The whistle is a very important information source for the safety navigation under foggy weather. But navigator has no concern about this , because it must be achieved by human hearing sense and considered as a vague signal. If the range and relative bearing of signa source can be detected automatically, it would be very useful system for preventing marine casualties making a lot of economic loss and environment pollution. Before the algorithm of 2-dimensinal sound source tracking system was reported . This paper describes the method that can obtain thetime lag between three signas and the theory of cross-correlation analysis and subtraction method for cauculating the time lag by using the digital signal data sequences. And a series of experiments were carried out for various position of sound source in the range from 200m to 530cm.

We have been developed an intelligent mobile robot with an artificial olfactory function to recognize odours and to track odour source location. This mobile robot also has ben installed an engine for speech recognition and synthesis and is controlled by wireless communication. An artificial olfactory system based on array of 7 gas sensors has been installed in the mobile robot for odour recognition, and 11 gas sensors also are located in the obttom of robot to track odour sources. 3 optical sensors are also in cluded in the intelligent mobile robot, which is driven by 2 D. C. motors, for clash avoidance in a way of direction toward an odour source. Throughout the experimental trails, it is confirmed that the intelligent mobile robot is capable of not only the odour recognition using artificial neural network algorithm, but also the tracking odour source using the step-by-step approach method. The preliminary results are promising that intelligent mobile robot, which has been developed, is applicable to service robot system for environmental monitoring, localization of odour source, odour tracking of hazardous areas etc.

This paper proposes a geoacoustic inversion method for the experimental data or MAPLE 2004 experiment conducted in the East Sea of Korea in 2004 and shows source tracking test results to validate the Proposed inversion method. An objective function is defined as a correlation function of the measured and the simulated transmission loss data. The measured transmission data were obtained using a multi-tonal towed source and VLA. The VFSA (Very Fast Simulated Annealing) is applied to the inversion Problem which optimizes the objective function. After performing the inversion process for the S frequencies tonal data independently. geoacoustic models are constructed. Finally matched-field source tracking is Performed using the inverted parameters to verify them.

Beamspace transform algorithm transforms spatial-domain data - such as x, y, z dimension - into incidence-angle-domain data, which is called beamspace-domain data. The beamspace transform method is generally used in source localization and tracking, and adaptive beamforming problem. When the beamspace transform method is used in multichannel audio source separation, the inverse beamspace transform is also important because the source image have to be reconstructed. This paper studies the beamspace transform and inverse transform algorithms for multichannel audio source separation system, especially for the beamspace-domain multichannel NMF algorithm.

The necessity of intelligent surveillance system is gradually considered seriously from the space where the security is important. In this paper, we embodied unmanned intelligent system by developing embedded mobile robot based on images and sounds tracking. For objects tracking, we used block-matching algorithm and for sound source tracking, we calculated time differences and magnitude dissimilarities of sound. And we demonstrated the superiority of intruder tracking algorithm through the embodiment of Pan-Tilt camera and sound source tracking module using system, Network camera and mobile robot using system and mobile robot using system. By linking security system, the suggested system can provide some interfacing functions for the security service of the public facilities as well as that of home.

In this paper, we studied on the characteristics of RCD(Residual Current Device) case deteriorated by tracking, and compared the tracked samples between in the site of fire($S_1$) and in the reappearance experiment($E_1$). This experiment is applied to IEC Publ. 112 method. Electrical fire by tracking occurred after scintillation and dry-band generated. The insulation resistance between source terminals of RCD case was about 25.7Ω in $E_1$ and the resistance was about 58.6Ω in $S_1$.The exothermic peaks of $E_1$ appeared at $491.0^{\circ}C$ and $603.2^{\circ}C$. The exothermic peak at $603.2^{\circ}C$ was shown by tracking. And the exothermic peak of $S_1$ appeared at $593.1^{\circ}C$. In spectrum of $S_1$ and $E_1$, absorption peak didn't appear at near 1590 cm$^{-1}$ .

Recently, worldwide government policy is pursuing saving energy and preservation. add to this, the solar cells are getting the spotlight nonpolluting energy source, using a variety of products for solar cell. in this paper, we'll make solar tracking system for suitable of dynamic boat. we knew that general boats are using fixed solar cell, it's first time to use tracking system of solar cells for boats so it is hard to application. To solve this problem in this paper we use to a magnetic compass and GPS for suitable solar tracking system of dynamic movement and to analyze fixed and tracking solar system. frist. solar tracking device is designed two-axis control system. one-axis control system is taken a magnetic compass for making efficiency defence solar tracking sensor, two-axis control system apply GPS latitude and longitude data for SPA(Solar position algorithm) so we know the azimuth and altitude. it analyze data value of accuracy comparison from result. so the proposed algorithm confirm to have validity.

The tracking performance of the big tracking antenna system using Radio Frequency is very important for the tracking and position measuring for the flight vehicle, but the precise measuring of the tracking performance is not easy, especially for the big antenna system such as ground telemetry antenna or tracking radar in space application because it's characteristics could be different in accordance with the antenna direction. In this paper, the error factors impacting on the tracking performance (pointing accuracy and tracking accuracy) and the ranges of each factor are reviewed, and the simple and efficient method to measure the tracking performance is introduced which using low earth orbit as the signal source. Finally, the measurement results for the telemetry ground antenna in NARO Space Center are reviewed.

In this paper, the possibility of arc tracking, caused by combustion at the circuit breaker, was discussed. The arc tracking, occurred at the source terminals of all the circuit breakers, when we burned electric leakage circuit breakers with 220V applied. We had a same results of the experiment to simulate fire scene, in the circumstance of fire, all of the circuit breakers had arc tracking caused by combustion. Therefore we confirmed that the arc tracking at the source terminal of circuit breaker could be occurred by just combustion in the fire scene, and it was impossible to decide the cause of fire for reason of discriminating arc tracking at the terminals of circuit breaker.

This paper describes a omni-directionally speaker tracking system for mobile robot interface in real environment. Its purpose is to detect a robust 360-degree sound source and to recognize voice command at a long distance(60-300cm). We consider spatial features, the relation of position and interaural time differences, and realize speaker tracking system using fuzzy inference process based on inference rules generated by its spatial features.
