This paper presents a real-time haptic rendering method for multi-contact interaction with virtual environments. Haptic systems often employ physics-based deformation models such as finite-element models and mass-spring models which demand heavy computational overhead. The haptic system can be designed to have two sampling times, T and JT, for the haptic loop and the graphic loop, respectively. A multi-rate output-estimation with an exponential forgetting factor is proposed to implement real-time haptic rendering for the haptic systems with two sampling rates. The computational burden of the output-estimation increases rapidly as the number of contact points increases. To reduce the computation of the estimation, the multi-rate output-estimation with reduced parameters is developed in this paper. Performance of the new output-estimation with reduced parameters is compared with the original output-estimation with full parameters and an exponential forgetting factor. Estimated outputs are computed from the estimated input-output model at a high rate, and trace the analytical outputs computed from the deformation model. The performance is demonstrated by simulation with a linear tensor-mass model.

For the purpose of fault detection of the primary control surface, real-time estimation of the longitudinal stability and control derivatives of the DURUMI-II using the flight data is considered in this paper. The DURUM-II, a research UAV developed by KARI, is designed to have split control surfaces for the redundancy and to guarantee safety during the fault mode flight test. For fault mode analysis, the right elevator was deliberately fixed to the specified deflection condition. This study also mentions how to implement the multi-step control input efficiently, and how to switch between the normal mode and the fault mode during the flight test. As a realtime parameter estimation technique, Fourier transform regression method was used and the estimated data was compared with the results of the analytical method and the other available method. The aerodynamic derivatives estimated from the normal mode flight data and the fault mode data are compared and the possibility to detect the elevator fault by monitoring the control derivative estimated in real time by the computer onboard was discussed.

The resistance spot welding process has been used for joining the sheet metal in automotive engineering. In the resistance spot welding, the weld quality is very important, because the quality of weld is one of the most important factors to the automobile quality. The size of he molten nugget has been utilized to estimate the weld quality. However, it is not easy to find the weld defects. For weldability estimation, we have to use the nondestructive method such as X-ray or ultrasonic inspection. But these kinds of approaches are not suitable for detecting the defects in real time. The purpose of this study is to develop the real time monitoring of the weld quality in the resistance spot welding. Obtained data were used to estimate weldability using fuzzy algorithm. It is sound that this monitoring and estimation system can be useful to improve the weld quality in the resistance spot welding process and it is possible to estimate the weldability in real time.

To improve the performance of sensorless induction motor (IM) drives, a novel speed estimation method based on the real-time adaptive extended Kalman filter (RAEKF) is proposed in this paper. In this algorithm, the fuzzy factor is introduced to tune the measurement covariance matrix online by the degree of mismatch between the actual innovation and the theoretical. Simultaneously, the fuzzy factor can be continuously self-tuned tuned by the fuzzy logic reasoning system based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. Therefore, the proposed method improves the model adaptability to the actual systems and the environmental variations, and reduces the speed estimation error. Furthermore, a simple exponential function based on the fuzzy theory is used to reduce the computational burden, and the real-time performance of the system is improved. The correctness and the effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 십자 형태로 구성된 네 개의 마이크로폰을 이용하여 일반화된 상호 상관 기법을 적용한 음성 도달시간 지연을 측정하여 정확한 음원 방향을 실시간으로 계산하는 방식에 대해 제시하였다. 기존 시스템에서는 마이크로폰 어레이 신호처리를 위해 데이터 수집 장치를 필요로 하므로 시스템을 내장하기 힘들고, 또한 DSP 프로세서를 사용한 음원방향 인지는 마이크로폰의 채널의 수가 늘어날수록 실시간 처리가 어려워지는 두 가지 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 마이크로폰 어레이 신호처리를 이용한 향상된 음원방향 인지 하드웨어의 개발을 제안하였다. 공간 구분 기법을 이용한 효율적인 설계 및 검증방식을 제안하였고 이를 통하여 보다 정확한 방향 추정과 설계시간 단축이 가능하다. 최종적으로 음성 코덱과 FPGA를 이용하는 임베디드 시스템을 위해서 사용이 가능한 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 PC 기반이나 DSP 프로세서를 사용한 경우에 비해 보다 빠른 처리 시간을 보였다.

This paper proposed a new real time catenary impedance estimation technique using synchronized power data from the measured data of operating vehicle and substation for catenary protective relay and fault locator setting. This paper presented estimation equation of catenary impedance using synchronized power data between substation and vehicle of AT feeding system for the performance verification of the proposed technique. Also AC feeding system is modeled through power analysis program and performance was verified through simulation according to various load changes. We verified that average 2.38%(distance equivalent 23.8 m) error appeared between the proposed estimation equation of catenary impedance and power analysis program simulation output in no connection double track system between up track and down track. Furthermore, We confirmed that estimation error is bigger depending on the increasing the distance from substation and vehicle impedance using only using vehicle current when calculating vehicle impedance in connection double track system between up track and down track. But, We confirmed that the proposed technique estimated accurately catenary impedance regardless of vehicle impedance and distance from substation.

3D human pose estimation is widely applied in various fields, including action recognition, sports analysis, and human-computer interaction. 3D human pose estimation has achieved significant progress with the introduction of convolutional neural network (CNN). Recently, several researches have proposed the use of multiview approaches to avoid occlusions in single-view approaches. However, as the number of cameras increases, a 3D pose estimation system relying on a CNN may lack in computational resources. In addition, when a single host system uses multiple cameras, the data transition speed becomes inadequate owing to bandwidth limitations. To address this problem, we propose a distributed real-time 3D pose estimation framework based on asynchronous multiple cameras. The proposed framework comprises a central server and multiple edge devices. Each multiple-edge device estimates a 2D human pose from its view and sendsit to the central server. Subsequently, the central server synchronizes the received 2D human pose data based on the timestamps. Finally, the central server reconstructs a 3D human pose using geometrical triangulation. We demonstrate that the proposed framework increases the percentage of detected joints and successfully estimates 3D human poses in real-time.

본 논문에서는 대역 확산 (spread spectrum) 방식의 실시간 위치 추적 시스템 (RTLS: real-time locating system)을 위한 초 분해능 지연 시간 추정 (super-resolution time delay estimation) 알고리즘을 개발하고 다중 경로 환경에서 성능을 분석한다. 기존의 코릴레이션 방식은 주변에 장애물이 없는 line-of-sight (LOS) 환경에서는 비교적 정확한 지연 시간 추정이 가능하나 지연 시간의 차이가 한 칩 이내인 근접 다중 경로 환경에서는 성능이 급격히 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 도래각 추정에 이용되는 MUSIC 알고리즘을 이용하여 근접 다중 경로 환경에서도 신호의 지연 시간을 추정할 수 있는 초 분해능 지연 시간 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS 시스템에 적용하여 성능을 분석한다.

A practical real-time LOS rate estimator is proposed to handle the time-varying measurement noise statistics. To calculate the optimal Kalman gain, the algebraic transformation method is taken into account. By using the algebraic transformation, the differential algebraic Riccati equation(DARE) regarding estimation error covariance is replaced by the simple algebraic Riccati equation(ARE). The proposed LOS estimation filter gain is only a function of relative range. Consequently, the proposed method is computationally very efficient and suitable for embedded environment.
