  • 샘플링되지 않은 불확실한 이동객체의 위치값을 추정하기 위한 기존의 연구방범 중 가장 보편적으로 사용하고 있는 방법은 선형 보간법이다. 선형 보간법을 사용할 경우 샘플링 구간은 좁게하여 오차를 줄일 수 있고 계산 시간을 단축할 수 있지만, 연속적인 이동객체의 경로는 직선이라기 보다는 곡선으로 나타내어지므로 샘플링되지 않은 이동객체의 위치값에 대해 불확실한 위치정보를 사용자에게 반환하게 된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 샘플링된 이동객체의 위치값에 오차가 없다는 가정하에서 모든 위치점을 지나는 보간 다항식을 구해서 처리하는 선형 보간법 대신 이동객체의 위치값 자체의 오차범위까지 고려하는 다항회귀모형(polynomial regression model)을 이용한 이동객체의 불확실한 이동위치 추정방법을 제시한다. 다항회지모형은 이용할 경우 선형 보간법 보다 추정된 위치값에 대한 오차를 줄일 수 있으며, 이동객체의 과거 및 미래 위치값을 사용자에게 반환해 줄 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

  • In this paper we deal with visual servoing that can control a robot arm with a camera using information of images only, without estimating 3D position and rotation of the robot arm. Here it is assumed that the robot arm is calibrated and the camera is uncalibrated. We use a pinhole camera model as the camera one. The essential notion can be show, that is, epipolar geometry, epipole, epipolar equation, and epipolar constrain. These play an important role in designing visual servoing. For easy understanding of the proposed method we first show a design in case of the calibrated camera. The design is constructed by 4 steps and the directional motion of the robot arm is fixed only to a constant direction. This means that an estimated epipole denotes the direction, to which the robot arm translates in 3D space, on the image plane.

  • Human mobility estimation plays a key factor in a lot of promising applications including location-based recommendation systems, urban planning, and disease outbreak control. We study the human mobility estimation problem in the case where recent locations of a person-of-interest are unknown. Since matrix decomposition is used to perform latent semantic analysis of multi-dimensional data, we propose a human location estimation algorithm based on matrix factorization to reconstruct the human movement patterns through the use of information of persons with correlated movements. Specifically, the optimization problem which minimizes the difference between the reconstructed and actual movement data is first formulated. Then, the gradient descent algorithm is applied to adjust parameters which contribute to reconstructed mobility data. The experiment results show that the proposed framework can be used for the prediction of human location and achieves higher predictive accuracy than a baseline model.

  • In this paper, we investigate the patient fall prevention system to prevent the patient from falling out of the bed unintentionally on the bed of the bed. Patients stay in bed for many hours of hospitalization. During the hospitalization period, patients have low controllability of the body, as compared with normal persons, and fall due to intentional movements, resulting in a fall of the patient, can be a fatal threat to the patient. Therefore, an efficient fall prevention system is required. In this paper, the distance map to the patient is generated by the distance measuring sensor on the bed of the patient, and the risk is determined by estimating the position of the patient based on the distance map. As a result, when the distance map of the dangerous area is 150 mm or more, it is determined to be dangerous, and good results are obtained.

  • A new positioning technique for positioning of LTE base stations is proposed. The positioning information of the base station is absolutely necessary for model-based wireless positioning, and is required in some of the various merhodologies for estimating signals in an uncorrected area when construnting a database for fingerprinting-based positioning. Using the acquired location-based Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) information to estimate the location of the base station, it is impossible with the existing trilateration methods. Therefore, in this paper, a method using reference particles is proposed. Particles are randomly generated in the application area, and signal propagation modeling is performed assuming that a base station is located in each particle. Based on this, the errors of measurements are calculated. The particle group with the minimum measurement errors is selected, the position of the base station is estimated through weighted summation, and the signal propagation model of the corresponding base station is built at the same time. The performance of the proposed technology is verified using data acquired in Seocho-dong, Seoul.

  • The precise prediction of future position of satellite depends on the accurate determination of orbit, which is also helpful in performing orbit maneuvers and trajectory correction maneuvers. For estimating the orbit of satellite many methods are being used. Some of the conventional methods are based on (i) Differential Correction (DC) (ii) Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). In this paper, Differential Evolution (DE) is used to determine the orbit. Orbit Determination using DC and EKF requires some initial guess of the state vector to initiate the algorithm, whereas DE does not require an initial guess since a wide range of bounds for the design unknown variables (orbital elements) is sufficient. This technique is uniformly valid for all orbits viz. circular, elliptic or hyperbolic. Simulated observations have been used to demonstrate the performance of the method. The observations are generated by including random noise. The simulation model that generates the observations includes the perturbation due to non-spherical earth up to second zonal harmonic term.

  • In this paper, we propose an efficient method for estimating the number of people and their locations using multiple IR-UWB radar sensors. Using three IR-UWB radar sensors in the indoor space, the measured signal from the target is processed to remove the clutter using rejection methods. Then, to further remove the clutter and to determine the presence of the human, the time-frequency image representing the micro-Doppler is obtained and classified by a convolutional neural network. Finally, the system finds the number of human objects and estimates each position in a two-dimensional space. In experiments using the measured data, the system successfully estimated the location and number of individuals with a high accuracy ≈ 88.68 %.

  • Recently, ToA and TDoA estimation are favorable among all of estimation techniques because they have the best accuracy in estimating position. ToA and TDoA estimation are typical techniques based on time. So, it is important to have the time syncronization and offset between a target node and several reference nodes. If they don't have the time syncronization between a reference node and target node or have a time offset among reference nodes, the positioning error will increase due to the ranging error. The conventional positioning algorithm does not have a accurate device's position because ranging error is added the calc dation of the position. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method of ToA and TDoA ll increase due. We use MHP pulse that has orthogonal pulse instead of the existing pulse to transmit and receive pulses between a target node and reference nodes. We can estimate the target node's position by ToA and TDoA estimation to transmit and receive MHP pulses only once. When the proposed Hybrid method iteratively calculate the distance, we can select the ranging technique to have more accurate position. The simulation results confirm the enhancement of the Hybrid method.

  • It is very important to reduce the computational time in estimating the parameters of vision control algorithm for robot's position control in real time. Unfortunately, the batch estimation commonly used requires too murk computational time because it is iteration method. So, the batch estimation has difficulty for robot's position control in real time. On the other hand, the Extended Kalman Filtering(EKF) has many advantages to calculate the parameters of vision system in that it is a simple and efficient recursive procedures. Thus, this study is to develop the EKF algorithm for the robot's vision control in real time. The vision system model used in this study involves six parameters to account for the inner(orientation, focal length etc) and outer (the relative location between robot and camera) parameters of camera. Then, EKF has been first applied to estimate these parameters, and then with these estimated parameters, also to estimate the robot's joint angles used for robot's operation. finally, the practicality of vision control scheme based on the EKF has been experimentally verified by performing the robot's position control.

  • The 2015 national revised curriculum was notified officially the last year. The intent and direction of the revision caused more or less change for mathematical contents to be taught and is expected to cause a considerable change in math class. In the level of elementary school mathematics, it turned that several contents were deleted or moved to the upper grades because the revision focused especially both on reducing students' burden of learning and on fostering the mathematical key competences. This study aims to examine the relevance of the change through investigation of the national curriculums for elementary school mathematics since 1946. The mathematical contents to be analyzed in this study were mixed calculation of natural numbers, mixed calculation of fractions and decimal fractions, position and direction of objects, are/hectare and ton, the range of numbers and estimating, surface and volume of cylinders, pattern and correspondence, and direct/inverse proportionality, which were changed in any aspect relative to 2009 national revised curriculum. Based on the results of these analyses, the discussion will provide some suggestions for setting the direction of elementary mathematics curriculum.
