In this study, one-dimensional gamma ray source positions are estimated using a plastic scintillating optical fiber, two photon counters and via data processing with a machine learning algorithm. A nonlinear regression algorithm is used to construct a machine learning model for the position estimation of radioactive sources. The position estimation results of radioactive sources using machine learning are compared with the theoretical position estimation results based on the same measured data. Various tests at the source positions are conducted to determine the improvement in the accuracy of source position estimation. In addition, an evaluation is performed to compare the change in accuracy when varying the number of training datasets. The proposed one-dimensional gamma ray source position estimation system with plastic scintillating fiber using machine learning algorithm can be used as radioactive leakage scanners at disposal sites.

This paper describes how an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) can be employed to improve a speed estimation in a vector controlled induction motor drive. The system uses the ANN to estimate changes in the motor resistance, which enable the sensorless speed control method to work more accurately. Flux Observer is used for speed estimation in this system. Obviously the accuracy of the speed control of motor is dependent upon how well the parameters of the induction machine are known. These parameters vary with the operating conditions of the motor; both stator resistance(Rs) and rotor resistance(Rr) change with temperature, while the stator leakage inductance varies with load. This paper proposes a parameter compensation technique using artificial neural network for accurate speed estimation of induction motor and simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed scheme.

The power spectral density of a signal can be estimated most accurately by using a window with a narrow bandwidth and large sidelobe attenuation. Conventional windows generally control these characteristics by only one parameter, so there is a trade-off problem: if the bandwidth is reduced, the sidelobe attenuation is also reduced. To overcome this problem, we propose using a Butterworth window with two control parameters for power spectral density estimation and analyze its characteristics. Simulation results demonstrate that the sidelobe attenuation and the 3 dB bandwidth can be controlled independently. Thus, the trade-off problem between resolution and spectral leakage in the estimated power spectral density can be overcome.

This paper proposes a subband filtering technique to the MUSIC and the ESPRIT algorithm for estimating the magnitude and frequency of the harmonics of power signal. In proposed method, the input power signal is decomposed to the odd harmonics and the even harmonics respectively by the filter bank system. The amplitude and the frequency estimation of the decomposed harmonics are carried out using the MUSIC and the ESPRIT method. Subband filtering can reduce the autocorrelation matrix size of input data, and spectrum leakage between adjacent harmonics. Therefore, this subband technique has advantage in computational cost and estimation accuracy compared to fullband MUSIC and ESPRIT. To demonstrate the performance of the method, computer simulations are performed to the synthesized input signal, and experiment results are compared in subband and fullband cases.

To monitor the torque of an induction motor using current, the accurate identification of the motor parameters is very important. In this study, the motor parameters such as rotor resistance, stator and rotor leakage inductance, mutual inductance are estimated for torque monitoring and indirect vector control. Estimated parameters are used to monitor the torque of vector controlled induction motor without any speed measuring sensor. Stator current is measured to estimate the magnetizing current which is used to calculate flux linkage, rotor velocity and motor torque. From the experiments, the proposed method shows a good estimation of the motor parameters and torque under the normal rotational speed.

In this paper, the MFL (magnetic flux leakage) signals of complex defects on the underground gas pipeline are analyzed and their depths are estimated. Since closely-located defects (complex defects) affect each other, accelerate the progress of defection, and are finally combined to one (cluster), it's meaningful to differentiate complex defects from single defects by analyzing their characteristics. Various types of complex defects are characterized and analyzed by defining the safety distance for interference. 26 artificial defects are carved on the pipeline simulation facility (PSF) to analyze the characteristics of complex defect and demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed complex defect estimation. The proposed method shows average length error of 5.8 mm, average width error of 15.55 mm, and average depth error of 8.59%, respectively.

최근 정보 사회의 발전에 따라 컴퓨터와 같은 정보기기는 클럭(clock) 주파수가 수 기가헤르츠 이상 기능을 갖는 제품들이 많이 개발되고 있다. 이러한 전자 제품에서 발생하는 누설 전자파의 특성을 이용하여 신호 복원에 이용할 수 있다는 연구가 최근에 진행 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이처럼 미세하게 방사되는 모니터의 전자기파를 수신하여 영상복원을 하는 연구를 수행하였다. 일정거리에서 수신된 모니터 방사신호를 이용하여 영상복원을 하였으며, 해상도를 높이기 위해 다양한 영상복원 기법을 적용하였다. 우선 모니터의 화면 특성을 이해한 후, 화면 구성 원리에 따라 누설 전자파 신호를 이용해 모니터 화면을 복원하였다. 또한 좀 더 나은 성능을 위해 Wavelet transform과 필터를 적용해 잡음을 제거하였다. 실험 결과 누설 전자파 신호를 이용해 모니터 화면의 복원의 가능성을 확인하였고 wavelet transform과 필터를 적용하여 성능을 개선하였다.
