The use of error compensation techniques has been recognized as an effective way in the improvement of the accuracy of a machine tool. The laser measurement method for identifying position errors of machine tool has the disadvantages such as high cost, long calibration time and usage of volumetric error synthesis model. Accordingly, this paper deals with analysis of the position errors of a machine tool using ball bar test without using complicated error synthesis model. Statistical analysis method was adopted in this paper for deriving position errors using hemispherical helix ball bar test.

In the conventional remote monitoring system, a user in front of a computer monitor can acquire only 2 dimensional visual information in a passive way. Thus, even thoght the user finds an interesting object from the video image, helshe can hardly acquire additional information on the object such as name. 311 shape, etc. In this paper, an active monitoring system that shows additional information on the selected object is proposed. The active remote monitoring system can calculate the 3D position of the object that is selected in the video images. Then, using the 3D position of the object, other information on the object can be retrieved from the database and shown on the screen. To calculate the 3D position of the object, 2 CCD cameras that can be tilted and panned using 3 stepping motors are used. The algorithm of 3D position calculation and the result of experiments are explained.

We propose a tram position estimation method for automatic train control system. The accurate train position should be continuously feedback to control system for safe and efficient operation of trains in railway. In this paper, we propose the sensor fusion method integrating a tachometer, a transponder, and a doppler sensor far estimation of train position. The external sensors(transponder, doppler sensor) are used to compensate for the error of internal sensor (tachometer). The Kalman filter is also applied to reduce the measurement error of the sensors. Simulation results are then presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a method of position estimating through compensating the autonomous mobile robot's noise. Proposed method is that estimated position error by modified Kalman filter method using neural network. We use a neural network for measurement noise covariance and system noise covariance. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments for position estimation. The results show that convergence and position error is reduced than the Kalman filter method.

This paper describes a novel method of detecting excitation position in switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive. Some strategies of position sensorless control methods for the motor include the measurement of phase current and applied pulse voltage in an unexcited phase is suggested. The principle of the estimation of a rotor position is based on the detection of inductance by pulse currents. This sensorless method is very simple to detect excitation position estimation and gives efficient control of drive system. Suggested method is verified by some simulations.

A CCD camera is used to determine the position of the point sources that influence the measurement accuracy in the absolute interferometer. The principle of determination method is based on the GPS in which the position is determined by more than 3 distance information from the known positions. Two-dimensional array of photo-detectors in the CCD camera is used as known positions. Performing optimization of the cost function constructed with phase values measured at each pixel on the CCD camera, the position coordinates of each source is precisely determined.

The accurate calculation of bucket tip position has a large influence on showing the motion of an excavator on the display device of the excavator and controlling the excavator automatically. It is generally known that Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors are more accurate than accelerometer-based sensors while the boom, arm or bucket moves because additional forces beyond gravity add additional acceleration to the sensors. To prove the accuracy difference between the two types of sensors, a position recognition system using an accelerometer-based sensor and an IMU sensor is implemented on the excavator. The experimental results show that the system using the IMU sensor significantly reduces the position recognition error while bucket moves and additional force beyond gravity exists.

Since the spine radiography were explained differently at every several hospitals and textbooks. the technique has not been accurately defined and interfered each other. We would like to define the most appropriate positioning for clinical cases, and reference books, by comparing scoliotic angle and lordotic angle. From Mar 2009 to Sep 2011, 85 patient cases were studied, who had not been undergone surgical treatment among spondylopathy patients. Scoliotic angle and lordotic angle were measured, using Cobb's method. We analyzed statistically using t-test(SPSS 18), and evaluated spine general radiography position. Moreover, we researched on the actual condition at 10 university hospitals in Seoul. The results of scoliotic angle measurement, the value at erect position showed 20.98% higher than supine position, and it has statistical significance (p<.01). In lordotic angle measurement, the value at neutral holding position represented 29.3% higher than supine position, and it also has statistical significance(p<.01). The results of clinical survey, supine posine(70.0%) took much higher possession than erect position(30.0%). In conclusion, compare to supine position, erect position shows increased scoliotic and lordotic angle. It was agreed with the importance of clinical erect position radiography, which gravity affects. So clinical radiologist must recognize the difference, and conduct an accurate study.

Purpose : To investigate the reproducibilities and compare the measurements in digital and MDCT-synthesized cephalometric radiograph, and to investigate the effect of head position on the measurement during imaging with MDCT. Materials and Methods : Twenty-two dry skulls (combined with mandible) were used in this study. Conventional digital cephalometric radiograph was taken in standard position, and MDCT was taken in standard position and two rotated position ($10^{\circ}$ left rotation and $10^{\circ}$ right tilting). MDCT data were imported in $OnDemand^{(R)}$ and lateral cephalometric radiograph were synthesized from 3D virtual models. Two types of rotated MDCT data were synthesized with default mode and with corrected mode using both ear rods. For all six images, sixteen angular and eleven linear measurements were made in V-$Ceph^{(R)}$ three times. Reproducibility of measurements was assessed using repeated measures ANOV A and ICC. Linear and angular measurements were compared between digital and five MDCT-synthesized images by Student t-test. Results : All measurements in six types of cephalometric radiograph were not statistically different under ICC examination. Measurements were not different between digital and MDCT-synthesized images (P>.05). Measurements in MDCT-synthesized image in $10^{\circ}$ left rotation or $10^{\circ}$ right tilting position showed possibility of difference from digital image in some measurements, and possibility of improvement via realignment of head position using both ear rods. Conclusion : MDCT-synthesized cephalometric radiograph can substitute conventional cephalometric radiograph. The error on head position during imaging with MDCT have possibility that can produce measurement errors with MDCT-synthesized image, and these position error can be corrected by realignment of the head position using both ear rods.

This study was done to evaluate the correlations between the size, the form of the cranial base, head posture and the horizontal and vertical position of craniofacial structures. For this purpose, 100 cephalometric radiographs were taken from the sample composed of 51 male and 49 female, 12 measurement criteria and 37 reference points were established and digitized, then calculation was performed for the values of measurement variables and the horizontal and vertical position of reference points. The correlations be4ween them were analyzed statistically and mean facial diagrams were constructed and compared with the selected groups which were composed of 10 Samples each as large and small group from the measurement value. The following results were obtained: 1. The angles n-s-ba and n-s-ar as variables for the ion of cranial base correlated highly to the horizontal and vertical position of reference points in the cervical column with statistical significance($0.1\%$ level). 2. The angles n-s-ba and n-s-ar as variables for the form of cranial base correlated to the horizontal position of the reference points in the facial structure with statistical significance($1\%$ level), but not to the vertical position of them($5\%$ level). 3. The length n-s, s-ba, and n-ar as variables for the size of cranial base were correlated th the position of craniofacial structures in various ways, but in general, highly correlated to the horizontal and vertical position of midfacial structures around the teeth and alveolar area. 4. the angle NSL/CVT and NSL/OPT as postural variables tot the inclination of cranial base and cervical column were correlated to the horizontal position of the craniofacial structures with statistical significance($1\%$ level), but not to the vortical position of them($5\%$ level). 5. The angle OPT/HOR and CVT/HOR as postural variables lot the inclination of cranial base and true horizontal line were not correlated to the horizontal and vertical position of the craniofacial structures with statistical significance($5\%$ level). 6. The correlation between the measurement variables and horizontal and vortical positions of the reference poits in soft tissue were shown as similar to the related hard tissue points.
