If we are to realize the everyday benefits promised by pervasive computing and context-aware applications, we must first develop the infrastructure to provide contextual location and orientation information through pervasive computing elements. We have implement indoor positioning system to supply orientation information. We have used ultrasound in indoor positioning system for distance and orientation measurements, then propose a set of methods to calculate orientation from an array of well placed ultrasonic sensors operating in the indoor positioning system. We have design and implement a indoor positioning system using a combination of hardware and software and demonstrate end-to-end functionality of the system.

In this paper, we studied the error compensation using an error budget method for repeatability improvement of the precision positioning system. The precision positioning system is developed for micro-pressing machine. We performed the force and displacement analysis about parts of the system. Proposed system determines the position and orientation of the materials manufactured by micro-pressing machine. It is consisted of x-y-z linear stages setting the position, and the gripper system setting the orientation. We executed kinematic and dynamic modeling of the whole precision positioning system. By generalizing the design variables, precision positioning system has the flexibility of material dimension. As we tried an error compensation using ...

In this paper, we present a novel idea to integrate low cost Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) for Telematics applications. As well known, low cost IMU produces large positioning and attitude errors in very short time due to the poor quality of inertial sensor assembly. To conquer the limitation, we present a bimodal approach for integrating IMU and DGPS, taking advantage of positioning and orientation data calculated from CCD images based on photogrammetry and stereo-vision techniques. The positioning and orientation data from the photogrammetric approach are fed back into the Kalman filter to reduce and compensate IMU errors and improve the performance. Experimental results are presented to show the robustness of the proposed method that can provide accurate position and attitude information for extended period for non-aided GPS information.

This paper presents some experimental results about Position Mooring (PM) system applied to the barge ship. In PM operation, the station keeping in surge, sway of vessel is provided by the mooring system. In this paper, a system, consisting of a barge vessel and mooring lines, is mathematically modeled. The position and orientation of vessel is controlled by changing the tensions in the mooring lines. The PID control strategy is applied to evaluate the efficiency of proposed system. Experimental result which corresponds to the applied control strategy is presented and discussed.

모바일매핑시스템은 차량에 GPS(Global Positioning System), IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), CCD 등을 탑재하고 대상에 관한 위치 및 영상 정보를 취득하는 효율적인 시스템이다. 모바일매핑시스템은 현재 도로 시설물 관리, 지도 갱신 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있으며 앞으로 그 활용도가 더욱 증가할 것으로 보인다. 항공사진측량과 같은 기존의 일반적인 사진측량의 경우, 영상 외부표정요소를 구하기 위해서는 지상기준점이 필요하다. 이러한 기준점들은 자료취득 전후에 현장측량을 통해 좌표가 결정되는데 일반적으로 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되고, 사실 영상을 취득할 도로를 따라 필요한 만큼 충분히 많은 기준점을 설치한다는 것도 거의 불가능하다. 하지만 모바일매핑 시스텔의 경우 GPS/INS를 이용해 영상촬영당시의 카메라의 위치 및 자세, 즉 외부표정요소를 직접적으로 구할 수 있어 시간과 비용 면에서 훨씬 효율적이다. 즉 외부표정요소를 결정하기 위해 영상표정기법은 지상기준점이 필요한 반면, 직접위치참조기법은 GPS/INS를 이용해 직접 외부표정요소를 구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상표정 기법과 직접위치참조기법에서 산출되는 영상외부표정요소를 이용해 지상점의 위치정확도에 대해 비교 분석해 보았다.

As a countermeasure against the threat of jamming which can disrupt operation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, various kinds of technique to estimate the Direction-Of-Arrivals (DOAs) of incoming jamming signals have been widely studied, and among them, the MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm is known to provide very high resolution. However, since the previous studies regarding the MUSIC algorithm does not consider the orientation of each antenna element of antenna arrays, there is a possibility that DOA estimation performance degrades in the case of a misaligned antenna array whose antenna elements are not oriented along the same direction. As an effort to solve this problem, there exists a previous work which presents an MUSIC-based method for DOA estimation. However, the error between the real and measured values of each antenna orientation is not taken into consideration. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of the aforementioned error on the DOA estimation performance in the case of a misaligned antenna array is analyzed by simulations.

Since the accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS)-based vehicle positioning system is significantly degraded or does not work appropriately in the urban canyon, the integration techniques of GPS with Inertial Navigation System (INS) have intensively been developed to improve the continuity and reliability of positioning. However, its accuracy is degraded as INS errors are not properly corrected due to the GPS signal blockage. Recently, the image-based positioning techniques have been started to apply for the vehicle positioning for the advanced in processing techniques as well as the increased the number of cars installing the camera. In this study, Single Photo Resection (SPR), which calculates the camera exterior orientation parameters using the Ground Control Points (GCPs,) has been integrated with the INS/GPS for continuous and stable positioning. The INS/GPS/SPR integration was implemented in both of a loosely and a tightly coupled modes, based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). In order to analyze the performance of INS/SPR integration during the GPS outage, the simulation tests were conducted with a consideration of factors affecting SPR performance. The results demonstrate that the accuracy of INS/SPR integration is depended on magnitudes of the GCP errors and SPR processing intervals. Additionally, the simulation results suggest some required conditions to achieve accurate and continuous positioning, used the INS/SPR integration.

This paper proposes to improve the performance of a strap down inertial navigation system using a foot-mounted low-cost inertial measurement unit/magnetometer by configuring an attitude and heading reference system. To track position accurately and for attitude estimations, considering different dynamic constraints, magnetic measurement and a zero velocity update technique is used. A conventional strap down method based on integrating angular rate to determine attitude will inevitably induce long-term drift, while magnetometers are subject to short-term orientation errors. To eliminate this accumulative error, and thus, use the navigation system for a long-duration mission, a hybrid configuration by integrating a miniature micro electromechanical system (MEMS)-based attitude and heading detector with the conventional navigation system is proposed in this paper. The attitude and heading detector is composed of three-axis MEMS accelerometers and three-axis MEMS magnetometers. With an absolute algorithm based on gravity and Earth's magnetic field, rather than an integral algorithm, the attitude detector can obtain an absolute attitude and heading estimation without drift errors, so it can be used to adjust the attitude and orientation of the strap down system. Finally, we verify (by both formula analysis and from test results) that the accumulative errors are effectively eliminated via this hybrid scheme.
