In photovoltaic(PV) system, for obtaining maximum efficiency of solar power systems, the solar tracking system must be controlled to match position of the sun. In this paper, we design the solar tracking system to track movement of the sun using CdS sensor modules and to determine direction of the sun under shadow of directions. In addition, for an intelligent computation in tracking of the sun, a fuzzy controller is allocated to space avaliable for splitting area of fuzzy part for the fuzzy input space(grid-type fuzzy partition) in which a fuzzy grid partition divides fuzzy rules bases. As well, a simple model of solar tracking system is designed by two-axis motor control systems and the 8-direction sensor module that can measure shadow from CdS sensor modules by matching of axis of CdS modules and PV panels. We demonstrate this systems is effective for fixed location and moving vessels and our fuzzy controller can track the satisfactorily.

This paper suggests that location tracking system by RFID. It uses the location tracking and the authentication to entrance after inserts passive RFID tag into user Identification card. The readers periodically broadcast their signal, and then the readers understand where users are by analyzing them. In one of tracking systems, it is possible to detect the area where user had stayed for the longest time during moving according to signal power, to know user moved path and user next moving path. Also, it can be used in entrance authentication system in security area by using tag ID value which stored to backend server.

The tracking antenna must always point to track moving vehicle for data link. In this paper, we determine pointing angle from the geometric relationship of antenna and UAV(Unmaned Aerial Vehicle) to let an antenna be toward a moving vehicle. The pointing angle of antenna is set through GPS measurement data installed in antenna and UAV. We verify the performance of this system from the fixing a camcoder on the antenna.

선박의 위치추적시스템(VMS: Vessel Monitoring System)은 선박의 안전항해를 확보하기 위한 수단으로 다양한 통신망을 사용하여 구성을 확대해나가고 있다. VMS를 위한 통신망으로는 현재 Inmarsat 및 Orbcomm 등 위성통신망과 AIS(Automatic Identification System of ships: 선박자동식별장치)의 VHF(Very High Frequency: 초단파) 통신망 등이 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 5톤 이상의 어선에도 VHF 무선설비의 설치를 단계적으로 강제화하였으며, 소형선박에도 AIS의 탑재를 강제화할 계획을 검토하고 있음에 따라 이에 따른 효율적인 통신망 구축 방안을 사전에 검토할 필요성이 대두되었다. 여기에서는 선박의 안전항해를 확보하고 효율적인 VMS를 구축할 수 있는 VMS 통신망 구축 방안에 대하여 연구 제시하였다.

According to wireless network technology and mobile processors performance were improved, the small wireless mobile device such as smart phones has been widely utilized. The mobile devices can be used GPS information, thereby the services based on location information was increased. GPS was impossible to provide location information in indoor and signal shading environment, and the tracking systems based on short distance wireless communication are required infrastructure. The IEEE 802.11 based tracking system is possible estimation using APs, however the tracking device is exhausted battery power seriously. In this paper, we propose IEEE 802.11 based low-power tracking system. We reduced power consumption from channel scanning and network connection. For performance evaluation, we designed and implemented the tracking tag device, and measured power consumption of the device. As the simulation result, we confirmed that the power consumption was reduced 46% compare to the standard execution.

Recently, Ubiquitous computing technology is increasing necessity for object recognition and a location tracking technology to meet various applications. The location tracking technology is the fundamental to the Context-Aware of users in Ubiquitous environment and its efficiency has to be improved using IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee used in current infra such as ubiquitous sensor network. But because the IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee protocol has limitation to apply location tracking technology such as ToA and TDoA, Zone-based Location Tracking technology using RSSI is needed. In this paper suggests RSSI-based 802.15.4 ZigBee local positioning protocol to support a positioning tracking service in Ubiqutous environment. And Zone-based location tracking system is designed for actual the indoor location tracking service.

Object tracking is being studied with various techniques such as Kalman filter and Luenberger tracker. Even in situations, such as the one in which the system model is not well specified, to which existing signal processing techniques are not successfully applicable, it is possible to design artificial neural networks to track objects. In this paper, we propose an artificial neural network, which we call 'maximum-likelihood weighted-average neural network', to continuously track unpredictably moving objects. This neural network does not directly estimate the locations of an object but obtains location estimates by making weighted average combining various results of maximum likelihood tracking with different data lengths. We compare the performance of the proposed system with those of Kalman filter and maximum likelihood object trackers and show that the proposed scheme exhibits excellent performance well adapting the change of object moving characteristics.

A monitoring system for container using CPS is the system for positioning and managing containers in real time. CPS is capable of positioning the container, promptly with a reasonable amount of accuracy. Facility managers of ports or airports should have loading, unloading, and keeping freight effectively. Transport companies or freight owners should allocate moving container properly and be able to prevent the loss or delay of freight. In this study, the position and pathways of container are monitored by real-time tracking method. The absolute and relative locations of container are monitored digitally and visually from TC_loading to TC_unloading yard. It has been tested the movement of the containers equiped with GPS, and its accuracy and efficiency were analyzed.

The researches about gaze detection have been much developed with many applications. Most previous researches only rely on image processing algorithm, so they take much processing time and have many constraints. In our work, we implement it with a computer vision system setting a IR-LED based single camera. To detect the gaze position, we locate facial features, which is effectively performed with IR-LED based camera and SVM(Support Vector Machine). When a user gazes at a position of monitor, we can compute the 3D positions of those features based on 3D rotation and translation estimation and affine transform. Finally, the gaze position by the facial movements is computed from the normal vector of the plane determined by those computed 3D positions of features. In addition, we use a trained neural network to detect the gaze position by eye's movement. As experimental results, we can obtain the facial and eye gaze position on a monitor and the gaze position accuracy between the computed positions and the real ones is about 4.2 cm of RMS error.
