Position estimation in indoor is significant problem, because GPS which is usually used for outdoor positioning cannot be utilized to indoor positioning. Sensor network can be a solution for the positioning. Recently, chirp spread spectrum(CSS) specified in IEEE 802.15.4a provides an ability of ranging. Based on the results of the ranging, a position of a CSS node can be calculated by using trilateration. In this case, Kalman filter can be applied to the trilateration because of the measurement noise. In this paper, we apply the unscented Kalman filter for the trilateration. The trilateration can be represented to a nonlinear state space equation, and the unscented Kalman filter is suitable for nonlinear state space equation. Through the experimental results. we show the accuracy of the estimated position.

To achieve the challenges of low-cost MEMS gyros for the precise self-localization of mobile robots, this paper examines an effective method of minimizing the drift on the heading angle that relies solely on integration of rate signals from a gyro. The main idea of the proposed approach is to use wavelet de-noising filter in order to reduce random noise which affects short-term performances. The proposed method was applied to Epson XV3500 gyro and the performances are verified by the comparisons with an existing commercial gyro module of vacuum cleaning robots.

This paper proposes a vision-based indoor localization method for autonomous vehicles. A single upward-facing digital camera was mounted on an autonomous vehicle and used as a vision sensor to identify artificial landmarks and any natural corner features. An interest point detector was used to find the natural features. Using an optical flow detection algorithm, information related to the direction and vehicle translation was defined. This information was used to track the vehicle movements. Random noise related to uneven light disrupted the calculation of the vehicle translation. Thus, to estimate the vehicle translation, a Kalman filter was used to calculate the vehicle position. These algorithms were tested on a vehicle in a real environment. The image processing method could recognize the landmarks precisely, while the Kalman filter algorithm could estimate the vehicle's position accurately. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed approaches can be implemented in practical situations.

In general, camera calibration is consisted of Indoor and Outdoor system. In case of Indoor system, it was optimized experimental condition. However, Outdoor system is different camera parameters for each image that is compared to equaled position. That is, it imply that camera parameters are varied by an environment with light or impulse noise, etc. So we make use of Image sequence because that they provide the more information for each image. In addition to, we use Corresponding line because it has less error than Corresponding point. Corresponding line has also the more information. In this paper, we suggest on-line camera calibration method using the time-varying Image sequence and Corresponding line. So we calculate camera parameters with intrinsic and extrinsic parameters in On-line system.

This paper has researched designing methods and characteristics of the indoor two-way CATV amplifier to amplify the weak signals and to separate the signals in the forward and the reverse channels in the cable system. It consists of diplex filters, equalizers, attenuators and amplifier modules. With the experimental results for frequency response, gain and slope controls, noise figures, return losses, distortion characteristics, we concluded that the operating capabilities of the amplifier developed in this research satisfy the design conditions.

Closed-loop transmit diversity is considered an important technique for improving the link budget in the third generation and future wireless communication standards. This paper proposes several transmit diversity algorithms suitable for small wireless terminals and presents performance assessment in terms of average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and outage improvement, convergence, and complexity of operations. The algorithms presented herein are verified using data from measured indoor channels with variable antenna spacing and the results explained using measured radiation patterns for a two-element array. It is shown that for a two-element array, the best among the proposed techniques provides SNR improvement of about 3 dB in a tightly spaced array (inter-element spacing of 0.1 wavelength at 2 GHz) typical of small wireless devices. Additionally, these techniques are shown to perform significantly better than a single antenna device in an indoor channel considering realistic values of latency and propagation errors.

Cricket is an excellent indoor location system and it can successfully solve many critical problems such as user privacy, decentralized administration. But in some practical applications, Cricket sometimes didn't provide location with enough accuracy, and was unable to determine when it was giving inaccurate information. For getting high-accuracy tracking performance from location data contaminated with noise, some types of filters are required. Kalman Filter is an efficient recursive filter that estimates the state of a dynamic system from a series of incomplete and noisy measurement. The filter is very powerful in the field of autonomous and assisted navigation. In this paper, we carry out comparative studies to validate the performance of the application of Kalman Filter to Cricket based localization system.

It appraises that use an indoor noise standard, a NC value which is a noise appraisal, a dB(A) value, a N value in foreign country because it doesn't yet ready an appraisal standard in domestic. Also, It appraises that the supply and drainage noise which could change water supply pressure, $4kg/cm^2,\;3kg/cm^2,\;2kg/cm^2,\;1.5kg/cm^2,\;1kg/cm^2$, bring about a noise and inquires how does noise level indicates according to each instruments. In case of a water supply pressure standard, $3kg/cm^2$, a C-605is $3{\sim}5dB(A)$ lower than another instruments in directly overhead stories. It appears that all of them is similar to level in directly under level except c-407(2)Analyzed the NC value, c-605is the lowest level, NC-50, of a water supply pressure, $4.0kg/cm^2$, c-407 is the highest level, NC-55.(3) In case of N value, which is one of water supply methods in Japan, it is the lowest level, N-55, of a water supply pressure, $4.0kg/cm^2$ same as NC value and C-407is the highest level, N-60.(4) In case of water supply that is likely to noise level, It appears 6dB(A) level gap each instruments, and C-605 is the lowest level, 63.9dB(A).

본 연구는 치과병원에서 진료 시 가동되는 소음이 환자들에게 피해를 줄 것으로 예상되어 진료 시(스케일링, 보존치료, 보철치료, 임플란트)에 소음도와 주파수 특성을 측정하여 NR곡선과 NRN을 이용한 실내소음 수준 및 PSIL을 이용하여 환자와 근무자 사이의 대화거리 분석을 실시하였다. 진료 시 소음레벨dB(A)의 범위는 69.3~81.5dB(A)이고 고주파성분(4K(Hz) 이상)을 나타내고 있으며 NR곡선에 의한 평가 결과 작업장의 소음기준을 훨씬 초과하는 수준이었으며 PSIL에 의한 환자와 치과병원근무자와의 대화가 이루어지는 거리는 1m 이내인 것으로 나타났다. 병원을 방문하는 환자들의 소음공포증을 해소시키고 환자와 근무자 사이의 만족스러운 대화가 가능한 여건 조성을 위하여 저소음 저진동 장비의 선택, ANC기술개발, 마스킹 효과, 흡음재 부착, 별도의 대화공간 확보 등의 다양한 대책을 수립하므로 치과의료 서비스 질 및 치과병원 경쟁력 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
