  • Purpose - This study analyzes how Hanssem, which ranks first in domestic market in the furniture industry, responds to the expansion of IKEA, a large overseas furniture maker, and investigates the recent strategic changes of Hanssem and IKEA. Research design, data, and methodology - As a research method, a general method of case studies, literature research, is carried out through academic research results, reports, articles, and statistics. In addition, methods such as field observation and interview with stakeholder were performed to collect in-depth understanding and information about the companies. Results - Along with its core competences, Hanssem has pursued strategic changes to compensate for its weaknesses. IKEA has also used a variety of strategies changes to match the situation in Korea. Conclusion - Both companies have properly balanced localization elements and standardization strategies that value the needs of local consumers. In particular, Hanssem has implemented various strategies based on its core competence in response to IKEA's strategy. In addition, Hanssem and IKEA are actively managing and have good performance not only in Korea but also in foreign markets.

  • 본 연구에서는 실내 환경에서 드론의 측위를 위한 마커 인식 및 검출 기술을 소개한다. 기존 실내 측위를 위한 기술인 Global Positioning System이나 Wi-Fi를 이용한 삼각측량 기법은 실내 환경에서 각각의 성질로 인하여 사용하기 어려운 점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 바코드와 마커 등의 객체를 드론의 카메라를 이용한 실시간 영상 전송을 통하여 검출하여 위치 정보를 획득하는 기술을 소개한다. 실험에서는 드론의 카메라를 통하여 실시간 전송된 영상에서 OpenCV V2.4.10을 통하여 객체를 검출하였고, 카메라와 객체 사이의 거리와 바코드 크기에 따른 2차원 바코드의 검출 여부를 보였으며 15*15cm의 2차원 바코드는 비교적 잘 인식하였으나 비교적 작은 11*11cm의 2차원 바코드는 거리가 멀어질 수록 인식이 힘들어지는 결과를 보였다.

  • By a SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) method, we get a map of an environment for autonomous navigation of a robot. In this case, we want to know how accurate the map is. Or we want to know which map is more accurate when different maps can be obtained by different SLAM methods. So, several methods for map comparison have been studied, but they have their own drawbacks. In this paper, we propose a new method which compares the accuracy or error of maps relatively and quantitatively. This method sets many corresponding points on both reference map and SLAM map, and computes the translational and rotational values of all corresponding points using least-squares solution. Analyzing the standard deviations of all translational and rotational values, we can know the error of two maps. This method can consider both local and global errors while other methods can deal with one of them, and this is verified by a series of simulations and real world experiments.

  • In this paper we propose a new method for modeling indoor environment with stereo camera and suggest a localization method for mobile robot navigation on the basis of it. From the viewpoint of easiness in map building and exclusion of artificiality, the main idea of this paper is that environment is represented as global topological map and each node has omni-directional metric and color information by using stereo camera and pan/tilt mechanism. We use the depth and color information itself in image pixel as feature for environmental abstraction. In addition, we use only the depth and color information at horizontal centerline in image, where optical axis is passing. The usefulness of this m...

  • This study illustrates the differences between the elasto-plastic cap model and Lade's model with Cosserat rotation through the analyses of two large-scale geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall tests that were brought to failure using a monotonically increasing surcharge pressure. The finite element analyses with Lade's model were able to reasonably simulate the large-scale plane strain laboratory tests. On average, the finite element analyses gave reasonably good agreement with the experimental results in terms of global performances and shear band occurrences. In contrast, the cap model was not able to simulate the development of shear banding in the tests. In both test simulations the cap model predicted failure loads that were substantially less than the measured ones.

  • In this paper, we propose a modified ORB-SLAM (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) for precise indoor navigation of a mobile robot. The exact posture and position estimation by the ORB-SLAM is not possible all the times for the indoor navigation of a mobile robot when there are not enough features in the environment. To overcome this shortcoming, additional IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and encoder sensors were installed and utilized to calibrate the ORB-SLAM. By fusing the global information acquired by the SLAM and the dynamic local location information of the IMU and the encoder sensors, the mobile robot can be obtained the precise navigation information in the indoor environment with few feature points. The superiority of the modified ORB-SLAM was verified to compared with the conventional algorithm by the real experiments of a mobile robot navigation in a corridor environment.

  • Autonomous Lane detection with vision is a difficult problem because of various road conditions, such as shadowy road surface, various light conditions, and the signs on the road. In this paper we propose a robust lane detection algorithm to overcome shadowy road problem using a statistical method. The algorithm is applied to the vision-based mobile robot system and the robot followed the lane with the lane following controller. In parallel with the lane following controller, the global position of the robot is estimated by the developed localization method to specify the locations where the lane is discontinued. The results of experiments, done in the region where the GPS measurement is unreliable, show good performance to detect and to follow the lane in complex conditions with shades, water marks, and so on.

  • 오랜 기간동안 메타데이터를 기반으로 한 데이터통합에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 기존 방법론들은 전역 뷰 또는 전역 스키마와 같은 초기 가이드라인을 구축하는데 많은 비용이 요구 된다는 단점이 있다. 이는 기존 연구들이 해당 도메인 특성들을 간과했기 때문이다. 예를 들어 과학 데이터의 경우 일반사용자들은 생물의 이름이나 모양 등과 같은 단순정보에 관심을 갖는 반면 과학자나 전문가들은 보다 상세하고 전문적인 데이터에 관심을 갖는다. 추가적으로 모든 데이터에 대한 초기 표준 가이드라인을 구축하는 것은 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 도메인 특성을 고려하여 점진적인 통합방법론(LOG : Localization-based Global metadata registry)을 제안한다.

  • In this paper we mainly study existence and regularity of mild solutions to the parabolic-elliptic system of drift-diffusion type with small initial data in Fourier-Besov spaces. To be more detailed, we will explain that global-in-time mild solutions are well-posed and Gevrey regular by means of multilinear singular integrals and Fourier localization argument. Furthermore, we can get time decay rate estimate of mild solutions in Fourier-Besov spaces.
