A GPS sensor is widely used in many areas such as navigation, or air traffic control. Particularly, the car navigation system is equipped with GPS sensor for locational information. However, when a car goes through a tunnel, forest, or built-up area, GPS receiver cannot get the enough number of satellite signals. In these situations, a GPS receiver does not reliably work. A GPS error can be formulated by sum of bias error and sensor noise. The bias error is generated by the geometric arrangement of satellites and sensor noise error is generated by the corrupted signal noise of receiver. To enhance GPS sensor accuracy, these two kinds of errors have to be removed. In this research, we make the road database which includes Road Database File (RDF). RDF includes road information such as road connection, road condition, coordinates of roads, lanes, and stop lines. Among the information, we use the stop line coordinates as a feature point to correct the GPS bias error. If the relative distance and angle of a stop line from a car are detected and the detected stop line can be associated with one of the stop lines in the database, we can measure the bias error and correct the car's location. To remove the other GPS error, sensor noise, the Kalman filter algorithm is used. Additionally, using the RDF, we can get the information of the road where the car belongs. It can be used to help the GPS correction algorithm or to give useful information to users.

We investigated the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) tolerance for 40Gb/s non-return to zero (NRZ), duobinary NRZ, return to zero (RZ), carrier-suppressed RZ (CS-RZ), and duobinary-carrier-suppressed RZ (DCS-RZ) modulation formats with a forward error correction (FEC) coding. The power penalty has been calculated as a measure of the system performance due to PMD. After comparison of the PMD tolerance of various modulation formats, our results suggest that RZ signals have the best tolerance against the effect of first-order PMD only. The duobinary NRZ modulation format is most resilient to PMD when both first- and second-order PMD are considered. However, the duobinary NRZ modulation format is the most sensitive to the incident angle of the input signal to a fiber axis in the presence of first- and second-order PMD, leading to incident angle-dependent power penalty. The coding gain by FEC can cope with the power penalties induced by first- and second-order PMD up to a DGD value of 16ps.

This paper presents the 3-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis method and correction of sensor distortion that is used by a motor speed sensor. The magnetic sensors are being expanded due to lower price than the other speed sensors such as resolver and encoder. Magnetic sensor generates sine and cosine waves when the motor rotates. However, the sine and cosine signals are distorted due to magnetic noise, which makes the angle error of the sensor, generated near by the Hall element. This paper defines an optimal design variables by using the Taguchi method to minimize output distortion of the magnetic sensor and permanent magnet. To enhance reliability of the magnetic position sensor from sensitivity error, assembly amplitude mismatch and the electrical angle, 3-Dimensional electromagnetic finite element method and correction algorithm errors were performed in due of the magnetic sensor in order to improve the quality of the initial production model.

스마트폰을 이용한 실내 위치 추적 기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 스마트폰의 이동 경로를 지도에 표시하기 위해서는 대부분의 스마트폰에 내장되어 있는 지자기 센서를 이용하여 방위각을 추정해야 하는데, 주변의 쇠구조물에 의한 자기장의 왜곡과 스마트폰의 기울어짐 때문에 방위각 추정 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 정지 상태에서의 지자기 센서의 보정 방법과 스마트폰의 기울어짐에 대한 보정 방법을 제시한다. 또한 스마트폰에서 자북과 도북의 차이에 의한 방위각 오차를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다.

두부방사선규격사진은 작은 크기의 방사선원에서 방사상으로 방사선이 퍼져나감으로써 피사체의 확대와 왜곡이 불가피하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 두 장의 방사선사진을 서로 직각으로 촬영한 후 방사선의 기하학적 성질을 이용하여 좌우 우각부간 폭경을 계산할 경우 실제 폭경의 산출이 가능한지 알아보고자 시행되었다. 성인 40명을 연구대상으로 하여 두부자세재현기를 이용하여 측모두부방사선사진과 정모두부방사선사진을 서로 직각으로 촬영한 후 측모사진과 정모사진에서의 확대율을 이용하여 실제 우각부 폭경을 산출한 다음 계측치 및 산출치를 3차원 CT영상에서의 계측치와 각각 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 정모두부방사선사진에서 우각부 폭경은 작게는 7.92mm 크게는 11.31mm까지. 평균 9.10mm의 확대를 보였다. 측모 및 정모두부방사선사진을 이용하여 얻은 우각부 폭경 보정치를 3차원 CT영상에서 얻은 기준치와 비교한 결과 평균 0.14mm의 작은 오차를 보였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 측모 및 정모두부방사선사진 촬영 시 두부자세재현기를 이용하여 서로 직각으로 촬영할 경우 실제 우각부 폭경을 계산을 통해 산출할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 한편 이부편위량과 보정오차는 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 보이지 않아 안면비대칭이 심한 경우에도 본 보정 방법이 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine the effect of physical changes on MR temperature imaging at 7.0T and to examine proton-resonance-frequency related changes of MR phase images and T1 related changes of MR magnitude images, which are obtained for MR thermometry at various magnetic field strengths. Materials and Methods: An MR-compatible capacitive-coupled radio-frequency hyperthermia system was implemented for heating a phantom and swine muscle tissue, which can be used for both 7.0T and 3.0T MRI. To determine the effect of flip angle correction on T1-based MR thermometry, proton resonance frequency, apparent T1, actual flip angle, and T1 images were obtained. For this purpose, three types of imaging sequences are used, namely, T1-weighted fast field echo with variable flip angle method, dual repetition time method, and variable flip angle method with radio-frequency field nonuniformity correction. Results: Signal-to-noise ratio of the proton resonance frequency shift-based temperature images obtained at 7.0T was five-fold higher than that at 3.0T. The T1 value increases with increasing temperature at both 3.0T and 7.0T. However, temperature measurement using apparent T1-based MR thermometry results in bias and error because B1 varies with temperature. After correcting for the effect of B1 changes, our experimental results confirmed that the calculated T1 increases with increasing temperature both at 3.0T and 7.0T. Conclusion: This study suggests that the temperature-induced flip angle variations need to be considered for accurate temperature measurements in T1-based MR thermometry.

The hole-drilling method makes a little hole through the metal surface that has residual stress and measures the relieved stress with a strain gage. It is used widely in measuring the residual stress of surfaces. In this method, the inclined hole is one of the source of error. This paper presents a finite element analysis of influence of the inclined hole for the uniaxial residual stress field. The stress differences between measured and applied residual stress increase proportionally to inclined angle of the hole. The correction equations which easily obtain the residual stress taking account of the inclined angle and direction are derived. The measurement error of stress due to the inclined hole can be reduced to around 1% through this study.

A new position correction method using four fiducials as reference points was developed and examined. It was aimed to calibrate nonlinear deformation by numerous error sources. A correlation for correction was derived from the geometric relationship between four fiducials and chip position. Compared with three points method, it exhibited more accurate correction, especially for inner area of a quadrilateral composed of four fiducial points. Its accuracy was found to be increased as fiducials moves outwardly within a printed circuit board (PCB) and/or as they form more rectangle-like shape As for arbitrarily nonlinear deformation, this method can be applied using more than five fiducials. In this case, local-area calibration is carried out by sectioning a board area into several rectangular are as.

광각 카메라 시스템으로 획득한 전천 영상을 이용한 구름 관측은 21세기 초반부터 다양한 연구가 진행되었으나 목측을 완벽하게 대체할 자동 관측 시스템은 얻지 못하였다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 목측의 자동화를 목표로 제안한 알고리즘의 최종 단계인 구름 관측의 정량화를 검증하기 위하여 전천 영상과 보정 영상의 구름 분포를 비교 분석하였다. 그 이유는 구름은 종류에 따라 일정한 높이에 형성되고, 전천 영상은 망막의 영상처럼 렌즈의 중심부는 확대되고 가장자리는 축소되지만, 인간의 학습 능력과 공간 인지 능력 등이 구름 관측에 미치는 영향은 알려진 바가 없기 때문이다. 본 연구 결과는 전천 영상과 보정 영상의 구름 관측 오차가 평균은 1.23%였다. 따라서 10분위 또는 10단계로 관측되는 목측과 비교하면 보정에 의한 오차는 관측량의 1.23%로 목측의 허용 오차보다 매우 적을뿐만 아니라 인간의 실수를 포함하지 않으므로 정확히 정량화된 데이터의 수집이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 보정에 의한 운량의 변화가 미미하므로, 불필요한 보정 단계를 생략하고 보정 이전의 전천 영상에서 운량을 관측하여도 정확한 관측치를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the normal distal tibial articular surface angle in coronal plane in Koreans. This would be helpful as the basic data for ankle reconstruction after trauma or deformity correction. Materials and Methods: Weight bearing anteroposterior radiographs of 123 normal ankles were reviewed. A line parallel to the shaft of the tibia was made. Another line was drawn parallel to the articular surface of the distal tibia. The superolateral angle that subtended by these two lines was measured. Results: There were 72 males and 51 females. The mean age overall was 35.7 years old. The mean age for males was 31.9 ($28{\sim}36$) years old. The mean age for females was 41.1 ($37{\sim}45$) years old. The mean distal tibial articular surface angle was $90.8^{\circ}$. The mean distal tibial articular surface angle for males was $91.5^{\circ}$ and for females $89.9^{\circ}$. Conclusion: The mean distal tibial articular surface angle in coronal plane for Koreans is $90.8^{\circ}$. We can avoid the error of the varization at the ankle alignment when the correction was performed vertical or minimal valgus to tibia tuberosity axis in Korean people.
