eLoran 지상파 전파항법시스템은 위성항법시스템 전파교란에 대비한 백업시스템으로 인정 받고 있다. 따라서 해양분야에서는 위성항법시스템을 이용한 측위와 항법분야에서 전파교란이 발생하는 경우에 대비한 eLoran 활용이 주요 관심사였다. 그러나 위성항법시스템은 측위와 항법분야 이외에 시각동기분야에서도 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 대표적인 예가 AIS의 시각동기이다. 본 논문에서는 eLoran 지상파 전파항법시스템이 시각동기분야에서 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지를 살펴본다. 이를 위해 eLoran 시각동기 성능에 대해 분석하고, 활용 가능 응용분야에 대해 알아본다.

위성항법시스템(GPS)은 편리성, 활용도 등으로 인해 항법, 이동통신, 금융, 전력 등 여러 분야(측위·항법·시각)에서 사용하고 있다. 위성이 지구로부터 약 2만키로미터 떨어져 있어 위성신호 수신 세기가 약해 외부로부터 전파간섭이나 교란 등 보안에 취약한 단점이 있다. 주요국(미국, 유럽, 중국, 인도 등)은 보안을 강화하여 독자적인 위성항법 시스템을 구축하여 운영하고 있다. 우리나라도 지상기반(eLoran)과, 위성기반(KPS)의 항법시스템을 구축중이다. 시스템 구축이 완료되면 한층 강화된 국가 PNT 체계 구축으로 만일의 사태에 발생할 수 있는 상황에 대비할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상기반, 위성기반의 항법시스템에 대한 핵심 기능과 추진계획을 기술하였으며, 관련 연구개발을 통해 더욱 정밀한 서비스 제공으로 해양뿐만 아니라 자율주행 이동체, 무인기 등 여러 산업 분야에 서비스를 확대해 나갈 계획이다.

Recently, various positioning technologies are being researched based on signal-based positioning and image-based positioning to obtain accurate indoor location information. Among these, various studies are being conducted on image positioning technology that determines the location of a mobile terminal using images acquired through cameras and sensor data collected as needed. For video-based positioning, a method of determining indoor location is used by matching mobile terminal photos with virtual landmark images, and for this purpose, it is necessary to build indoor spatial information about various landmarks such as billboards, vending machines, and ATM machines. In order to construct indoor spatial information on various landmarks, a panoramic image in the form of a road view and accurate 3D survey results were obtained through c 13 buildings of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute(ETRI). When comparing the 3D total station final result and the terrestrial lidar panoramic image coordinates, the coordinates and distance performance were obtained within about 0.10m, confirming that accurate landmark construction for use in indoor positioning was possible. By utilizing these terrestrial lidar achievements to perform 3D landmark modeling necessary for image positioning, it was possible to more quickly model landmark information that could not be constructed only through 3D modeling using existing as-built drawings.

Real Time Location System(RTLS)는 실시간으로 사물의 위치 정보 측위를 통해 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 시스템을 말한다. RTLS 시스템은 물류, 헬스케어, 생산 시설 등 사물인터넷(IoT, Internet of Things)과 관련된 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 최근에는 경마, 미식축구 및 발레 등 여러 스포츠 종목에 도입하고자 하는 시도가 늘고 있어 동계올림픽의 각 종목을 위한 훈련, 분석, 서비스 등에의 적용을 위한 개발을 적극적으로 검토할 필요가 있다. 통상적으로 실시간 위치 추적 시스템(RTLS)은 근거리 및 실내와 같은 제한된 공간에서의 위치 확인 및 위치 추적 시스템을 통칭하고, 이동통신망 기반의 위치기반 서비스(LBS) 처럼 사람 또는 사물의 위치를 확인하지만 주로 제한된 공간에 활용되므로 '실내위치 추적 서비스(IPS: Indoor Positioning System)'라고 불리기도 한다. 본고에서는 먼저 RTLS의 기술과 이를 스포츠에 접목하기 위한 사례를 중심으로 그 동향을 분석한다.

Recently, precision guided munition systems and missile defense systems based on GPS have been taking a key role in modern warfare. In warfare however, unexpected interferences cause by large/small scale fading, radio frequency interferences, etc. These interferences result in a severe GPS positioning error, which could occur late supports and friendly fires. To solve the problems, this paper proposes an interference mitigation positioning method by adopting a wavelet denoising filter algorithm. The algorithm is applied to a GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi combined positioning system which was performed by this laboratory. Experimental results of this paper are based on a real field test data of a GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi combined positioning system and a simulation data of a wavelet denoising filter algorithm. At the end, the simulation result demonstrates its superiority by showing a 21.6% improved result in comparison to a conventional GPS system.

As the basic Kalman filter is limited to be used for indoor navigation, and particle filters incur serious computational overhead, especially in mobile devices, we propose an adaptive hybrid filter for WiFi-based indoor positioning systems. The hybrid filter utilizes the same prediction framework of the basic Kalman filter, and it adopts the notion of particle filters only using a small number of particles. Restricting the predicts of a moving object to a small number of particles on a way network and substituting a dynamic weighting scheme for Kalman gain are the key features of the filter. The adaptive hybrid filter showed significantly better accuracy than the basic Kalman filter did, and it showed greatly improved performance in processing time and slightly better accuracy compared with a particle filter.

Map rendering, positioning, database managements are key elements of location based services. Google map and GPS (Global Positioning System) have become a very popular solution for map rendering and positioning, respectively. They are very effective and yet free of charge. However, they cannot be used for an indoor location based service system. We cannot render a building drawing with Google map, we cannot determine a moving object's position when it is indoor. This paper introduces our web services of rendering drawings, indoor positioning, and multimedia contents up-loading and playing so that any programmers can use them in developing indoor location based service systems. In order to experimentally show the efficiency of our web services, we have built a location based contents displaying system for museum visitors with them.

In this paper, we proposed indoor positioning system using RSS(Received Signal Strength) positioning method and TSS(Transmission Signal Strength). The main point in the paper is to improve reliability of accuracy positioning with the area recognition algorithm and probabilistic algorithm, which can be effectively used indoor. In the test in 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional spaces, also we checked effective positioning system considered environment of propagation that is changed by reflection, refraction and multipath in according to space form. It is necessary to find place where urgent situation happen and quickly to respond the situation for patients or the weak. Therefore, we expect the positioning system proposed can apply to the field of traffic IT.

Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) are used to track and identify the location of objects in real time using simple, inexpensive tags attached to or embedded in objects and readers that receive the wireless signals from these tags to determine their locations. A tag is powered an internal source such as a battery. The blink frequency of a tag affects the energy efficiency and the locating accuracy of RTLS. The mobility of a tag also affects the locating accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a RTLS tag design which improves the locating accuracy and the power efficiency. We propose an adaptive transmission-rate control algorithm using a motion sensor. By analyzing the signal pattern of the motion sensor, we can build a model to estimate the speed of the motion. Using this model, our algorithm can achieve better locating accuracy and lower power consumption than those of the conventional method. In our experiments, the number of transmission reduced as 40%, keeping similar locating accuracy.
