Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is the abundant winter visitor in South Korea. Mallard migrates long distances between Russian Siberia and Korea. This species prefers a rice paddy area as their winter habitat. We captured birds using cannon-net, and attached the GPS-Mobile phone based Telemetry(WT-200) on Seven Mallards in the winter of 2011~2013. We were monitored wintering home-range and movement distance. We analyzed the tracking location data using ArcGIS 9.0 and calculated Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) and Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP). The average home-range in the wintering ground by MCP was $118.8km^2$(SD=70.1, n=7)and the maximum home-rang was $221.8km^2$ and the minimum was $27.7km^2$. Extents of home-range by KDE were $60.0km^2$(KDE 90%), $23.0km^2$(KDE 70%) and $11.6km^2$(KDE 50%). Mallard moved an average of 19.4 km from start site(attach to WT-200 site), maximum moved was 33.2 km and minimum moved was 9.4 km. The average distance of 0.8 km between GPS fixed point(range 0.2~1.6 km), maximum moved was 19.7 km. Mallard moved a very short distance in wintering season and showed a very high water-dependent trends in wintering site.

In the microcell mobile communication, we propose algorithms processing operational disposition to exactly analysis propagation environments from the base station to mobile stations. Algorithms are developed by the triangle analysis method can operate variable propagation paths and reflect numbers. For simulation, we suppose that mobile stations are located in the shadow region of the line of sight and the area of the non-line of sight sloping against the line of sight area at variable angles. By analyzing the results of simulation using proposed algorithms, we can be applied to the optimal position selection of the base station in the microcell mobile communication.

This paper presents a new robot motion planning method for moving obstacle avoidance. To consider the mobility of a moving obstacle, we define virtual distance function(VDF) between the robot and the obstacle. At each sampling time, we use the VDF to construct an artificial potential, considering the motion of obstacles. The robot moves according to the repulsive and attractive force vector induced by the artificial potential function. The proposed algorithm can be driven the robot to avoid moving obstacles in real time. Some simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 이동로봇의 저가형 위치인식센서로 적합한 PSD(Position Sensitive Detector)센서를 이용하여 거리계측시스템을 개발하였다. PSD 센서는 거리-전압 출력이 비선형적인 단점을 가지고 있어 센서의 특성실험을 통해 선형화가 가능한 변환함수를 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위하여 거리계측시스템의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 구성하였다. 또 피측정체의 색상 및 재질에 따른 출력특성을 실험하고 거리-전압 데이터를 측정하였다. 실측한 데이터를 바탕으로 제안한 선형화함수의 계수를 추출하였다. 마지막으로 제안한 함수에 의한 거리와 실제거리를 비교하여 시스템의 성능 및 정확성을 검증하였다.

Maritime object detection systems, which detects small maritime obstacles such as fish farm buoys and visualizes distance and direction, is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal to compensate for errors caused by hull motion, but there is a limit to distance error corrections necessitated by the vertical movement of the camera and the maritime object due to wave motions. Therefore, in this study, the distance error of maritime object detection systems caused by the movement of the water surface according to the external environment is analyzed and corrected using average filter and moving average filter. Random numbers following a Gaussian standard normal distribution were added to or subtracted from the image coordinates to reproduce the rise or fall of the buoy under irregular waves. The distance calculated according to the change of image coordinates, the predicted distance through the average filter and the moving average filter, and the actual distance measured by laser distance meter were compared. In phases 1 and 2, the error rate increased to a maximum of 98.5% due to the changes of image coordinates due to irregular waves, but the error rate decreased to 16.3% with the moving average filter. This error correction capability was better than with the average filter, but there was a limit due to failure to respond to the distance change. Therefore, it is considered that use of the moving average filter to correct the distance error of the maritime object detection system will enhance responses to the real-time distance change and greatly improve the error rate.

The virtual reality (VR) technology has been used as the application of architectural presentation or simulation tool in the field of industry. The high immersion and intuitive visual information are the great merits of design evaluation or environmental simulation when we are using the virtual environments. But the distortion of distance perception in VR is still a big problem when the accuracy of distance presentation is strictly required. For example, distance estimation is especially important when the virtual environments are applied to the presentational tool for evaluation the space design or planning in the field of architecture. If there are some perception error between the built space in real and represented space in virtual, the accurate design evaluation or modification of design is hard to be carried out during the design development stage. In this paper, we have carried out some experiments about distance estimation in the immersive virtual environments to verify the factors and their influence. We made a hypothesis that the lack of the information for the user in VR causes the different distance estimation from the real world because users are usually comfortable with moving fast and long distance in VR environments compared with moving slow and short distance in real space. So, we carried out basic experiment to prove our hypothesis that the lack of information makes subjects estimate the distance of walking in VR shorter compared with the same distance in real. Also, among the factors that probably affect the distance estimation in VR, we have verified the influence of the image resolution. The influence of resolution degradation of image on the distance estimation was verified with the condition of static and dynamic images. The results showed that the resolution has deep relation with the distance estimation. For example, the subject underestimated the distance at the lower resolution condition. We also found the methods of the making the lower resolution image could affect on the visual perception of subjects.

For the case of using analog FM system and CDMA system together in the mobile communications, we experimentally calculate the appropriate frequency offset to improve the frequency efficiency by analizing the interference between both systems. As the results of the analysis, we obtained that frequency offset is 840KHz(Path Loss : 80dB) and 720KHz(Path Loss : 120dB) for the Path Loss when a output of CDMA Base Station is 0.91 W ERP. Therefore, to minimize the frequency offset, a output of Base Station will be controlled corresponding to Cover Area.

In this paper, the measurement system of crane moving range is concerned with range recognition technology using phase and magnitude of radio wave. By the proposed technology, we design the radio transmitter and receiver and realize the measurement system, and save the data in disk that is earned from 900Mhz RF signal, middle frequency 450khz of analog signal. As a result of RF measurement, we got 9.3 dBm of RF output and 96 dBc@10khz of phase noise. Range information is earned the data through digital signal processing of IF signal. For the estimation of range measured, we analyze the difference between real range and measurement range, and also suggest the method to remove the measurement error using average processing and amplitude properties. A result is 0.12 and 0.00422 deviation in l0mn-30m and within 5m respectively, and then 2.4E-04 deviation in 4m by using compensation of level characteristics lately.

This study analyzed methodologies for determining the representative direction of a storm event. The mean direction, median direction, and modal direction of von Mises distribution were considered as representative directions. In addition, the results with and without considering the storm moving distance were also compared. As results, the modal directions of von Mises distribution were found to explain the directional characteristics of a moving storm much better than other methods. Also, it was found that the storm moving distance has a significant effect on the determination of representative directions of a moving storm, whose uncertainty can also be decreased significantly by considering the moving distance.
