we present a method to get a more accurate error model in a laboratory test. This was done by considering the setting misalignment in the laboratory test in the IMU error model. We considered here the IMU which consits of DTG(dynamically tuned gyroscope) and pendulum type accelerometer. First, it was shown that the estimation result from the model which does not contain the setting misalignment gives considerable estimation error at the validation test. Second, a new model considering the setting misalignment was derived. Finally, by validation test using the estimation results from new model the validity of it was proved.
