A deadzone compensator is designed for a XY positioning table using fuzzy logic. The classification property of fuzzy logic systems makes them a natural candidate for the rejection of errors induced by the deadzone, which has regions in which it behaves differently. A tuning algorithm is given for the fuzzy logic parameters, so that the deadzone compensation scheme becomes adaptive, guaranteeing small tracking errors and bounded parameter estimates. Formal nonlinear stability proofs are given to show that the tracking error is small. The fuzzy logic deadzone compensator is implemented on a XY positioning table to show its efficacy.

In this paper, a new audio reproduction system was developed in which the cross-talk signals would be reasonably cancelled at an arbitrary listener position. To adaptively remove the cross-talk signals according to the listener's position, a method of tracking the listener position was employed. This was achieved using the two microphones, where the listener direction was estimated using the time-delay between the two signals from the two microphones, respectively. Moreover, room reverberation effects were taken into consideration where linear prediction analysis was involved. To remove the cross-talk signals at the left-and right-ears, the paths between the sources and the ears were represented using the KEMAR head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) which were measured from the artificial dummy head. To evaluate the usefulness of the proposed listener tracking system, the performance of cross-talk cancellation was evaluated at the estimated listener positions. The performance was evaluated in terms of the channel separation ration (CSR), a -10 dB of CSR was experimentally achieved although the listener positions were more or less deviated. A real-time system was implemented using a floating-point digital signal processor (DSP). It was confirmed that the average errors of the listener direction was 5 degree and the subjects indicated that 80 % of the stimuli was perceived as the correct directions.

Based on the GPS/IMU integration, the car navigation has unstable conditions as well as drastically reduces accuracies in urban region. Nowadays, many cars mounted the camera to record driving states. If the ground coordinates of street furniture are known, the position and attitude of camera can be determined through SPR(Single Photo Resection). Therefore, an estimated position and attitude from SPR can be applied measurements in Kalman filter for updating errors of navigation solutions from GPS/IMU integration. In this study, the GPS/IMU/SPR integration algorithm was developed in loosely coupled modes through extended Kalman filters. Also, in order to analyze performances of GPS/IMU/SPR, simulation tests were conducted in GPS signal reception environments and the GCPs (Ground Control Points) distributions. In fact, the position and attitude gathered from GPS/IMU/SPR integration are more precise than the position and attitude from GPS/IMU integration. When IPs (image points), corresponded to GCPs, were concentrated in the center of image, the position error in the optical axis respectively increased. To understand effects from SPR, we plan to carry additional test on the magnitude of GCP, IP and initial exterior orientation errors.

동영상을 고효율로 압축할 수 있는 중요한 기술 중의 하나가 움직임 추정 기술이다. 움직임 추정 기술에서 가장 널리 사용되는 탐색 방식과 정합오차를 판단하는 기준은 각각 전역 탐색(FS: Full Search)알고리듬과 Sum of Absolute Differences(SAD)이다. 하지만, FS와 SAD를 사용한 움직임 추정기술은 인코더 전체 계산량의 50%이상을 차지하게 된다. 무선 통신 및 인터넷 환경에서 사용되는 응용프로그램에 대해서는 많은 계산량이 실시간 전송을 어렵게 만든다. 이러한 이유로, 동영상 압축 기술에서 계산량을 줄이는 방법이 중요하게 되었다. 그 결과로, SAD대신 다른 정합 오차 기준을 사용하여 움직임 추정기술의 계산량을 줄이는 알고리듬들이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 계산량을 줄이면서 하드웨어 구현 시 많은 이점을 가진 1비트 변환 (One-bit Transform, 1BT)알고리듬과 1비트 변환의 성능을 향상시킨 제한된 1비트 변환(Constrained one-bit transform, C-1BT)을 소개하고 C-1BT방법에 있어서 기존 방식의 빠른 인코딩속도를 유지하면서 PSNR을 증가시키는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬에서는 기존 C-1BT에서 고정해서 사용한 파라미터 D값을 대신에 현재블록과 동일한 위치에 있는 참조영역의 블록과 그 주변블록의 움직임벡터 정보를 이용해서 블록의 움직임 정도를 판단하고, 블록단위로 D값을 적응적으로 결정한다. 실험결과는 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 알고리듬과 비교하여 평균 0.11dB PSNR 증가를 보여 준다.

Since the omnidirectional camera system with a very large field of view could take many information about environment scene from few images, various researches for calibration and 3D reconstruction using omnidirectional image have been presented actively. Most of line segments of man-made objects we projected to the contours by using the omnidirectional camera model. Therefore, the corresponding contours among images sequences would be useful for computing the camera transformations including rotation and translation. This paper presents a novel two step minimization method to estimate the extrinsic parameters of the camera from the corresponding contours. In the first step, coarse camera parameters are estimated by minimizing an angular error function between epipolar planes and back-projected vectors from each corresponding point. Then we can compute the final parameters minimizing a distance error of the projected contours and the actual contours. Simulation results on the synthetic and real images demonstrated that our algorithm can achieve precise contour matching and camera motion estimation.

하천의 유량관측 자료는 지표수자원의 확보와 수공구조물의 설계를 위해 가장 기초적인 수문자료로써 정밀하고 지속적인 관측을 요구한다. 최근 유량 관측법은 접촉식 유속측정 방법의 단점을 보완한 전자파 표면유속계나 영상분석기법을 적용한 표면영상유속계(SIV)가 활용되고 있다. 이들 관측장비는 표면유속 관측법에 의해 유량을 측정하므로 보다 정밀한 유량자료를 확보하기 위해서는 측정 영역의 표면유속과 단면의 평균유속에 대한 해석이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 제주도 남부지역에 위치한 강정천을 대상으로 2011년 7월부터 2015년 6월 까지 월 1~2회 현장관측한 ADCP 자료를 활용하여 Chiu(1987)가 제안한 2차원 유속분포식의 매개변수를 추정하여 정밀한 유량을 산정하였다. 또한 표면영상유속계(SIV)로 산정된 표면유속을 Chiu-2 차원 유속분포식에서 평균유속으로 환산하여 기존의 표면유속을 일률적으로 적용한 수심평균유속 환산계수인 0.85의 적용 값과 비교 분석하였다. 대상하천의 현장에서 72회 관측된 ADCP 자료를 활용하여 각각의 최대유속과 평균유속을 분석하고 엔트로피 계수(M)를 산정한 결과와 유속의 공간적 분포를 모델링하기 위해 제시되는 $_{urf}$를 산정하였으며, 산정된 계수 값을 이용하여 표면유속을 계산한 결과와 ADCP의 관측된 표면유속의 $^2$는 0.874로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식을 연구대상하천에 적용하는 과정에서 추정되는 매개변수의 평균값 사용에 대한 타당성을 보여준다. 이 후 추정된 하천매개변수를 하천현장에 적용성 확인을 위해 강정천의 동일 관측지점에서 표면영상유속계(SIV)를 사용한 표면유속과 유량을 산정함과 동시에 ADCP에 의한 유속 및 유량과 비교 분석하였다. 표면영상유속계(SIV)로 분석된 유속 벡터를 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식에 적용하여 산정된 유량과 기존의 수심평균유속환산계수 0.85를 적용한 유량은 각각 $0.7171m^3/s$과 0$0.5758m^3/s$였다. ADCP 평균유량 $0.6664m^3/s$과의 오차율은 각각 7.63%, 13.64%로 나타나 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식을 적용한 유량이 수심평균유속환산계수 0.85를 적용한 유량에 비해 작은 오차율을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a technique to estimate the coordinates of feature points existing on a 2D planar object in the three dimensional space. The proposed method detects multiple 3D features from the image, and excludes those which are not located on the plane. The proposed technique estimates the planar homography between the planar object in the 3D space and the camera image plane, and computes back-projection error of each feature point on the planar object. Then any feature points which have large error is considered as off-plane points and are excluded from the feature estimation phase. The proposed method is archived on the basis of the planar homography without any additional sensors or optimization algorithms. In the expretiments, it was confirmed that the speed of the proposed method is more than 40 frames per second. In addition, compared to the RGB-D camera, there was no significant difference in processing speed, and it was verified that the frame rate was unaffected even in the situation that the number of detected feature points continuously increased.

In this paper, we propose carrier phase synchronization algorithm which are base on turbo coded system for DVB-RCS. There have been two categories of phase estimator, single estimator outside turbo code decoder and multiple estimators inside turbo code decoder. In single estimator, we use the estimation algorithm that ML(Maximum Likelihood) and LMS(Least Mean Square), also three different soft decision methods are proposed. Multiple estimator apply PSP(Per Survivor Processing) algorithm additionally. We compared performance between single estimator and Multiple estimator in AWGN channel. We presented the two methods of PSP algorithm for performance elevation. First is the Bi-directional channel estimation and second is binding method.

In this paper, we design and verify a system that can detect piping leakage noise in an environment with significant reverberation and reflection using a multi-channel acoustic sensor module as a technology to prevent major plant accidents caused by leakage. Four-channel microphones arranged in a tetrahedron are designed as a single sensor module to measure three-dimensional sound intensity vectors. In an environment with large effects of reverberation and reflection, the measurement error of each sensor module increases on average, so after placing multiple sensor modules in the field, measurement results showing locations with large errors due to effects such as reflection are excluded. Using the intersection between three-dimensional vectors obtained from several pairs of sensor modules, the coordinates where the sound source is located are estimated, and outliers (e.g., positions estimated to be outside the site, positions estimated to be far from the average position) are detected and excluded among the points. For achieving aforementioned goal, an excluding algorithm by deciding the outliers among the estimated positions was proposed. By visualizing the estimated location coordinates of the leakage sound on the site drawing within 1 second, we construct and verify a system that can detect the location of the leakage sound in real time and enable immediate response. This study is expected to contribute to improving accident response capabilities and ensuring safety in large plants.

In this paper, we propose a single view-based technique for the estimation of human height and position. Conventional techniques for the estimation of 3D geometric information are based on the estimation of geometric cues such as vanishing point and vanishing line. The proposed technique, however, back-projects the image of moving object directly, and estimates the position and the height of the object in 3D space where its coordinate system is designated by a marker. Then, geometric errors are corrected by using geometric constraints provided by the marker. Unlike most of the conventional techniques, the proposed method offers a framework for simultaneous acquisition of height and position of an individual resident in the image. The accuracy and the robustness of our technique is verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences from outdoor environments.
