In this paper, an algorithm is suggested to detect an offset angle of the absolute rotor position sensor after the initial assembly of a PMSG. Unlike previous studies in a stationary state, this one is not designed to detect an electrical angle but rather the absolute position of the rotor is detected while operating the generator. Also,a position sensor, current sensors and voltage sensor were used to ensure reliability. This technique completes the detection of the sensor offset in two steps. In the first step, a zero-crossing of the EMF is measured using a voltage sensor to detect the electrical angle offset when the alternator is actuated by the engine. In the second step, a high frequency current is injected along the d-axis on-line during the control of the generation, eventually to obtain the inductance using a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform), and then to ultimately extract the final electrical angle offset through the comparison of the inductance magnitude. The suggested algorithm was validated with PSIM simulation and, furthermore, was tested with actual experiments on a dynamometer.

실내에서 이동로봇의 절대위치 측정을 위해서 초음파를 이용하는 초음파 위치측정 시스템이 많이 연구되고 있다. 이러한 초음파 위치측정 시스템들은 초음파의 혼신을 피하기 위해 순차 발신하는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 순차 발신으로 인해 이동로봇이 이동하는 경우에는 초음파의 수신위치가 변하므로 위치측정 정도가 떨어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수신시점에 따른 가중치를 적용하는 새로운 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘을 기존의 초음파위성시스템에 적용하여 개선된 초음파위성시스템을 구축하였다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘을 가진 개선된 초음파위성시스템의 위치측정 성능을 입증하였다.

본 연구는 터렛 서보 시스템에서 사용되는 고가의 절대형 엔코더를 대체하기 위해서 멀티-턴 가능한 센서리스 위치제어기를 구현하였다. 센서리스 제어를 위해서는 모터의 위치 정보가 필수적이다. 따라서, 터렛 서보시스템에서 사용되는 영구자석형 동기 전동기의 수학적 모델로부터 자속 추정기를 구성하였다. 자속 추정기로부터 회전자 자속을 계산하여 회전자의 속도와 위치 정보를 얻었다. 제로-크로싱 기법을 사용하여, 추정한 회전자 자속이 1회전 할 때마다 하나의 펄스를 생성하여 멀티-턴 횟수를 측정하였다. 모의실험과 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 유용함을 확인하였다.

This paper represents an absolute positioning system using a light navigation path for mobile robot. The absolute positioning system is composed of the projector unit which generates a laser beam using laser diode and mobile robot with the optical detector which has some optical sensors. The projector unit is fixed over the navigating plane of mobile robot to generate the light navigation path, and the optical detector located upper part of mobile robot detects the generated laser beam from the projector. The navigation of mobile robot is controlled by the micro-processor which compares the detected present position from the detector with the previously programmed navigation path. And experimental results show that our sensor system can be used for the absolute positioning system of the mobile robot.

Ubiquitous location based services, offer helpful services anytime and anywhere by using real-time location information of objects based on ubiquitous network. Particularly, autonomous mobile robots can be a solution for various applications related to ubiquitous location based services, e.g. in hospitals, for cleaning, at airports or railway stations. However, a meaningful and still unsolved problem for most applications is to develop a robust and cheap positioning system. A typical example of position measurements is dead reckoning that is well known for providing a good short-term accuracy, being inexpensive and allowing very high sampling rates. However, the measurement always has some accumulated errors because the fundamental idea of dead reckoning is the integration of incremental motion information over time. The other hand, a localization system using RFID offers absolute position of robots regardless of elapsed time. We construct an absolute positioning system based on RFID and investigate how localization technique can be enhanced by RFID through experiment to measure the location of a mobile robot. Tags are placed on the floor at 5cm intervals in the shape of square in an arbitrary space and the accuracy of position measurement is investigated . To reduce the error and the variation of error, a weighting function based on Gaussian function is used. Different weighting values are applied to position data of tags since weighting values follow Gaussian function.

본 논문은 3D 위치 정보를 산출하기 위한 기압고도계 및 기준국을 이용한 절대 고도 측정 정확도 향상에 관한 연구이다. GPS와 같은 위성 항법 시스템이 신뢰성이 있는 절대 고도를 제공하지 못하는 점과 기압 고도계가 변화하는 대기압의 특성상 절대 고도 정보를 제공하지 못한다는 문제점을 인식하고, 이를 개선하기 위해 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법을 검증하기 위해 RTK를 활용한 기준국을 지정하고 시중에 판매하는 압력 센서 및 EVK 단말기를 활용하였으며, 실내 외에서의 사람의 이동으로 인한 고도 변화 실험과 차량을 이용한 이동 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 이 논문의 결과는 기준국을 이용하는 기존의 2D 측위 시스템을 간단히 3D 측위 시스템으로 확장할 수 있는 저가 솔루션을 제공할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, absolute and differential eddy current signals from various defects in the steam generator tube are numerically predicted and their signal slope characteristics are investigated. The signal changes due to frequency increase are also observed. After studying signal patterns from various defects and frequencies, the analysis of mixed defect signals affected by the presence of a ferromagnetic support plate is attempted. For the signal prediction, axisymmetric finite element modeling is used and this leads us to the slope angle analysis of the signal. Results show that differential signals are useful for locating the position of a defect under the support plate, while absolute signals are easy to presume and interpret even though the effect of support plate is mixed. Combined use of these two types of signals will help us accomplish a more reliable inspection.

Methods for absolute depth estimation have received lots of interest, and most algorithms are concerned about how to minimize the difference between an input defocused image and an estimated defocused image. These approaches may increase the complexity of the algorithms to calculate the defocused image from the estimation of the focused image. In this paper, we present a new method to recover depth of scene based on a sharpness-assessment algorithm. The proposed algorithm estimates the depth of scene by calculating the sharpness of deconvolved images with a specific point-spread function (PSF). While most depth estimation studies evaluate depth of the scene only behind a focal plane, the proposed method evaluates a broad depth range both nearer and farther than the focal plane. This is accomplished using an asymmetric aperture, so the PSF at a position nearer than the focal plane is different from that at a position farther than the focal plane. From the image taken with a focal plane of 160 cm, the depth of object over the broad range from 60 to 350 cm is estimated at 10 cm resolution. With an asymmetric aperture, we demonstrate the feasibility of the sharpness-assessment algorithm to recover absolute depth of scene from a single defocused image.

This paper proposes a new image sequence stabilization (ISS) scheme based on filtering of absolute frame positions. The proposed ISS scheme removes undesired motion effects in real-time, while preserving desired gross camera displacements. The well-known finite impulse response (FIR) filter is adopted for filtering. The proposed ISS scheme provides a filtered position and velocity with fine inherent properties. It is demonstrated that the filtered position is not affected by the constant velocity. It is also shown that the filtered velocity is separated from the position. Via numerical simulations, the performance of the proposed scheme is shown to be superior to the existing Kalman filtering scheme.
