Electronic Navigational Charts(ENCs) are official nautical charts which are equivalent to paper charts with supplementary information. Although their main purpose is to be used for the safe navigation of ships, they also contain much information on coasts and seas which may be interesting to ordinary people. However, there is no easy way to access them because of therir specialized data format, access method and visualization. This paper proposes on implementation of SVG for the access and services of ENCs. SVG(Scalable Vector Graphic) makes it possible to make use of Vector graphics for servicing maps in basic internet browsing environment. Implement of SVG for ENC applications by this research is free of special server side GIS mapping system and client side extra technology. The implementation of SVG for ENC Applications can be summarized as follows: Firstly, SVG provides spatial information to possess searching engine to embody SVG map. Secondly, SVG can provide high-quality vector map graphics and interactive facility without special Internet GIS system. It makes it possible to use services with very low cost. Thirdly, SVG information service targeting on maritime transportation can be used as template, so it can be used dynamically any other purpose such as traffic management and vessel monitoring. Many good characteristics of SVG in mapping at computer screen and reusability of SVG document provide new era of visualization of marine geographic information.

Representation of various types of information in an interactive virtual reality environment on mobile devices had been an attractive and valuable research in this new era. Our main focus is presenting spatial indoor location sensing information in 3D perception in mind to replace the traditional 2D floor map using handheld PDA. Designation of 3D virtual reality by Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) demonstrates its powerful ability in providing lots of useful positioning information for PDA user in real-time situation. Furthermore, by interpolating portal culling algorithm would reduce the 3D graphics rendering time on low power processing PDA significantly. By fully utilizing the CC2420 chipbased sensor nodes, wireless sensor network was established to locate user position based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) signals. Implementation of RSSI-based indoor tracking method is low-cost solution. However, due to signal diffraction, shadowing and multipath fading, high accuracy of sensing information is unable to obtain even though with sophisticated indoor estimation methods. Therefore, low complexity and flexible accuracy refinement algorithm was proposed to obtain high precision indoor sensing information. User indoor position is updated synchronously in virtual reality to real physical world. Moreover, assignment of magnetic compass could provide dynamic orientation information of user current viewpoint in real-time.

시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 실시간으로 정보를 전달받을 수 있는 유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 있어서 실시간으로 움직이는 대상물의 위치를 알아내는 기술은 가장 근본적이며 필수적인 요소라 할 수 있다. 추측항법(Dead Reckoning)은 움직이는 대상물에 외부의 도움 없이 자신의 방향각과 가속도, 시간을 관측할 수 있는 관성항법장치(Inertial Navigation System)를 장착하여 이전의 위치 정보를 바탕으로 현재의 위치를 관측하는 방법이다. 또한 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)는 이러한 유비쿼터스 근거리무선통신의 핵심 기술로서 본 논문에서는 RFID에 기반한 위치 결정 시스템에 실시간 변화하는 대상물의 위치를 예측하기 위해 추측항법과 칼만필터(Kalman-filter)의 개념을 적용시켰다. 또한 RMSE(Root Mean Square Error)값을 통해 칼만필터의 적용에 따른 정확도의 향상과 각 디자인 요소들의 변화에 따라 위치의 정확도가 어떠한 변화를 갖는지를 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 칼만필터를 적용했을 때 이전보다 RMSE값이 현저히 작아지는 결과를 통해 위치의 정확도가 크게 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 RFID의 탐지 범위는 정확도에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 주된 요소가 아니며, RFID 탐지 범위의 표준편차가 작을수록 위치 정확도는 높아지고, RFID 태그의 탐지 확률이 높을수록 RMSE 값의 변동이 작은 안정된 시스템을 갖으며 위치의 정확도 또한 높아진다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper addresses solutions th the challenges of carrier phase integer ambiguity resolution and cycle slip detection/identification, for maintaining high accuracy of an integrated GPS/Pseudolite/INS system. Such a hybrid positioning and navigation system is an augmentation of standard GPS/INS systems in localized areas. To achieve the goal of high accuracy, the carrier phase measurements with correctly estimated integer ambiguities must be utilized to update the system integration filter's states. The contribution presents an effective approach to increase the reliability and speed of integer ambiguity resolution through using pseudolite and INS measurements, with special emphasis on reducing the ambiguity search space. In addition, an algorithm which can effectively detect and correct the cycle slips is described as well. The algorithm utilizes additional position information provided by the INS, and applies a statistical technique known as th cumulative-sun (CUSUM) test that is very sensitive to abrupt changes of mean values. Results of simulation studies and field tests indicate that the algorithms are performed pretty well, so that the accuracy and performance of the integrated system can be maintained, even if cycle slips exist in the raw GPS measurements.

Semantic search recently been used in the search field. POI is one of the most essential information that make up the geographic information, and many of the geographic information system has POI search function as a basic. In this study, we propose POI semantic search using collective intelligence. For this, we designed and implemented service that constructs empirical information from tag and image, and provides an intuitive spatial navigation experience. For POI search, collective intelligence platform that many users can participate to collect variety information was designed and implemented.

Airborne imagery must be precisely orthorectified to be used as geographical information data. GPS/INS (Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) and LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) data were employed to automatically orthorectify airborne images. In this study, 154 frame airborne images and LIDAR vector data were acquired. LIDAR vector data were converted to raster image for employing as reference data. To derive images with constant brightness, flat field correction was applied to the whole images. The airborne images were geometrically corrected by calculating internal orientation and external orientation using GPS/INS data and then orthorectified using LIDAR digital elevation model image. The precision of orthorectified images was validated using 50 ground control points collected in arbitrary selected five images and LIDAR intensity image. In validation results, RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) was 0.365 smaller then two times of pixel spatial resolution at the surface. It is possible that the derived mosaicked airborne image by this automatic orthorectification method is employed as geographical information data.

Marine geographical names refer to the names for the geographical forms in nature such as oceans, straits, bays, inlets, and channels as well as the various undersea form including reefs and trenches. Marine geographical forms, lying under the sea, are different from those in land and are related directly and indirectly to the safe navigation of ships, that is, property and life of human beings. Marine geographical names have not been correctly named and used so far as in the case of using the name 'Sea of Japan' instead of 'East Sea' Marine geographical names have been created arbitrarily from various sources including researchers, institutes, and academic societies, which leads to confusion and makes it difficult for those to be acknowledged internationally. This paper examines the uniqueness and technicality of marine geographical names and analyzes the efforts and status for the standardization processes in Korea.

Unauthorized users cant acquire and enough accuracy in applications of the navigation or geodesy by the single GPS positioning technique because of the measurement errors and US DoDs intentional errors. The solution of these restrictions is the Dgps technique that is to eliminate the common errors between the reference station and the desired point and can achieve a high accuracy. DGPS postprocessing system is implemented by using the offset distances between the known position of a reference station and the position obtained from GPS satellite data. The preliminary experiments include static tests and a dynamic test of cruising a ship.

Map matching technique is an essential part of the car navigation and other related positioning fields such as dead reckoning and GPS data logging upon the GIS database. This paper is to break down map matching techniques, to categorize them, and to propose a simple technique for GPS based map matching technique. For categorization of techniques, two approaches have been adopted. One is to only use geometric information, and the other is to use both geometric and topological information. Some pros and cons of each method have been described. In addition, a simple map matching technique, set forth in this paper, has been introduced for properly utilizing the advantage of GPS points after the absence of the chronic problem of selective availability, which had been prevailed recently. Some research opportunities and problems of the technique have also been discussed.
