We have developed the 45-Van system in order to maximize the interoperability of spatial data in 45(GNSS, SIIS, GIS, ITS) by sharing and providing spatial data of remote site. The 4S-Van system enables to acquisition and production of information for GIS database and the accurate position information by combining and connecting GPS/IMU, laser, CCD(charged-coupled device) image, and wireless telecommunication technology. That is, 4S-Van system measures its position and attitude using integrated GPS/IMU and takes two photographs of the front scene by two CCD cameras, analyzes position of objects by space intersection method, and constructs database that has compatibility with existing vector database system. Furthermore, infrared camera and wireless communication technique can be applied to the 4S-Van for a variety of applications. In this paper, we discuss the design and functions of 4S-Van that is equipped with GPS, CCD camera, and IMU.

본 논문에서는 4S-Van에 의하여 수집된 동영상으로부터 공간정보, 특히 도로 표지판을 구축하고 갱신할 수 있는 변화탐지 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 4S-Van은 차량의 위치/자세정보와 영상을 동기화하여 취득하고 이로부터 공간객체의 위치정보를 구축하는 시스템이다. 4S-Van에서 취득한 영상으로부터 표지판을 구축하고 갱신하는 작업은 수동 입력에 의한 많은 시간을 필요로 하며, 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 영상으로부터 표지판 정보를 구축 및 갱신할 때 수동 입력을 최소화하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 시스템을 구축한 결과를 제시한다. 4S-Van 데이터로부터 객체의 위치를 결정하는 사진측량기술과 영상처리기술을 결합하여 공간객체를 인식할 수 있는 기술을 제안하였으며, 새로 취득된 동영상에서 객체의 변화를 탐지함으로써 해당객체의 정보만을 새로 구축할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 시스템은 표지판 정보의 효율적 구축과 갱신을 지원할 수 있다.

The design of Graphic Information System(GIS) in various applications is suffering from the difficulty of data acquisition, which is labor-intensive and time consuming. In order to provide the spatial data rapidly and accurately, 4S-Van, a prototype mobile mapping system, has been developed. The 4S-Van consists of 1)Global Positioning System(GPS), Inertial Navigation System(INS) for estimating the geographic position and attitude of the moving van, i.e.,(x, y, z) and the direction of the Van, 2) Charge Coupled Device(CCD) camera and laser scanner for capturing images and for measuring depth from geographic objects, and 3) External Synchronization Device(ESD) and industrial PC for synchronizing data from GPS/INS/CCD camera and for storing the data. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of the proto-Dpe 4S-Van system for spatial data acquisition for various GIS applications.

In this study, we developed low cost INS and (D)GPS integration for continuous attitude and position and utilized it for the determination of exterior orientation parameters of image sensors which are equipped in 4S-Van. During initial alignment process, the heading information was extracted from twin GPS and fine alignment with Kalman filter was performed for the determination of roll and pitch. Simulation and van test were performed for the performance analysis. Based on simulation result, roll and pitch error is around 0.01-0.03 degrees and yaw error around 0.1 degrees. Based on van test, position error in linear road is around 10 cm and curve around 1 m. Using direct georeferencing method, the image sensor's orientation and position information can be acquired directly from (D)GPS/INS integration. 4S-Van achieved 3D spatial data using (D)GPS/INS and image data can be applied to the spatial data integration and application such as contemporary digital map update, road facility management and Video GIS DB.

Van Hamme's (G.2) supercongruence modulo p⁴ for primes p ≡ 3 (mod 4) and p > 3 was first established by Swisher. A q-analogue of this supercognruence was implicitly given by the first author and Schlosser. In this paper, we present a new q-analogue of Van Hamme's (G.2) supercongruence for p ≡ 3 (mod 4).

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the precision of 3D positioning using 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective. The 3D calibration target was built over building facade outside and was captured separately by two CCD cameras installed in 4S-Van. After then, we determined the interior orientation parameter for each CCD camera through self-calibration technique. With the interior orientation parameter computed, the bundle adjustment was performed to obtain the exterior orientation parameters simultaneously for two CCD cameras using calibration target image and object coordinates. The reverse lens distortion coefficients were computed and acquired by least squares method so as to introduce lens distortion into epipolar line. It was shown that the reverse lens distortion coefficients could transform image coordinates into lens distorted image coordinates within about 0.5 pixel. The proposed semi-automatic matching scheme incorporated with lens distorted epipolar line was implemented with scene images captured by 4S-Van in moving. The experimental results showed that the precision of 3D positioning from 4S-Van images in photograrmmetric perspective is within 2cm in the range of 20m from the camera.

Contrary to the traditional text-based information, 4S(GIS,GNSS,SIIS,ITS) information can contribute to the citizen's welfare in upcoming era. Recently, GSIS(Geo-Spatial Information System) has been applied and stressed out in various fields. As analyzed the data from GSIS arena, the position information of objects and targets is crucial and critical. Therefore, several methods of getting and knowing position are proposed and developed. From this perspective, Position collection and processing are the heart of 4S technology. We develop 4S-Van that enables real-time acquisition of position and attribute information and accurate image data in remote site. In this study, the configuration of 4S-Van equipped with GPS, INS, CCD and eye-safe laser scanner is shown and the merits of DGPS/INS integration approach for geo-referencing is briefly discussed. The algorithm of DGPS/INS integration fur determination of six parameters of motion is eccential in the 4S-Van to avoid or simplify the complicated computation such as photogrammetric triangulation. 4S-Van has the application of Laser-Mobile Mapping System for three-dimensional data acquisition that merges the texture information from CCD camera. The technique is also applied in the fields of virtual reality, car navigation, computer games, planning and management, city transportation, mobile communication, etc.

This study was carried out in order to test unsaturated hydraulic conductivity estimation of van Genuchten's and Campbell's models using one-step outflow method through Tempe pressure cell. The undisturbed soil cores (columns) were taken from Ap1, B1 and C horizons of Songjeong series (the fine loamy, mesic family of Typic Hapludults). After the saturated hydraulic conductivity Ks of the cores was determined by constant head method, water outflow rate and retentivity of cores were measured in Tempe pressure cell. Fitted curves by models accorded to measured data except for both end of pressure range. In near-saturated condition, measured water retention characteristics showed a relatively better fitness with Campbell's model than van Genuchten's. The soil unsaturated conductivity estimated by Campbell's model was higher than by van Genuchten's. In Ap1 and B1 horizon, the soil unsaturated conductivities obtained by one-step outflow method went between van Genuchten's and Campbell's hydraulic functions, slightly closer to van Genuchten's. In C horizon, van Genuchten's model had better fitness with the one-step outflow data. Consequently, van Genuchten's model generally had better fitness with measured hydraulic conductivity than Campbell's model at the soil water potential range of -10~-75 kPa, especially in C1 horizon. In near-saturated condition, Campbell's model could be thought as relatively accurate hydraulic model, because of the better fitness of Campbell's model with soil water retention data than van Genuchten's model.

16 chicken isolates and four clinical isolates of VanB-vanA incongruent vancomycinresistant Enterococcus faecium strains without vanS were isolated in 1999. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed only a peripheral relationship between the chicken isolates and clinical isolates, but suggested clonal spread in the chicken isolates.
