Indoor localization using an artificial marker plays a key role for a robot to be used in a service environment. A number of researchers have predefined the positions of markers and attached them to the positions in order to reduce the error of the localization method. However, it is practically impossible to attach a marker to the predetermined position accurately. In order to visualize the position of an object in the environment based on the marker attached to them, it is necessary to consider a change of marker's position or the addition of a marker because of moving the existed object or adding a new object. In this paper, we studied the method to estimate the artificial marker's global position for the visualization of environment. The system calculates the relative distance from a reference marker to others repeatedly to estimate the marker's position. When the marker's position is changed or new markers are added, our system can recognize the changed situation of the markers. To verify the proposed system, we attached 12 markers at regular intervals on the ceiling and compared the estimation result of the proposed method and the actual distance. In addition, we compared the estimation result when changing the position of an existing marker or adding a new marker.

지의류는 대기오염도를 측성하는 대표적인 생물지표종이다. 본 연구는 청주시 내에 서식하고 있는 지의류 를 대기오염 지표종으로 활용하여 청주시 대기오염을 진단해 보고, 오염원과 거리와 풍향에 따라 지역별 오염도가 어떻게 달라지는지 살펴보았다. 그 결과 청주시 공단지역과 도심지역은 지의사막화 현상이 나타났고 SO$_2$농도가 0.03ppm 이상으로 추정되었다 또한 청주공단과의 거리기 먹어짐에 따라 대기오염이 낮아져 지의류의 종수와 피도가 증가하는 경향이 나타났다.

We review research using departures from the law of one price to measure the advent of globalization in Europe and Asia. In an application, we then study the role of distance and time in statistically explaining price dispersion across 32 Swedish towns for 19 commodities from 1732 to 1914. The resulting large number of relative prices (502,689) allows precise estimation of distance and time effects, and their interaction. We find an effect of distance that declines significantly over time, beginning in the 18th century, well before the arrival of canals, the telegraph, or the railway.

This paper presents an advanced method for an initial pole position estimation of a PMLSM (Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor) that has an incremental encoder for servo applications but does not have Hall sensors as a magnetic pole sensor. The proposed algorithm finds either of two zero force positions and then the correct d-axis by appropriately using the secant method as a numerical method. It only requires the tuned current controller and the relative position information and so it can be simply applicable to a rotary PMSM. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method with respect to accurate pole position estimation under the minimal moving distance during estimation process.

To protect and manage the Korean space assets including satellites, it is important to have precise positions and orbit information of each space objects. While Korea currently lacks optical observatories dedicated to satellite tracking, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is planning to establish an optical observatory for the active generation of space information. However, due to geopolitical reasons, it is difficult to acquire an adequately sufficient number of optical satellite observatories in Korea. Against this backdrop, this study examined the possible locations for such observatories, and performed simulations to determine the differences in precision of optical orbit estimation results in relation to the relative baseline distance between observatories. To simulate more realistic conditions of optical observation, white noise was introduced to generate observation data, which was then used to investigate the effects of baseline distance between optical observatories and the simulated white noise. We generated the optical observations with white noise to simulate the actual observation, estimated the orbits with several combinations of observation data from the observatories of various baseline differences, and compared the estimated orbits to check the improvement of precision. As a result, the effect of the baseline distance in combined optical GEO satellite observation is obvious but small compared to the observation resolution limit of optical GEO observation.

The research was conducted windward of an irrigated Acacia amplicips Maslin windbreak established to protect As Salam Cement Plant from winds and moving sands. Two belts with approximate optical porosities of 50% and 20% were studied in River Nile State, Sudan. The research aimed at assessing the efficiency of the two belts in wind speed reduction and sand deposition. Research methods included: (i) estimation of optical porosity, (ii) measurements of windward wind speeds at a control and at distances of 0.5 h (h stands for windbreak height), 1 h and 2 h at two vertical levels of 0.25 h and 0.5 h, (iii) estimation of relative wind speeds at the three positions (distance and height) at windward and (iv) estimation of wind erosive forces and prediction of zones of sand deposition. Results show that while the two belts reduced windward wind speeds at the two levels for the three distances, belt II was more effective. Nearest sand deposition occurred at 2 h and 1h windward of belt II and belt I, respectively, at level 0.25 h. At level 0.5 h, sand was deposited only at 2 h windward of belt II and no sand deposition occurred windward of belt I. The study concludes that less porous windbreaks are more effective in reducing wind speed and in depositing sand in windward direction at a distance of not less than twice the belt height.

In this paper a novel method of the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for rotor position estimation in Switched Reluctance Motors is presented. The data provided by the initial assumptions is one of the important aspects used to solve the problems relative to an Ant Colony algorithm. Considering the nature of a real ant colony, it was found that the ants have no primary data for deducing which is the shortest path in their initial iteration. They also do not have the ability to see the food sources at a distance. According to this point of view, a novel method is presented in which the rotor pole position relative to the corresponding stator pole in a switched reluctance motor is estimated with high accuracy using the active and inactive phase parameters. This new method gives acceptable results such as a desirable convergence together with an optimized and stable response. To the best knowledge of the authors, such an analysis has not been carried out previously.

현대 대잠전에 있어 잠수함에 대한 2차원 위치추정에 다양한 방법들이 있다. 잠수함에 대한 보다 효과적인 추적 및 공격을 위해 표적 심도는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 현재까지도 잠수함의 심도를 찾아낸다는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 최단접근점(Closest Point of Approach, CPA) 전후의 표적 접촉방위와 표적 도플러 신호 등 다이파 소노부이 접촉정보를 이용한 잠수함 심도 추정 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 표적의 상대심도는 표적과 다이파 소노부이의 청음기 간 사선거리 및 수평거리에 피타고라스 정리를 적용하여 결정된다. 이때 사선거리는 도플러변이와 표적 속도에 의해서 계산되며, 수평거리는 표적에 대한 연속된 접촉방위와 표적의 이동거리에 삼각함수를 적용하여 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시된 알고리즘의 성능은 소노부이-표적 간 수평거리 및 상대심도에 의해 결정되는 고각과 도플러 변이 값의 측정 정확성에 의해 좌우됨을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알 수 있다.

Lindsay (1994) and Basu et al (1997) show that another density-based distance called the negative exponential disparity (NED) is an excellent competitor to the Hellinger distance (HD) in generating an asymptotically fully efficient and robust estimator. Bhattacharya and Basu (1996) consider estimation of the locations of several normal populations when an order relation between them is known to be true. They empirically show that the robust HD based weighted likelihood estimators compare favorably with the M-estimators based on Huber's $\psi$ function, the Gastworth estimator, and the trimmed mean estimator. In this paper we investigate the performance of the weighted likelihood estimator based on the NED as a robust alternative relative to that based on the HD. The NED based estimator is found to be quite competitive in the settings considered by Bhattacharya and Basu.

This paper describes an initial pole position estimation method of a magnetic pole sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) with an incremental encoder, The accurate initial pole position is estimated by using an efficient numerical method of Secant Method, which finds either of two zero torque/force positions and then the correct d-axis. It can be simply applicable to both rotary and linear PMSM because it only requires the tuned current controller and the relative position information. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method with respect to highly accurate pole position estimation under the moderate moving distance and convergence time.
