This paper deals with a new method of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) recovery when a UAV fails to get a global positioning system (GPS) signal at an unprepared site. The proposed method is based on the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm. It is a process by which a vehicle can build a map of an unknown environment and simultaneously use this map to determine its position. Extensive research on SLAM algorithms proves that the error in the map reaches a lower limit, which is a function of the error that existed when the first observation was made. For this reason, the proposed method can help an inertial navigation system to prevent its error of divergence with regard to the vehicle position. In other words, it is possible that a UAV can navigate with reasonable positional accuracy in an unknown environment without the aid of GPS. This is the main idea of the present paper. Especially, this paper focuses on path planning that maximizes the discussed ability of a SLAM algorithm. In this work, a SLAM algorithm based on extended Kalman filter is used. For simplicity's sake, a blimp-type of UAV model is discussed and three-dimensional pointed-shape landmarks are considered. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated by a number of simulations.

In sensor network systems, all the nodes are interconnected and the positional information of each sensor is essential. To measure the temperature, position detection and communication functions are required. Many sensor nodes are distributed to a measurement field, and these sensors have three main functions: they measure the distance to the other nodes, the data of which are used to determine the position of each node; they communicate with other nodes; and they measure the temperature of each node. A novel range measurement method using the difference between light and sound propagation speed is proposed. The experimental results show the temperature distribution as measured with the aid of the determined positions. The positions of every node were calculated with a PC program. Eight nodes were manufactured and their fundamental functions were tested. The results of the range measurement method, which takes relatively accurate measurements, contribute significantly to the accuracy of the position determination. Future studies will focus on 3-D position determination and on the architecture of appropriate sensors and actuators.

모바일 기기의 제한적 환경에서 공간데이터의 활용을 극대화하기 위해 벡터데이터의 압축에 대한 연구가 최근 이뤄지고 있다. 이 중 군집화 방법을 이용한 벡터데이터 압축은 기존 압축방법과 다른 새로운 형태로 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 연구는 데이터의 동적인 갱신이 고려되지 않았다. 본 연구는 기존의 군집화 방법을 이용한 벡터데이터 압축방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 데이터의 동적인 갱신이 고려된 압축 방법을 제시하였다. 실험을 통한 결과는 갱신이 발생하였을 경우 제안된 방법이 더 좋은 결과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

지구측위시스템(GPS)은 1980년대 측량분야에서 가장 중요한 기술발전이며 최근에는 수신기의 개선과 데이터 처리기법의 발전에 따라 높은 정확도로서 효율적인 GPS측량이 가능하게 되었다. 이 논문에서는 데이터 선형조합의 방법에 대해 고찰하고 P코드/위상측정용 수신기인 Wild GPS System-200의 테스트 결과를 제시하고 있다. 연구결과는 7km/37km의 기선에서 1ppm 이내의 높은 정확도의 측정이 가능하며 P-코드 수신에 의한 1점측위에서는 10m의 위치정확도가 쉽게 얻어질 수 있으므로 초기좌표 결정에 효과적임을 보여주고 있다.

Machine tool errors have to be characterized and predicted to improve machine tool accuracy. Therefore, it is very important to assess errors in machine tools. Volumetric error analysis has been developed by many researchers. This paper presents a useful technique for analyzing the volumetric errors in machine tools using the ball bar. The volumetric error model is proposed in specific vertical machining center and the program is developed for generating NC code, acquiring the ball bar data, and analyzing the volumetric errors. The developed system assesses the volumetric errors such as positional, straightness, squareness, and back lash. Also this system analyzes the dynamic performance such as servo gain mismatch. The radial data acquired by ball bar on 3D space is used for analyzing these errors. It is convenient to test the volumetric errors on 3D space because all errors are calculated at once. The developed system has been tested using an actual vertical machining center.

지멘스(Siemens)사에서 개발된 가상미세다엽콜리메이터인 HD-270은, 전형적 다엽콜리메이터에 있어 폭의 유한성 때문에 불필요하게 발생하는 조사경계면의 요동현상을 완화시켜준다. 저자들은 이 기법을 사용했을 때의 선량분포의 변화를 확인하고, 치료계획단계에서 이를 평가해 볼 수 있도록 Pinnacle (Philips Radiation Oncology Systems, 미국) 전산화치료계획장치에 구현하였다. 그리고 임상적용에 앞서 선량학적 특성을 파악하기 위해, 가상미세다엽콜리메이터의 해상도, 조사경계면과 다엽콜리메이터가 형성하는 각도가 요동현상 및 유효반음영에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 또한 가상미세다엽콜리메이터 구현에 수반되는 치료테이블 움직임에 대한 위치 정확도를 평가하였다. HD-270의 임상적용을 위해 추가적으로 소요되는 치료계획과 치료 시간은 무시할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A fine stage is developed for the 3-DOF error compensation of a linear axis in order to improve the positioning accuracy. This stage is designed as a planar parallel mechanism, and the joints are based on a flexure hinge to achieve ultra-precise positioning. Also, the effect of Abbe's offsets between the measuring and driving coordinate systems is minimized to ensure an exact error compensation. The mode shapes of the designed stage are analyzed to verify the desired 3-DOF motions, and the workspace and displacement of a piezoelectric actuator (PZT) for compensation are analyzed using forward and inverse kinematics. The 3-DOF error of a linear axis is measured and compensated by using the developed fine stage. A marked improvement is observed compared to the results obtained without error compensation. The peak-to-valley (PV) values of the positional and rotational errors are reduced by 92.6% and 91.3%, respectively.

Lots of researches and applications on the automated overhead cranes in shops have been done for some decades, but a few successful results are reported. Integrated crane control systems designed by famous engineering companies are still expensive and are not satisfactory in view of maintenance and reliability. A more reasonable control system fit to requirements of manufacturing industries is suggested in the study. The new deigned system has superior capabilities for anti-sway of rope and position control. The controller for automated operations is composed of a Linux-based PC for non real-time control and a high-speed PLC for hard real-time control. Some algorithms required for coil yard operations as well as main control algorithms such as reference position generation, position control and anti-sway control have been designed and fully tested on the new crane simulator. The designed crane control system showed satisfactory performance on position control accuracy and anti-sway of rope. The maximum positional error is 8mm and the maximum sway error is 0.1 degrees. The suggested control strategies have been successfully applied to the 10-1 crane in No. 4 CGL of in the Kwangyang Steel Works and in commercial operation.

When it comes to set up the BIM through the reverse engineering, the level of detail(LoD) required for finalized outcomes is different from each purpose. Therefore, it is necessary to establish some concrete criteria which describe the definition of LoDs on 3D modeling for the purpose of each reverse engineering. This research shows the criteria of the 1) positional accuracy, 2) generalization level, 3) scale level, 4) scope of description, and 5) the area available for application by classifying LoD from 1 to 6 on 3D modeling for each purpose of reverse engineering. Moreover, through applying those criteria for the 3D point cloud dataset of building made by terrestrial LiDAR, this research finds out the working hour of 3D modeling of reverse engineering by each LoDs according to defined LoD criteria for each level. It is expected that those findings, how those criteria of LoD on reverse engineering are utilized for modeling-workers to decide whether the outcomes can be suitable for their budget, applicable fields or not, would contribute to help them as a basic information.

According to recent trend, hard disk drive(HDD) has been smaller and less weight. Therefore, it needs new method of writing position information. In this thesis, a new controller that is suitable for SSW is proposed. The controller accepted SSW technology that is used to write position information in current HDD industry. The important condition to perform SSW is to reach constant velocity decided from the head velocity profile as fast as possible. The constant velocity decides the positional accuracy of spiral pattern and setup time decides the capacity of HDD. The head velocity profile as a reference signal must be designed not to cause resonance mode. The proposed controller was designed with consideration of these 3 elements, and it properly works for SSW. The velocity profile designed with SMART control not only minimizes the jerk, but also does not cause the resonance mode of a plant. After designing a conventional PID controller, it compared with electrical spring technique and ZPET technique.
