The autonomous driving method using magnetic sensors recognizes the position by measuring magnetic fields in autonomous robots or vehicles after installing magnetic markers in a moving path. The Position estimate method using magnetic sensors has an advantage of being affected less by variation of driving environment such as oil, water and dust due to the use of magnetic field. It also has the advantages that we can use the magnet as an indicator and there is no consideration for power and communication environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient sensor system for an autonomous driving vehicle supplemented for existing disadvantage. In order to efficiently eliminate geomagnetism, we analyze the components of the horizontal and vertical magnetic field. We propose an algorithm for position estimation and geomagnetic elimination to ease analysis, and also propose an initialization method for sensor applied in the vehicle. We measured and analyzed the developed system in various environments, and we verify the advantages of proposed methods.

본 논문에서는 나노기술을 적용한 압저항형 온 습도복합센서를 개발하여 특성을 평가 분석 하였다. 온도 변화에 대한 출력 감도는 $20{\sim}80^{\circ}C$에 이르는 측정구간에서 약 0.75mV/$1^{\circ}C$의 출력 값을 보였다. 습도 변화에 대한 감도는 약 1.35mV/10%(RH)의 결과를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과에 의하여 본 논문에서 개발한 센서는 일반적인 생활 주거 환경에 적용이 가능함을 시사해 준다.

This paper presents a sensor bias estimation method with serial fusion for asynchronous multisensory systems. Serial fusion processes the sensor measurements in a first-come-first-serve basis and it plays an essential role in asynchronous fusion in practice. The proposed algorithm generates the bias measurements using fusion estimates and sensor measurements for bias estimation, and compensates the sensor biases in fusion tracks. A simulation study indicates that the proposed algorithm has the superior performance in bias estimation and accurate tracking.

In this paper, optimum design of distributed detection is considered for a parallel sensor network system consisting of a fusion center and multiple passive sonar nodes. Nonrandom fusion rules are employed as the fusion rules of the sensor network. For the nonrandom fusion rules, it is shown that a threshold rule of each sensor node has uniformly most powerful properties. Optimum threshold for each sensor is investigated that maximizes the probability of detection under a constraint on energy consumption due to false alarms. It is also investigated through numerical experiments how signal strength, false alarm probability, and the distance between three sensor nodes affect the system detection performances.

최근 각 종 분야에서 센서들을 이용한 연구 및 활용도가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서 는 3축 가속도 센서를 이용해 serial 통신을 통한 물체의 기울기를 감지 및 검출 하고 사용자는 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 GUI 환경 및 기울기 감지 시스템을 제안하였다. 기존 전자식 액체충전 방식의 기울기 센서의 불안정한 데이터와 오차의 단점을 줄이고자 AD 변환기가 내장된 디지털식 3축 가속도 센서를 이용함으로서, 보다 정확한 데이터를 검출하여 정확도를 높이고 사용자는 이상 여부를 보다 쉽게 인식할 수 있었다.

This paper presents Spectral-Domain optical measurement system using self-fabricated CCD sensor driver. The light source is a high brightness white LED and the detector is a 2048 array typed CCD image sensor. I have fabricated the CCD sensor driver to generate four pulse signals, which are the CCD-driving pulses. Using this Spectral Domain optical measurement system, the distance value between the reference mirror and the sample mirror can be obtained successfully.

We studied partial discharge detection by sensing electromagnetic waves emitted from the partial discharge source in an HV Rotating Machine using a UWB sensor. In this study, we design a new type of compact low frequency UWB sensor based on micro-strip technology. We also perform many experiments of offline and dismantled testing compared with the existing HFCT on stator winding of the HV generator. We mention the detailed design of a new compact UWB sensor along with the time domain PRPD pattern and frequency domain results of partial discharge in the stator winding of a 6.6kV rotating machine by offline testing performed in a laboratory.

SoC에서 칩 내부의 온도를 측정하기 위한 proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) 회로와 sensing 된 아날로그 신호를 디지털로 변환하기 위해 4-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)로 구성된 temperature sensor를 제안한다. CMOS 공정에서 vertical PNP 구조를 이용하여 PTAT 회로가 설계되었다. 온도변화에 둔감한 ADC를 구현하기 위해 아날로그 회로를 최소로 사용하는 successive approximation (SA) ADC가 이용되었다. 4-bit SA ADC는 capacitor DAC와 time-domain 비교기를 이용함으로 전력소모를 최소화하였다. 제안된 temperature sensor는 2.5V $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 9-metal CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었고, $50{\sim}150^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 동작한다. Temperature sensor의 면적과 전력 소모는 각각 $130{\times}390\;um^2$과 868 uW이다.

Indoor localization for pedestrian is the key technology for caring the elderly, the visually impaired and the handicapped in health care districts. It also becomes essential for the emergency responders where the GPS signal is not available. This paper presents newly developed pedestrian localization system using the gyro sensors, the magnetic compass and pressure sensors. Instead of using the accelerometer, the pedestrian gait is estimated from the gyro sensor measurements and the travel distance is estimated based on the gait kinematics. Fusing the gyro information and the magnetic compass information for heading angle estimation is presented with the error covariance analysis. A pressure sensor is used to identify the floor the pedestrian is walking on. A complete ambulatory system is implemented which estimates the pedestrian's 3D position and the heading.

We have investigated a refractive index sensor based on a cladded plastic optical fiber taper. The optical transmission and sensing characteristics of the device were illuminated in terms of ray optics. The sensor devices showed that the optical transmittance strongly depends on the refractive index of the external medium surrounding the tapered region.
