This paper describes real time implementation of subband sound localization system on a floating-point DSP TI TMS320C31. The system determines two dimensional location of an active speaker in a closed room environment with real noise presents. The system consists of an two microphone array connected to TI DSP hosted by PC. The implemented sound localization algorithm is Subband CPSP which is an improved version of traditional CPSP (Cross-Power Spectrum Phase) method. The algorithm first split the input speech signal into arbitrary number of subband using subband filter banks and calculate the CPSP in each subband. It then averages out the CPSP results on each subband and compute a source location estimate. The proposed algorithm has an advantage over CPSP such that it minimize the overall estimation error in source location by limiting the specific band dominant noise to that subband. As a result, it makes possible to set up a robust real time sound localization system. For real time simulation, the input speech is captured using two microphone and digitized by the DSP at sampling rate 8192 hz, 16 bit/sample. The source location is then estimated at once per second to satisfy real-time computational constraints. The performance of the proposed system is confirmed by several real time simulation of the speech at a distance of 1m, 2m, 3m with various speech source locations and it shows over 5% accuracy improvement for the source location estimation.

본 논문은 금속파편이 발생시 금속파편의 위치를 추정하기위한 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 추정 알고리즘은 자동화된 알람 구별부와 위치 추정부로 구성된다. 알람 구별부는 충격 신호인지 거짓 충격 신호인지를 구별하는 기능을 수행하며, 위치 추정부는 충격신호로부터 충격신호의 시작점을 찾아내어 위치를 추정한다. 이 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하기위해 원자로 Mock-up 상에서 실험한 결과 위치 추정값 과 실제 충격값이 약 10 % 이내의 오차율을 보였다.

In the microcell- or picocell-based system the frequent movements of the mobile bring about excessive traffics into the networks. A mobile location estimation mechanism can facilitate both efficient resource allocation and better QoS provisioning through handoff optimization. Existing location estimation schemes consider only LOS model and have poor performance in presence of multi- path and shadowing. In this paper we study a novel scheme which can increase estimation accuracy by considering NLOS environment

본 논문에서는 2.45GHz대역 RTLS에서 2차원 평면 위치추정 알고리즘을 확장한 3차원 공간상의 위치추정 알고리즘을 연구하였으며, 태그의 송신시간 정보가 필요 없는 TDOA 기법을 이용하여 3차원 좌표를 추정하였다. 가로, 세로 300m의 탐색범위에서 시뮬레이터 구현을 통해 이차원 평면상의 쌍곡선 교점을 태그의 X, Y 좌표로 추정하였으며, 추정한 X, Y 좌표를 통해 Z 좌표를 최종적으로 추정하였다. RTLS 규격상 허용 오차 범위는 반경 3m 이내를 만족해야 하며, 실험결과 리더의 수신 옵셋이 이상적인 경우 태그의 3차원 위치는 실제 좌표와 근접함을 확인하였다. 수신옵셋이 32.76nsec 이내의 경우 옵셋의 차등적 증가시 RTLS 규격상의 반제 3m 이내의 오차범위를 벗어남을 확인하였다. 따라서 추후 연구를 통해 리더의 수신옵셋을 저감할 수 있는 기법이나 3차원 위치 추정시 적정 임계치 설정과 같은 판별 기법을 통해 위치 추정의 정확도를 향상시켜야 할 것으로 고려된다.

High impedance fault(HIF) is defined as a fault that the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occurs in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equipment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes a fault location estimation algorithm for high impedance fault using wavelet transform. The algorithm is based on the wavelet analysis of the fault voltage and current signals. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154kV korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. From the tests presented in this paper it can be concluded that a fault location estimation algorithm using wavelet transform can precisely calculate the fault point for HIF.

In this paper, we proposed a method of improving the location estimation error existing in RTLS (Real Time Location Service) system for the individual mobility. As ubiquitous age comes, interest for indoor location tracking system is getting more increased. However, existing indoor location tracking system does not correspond actively to frequent changes in indoor environment, and there is a problem that correct location measurement of moving object is difficult due to NLOS (non-line-of-sight) property of indoor environment. Purpose of this paper is to propose an environment accommodation location tracking system that improves the location precision of moving object and grasps location of the object effectively, which is essential an element effectively to provide service and satisfy various users' request.

In this paper, an estimation of person height and 3D location of a moving person by using the pan/tilt-embedded stereo tracking system is suggested and implemented. In the proposed system, face coordinates of a target person is detected from the sequential input stereo image pairs by using the YCbCr color model and phase-type correlation methods and then, using this data as well as the geometric information of the stereo tracking system, distance to the target from the stereo camera and 3-dimensional location information of a target person are extracted. Basing on these extracted data the pan/tilt system embedded in the stereo camera is controlled to adaptively track a moving person and as a result, moving trajectory of a target person can be obtained. From some experiments using 780 frames of the sequential stereo image pairs, it is analyzed that standard deviation of the position displacement of the target in the horizontal and vertical directions after tracking is kept to be very low value of 1.5, 0.42 for 780 frames on average, and error ratio between the measured and computed 3D coordinate values of the target is also kept to be very low value of 0.5% on average. These good experimental results suggest a possibility of implementation of a new stereo target tracking system having a high degree of accuracy and a very fast response time with this proposed algorithm.

Acoustic signal is crucial for the autonomous navigation of underwater vehicles. For this purpose, this paper presents a method of acoustic source localization. The proposed method is based on the probabilistic estimation of time delay of acoustic signals received by two hydrophones. Using Bayesian update process, the proposed method can provide reliable estimation of direction angle of the acoustic source. The acquired direction information is used to estimate the location of the acoustic source. By accumulating direction information from various vehicle locations, the acoustic source localization is achieved using extended Kalman filter. The proposed method can provide a reliable estimation of the direction and location of the acoustic source, even under for a noisy acoustic signal. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed acoustic source localization method in a real sea environment.

A promising approach to improve the performance of mobile location system is the use of antenna arrays in both transmitter and receiver sides. Using advanced array signal processing techniques, such multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems can offer more mobile location information by exploiting the spatial properties of the multipath channel. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to determine the position of mobile terminal based on estimated multipath signal parameters using only one base station in MIMO communication systems. This approach intends to minimize the error occurring from the estimation of multiple paths and gives an optimal estimation of the position of mobile terminal by simultaneously calculating a set of nonlinear location equations. This solution breaks the bottleneck of conventional mobile location systems which have to require multilateration of at least three base stations.
