Currently, studies on autonomous driving are being actively conducted. Vehicle positioning techniques are very important in the autonomous driving area. Currently, the global positioning system (GPS) is the most widely used technology for vehicle positioning. Although technologies such as the inertial navigation system and vision are used in combination with GPS to enhance precision, there is a limitation in measuring the lane and position in shaded areas of GPS, like tunnels. To solve such problems, this paper presents the use of LED lighting for position estimation in GPS shadow areas. This paper presents simulations in the environment of three-lane tunnels with LEDs of different color temperatures, and the results show that position estimation is possible by the analyzing chromaticity of LED lights. To improve the precision of positioning, a fuzzy logic system is added to the location function in the literature [1]. The experimental results showed that the average error was 0.0619 cm, and verify that the performance of developed position estimation system is viable compared with previous works.

Although the previous information technologies had been used for the quick and accurate processing of work, At present, however, as the combination with the Internet, the IOT(Internet-of-Things) era in which the diverse pieces of information are collected and handled through the sensor networks is in progress. Among these application fields of the IoT, the indoors position identification technology has been developing in the direction of providing the position information in the buildings of which the lengths and the interiors are complicated and in the direction of providing the various pieces of information and others of the like to the nearby customers. In this paper, we proposed an indoors position identification system that detects the patrol positions of the prison officers in the correctional facilities and in the prisons by using the ultrasonic waves, that transmits these to the control system and the data gateway, and that transmits the detected data. The Indoors Positioning identification System is organized with the tags for recognizing the positions that transmit the ultrasonic signal, ultrasonic receiver and data gateway. And the indoors position information data were transmitted to the management system through the data gateway. We evaluated the transmission error, by changing the distance of the proposed system for location recognition tag and the receiver, As a result, we found out that, when the transmission distance was 10 cm or less, the errors occurred in the form of the distortions. And when it was 110 cm or more, the transmission errors occurred due to the propagation diminutions of the ultrasonic wave signals. And when the transmission distance was from 10 cm to 100 cm, it was shown that the proposed system was possible without any errors.

Geo-coding refers to the process of associating data with location information, and the system deals with geographic identifiers expressed as latitude and longitude or street addresses. Although many services have been launched, there still remains a problem for users to create geo-coded photo with manually labeling GPS(Global Positioning System) coordinate or synchronizing with separate devices. In this paper, we design and implement a geo-coding system which utilizes the time and location information embedded in digital photographs in order to automatically categorize a personal photo collection. An included GPS receiver labels a photograph with its corresponding GPS coordinates, and the position of the camera is automatically recorded into the photo image header at the moment of capture. The place and time where the photo was taken allows us to provide context metadata on the management and retrieval of information.

Recently, owing to the rapid progress of Telecommunication technology, the increase of wireless internet’s subscriber and diffusion of wireless device, LBS (Location Based Services) which take advantage of user's location information and receive information in concerning with user’s location to be essential services. Location Based Services are related the moving objects which change their locations through time. Therefore, to provide location-based services efficiently, it is required that an efficient system which could acquire, store, and query the large number of locations. In this paper, we design management system to insert and search a huge number of Moving Object based on Legacy Relational Database.

Accurate and low-cost sensor localization is a critical requirement for the deployment of wireless sensor networks in a wide variety of application. Sensor position is used for its data to be meaningful and for energy efficient data routing algorithm especially geographic routing. The previous works for sensor localization utilize global positioning system(GPS) or estimate unknown-location nodes position with help of some small reference nodes which know their position previously. However, the traditional localization techniques are not well suited in the senor network for the cost of sensors is too high. In this paper, we propose the sensor localization method with a mobile robot, which knows its position, moves through the sensing field along pre-scheduled path and gives position information to the unknown-location nodes through wireless channel to estimate their position. We suggest using the sensor position estimation method and an efficient mobility path model. To validate our method, we carried out a computer simulation, and observed that our technique achieved sensor localization more accurately and efficiently than the conventional one.

This paper describes a location tracking system to guide landing process of an Unmanned Helicopter(UMH) exploiting MIT Cricket nodes. For automatic landing of a UMH, a precise positioning system is indispensable. However, GPS(Global Positioning System) is inadequate for tracking the three dimensional position of a UMH because of large positioning errors. The Cricket systems use Time-Difference-of-Arrival(TDoA) method with ultrasonic and RF(Radio Frequency) signals to measure distances. They operate in passive mode in that a listener attached to a moving device receives distance signals from several beacons located at fixed points on ground. Inevitably, this passive type of implementation causes large disturbances in measuring distances between beacons and the listener due to wind blow from propeller and turbulence of UMH body. To cope with this problem, we proposed active type of implementation for positioning a UMH. In this implementation, a beacon is set up at UMH body and four listeners are located at ground area at least where the UMH will land. A pair of Ultrasonic and RF signals from the beacon arrives at several listeners to calculate the position of the UMH. The distance signals among listeners are synchronized with a counter value appended to each distance signals from the beacon.

본 논문은 GPS 신호를 수신할 수 없는 대형선박의 내부에서 현재 위치를 정확하게 측정하기 위해서, GPS 신호를 대신하여 선박내부에 설치되어 있는 Wireless AP (Access Point)에서 발신되는 RSSI (Received signal strength indication)를 이용하였다. 선박내부에서 수신되는 RSSI 신호 중 신호세기가 가장 강한 3곳의 AP에서 발신되는 RSSI를 Friis 공식을 통해 거리로 환산 후, 삼각측량법을 통해 위치로 변환하였다. 그리고 AP에서 발신되는 신호에는 노이즈가 발생되기 때문에 신호세기가 불규칙하게 변함으로써 정확한 위치를 얻기 힘들다. 그래서 칼만필터를 통해 실시간으로 위치를 보정하고, 보정된 위치는 서버 DB에 저장된다.

UGV가 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 먼저 자신의 위치를 인식하는 것이 중요하며, 위치 인식을 위해 일반적으로 GPS나 INS 등 하나의 센서로 구성된 항법시스템을 이용한다. 그러나 GPS와 INS와 같은 센서들은 각각 단독으로 사용되기에는 제한사항을 가지고 있다. 즉 GPS는 정확한 위치정보의 제공이 가능하지만 기상과 환경에 의해 위치정보가 단절되며, INS는 독자적인 항법정보의 제공이 가능하지만 오차가 누적되어 정확한 위치추정이 어렵다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 연속적이고 정확한 위치추정을 위해서는 센서 융합을 통한 복합 항법시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GPS와 INS를 융합한 복합 항법시스템을 구성하기 위해 퍼지추론과 언센티드 파티클 필터를 이용한 UGV의 데이터 융합 및 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 퍼지추론은 GPS와 INS를 융합하는데 있어 수학적인 방법보다 더 간단하게 구현이 가능하며, 언센티드 파티클 필터는 오차보정에 탁월한 성능을 보여주는 비선형 추정 필터이다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 비교분석하기 위해 실험을 실시하였으며, 실험 결과 제안한 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘보다 연속적이고 정밀한 위치추정이 가능함을 입증하였다.
