This study proposes a multi-scale template matching technique with image pyramids (TMI) to measure structural dynamic displacement using a vision sensor under atmospheric turbulence conditions and evaluates its displacement measurement performance. To evaluate displacement measurement performance according to distance, the three-story shear structure was designed, and an FHD camera was prepared to measure structural response. The initial measurement distance was set at 10m, and increased with an increment of 10m up to 40m. The atmospheric disturbance was generated using a heating plate under indoor illuminance condition, and the image was distorted by the optical turbulence. Through preliminary experiments, the feasibility of displacement measurement of the feature point-based displacement measurement method and the proposed method during atmospheric disturbances were compared and verified, and the verification results showed a low measurement error rate of the proposed method. As a result of evaluating displacement measurement performance in an atmospheric disturbance environment, there was no significant difference in displacement measurement performance for TMI using an artificial target depending on the presence or absence of atmospheric disturbance. However, when natural targets were used, RMSE increased significantly at shooting distances of 20 m or more, showing the operating limitations of the proposed technique. This indicates that the resolution of the natural target decreases as the shooting distance increases, and image distortion due to atmospheric disturbance causes errors in template image estimation, resulting in a high displacement measurement error.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 생산 현장에서의 로봇 작업이 "getting"과 "putting"의 동작으로 구서 되는 것에 기초하여 이들 동작을 분류. 표준화하여 2단계의 단위동작 (GET, PUT) 별로 여러 가지의 모듈을 설정하고, 동작거리별로 표준시간을 산출하는 기법을 다룬다. 즉 기존의 로봇 작업측정법이 작업을 기존동작으로 분석하는 것과는 다르게 시간의 변동요인인 모듈의 Type과 동작거리의 Case를 선택함으로써 표준시간을 설정한다.를 선택함으로써 표준시간을 설정한다.

변전소 모선에서 측정되는 전압, 전류를 기반으로 하는 CB기반 고장거리 추정기법은 배전선의 다중 분기선 때문에 다중개의 고장위치를 추론하는 것은 물론 분기 부하모델의 불확실성으로 인해 거리 계산에 오차를 포함하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 기반의 배전계통 하에서 구간 측정 전압, 전류 및 IED간 정보교환을 통해 얻어지는 전압, 전류 정보를 이용하여 고장경로를 추정하는 IED 기반 고장경로 추정기법을 제안한다.

We investigate depth measurement error of a range finder based on triangulation method. Geometric analysis resulted in intuitive understanding of the error sensitivity. We show that the depth error is propostional to the distance between the object andthe camera. The measurement value has the highest accuracy when the line connecting the focal point of the camera and the object is perpendicular to the line joining the object and the light source of herange finder. Also we analyze the error using a perturbation method and verify that the results are identical through an experiment.

In this paper, we propose an active water level and distance measurement algorithm using a light beam pattern. On behalf of conventional water level gauge types of pressure, float-well, ultrasonic, radar, and others, recently, extensive research for video analysis based water level measurement methods is gradually increasing as an importance of accurate measurement, monitoring convenience, and much more has been emphasized. By turning a reference light beam pattern on bridge or embankment actively, we suggest a new approach that analyzes and processes the projected light beam pattern image obtained from camera device, measures automatically water level and distance between a camera and a bridge or a levee. As contrasted with conventional methods that passively have to analyze captured video information for recognition of a watermark attached on a bridge or specific marker, we actively use the reference light beam pattern suited to the installed bridge environment. So, our method offers a robust water level measurement. The reasons are as follows. At first, our algorithm is effective against unfavorable visual field, pollution or damage of watermark, and so on, and in the next, this is possible to monitor in real-time the portable-based local situation by day and night. Furthermore, our method is not need additional floodlight. Tests are simulated under indoor environment conditions from distance measurement over 0.4-1.4m and height measurement over 13.5-32.5cm.

This paper proposes a method to improve the performance of low cost infrared distance sensor. Infrared distance sensor measures the intensity of reflected light and converts it into distance. The proposed method improves the sensing distance of the sensor and makes it operate robustly in various lighting environments. This is achieved by extracting the characteristic curves of the sensor and applying the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique. The output value of the sensor was obtained by varying the intensity of the infrared input and the exposure time, and the characteristic curve of the sensor was extracted from it.

This paper introduces an interference elimination method using k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm for precise distance estimation by reducing interference between ultrasonic sensors. Conventional methods compare current distance measurement result with previous distance measurement results. If the difference exceeds some thresholds, conventional methods recognize them as interference and exclude them, but they often suffer from imprecise distance prediction. KNN algorithm classifies input values measured by multiple ultrasonic sensors and predicts high accuracy outputs. Experiments of distance measurements are conducted where interference frequently occurs by multiple ultrasound sensors of same type, and the results show that KNN algorithm significantly reduce distance prediction errors. Also the results show that the prediction performance of KNN algorithm is superior to conventional voting methods.

Exercise such as walking is helpful to manage one's own weight and to counter life habit diseases such as obesity. Calorie consumption is usually calculated based on the distance walked. One way to measure the distance is by using steps and stride length. Most pedometers, including some applications in smart devices, are inaccurate, because they use a common value as the average stride length, even though each person has a different stride length. Moreover, the stride length differs depending on the walking pace, which will further increase the error. To address this, in this paper, I classify paces into three categories. Following that, I introduce a customized measurement of stride length, which is calculated based on the stride length corresponding to each pace category after obtaining x, y, z values from a 3-axis accelerometer in the smart device. In addition to this, I developed an application running on the smart device designed for the proposed measurement of stride. I have conducted three experiments for the assessment of the proposed measurement. In conclusion, I confirmed the effectiveness of this system.

In this paper, we propose an indexing method to support efficient similarity search for sequence databases. We present a new distance measurement called minimum DTW distance to enhance the filtering effects. The minimum DTW distance is to measure the minimum distance between a sequence data and the group of similar sequences. It enables similarity search through hierarchical index structure by filtering sequence databases. Finally, we show the superiority of our method through some experiments.
