본 논문은 수중 음향센서 데이터의 원거리 케이블 전송에 관한 연구 결과이다. LVDS(Low Voltage Differential Signaling) 전송 방식으로 설계된 데이터 송수신기의 케이블에 대한 원거리 전송 신호를 측정하고 지터 특성을 분석하였다. 지터 특성을 저감하기 위하여, 원거리 전송에 따라 감쇠될 송신 신호를 역 보상하는 고역 강조(pre-emphasis) 기법을 적용하였으며, 전송 거리에 따라 송신 특성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 저가형 컬러센서를 이용하여 원거리 인식이 가능한 소형 RGB 센서를 개발하였다. 이 센서의 수광부에는 원거리 인식을 위해 카메라 렌즈를 사용하였으며, 고출력 백색 LED와 반사경이 장착된 렌즈를 조명부에 사용하여 조명의 강도를 높였다. RGB 색상 인식 알고리즘은 학습과정과 실시간 인식과정으로 구성되어 있다. 학습과정에서는 기준색으로 도색된 시편을 이용하여 RGB 색상에 대한 정규화된 기준 데이터를 취득하고, 인식과정에서는 마할라노비스 거리를 이용하여 3색을 분류한다. 개발한 RGB 색상 인식 센서를 부품 분류 시제품에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다.

Camera rigs for shooting 3D video are classified as manual, motorized, or fully automatic. Even in an automatic camera rig, the process of Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) video capture is very complex and time-consuming. One of the key time-consuming operations is capturing the distance parameters, which are near distance, far distance, and convergence distance. Traditionally these distances are measured by tape measure or triangular indirect measurement methods. These two methods consume a long time for every scene in shot. In our study, a compact laser distance sensing system with long range distance sensitivity is developed. The system is small enough to be installed on top of a camera and the measuring accuracy is within 2% even at a range of 50 m. The shooting time of an automatic camera rig equipped with the laser distance sensing system can be reduced significantly to less than a minute.

Purpose: Automated guidance systems (AGSs) for mobile farm machinery have several advantages over manual operation in the crop production industry. Many researchers and companies have tried to develop such a system. However, it is not easy to evaluate the performance of an AGS because there is no established device used to evaluate it that complies with the ISO 12188 standard. The objective of this study was to develop a tracking sensor system using five laser distance measurement sensors. Methods: One sensor-for long-range distance measurement-was used to measure travel distance and velocity. The other four sensors-for mid-range distance measurement-were used to measure lateral deviation. Stationary, manual driving, and A-B line tests were conducted, and the results were compared with the real-time kinematic differential global positioning system (RTK-DGPS) signal used by the AGS. Results: For the stationary test, the average error of the tracking sensor system was 1.99 mm, and the average error of the RTK-DGPS was 15.19 mm. For the two types of driving tests, the data trends were similar. A comparison of the changes in lateral deviation showed that the data stability of the developed tracking system was better. Conclusions: Although the tracking system was not capable of measuring long travel distances under strong sunlight illumination because of the long-range sensor's limitations, this dilemma could be overcome using a higher-performance sensor.

This paper reveals a distance estimation algorithm based on multi-code ultrasonic and wireless sensor network. For measuring the distances among the sensor nodes, each ultrasonic transmitter transmits multi-code ultrasonic signal simultaneously. Receivers use cross correlation method to separate the coded signals. The information of measured distances is broadcasted to each sensor node by wireless sensor network. The wireless sensor network measures the distance among the sensor nodes using the received signal strength of the broadcasting. The multi-code ultrasonic have a limitation of measurable distance. And the received signal strength is affected from an environment. This paper measures a distance using ultrasonic and a received signal strength in short range. These measured data are applied to the least square estimation algorithm. By the expansion of the fitting curve, a distance measurement in long range using the received signal strength is compensated. The coupled system reduce the error to an acceptable level.

본 논문에서는 빔 확산각 최소화를 통해 장거리에서 측정이 가능하도록 한 ToF 레이저 거리센서 광학계 설계에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 거리센서는 장거리 측정 시 거리가 멀어질수록 레이저 빔의 확산각으로 인해 물체 표면에 도달하는 빔의 광량이 급격히 저하되며, 이로 인해 센서에 수신되는 광량도 감소되어 측정이 되지 않거나 측정 오차가 발생하게 된다. 일반적으로 빔 확산각을 최소화하는 광학계로 실린더 렌즈가 사용된다. 그러나 실린더 렌즈를 이용한 광학계는 광학계 크기가 커지는 문제뿐만 아니라 조립 공차의 어려움으로 인해 성능이 저하된다는 문제점이 있어 최근 비구면 렌즈를 사용하는 추세가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실린더 렌즈를 이용한 광학계와 비구면 렌즈를 이용한 광학계의 광효율과 조립공차를 비교 분석하고자 한다.

광섬유 브래그 격자(fiber Bragg grating, FBC)는 1989년 Melts의 실험이후 광통신 분야 및 센서 분야에 다양한 용도를 가지고 있다. 이를 이용하여 광섬유 레이저, 대역 통과 필터로 사용하거나, 여러 가지 물리량을 측정하기 위한 온도, 변형률, 변위센서 등에 응용할 수 있다. 특히 본 연구에서는 기존 센서가 가지지 못한 긴 게이지 길이에서의 측정을 위해서 광섬유 센서 정적 시스템(FBG Static Logger)과 FBG 센서가 포함된 긴 길이의 광섬유를 이용하여 장대 구조물의 변형이나 외부 reference의 상대변위를 길게 연결하여 측정하기 쉽지 않은 변위를 측정하여 구조물의 상황을 상시 점검하고 더 나아가 잔존수명을 예측하고 보수시기를 알려줄 수 있는 방법을 모색하여 FBG. 센서의 패키지(package)를 고안하였다. 이를 통해 효율적인 장거리 변위 측정방법을 정립하고 이를 원자력 격납구조물에 적용하여 성공적으로 측정함으로써 광섬유 격자센서를 이용하여 50m 이상의 장거리 계측의 가능성을 보여 주었다.

Throughout CGL (Continuous Galvanizing Line) in steel works, zinc-coated steel sheets are produced which are used where long-running corrosion resistivity is required. During the galvanizing process, top dross is created and floated on the zinc pot. Because the dross leaves ill patterns on the coated sheets, a robot system is developed to automatically collect and remove the top dross. It consists of a robot and its carriage system, a pot level sensor, a system controller, and special robot tools. For the first time the level of zinc pot must be measured and fed back to the robot controller to avoid submersion of the robot hand into the hot zinc pot. In this paper, acoustic distance sensor is tested as a candidate for the pot level sensor in the view point of hot environment. Some considerations on the use of the acoustic distance sensor will be denoted.

This paper proposes a surface recognition algorithm which determines the types of contact surfaces by fusing the information collected by the multisensor system, consisted of the optical tactile and force/torque sensors. Since the image shape measured by the optical tactile sensor system, which is used for determining the surface type, varies depending on the forces provided at the measuring moment, the force information measured by the f/t sensor takes an important role. In this paper, an image contour is represented by the long and short axes and they are fuzzified individually by the membership function formulated by observing the variation of the lengths of the long and short axes depending on the provided force. The fuzzified values of the long and short axes are fused using the average Minkowski's distance. Compared to the case where only the contour information is used, the proposed algorithm has shown about 14% of enhancement in the recognition ratio. Especially, when imposing the optimal force determined by the experiments, the recognition ratio has been measured over 91%.
