The distance in load parameter space to the closest saddle node bifurcation (CSNB) point provides the worst case power margin to voltage instability and the left eigenvector at CSNB identifies the most effective direction to steer the system to maximize voltage stability under contingency. This paper presents an improved direct method for computing CSNB: the order of nonlinear systems equations is reduced to about twice of the size of load flow equations in contrast to about three-times in Dobson's direct method; the initial guess for the direct method is computed efficiently and robustly by combined use of continuation power flow, a pair of multiple load flow solution with Lagrange interpolation. It is also shown that voltage stability may be enhanced significantly with shift of generations in the direction of the left eigenvector at CSNB.

This paper develops a method for reliably estimating an UEP(Unstable Equilibrium Point) which is located in the direction of SEP(Stable Equilibrium Point)'s moving as system load is getting heavy. As power systems are getting loaded heavily, the SEP which is an operable solution, and the UEP which is occurring voltage collapse, are moving toward each other linearly. The estimated UEP is used as a good initial guess for the real UEP. The proposed method is tested by 3 bus system and Stagg 5 bus system. It is demonstrated that the proposed method is very useful for assessing system voltage stability in the case of heavy loaded power system. The result solutions are often used in conjunction with energy methods and the stability margin.

The volumetric interferometer, which uses the interference of wavefronts emitted from two single mode fibers, measures the target position in 3-D. In this paper, we suggest a new calculation method which doesn't need a non-linear optimization and an initial guess. We find the relationship between the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials for a spherical wavefront and its center and reconstruct a spherical wavefront by using the Zernike polynomials from two interference fringes like a lateral shearing interferometer. The target position can be obtained from the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials of the reconstructed wavefront. We can get the target position in 3-D with $sub-{\mu}m$ errors in a simulation.

A two-step procedure for the application of non linear constrained programming to the limit analysis of rigid brick-block systems with no-tension and frictional interface is implemented and applied to various masonry structures. In the first step, a linear problem of programming, obtained by applying the upper bound theorem of limit analysis to systems of blocks interacting through no-tension and dilatant interfaces, is solved. The solution of this linear program is then employed as initial guess for a non linear and non convex problem of programming, obtained applying both the 'mechanism' and the 'equilibrium' approaches to the same block system with no-tension and frictional interfaces. The optimiser used is based on the sequential quadratic programming. The gradients of the constraints required are provided directly in symbolic form. In this way the program easily converges to the optimal solution even for systems with many degrees of freedom. Various numerical analyses showed that the procedure allows a reliable investigation of the ultimate behaviour of jointed structures, such as stone masonry structures, under statical load conditions.

Terra/Aqua MODIS의 적외관측 자료를 이용하여 동아시아 지역에서 물리적 방법과 split-window 방법으로 총가강수량을 산출하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 물리적 방법에서는 동아시아 지역에 대한 분석 예측 자료를 생산하는 RDAPS 자료를 알고리즘의 초기 추정치로 사용하였다. 이 과정에서 복사전달계산을 위해 빠르고 정확도가 높은 RTTOV-7 모델을 이용하였다. Split-window를 이용한 총가강수량 산출에서는 동아시아 지역의 라디오존데 관측자료를 훈련자료로 사용하여 밝기온도를 계산하였고, 이로부터 관측된 밝기온도로부터 총가강수량을 산출할 수 있는 회귀식을 도출하였다. 위의 두 알고리즘을 2004년 8월과 12월의 MODIS 적외 자료에 적용하여 산출한 결과를 해양에서는 DMSP SSM/I 결과와 육지에서는 라디오존데 관측 결과와 비교하여 검증하였고, 이를 바탕으로 총가강수량의 정확성에 영향을 미치는 요인과 산출과정에 중요한 물리과정을 분석하였다. 비교결과 RDAPS, MODIS, split-window 방법에 비해 물리적 방법을 이용한 총가강수량의 산출 정확성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 물리적 방법은 초기 추정치에 따라 산출결과가 상이하게 나타나는 단점을 가지고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 TIGR 자료와 같은 기후 평균값을 초기치로 적용함에 있어 주의가 요구된다. 이러한 원인으로 지표 부근의 수증기에 대한 정보 부족 등을 들 수 있다. 이러한 단점에도 불구하고 지표와 지형의 변화가 큰 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에서는 물리적 방법에 의한 총가강수량 산출의 효율성이 큰 것으로 사료된다.

A practical recursive linear robust estimation scheme is proposed for target localization in the sensor network which provides range difference of arrival (RDOA) measurements. In order to radically solve the known practical difficulties such as sensitivity for initial guess and heavy computational burden caused by intrinsic nonlinearity of the RDOA based target localization problem, an uncertain linear measurement model is newly derived. In the suggested problem setting, the target localization performance of the conventional linear estimation schemes might be severely degraded under the low SNR condition and be affected by the target position in the sensor network. This motivates us to devise a new sensor network localization algorithm within the framework of the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. Provided that the statistical information regarding RDOA measurements are available, the estimate of the proposition method shows the convergence in probability to the true target position. Through the computer simulations, the omnidirectional target localization performance and consistency of the proposed algorithm are compared to those of the existing ones. It is shown that the proposed method is more reliable than the total least squares method and the linear correction least squares method.

The position of a 3-dimensional(3D) point can be measured by using calibrated stereo camera. To obtain more accurate measurement ,more accurate camera calibration is required. There are many existing methods to calibrate camera. The simple linear methods are usually not accurate due to nonlinear lens distortion. The nonlinear methods are accurate more than linear method, but it increase computational cost and good initial guess is needed. The multi step methods need to know some camera parameters of used camera. Recent years, these explicit model based camera calibration work with the development of more precise camera models involving correction of lens distortion. But these explicit model based camera calibration have disadvantages. So implicit camera calibration methods have been derived. One of the popular implicit camera calibration method is to use neural network. In this paper, we propose implicit stereo camera calibration method for 3D reconstruction using support vector machine. SVM can learn the relationship between 3D coordinate and image coordinate, and it shows the robust property with the presence of noise and lens distortion, results of simulation are shown in section 4.

Kinematic calibration is a process whereby the actual values of geometric parameters are estimated so as to minimize the error in absolute positioning. Measuring all components of Cartesian posture, particularly the orientation, can be difficult. With partial pose measurements, all parameters may not be identifiable. This paper proposes a new device that can identify all kinematic parameters with partial pose measurements. Study is performed for a six degree-of-freedom fully parallel Hexa Slide manipulator. The device, however, is general and can be used for other parallel manipulators. The proposed device consists of a link with U joints on both sides and is equipped with a rotary sensor and a biaxial inclinometer. When attached between the base and the mobile platform, the device restricts the end-effector's motion to five degree-of-freedom and can measure position of the end-effector and one of its rotations. Numerical analyses of the identification Jacobian reveal that all parameters are identifiable. Computer simulations show that the identification is robust for the errors in the initial guess and the measurement noise. Intrinsic inaccuracies of the device can significantly deteriorate the calibration results. A measurement procedure is proposed and formulations of cost functions are discussed to prevent propagation of the inaccuracies to the calibration results.

To detect motions of bodies, we have discussed them with two viewpoints; one is a detection algorithm, and another is the hardware implementation. The former is to find small terms expansions for sine/cosine functions. We researched Maclaurin and optimum expansions, and moreover to reduce hardware amounts, revised the expansions. The expansions don't include divide calculations, and the error is within 0.01%. As for the former problem, there is another approach also; that is the cordic method. The method is based on the rotation of a vector on the complex plain. It is simple iterations and don't require large logic. We examined the precision and convergence of the method on C-simulations, and implemented on HDL. The later problem is to make FPGA within small gates. We considered approaches to eliminate a divider and to reduce the bit number of arithmetic. We researched Newton-Raphson's method to get reciprocal numbers. The higher-order expression shows rapid convergence and doesn't be affected by the initial guess. It is an excellent algorithm. Using them, we wish to design a detector, and are developing it on a FPGA.
