본 논문에서는 스마트폰 기반의 사용자 이동 형태 판별 알고리즘에 대해 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 스마트폰의 자체 내장된 3 축 가속도 센서와 GPS센서의 데이터 정보를 기반으로 하여 현재 사용자의 이동 수단 및 위치를 판단하게 된다. 이때 GPS 센서을 이용해 사용자의 위치와 이동속도를 계산하여 사용자의 이동수단을 판별하는데 이용하게 되고 가속도 센서의 데이터를 분석하여 사용자의 세부적인 이동형태(걷기, 뛰기)를 판별하는데 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰의 두 가지 응용 센서(GPS, 가속도계)를 이용하여 사용자 이동상태 판별 알고리즘을 구현하고 테스트를 수행하였다. 실험 내용은 GPS를 통해 받은 데이터를 이용하여 이동속도를 계산하고 가속도 센서의 변화 폭을 측정 이동형태를 판별할 수 있는 속도와 가속도 센서의 기준 값을 실험 데이터를 바탕으로 정의하였다. 실험결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 사용자 이동형태 판별 알고리즘를 이용하여 사용자의 이동형태를 판별 할 수 있었다.

관성항법 시스템은 항체의 위치, 속도 및 자세정보를 거의 연속적으로 제공할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 시간의 경과함에 따라 초기오차가 누적되어 발산하게 되는 단점이 있다. 이로 인하여 실제 적용시에는 매우 고가의 정밀한 자이로와 가속도계가 필요하다. 반면 DGPS는 오차의 누적이나 증가없이 장기간 동안 안정적으로 위치정보를 제공하지만 낮은 데이터 전송률과 도심지역과 칼은 곳에서는 신호의 차단이나 전파방해에 영향을 받는 단점이 있다. 이와 같이 상호보완적인 DGPS와 INS 정보를 통합하여 고 정밀의 속도, 위치 및 자세데이터를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문은 저가의 IMU의 노이즈와 바이어스를 웨이브렛의 soft thresholding 기법을 이용하여 잡음을 제거하여 성능향상을 시도하였다. 통합알고리즘의 필터는 IS차로 구현하였으며 관측치는 DGPS의 위치정보를 이용하였다.

로봇은 오도메터리 정보를 이용해 위치추정을 할 수 있다. 그러나 주행하는 동안 발생되는 슬립현상에 의해 오도메터러 정보만으로는 로봇의 정확한 위치추정을 할 수 없다. 정확한 위치추정을 위해서 관성센서를 이용하여 오도메터리 정보를 보정한 위치추정 방법이 있다. 실내 이동로봇에 적용하려면 관성센서는 소형이어야 하는데, 그에 따라 노이즈는 심해지고, 정확성도 낮아지는 문제가 있나. 그래서 현재까지는 이런 문제를 갖고 있는 관성센서를 실내 이동로봇의 위치추정의 정확성을 높이기 위해 비관성센서 또는 카메라 영상을 조합하는 연구들을 하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 연구들은 대부분 관성센서 성능 실험과 시뮬레이션에 결론을 내리고 있어 실제 실험에 따른 정확성을 확인할 수 없다. 또한 최근 영상 SIFT 알고리즘을 적용한 SLAM 연구에서도 나타나는 문제는 이동로봇의 위치추정의 부정확성이다. 따라서 본 논문은 SLAM에서 문제가 되는 위치추정의 부정확성을 최소화하기 위해 자이로와 가속도계를 이용하여 정학한 위치추정을 하고자 한다.

The accurate calculation of bucket tip position has a large influence on showing the motion of an excavator on the display device of the excavator and controlling the excavator automatically. It is generally known that Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors are more accurate than accelerometer-based sensors while the boom, arm or bucket moves because additional forces beyond gravity add additional acceleration to the sensors. To prove the accuracy difference between the two types of sensors, a position recognition system using an accelerometer-based sensor and an IMU sensor is implemented on the excavator. The experimental results show that the system using the IMU sensor significantly reduces the position recognition error while bucket moves and additional force beyond gravity exists.

Leaks in underground pipelines can cause social, environmental and economical problems. One of relevant countermeasures against leaks is to find and repair of leak points of the pipes. Leak noise is a good source to identify the location of leak points of the pipelines. Although there have been several methods to detect the leak location with leak noise, such as listening rods, hydrophones or ground microphones, they have not been so efficient tools. In this paper, acoustic emission (AE) sensors and accelermeters are used to detect leak locations which could provide all easier and move efficient method. Filtering, signal processing and algorithm of raw input data from sensors for the detection of leak location are described. A 120m-long pipeline system for experiment is installed and the results with the system show that the algorithm with the AE sensors and accelerometers offers accurate pinpointing of leaks. Theoretical analysis of sound wave propagation speed of water in underground pipes, which is critically important in leak locating, is also described.

In this paper, we propose multiple location error compensation algorithm for GPS/INS fusion using kalman filter and introduce the way to reduce location error in 9-axis navigation devices for implementing inertial navigation technique. When evaluating location, there is an increase of location error. So navigation systems need robust algorithms to compensate location error in GPS/INS fusion. In order to improve robustness of 9-axis inertial sensor(mpu-9150) over its disturbance, we used tilt compensation method using compensation algorithm of acceleration sensor and Yaw angle compensation to have exact azimuth information of the object. And it shows improved location result using these methods combined with kalman filter.

There are several ways such as GPS(Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) to track the location of moving vehicle. The GPS has the advantages of having non-accumulative error even if it brings about errors. In order to obtain the position information, we need to receive at least 3 satellites information. But, the weak point is that GPS is not useful when the 혠 signal is weak or it is in the incommunicable region such as tunnel. In the case of INS, the information of the position and posture of mobile with several Hz~several hundreds Hz data speed is recorded for velocity, direction. INS shows a very precise navigational performance for a short period, but it has the disadvantage of increasing velocity components because of the accumulated error during integration over time. In this paper, sensor fusion algorithm is applied to both of INS and GPS for the position information to overcome the drawbacks. The proposed system gets an accurate position information from experiment using SVD in a non-accessible GPS terrain.

For a marine bridge foundation construction, a large-circular-steel-pipe has been proposed for supporting vertical load and preventing water infiltration. However, a ship collision can adversely affect the structural stability. This paper presents a fundamental study on dynamic responses of the large-circular-steel-pipe by an impact load. In laboratory experiments, small-scaled steel pipe is installed in a soil tank. The soil height and water level are set to 23 cm and 25~70 cm, respectively. The upper part of the steel pipe is impacted using a hammer to simulate the ship collision. The dynamic responses are measured using accelerometers and strain gauges. Experimental results show that the strain decreases as the measured location is lowered. The higher frequency components appear in the impact load condition compared to the microtremor condition. However, the higher frequency components measured at the strain gauge located below the water level do not appear. For the accelerometer signal, the maximum frequency under the impact load is higher than that of the microtremor. The maximum frequency decreases as water level increases but it is larger than the maximum frequency of the microtremor. This study shows that strain gauge and accelerometer can be useful for evaluating the dynamic responses of large-circular-steel-pipes.

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of three dimensional pointing device using Inertial Navigation System(INS) that acquires coordinates and location information without environmental dependancy. The INS measures coordinates based on the data from gyroscope and accelerometer and corrects the measured data from accelerometer using Kalman-Filter. In order to implement the idea of three dimensional pointing device, we choose a three dimensional Space-recognition mouse and use RFIC wireless communication to send a measured data to receiver for printing out the coordinate on display equipment. Based on INS and Kalman-Filter theoretical knowledge, we design and implement a three dimensional pointing device and verified the usability as an input device that can capture a human's move. also, we describe the applicability of this device in ubiquitous computing environment.
