Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) is quickly being adopted by aviation safety authorities around the world as the standard for aircraft tracking. The technology provides the opportunity for live tracking of aircraft positions within range of an ADS-B receiver stations. Currently these receiver stations are bound by land and local infrastructural constraints. As such there is little to no coverage over oceans and poles, over which many commercial flights routinely travel. A low cost space based ADS-B receiving system is proposed as a constellation of small satellites. The possibility for a link between aircraft and satellite is dependent primarily on proximity. Calculating the likelihood of a link between two moving targets when considering with the non-periodic and non-uniform nature of actual aircraft flight-paths is non-trivial. This analysis of the link likelihood and the performance of the tracking ability of the satellite constellation has been carried out by a direct simulation of satellites and aircraft. Parameters defining the constellation (satellite numbers, orbit size and shape, orbit configuration) were varied between reasonable limits. The recent MH370 disappearance was simulated and potential tracking and coverage was analysed using an example constellation. The trend of more satellites at a higher altitude inclined at 60 degrees was found to be the optimal solution.

항공관제용 감시자료 처리시스템에 의한 기동 표적 추적에 있어서 레이더의 측정 잡음 분산은 상태 추정기의 입력으로서, 추적 정확도에 영향을 주는 주요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 레이더의 측정 잡음 분산을 상수가 아닌 변수로 지정하여, 다중 IMM 필터의 우도함수를 통해 매 시간 측정 잡음 분산을 실시간으로 추정하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 결과 측정 잡음 분산 값을 실제 값 대비 5% 이내 수준으로 예측함을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 기동 표적 추적 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

When the speed of a coaxial rotor helicopter in forward flight increases, the wake skew angle of the rotor increases and consequently the position of the vena contracta of the upper rotor with respect to the lower rotor changes. Considering ambient air and the effect of the upper rotor, this study proposes a nonuniform inflow model for the lower rotor of a coaxial rotor helicopter in forward flight. The total required power of the coaxial rotor system was compared against Dingeldein's experimental data, and the results of the proposed model were well matched. A plant model was also developed from first principles for flight simulation, unknown parameter estimation and control analysis. The coaxial rotor helicopter used for this study was manufactured for surveillance and reconnaissance and does not have any stabilizer bar. Therefore, a feedback controller was included during flight test and parameter estimation to overcome unstable situations. Predicted responses of parameter estimation and validation show good agreement with experimental data. Therefore, the methodology described in this paper can be used to develop numerical plant model, study non-uniform inflow model, conduct performance analysis and parameter estimation of coaxial rotor as well as other rotorcrafts in forward flight.

Remote-sensing optical payloads, especially hyperspectral imagers, have particular issues with stray light because they often encounter high-contrast target/background conditions, such as sun glint. While developing an optical payload, we usually apply several stray-light analysis methods, including forward and backward analyses, separately or in combination, to support lens design and optomechanical design. In addition, we often characterize the stray-light response over a full field to support calibration, or when developing an algorithm to correct stray-light errors. For this purpose, we usually use forward analysis across the entire field, but this requires a tremendous amount of computational time. In this paper, we propose a sequence of forward-backward-forward analyses to more effectively investigate the through-field response of stray light, utilizing the combined advantages of the individual methods. The application is an airborne hyperspectral imager for creating hyperspectral maps from 900 to 1700 nm in a 5-nm-continuous band. With the proposed method, we have investigated the through-field response of stray light to an effective accuracy of 0.1°, while reducing computation time to 1/17^th of that for a conventional, forward-only stray-light analysis.

The use of satellite remote sensing in maritime safety and security can aid in the detection of illegal fishing activities and provide more efficient use of limited aircraft or patrol craft resources. In the area of vessel traffic monitoring for commercial vessels, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) which use the ground-based radar system have some difficulties in detecting moving ships due to the limited detection range. A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data. And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. This paper lastly introduce the field testing results of ship detection by RADARSAT SAR imagery, and propose a new approach for a Vessel Monitoring System(VMS), including VTS, and SAR combination service.

Automatic Video Surveillance System (AVSS) has become important to computer vision researchers as crime has increased in the twenty-first century. As a new branch of AVSS, baggage detection has a wide area of security applications. Some of them are, detecting baggage in baggage restricted super shop, detecting unclaimed baggage in public space etc. However, in this paper, a detection & classification framework of baggage is proposed. Initially, background subtraction is performed instead of sliding window approach to speed up the system and HSI model is used to deal with different illumination conditions. Then, a model is introduced to overcome shadow effect. Then, occlusion of objects is detected using proposed mirroring algorithm to track individual objects. Extraction of rotational signal descriptor (SP-RSD-HOG) with support plane from Region of Interest (ROI) add rotation invariance nature in HOG. Finally, dynamic human body parameter setting approach enables the system to detect & classify single or multiple pieces of carried baggage even if some portions of human are absent. In baggage detection, a strong classifier is generated by boosting similarity measure based multi layer Support Vector Machine (SVM)s into HOG based SVM. This boosting technique has been used to deal with various texture patterns of baggage. Experimental results have discovered the system satisfactorily accurate and faster comparative to other alternatives.

종래의 stand-off 무인항공기가 감시와 정찰에 초점이 맞춰져 있었다면, 무인전투기는 여기서 더 발전하여 극한상황에서의 전투임무를 수행한다. 미래의 전장에서 무인전투기는 유인전투기가 수행하였던 적 방공망제압임무(SEAD)와 같은 극한상황의 임무를 수행할 것이며, 임무 수행 중 지대공 미사일등과 같은 각종 위협에 직면하게 될 것이다. 현재 항공기의 전투생존성에 대하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 이것은 대부분 유인전투기의 위약도와 취약도를 개선하는 방안에 대한 것이다. 무인전투기의 생존성을 고려한 설계는 일반적으로 유인전투기와 유사할 수 있으나, 임무수행환경 및 형상과 성능에 있어 유인전투기와 차이가 존재하므로 생존성에 영향을 미치는 변수들에 있어 정량적, 정성적인 차이가 존재 한다. 본 논문에서는 무인전투기의 생존성 요소 중 위약도에 영향을 주는 요소를 유인전투기인 F-16C/D와 무인전투기 X-45A를 예제로 하여 식별하고 그 민감도를 몬테카를로 모사법을 이용하여 분석하였다

Face detection plays an important role in face recognition, video surveillance, and human computer interface. In this paper, we present a face detection system using eye detection with progressive thresholding from a digital camera. The face candidate is detected by using skin color segmentation in the YCbCr color space. The face candidates are verified by detecting the eyes that is located by iterative thresholding and correlation coefficients. Preprocessing includes histogram equalization, log transformation, and gray-scale morphology for the emphasized eyes image. The distance of the eye candidate points generated by the progressive increasing threshold value is employed to extract the facial region. The process of the face detection is repeated by using the increasing threshold value. Experimental results show that more enhanced face detection in real time.

Video stabilization is an important image enhancement widely used in surveillance system in order to improve recognition performance. Most previous methods calculate inter-frame homography to estimate global motion. These methods are relatively slow and suffer from significant depth variations or multiple moving object. In this paper, we propose a fast and practical approach for video stabilization that selects the most reliable key frame as a reference frame to a current frame. We use optical flow to estimate global motion within an adaptively selected region of interest in static camera environment. Optimal global motion is found by probabilistic voting in the space of optical flow. Experiments show that our method can perform real-time video stabilization validated by stabilized images and remarkable reduction of mean color difference between stabilized frames.

2021년 국제 우주감시학회(AMOS)에 발표된 논문에 따르면, 저궤도 우주공간의 우주물체 간 충돌가능성은 작동중인 위성이 아니라 발사체 상단, 폐위성 등 우주 쓰레기에 의한 충돌확률이 높고, 우주교통관제(space traffic management)를 통해 그 충돌 가능성을 줄일 것을 제안하고 있다. 이러한 배경에 최근 우주공간에 위성 등 우주물체의 급속한 증가로 우주 쓰레기(debris) 문제가 국제적인 주요 도전과제로 부각되고 있고, 이에 지난 2022년 9월 뉴욕에서 열린 유엔총회에 한국을 포함한 유엔 회원국들이 수직발사식 위성요격미사일(anti-satellite, ASAT) 실험을 실시하지 않도록 하는 결의안 채택을 통해 전세계 8개국(23년 6월 기준 13개국)이 ASAT 실험을 실시하지 않기로 했다. 또한, 우주 쓰레기를 줄이기 위한 방안이 민간 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는데, 이러한 우주 쓰레기 상용서비스는 필요시 군사적으로도 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 이에 우주 쓰레기 제거기술 현황, 우주위협 평가 및 궤도 상 랑데부 및 근접기동작전 사례에 대해 알아보고, 우주 강국의 우주 쓰레기 제거기술을 활용한 우주무기 개발 개연성에 대해 고찰하겠다. 그리고 미래 우주전장을 대비하기 위한 우주기동전(space maneuver warfare) 이해를 통해 새로운 우주추진체계의 개발 필요성에 대해 제언하고자 한다.
