유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 다양한 위치 기반 서비스(LBS)를 위해 객체 위치 인식은 필수적인 기술이다. 객체의 위치를 판별하기 위해서 GPS 시스템, 다수의 RF 신호 세기를 이용한 시스템이 이용되고 있다. GPS 시스템의 경우 고가의 수신기가 필요하며 실내 측위 환경에서 활용될 수 없으며, RF 신호를 이용한 위치 인식 시스템의 경우 빠른 신호 속도와 페이딩의 영향으로 충분한 신호의 해상도확보하기 어렵다. 하지만 상대적으로 느린 초음파를 이용한 경우 신호의 해상도가 높아 RF 기반 위치 측위 시스템보다 높은 정확도의 위치 인식이 가능하다. 초음파를 이용한 위치 인식 기술은 RF 통신을 통해 해당 초음파의 정보를 식별하고, 초음파와 RF 신호의 도달 시간의 차를 이용해 위치를 판별한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 신호 부호화 기법을 통해 RF 통신 모듈 없이 다중 객체의 위치를 인식하는 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다.

Recently, Fingerprint approach using RSSI based on WLAN has been many studied in order to construct low-cost indoor localization systems. Because this technique is relatively evaluated non-precise positioning technique compared with the positioning of Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB), the performance of the Fingerprint based on WLAN should be continuously improved to implement various indoor location. Therefore, this paper presents a Fingerprint approach which can improve the performance of localization by using RSSI and LQI contained IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The advantages of these techniques are that the characteristics of each location is created more clearly by utilizing RSSI and LQI and Fingerprint technique is improved by using the modified Euclidean distance method. The experimental results which are applied in NLOS indoor environment with various obstacles show that the accuracy of localization is improved to 22% compared to conventional Fingerprint.

Recently, an RSSI-based fingerprinting localization technology has been widely used in indoor location-based services. In the conventional fingerprinting method, as many APs as possible are used to increase the accuracy of location estimation. In another study, a part of APs having the strongest RSSI signal intensity are selected and used to reduce the time spent for positioning. However, it does not reflect the influence of RSSI occurred from the changes of the surrounding environments such as human movement or moving obstacles in a real environment. The environmental changes may cause the difference between the predicted RSSI signal strength value and the measured value, and thus occur an unpredictable error in the position estimation. Therefore, in order to mitigate the error caused by environmental factors, it is necessary to select APs suitable for indoor positioning estimation considering the changes in the surrounding environments. In this paper, we propose a method to select stable APs considering the influence of surrounding environments and derive a suitable positioning algorithm. In addition, we compare and analyze the performance of the proposed method with that of the existing AP selection methods through experiments.

Today, technique for precisely positioning vehicles is very important in C-ITS(Cooperative Intelligent Transport System), Self-Driving Car and other information technology relating to transportation. Though the most popular technology for vehicle positioning is the GPS, its accuracy is not reliable because of large delay caused by multipath effect, which is very bad for realtime traffic application. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed the Vision-Based High Accuracy Vehicle Positioning Technology. At the first step of proposed algorithm, the ROI is set up for road area and the vehicles detection. Then, center and four corners points of found vehicles on the road are determined. Lastly, these points are converted into aerial view map using homography matrix. By analyzing performance of algorithm, we find out that this technique has high accuracy with average error of result is less than about 20cm and the maximum value is not exceed 44.72cm. In addition, it is confirmed that the process of this algorithm is fast enough for real-time positioning at the $22-25_{FPS}$.

The study is the open area keeping a few visible satellites and the urban area covered with the high building, an electric pole were chosen for evaluation of accuracy of satellite positioning. First, suggest the validity of RTK-GPS, RTK-GPS/GLONASS and compared the accuracy with that of the classical surveying method. As a result. In urban area, in case of real time kinematic positioning when compare between the method combined by GPS/GLONASS and by GPS alone the result of GPS/GLONASS - combination more excellent. And in open ana positioning combined GPS/GLONASS was more excellent than GPS alone in both real time differential and real time kinematic. So, RTK-GPS, RTK-GPS/GLONASS contribute to the digital mapping of Basic map and the existed map necessary for the building of PBLIS to the computerization of cadastral map in the effectiveness in time and in cost and hereafter the combined GPS/TS is expected to contribute to the development of NGIS, Re-investigation of a land register, the execution drawing on site.

In an indoor localization method taking the lateration-based approach, the distance between a target and an AP (Anchor Point) is estimated using RSS (Received Signal Strength) measurements. Since the characteristics of a radio signal randomly vary in time and space, errors are unavoidable in distance estimation with measured RSS. Since the accuracy of distance estimation affects the localization accuracy of a lateration-based method, additional APs hearing a target have been used for localization in the literature. However, lots of experimental results show that the accuracy of a lateration-based method is improved by using carefully selected APs measuring the high quality RSSs which the distances estimated is close to the actual distances between nodes as reference APs, not using merely more APs. In this paper, we focus on selection method of reference AP and distance estimation method reflecting on environmental dynamics. We validate our method by implementing an indoor localization system and evaluating the accuracy of our method in the various experimental environments.

Positioning technology is performing important functions in augmented reality, smart factory, and autonomous driving. Among the positioning techniques, the positioning method using beacons has been considered a challenging task due to the deviation of the RSSI value. In this study, the position of a moving object is predicted by training a neural network that takes the RSSI value of the receiver as an input and the distance as the target value. To do this, the measured distance versus RSSI was collected. A neural network was introduced to create synthetic data from the collected actual data. Based on this neural network, the RSSI value versus distance was predicted. The real value of RSSI was obtained as a neural network for generating synthetic data, and based on this value, the coordinates of the object were estimated by learning a neural network that tracks the location of a terminal in a virtual environment.

Since January 2009, Seoul Metro Government(SMG) is operating own Network RTK Systems connecting four(4) GNSS Reference Stations which are installed inside Seoul Metro City area. SMG is currently providing VRS data service via wireless internet for Network-RTK and RINEX data observed from GNSS Reference Stations. This paper will discuss utilization of data available from SMG Network-RTK System for various applications, and present the test results on practicalities of Virtual RINEX data. For the utilization of data available from SMG Network- RTK system, 1)NTRIP data delivery of GNSS realtime observables streaming and converting to RINEX at receiving side, 2) monitoring deformation of bulky structures using GNSS observation were discussed. In addition to those discussion, 3) broadcasting VRS correction data for job site via radio modem after acquiring such correction data on-line using NTRIP based GNSS Internet Radio from SMG Network-RTK System were introduced. For the test results on practicalities of Virtual RINEX data, 1) the post-processing results of the GNSS observation data on a certain point with GNSS Reference Station data have been compared to the post-processing results of Virtual RINEX data on the same point generated from SMG Network-RTK System, and 2) VRS RTK positioning results for a certain point and post-processing results of Virtual RINEX data for the point were compared. The results showed only a few mm difference, and the high possibility for using Virtual RINEX data for post-processing applications.

We demonstrated positioning accuracy of iRTK system, which has been developed by Korea Astronomy Observatory, using a low-price GPS receiver. Each four different baseline positioning tests using the iRTK system, we certified 1-3 meters level positioning accuracy of the iRTK system. While the iRTK is similar to conventional RTK at coverage and accuracy, the iRTK positioning carried out from data processing center. And also, the iRTK system has no limit of data communication coverage because of using wire/wireless Internet. But the iRTK system has a weakness of short available coverage within 5km. Therefore we discussed a plan to adopt VRS (Virtual Reference System) as completion of the iRTK system preparing nation-wide iRTK service in near future.

RTLS used to track the location of object or person in real time. However, if there are a lot of tags and readers, the conventional single RTLS server may fail to estimate location of tags. And if the server cannot receive the tags signal due to pass-loss or NLOS from more than three readers, the server fail to estimate location of tags. In this paper, we propose a special reader which embeds RTLS location engine for distributed RTLS. And by using multi-directional antenna, alleviating multi-path effect and allowing estimate tag's location only using two readers. We also implement the system, we can reduce server packet 16times and get the all results of location estimate in single second. We achieved the location error within 1m.
