Geomagnetic is refracted by building's wall and pillar. Therefore refracted geomagnetic is able to be used as feature point. In a specific space, a mobile device that is equipped with magnetic sensor array measures 3-axis magnetic field for each point. Magnetic field map is acquired by collecting the every sample point in the magnetic field. The measured magnetic field must be calibrated, because each magnetic sensor has a distortion. For this reason, sensor distortion model and sensor calibration method are proposed in this paper. Magnetic field that is measured by mobile device matches magnetic field map. Result of the matching is used for position estimation. This paper implements hardware system for position estimation method using magnetic field map.

지자기 벡터는 센서가 바라보고 있는 방향에 따라 그 값이 달라지는 특성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 그런 문제를 최소화하여 지자기 기반 실내 위치 추정에 사용될 수 있도록 지자기 벡터 보정법을 제안한다. 지자기 기반 실내 위치 추정에서 사용되는 핑거프린팅 기법은 자기장 지도와 현재 위치에서의 자기장 값을 매칭하여 위치를 추정해낸다. 이때, 자기장 센서는 사용자의 이동 방향에 따라 읽어 들이는 자기장 벡터 값이 달라지기 때문에 위치 추정 정확도가 낮아진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구들은 자기장 벡터 크기를 사용하지만, 이는 지문의 고유성을 감소시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지문의 고유성을 유지할 수 있는 자기장 벡터를 그대로 사용하되, 벡터 크기처럼 사용자의 이동방향에 영향을 받지 않도록 벡터 값을 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 임의의 방향으로 걸어본 결과, 본 연구에서 제안된 보정법을 사용하면 자기장 지도와의 매칭 정확도가 높아지는 것을 확인하였다.

This research proposes a indoor magnetic map matching algorithm that improves the position accuracy by employing multiple magnetic sensors and probabilistic candidate weighting function. Since the magnetic field is easily distorted by the surrounding environment, the distorted magnetic field can be used for position mapping, and multiple sensor configuration is useful to improve mapping accuracy. Nevertheless, the position error is likely to increase because the external magnetic disturbances have repeated pattern in indoor environment and several points have similar magnetic field distortion characteristics. Those errors cause large position error, which reduces the accuracy of the position detection. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method to reduce the error using multiple sensors and likelihood boundaries that uses human walking characteristics. Also, to reduce the maximum position error, we propose an algorithm that weights according to their importance. We performed indoor walking tests to evaluate the performance of the algorithm and analyzed the position detection error rate and maximum distance error. From the results we can confirm that the accuracy of position detection is greatly improved.

목적: 3.0 Tesla와 같은 고 자장에서 고해상도의 나선주사영상을 얻기 위해서는 주자장을 균일하게 만들어야 한다. 특히, 나선주사영상인 경우 스핀-에코펄스 시퀀스(SE)나 경사자계 에코 펄스 시퀀스(GE)에 비하여 측정 시간이 길기 때문에 주자장이 균일하지 못하다면, off-resonance 현상으로 영상의 blur가 심해진다. 본 연구에서는 빠른 시간 안에 주자장을 균일하게 할 수 있는 고차(Higher-order) shimming방법을 모색했다. 대상 및 방법: 3 Tesla 자기 공명 영상시스템에서 고해상도의 나선주사영상을 얻기에 적합할 정도의 균일한 주자장을 빠른 시간 안에 만들기 위해, 한번의 스캔으로 axial, sagittal, coronal 방향의 불균일도 map을 구할 수 있는 펄스 시퀀스를 제안하였고, 불균일도 map으로부터 spherical harmonics 분석를 통해 shim 코일에 적절한 전류를 인가하여 주자장을 균일하게 만들었다. 결과: 3 Tesla 자기 공명 영상 시스템에서 주자장의 불균일도는 주자장의 크기에 비례하게 된다. 제안한 펄스 시퀀스로 얻은 영상을 이용하여 불균일도 Map을 만들 수 있었고, 이를 spherical harmonics 분석을 하여 2-3회의 고차 shimming으로 불균일한 자장을 균일하게 만들 수 있었다. 제안된 고차 shimming 방법은 전체 영상 영역 뿐만 아니라 선택한 영역에 대해서만 적용도 가능하기 때문에 국부 영역에 대한 고차 shimming이 가능하다. 고차 shimming이 적용되어 주자장이 균일하게 개선된 상태에서 고해상도의 나선주사영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 결론: 3 Tesla 고자장 자기 공명 영상 시스템에서 주자장의 불균일도를 개선하기 위한 펄스 시퀀스와 알고리즘을 통해 주자장의 불균일도를 빠른 시간 안에 개선할 수 있었다. 주자장의 불균일도를 효과적으로 개선함으로써, 고해상도의 나선주사 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

To control the torque of the IPMSM, a lookup table is generally used in control system because of its nonlinear characteristics. However, the method of generating the lookup table data has the disadvantage of having difficulty accurately analyzing the changing parameters, generating the current or magnetic flux map is complicated and long test time taken due to motor temperature differences at each test points. In this paper, on the basis of the electromagnetic field design of IPMSM, we devised an electromagnetic field-based magnetic flux map model that can compensate for the pre-generated magnetic flux map through a quick and simple test.

3T MRI system에서 고해상도 영상을 얻기 위해서는 magnetic field를 균일하게 만들어야 한다. 특히 초고속 영상 기법인 Spiral scan 방식과 EPI scan 방식에서는 이미지 영역에서의 magnetic field의 inhomogeneity에 의해 영상의 왜곡이 심해진다. 본 논문에서는 magnetic field의 inhomogeneity를 단시간 내에 측정하기 위해 fast spin echo방식의 pulse sequence 제안하고, magnetic field를 분석하기 위한 field map의 구성과, field pattern의 효과적인 분석을 통하여, magnetic field를 균일하게 만드는 방법을 제안한다.

An MR-based attenuation correction (MRAC) map plays an important role in quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) image evaluation in PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. However, the MRAC map is affected by the magnetic field inhomogeneity of MRIs. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of MRAC maps of physical phantoms on PET/MRI images. Phantom measurements were performed using the Siemens Biograph mMR. The modular type physical phantoms that provide assembly versatility for phantom construction were scanned in a four-channel Body Matrix coil. The MRAC map was generated using the two-point Dixon-based segmentation method for whole-body imaging. The modular phantoms were scanned in compact and non-compact assembly configurations. In addition, the phantoms were scanned repeatedly to generate MRAC maps. The acquired MRAC maps show differently assigned values for void areas. An incorrect assignment of a void area was shown on a locally compact space between phantoms. The assigned MRAC values were distorted using a wide field-of-view (FOV). The MRAC values also differed after repeated scans. However, the erroneous MRAC values appeared outside of phantom, except for a large FOV. The MRAC map of the phantom was affected by phantom configuration and the number of scans. A quantitative study using a phantom in a PET/MRI system should be performed after evaluation of the MRAC map characteristics.

In previous study, it showed that the MAP was greatly effective polishing process for magnesium plate. But it had lower efficiency than magnetic materials such as SM45C. It was very difficult to cut non-magnetic materials using the MAP process because the process was fundamentally possible by help of a magnetic force. This study aimed to verify analytically formation of the magnetic field in a case of the non-magnetic materials especially focused on magnesium plate. So, In this study, the magnetic density flux was predicted using simulation program. As a result, the magnetic density flux was lower at the center of pole on inductor than outside. It had same result on the experimental verification. And magnetic force was lower according to increase of working gap. So, to improve the magnetic force, permanent magnet was installed under the workpiece. In that case, the magnetic density flux not only at center but also at outside of pole was increased. Therefore, the efficiency of magnetic abrasive polishing was also increased. A design of experimental method was adopted for assessment of parameters' effect on the MAP results of magnesium plate for improving the magnetic force.

For the magnetic field analysis or design, it is important to know the behavior of the magnetic field in an interesting space. Magnetic field mapping becomes a useful tool for the study of magnetic field. In this paper, a numerical way for mapping the magnetic field within the cylindrical center volume of magnet is presented, based on the solution of the Laplace's equation in the cylindrical coordinate system. The expression of the magnetic field can be obtained by the magnetic flux density, which measured in the mapped volume. According to the form of the expression, the measurement points are arranged with the parallel cylindrical line (PCL) method. As example, the magnetic flux density generated by an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) magnet and a quadrupole magnet were mapped using the PCL method, respectively. The mapping results show the PCL arrangement method is feasible and convenience to map the magnetic field within a cylindrical center volume generated by the general magnet.
