  • 해빙은 지구의 태양에너지 흡수량 및 대기-해양간 열과 물질 교환을 조절함으로써 기후조절자의 역할을 하며 그 생성, 이동, 소멸은 인공위성에 의해 주기적으로 모니터링 되고 있다. 그러나 수동마이크로파방사계 관측을 중심으로 한 저해상 산출물은 해빙 표면이 빠르게 변하는 여름철에 정확도가 크게 떨어지며, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) 관측이 대체재로 떠오르고 있으나 그간의 연구는 주로 겨울철 해빙을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 이 연구에서는 SAR 영상과 global positioning system (GPS) 추적기를 이용하여 해빙의 거칠기, 높낮이, 구조 등 표면 상태 변화가 심한 늦여름~초가을 시기의 해빙 이동 추적 기술을 평가, 분석하였다. 그 결과 겨울철보다는 관측 불확실성이 증가하나 GPS 실측치와의 상관관계는 0.98로 우수했으며, 해빙 농도 50% 이상인 경우에 해빙 농도와 적용 알고리즘의 산출 성능은 상관관계 0.59로 서로 비례하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 논문에서는 이진 옵셋 반송파 (binary offset carrier: BOC) 신호의 추적 성능 향상을 위한 비모호 상관함수를 제안한다. 구체적으로는 BOC 신호의 부반송파를 여러 개의 펄스가 존재하는 형태로 해석하고, BOC 신호의 자기상관함수를 여러 개의 부분상관함수들의 합으로 해석한다. 이후 두 개의 부분상관함수를 조합하여 새로운 두개의 부상관함수를 생성하고, 부상관함수와 부분상관함수의 조합을 통하여 폭을 조절할 수 있으며 주변 첨두를 가지지 않는 비모호 상관함수를 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 신호 추적에 제안한 상관함수를 이용한 경우 기존의 상관함수들을 이용한 경우에 비해 더욱 향상된 추적 오류 표준편차를 가지는 것을 확인한다.

  • Safety is a big issue in the construction sites. For safe and secure management, tracking locations of construction resources such as labors, materials, machineries, vehicles and so on is important. The materials, machineries and vehicles could be controlled by computer, whereas the movement of labors does not have fixed pattern. So, the location and movement of labors need to be monitored continuously for safety. In general, Global Positioning System(GPS) is an opt solution to obtain the location information in outside environments. But it cannot be used for indoor locations as it requires a clear Line-Of-Sight(LOS) to satellites Therefore, indoor location monitoring system could be a convenient alternative for environments such as tunnel and indoor building construction sites. This paper presents a case study to investigate feasibility of Wi-Fi based indoor location monitoring system in construction site. The system is developed by using fingerprint map of gathering Received Signal Strength Indication(RSSI) from each Access Point(AP). The signal information is gathered by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, which are attached on a helmet of labors to track their locations, and is sent to server computer. Experiments were conducted in a shield tunnel construction site at Guangzhou, China. This study consists of three phases as follows: First, we have a tracking test in entrance area of tunnel construction site. This experiment was performed to find the effective geometry of APs installation. The geometry of APs installation was changed for finding effective locations, and the experiment was performed using one and more tags. Second, APs were separated into two groups, and they were connected with LAN cable in tunnel construction site. The purpose of this experiment was to check the validity of group separating strategy. One group was installed around the entrance and the other one was installed inside the tunnel. Finally, we installed the system inner area of tunnel, boring machine area, and checked the performance with varying conditions (the presence of obstacles such as train, worker, and so on). Accuracy of this study was calculated from the data, which was collected at some known points. Experimental results showed that WiFi-based indoor location system has a level of accuracy of a few meters in tunnel construction site. From the results, it is inferred that the location tracking system can track the approximate location of labors in the construction site. It is able to alert the labors when they are closer to dangerous zones like poisonous region or cave-in..

  • Under partial shading conditions (PSCs), multiple maximums may be exhibited on the P-U curve of string inverter photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under such conditions, heuristic methods are invalid for extracting a global maximum power point (GMPP); intelligent algorithms are time-consuming; and model-based methods are complex and costly. To overcome these shortcomings, a novel hybrid MPPT (MPF-IP&O) based on a model-based peak forecasting (MPF) method and an improved perturbation and observation (IP&O) method is proposed. The MPF considers the influence of temperature and does not require solar radiation measurements. In addition, it can forecast all of the peak values of the PV string without complex computation under PSCs, and it can determine the candidate GMPP after a comparison. Hence, the MPF narrows the searching range tremendously and accelerates the convergence to the GMPP. Additionally, the IP&O with a successive approximation strategy searches for the real GMPP in the neighborhood of the candidate one, which can significantly enhance the tracking efficiency. Finally, simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method has a higher tracking speed and accuracy than the perturbation and observation (P&O) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods under PSCs.

  • This paper is concerned with a motion control of a manipulator under parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. The parametric uncertainties are regarded as internally generated disturbances in the manipulator. Based on this idea, we formulate a model reference control problem with desired disturbance attenuation. The solution of this control problem not only reduces the worst-case effect on tracking error due to internal and external disturbances (combined disturbances) as much as possible, but also achieve optimal tracking when perturbations are absent. In order to solve the control problem which is formulated in this paper we reduce it to a constrained minmax cost control problem. A differential game theory is used to treat this constrained minmax cost control problem. The differential game theory leads to a sufficient condition for the global solvability of the model reference control problem with desired disturbance attenuation.

  • The East Korean Warm Current is known as an anticyclonic circulation in the Ulreung Basin in the southwestern East Sea of Korea. This circulation was approximately estimated by dynamic methods based on the oceanographic observation and remote sensing data. In this study, the existence of circulation in the anticyclonic region of East Korean Warm Current(Tsushima current) in early summer was directly measured by drogue tracking using a global positioning system. At the same time, the velocity was calculated by dynamic method and compared using data collected by remote sensing. As results, these values are shown to be nearly the same, and an anticyclonic circulation was found around Ulreungdo-Tokto. The maximum northward and southward flow speed was deduced to be around 0.6 and one knot, respectively.

  • This paper proposes a self tuning fuzzy inference method by the genetic algorithm in the fuzzy-sliding mode control for a robot. Using this method, the number of inference rules and the shape of membership functions are optimized without an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. And, it is guaranteed that he selected solution become the global optimal solution by optimizing the Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. The trajectory tracking simulation and experiment of the polishing robot show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller provides reliable tracking performance during the polishing process.

  • Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under partial shading condition (PSC) is a challenging process in the PV array system. The shaded PV panel makes different peak patterns on the P-V curve and misguides the MPPT algorithm. Various kinds of global MPP (GMPP) detecting algorithms are used to overcome this issue. Generally, too frequent execution of GMPP tracking algorithm reduces the achievable power of PV panel due to time spent on the scanning process. Thus, partial shading detection algorithm is essential for efficient utilization of solar energy source. While conventional method only detects fast shading patterns, the proposed algorithm always shows superb performance regardless of the speed of partial shading patterns.

  • GPS(Global Positioning System)로 물체의 위치를 파악하여 유용한 정보로 사용하는 방법에 관한 연구와 기술개발은 최근 매우 활발하다. 그러나, 물체의 위치정보를 활용하는 시스템들은 대부분 위치데이터 전송을 위한 데이터통신망을 필요로 하는데 보통 상용통신망을 이용하거나 무선 랜을 이용하여 데이터통신망을 확보하게 된다. 이 두 가지 방식은 매월 사용료를 지불하거나 초기 투자비가 과다하다는 단점을 가지고 있어 단순히 구내물체위치추적을 위해선 많은 애로 사항을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구는 근거리무선통신(ZIGBEE, 424MHz, 블루투스, 900MHz)방식에 RF중계알고리즘을 적용한 저비용의 근거리 RF중계알고리즘에 의한 구내 위치추적시스템 구축에 관한 연구로서 특정지역 내에서 위치추적 솔루션을 필요로 하거나 유비쿼터스 환경에서 데이터 전송을 위한 데이터 통신망의 확보를 좀 더 쉽고 빠르게 저비용으로 확보하고자 하는 산업분야에 유연하게 적용 할 수 있다.
