한국형 위성항법보강시스템 및 무결성 감시 시스템 개발을 위한 기초연구로 한국지역의 평균적인 전리층 기울기 변화를 분석하였다. 전리층 판 모델을 이용한 전리층 기울기 분석 프로그램을 개발하였고, 2003년과 2005년 국토지리정보원의 상시관측소 데이터 프로그하여 일일 및 연간, 전리층 지연값 및 기울기 변화를 분석하였다. 태양활동이 활발했던 2003년의 지연값 및 기울기가 2005년 보다 크게 나타났고, 남북방향 전리층 기울기가 연 평균 약 -1.0mm/km로 동서방향 보다 2배 정도 크게 나타났다. 또한 한국지역의 연간 전리층 기울기는 약 2mm/km 이내에서 변하는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 spatial gradient를 이용한 강인한 물체 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 먼저 복잡한 환경과 다양한 빛의 변화에 의해 나타나는 에러 값 등을 해결하기 위해 기존에 제안된 입력 영상과 기준 영상에서 밝기와 색 성분을 이용하여 최초 배경을 제거한다. 배경을 제거한 다음, 그림자로 인식되어 전경 영역에 추가된 부분을 RGB 칼라 모델과 정규화 된 RGB 칼라 모델을 이용하여 제거하고, HSI 칼라 모델을 이용하여 불필요한 정보 값을 갖는 영역을 제거한다. 마지막으로, 배경으로 인식되어 전경으로부터 제거된 부분을 입력 영상의 공간상 정보인 spatial gradient와 HSI 칼라 모델을 이용하여 복구하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 복잡하고 다양한 실내 외 환경에서의 실험을 통해 그 응용 가능성을 증명한다.

Ionospheric storms, caused by the interaction between Solar and geomagnetic activities, may degrade the differential GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite Systems) performance significantly, and the importance of the ionospheric storm research is growing for the GBAS(Ground-Based Augmentation System) and SBAS(Satellite-Based Augmentation System) development. In order to support Korean GNSS augmentation system development, a software tool for analyzing the regional ionosphere is being developed and its preliminary results are discussed. After brief description of the ionosphere and ionospheric storm, the research topics on the GBAS applications are discussed. The need for ionospheric spatial gradient analysis is described and some results on the ionospheric spatial gradient during recent storm periods are discussed.

Most open magnetic resonance imaging systems have used the planar gradient coils whose inductances were minimized through the magnetic energy minimization procedure in the spatial frequency domain. Though the planar gradient coils have smaller inductance than conventional gradient coils, the planar gradient coils often suffer from their poor magnetic field linearity. Scaling the spatial frequencies of the current density function designed by the magnetic energy minimization, magnetic field linearity of the planar gradient coils can be greatly improved with small sacrifice of gradient coil inductance. We have found that the figure of merit of the planar gradient coils, defined by the gradient strength divided by the linearity error and the inductance, can be improved by proposed technique.

A new spatial localization technique using high-order surface gradient coil (SGC) is proposed. Although the Spatial Selection with High-Order gradient (SHOT) can provide a 2-D selection with only one selective RF pulse, the high-order gradient produced by cylindrical-shape coils has not been clinically useful for clinical systems due to the large minimum selection size caused by the limited radial gradient intensity. However, by using the proposed high-order SGCs located near the imaging region, the size of volume selection can be reduced to a clinically useful 1-4 cm in diameter by applying stronger radial gradient with much less gradient driving power. A 40 cm-by-40 cm $r^{2}$ SGC has been designed and constructed, and phantom and volunteer studies have been performed. Experimental results using spatially localized MRI show good agreement to the theoretically predicted behavior.

The high ionospheric spatial gradient during ionospheric storm is the most concern when applying GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) augmentation systems for aircraft precision approach. Since the ionospheric gradient level depends on geographical location as well as the storm, understanding the ionospheric gradient statistics over a specific regional area is necessary for operating the augmentation systems. This paper compares three ionosphere gradient computation methods, direct differentiation between two receivers' ionospheric delay signal for a common satellite, derivation from a grid ionosphere map, and derivation from a plate ionosphere map. The plate map method provides a good indication on the gradient variation behavior over a regional area with limited number of GNSS receivers. The residual analysis for the ionosphere storm detection is discussed as well.

It is certain that urbanization has transformed the ecological consequences severely, but urban ecosystem is not fully understood yet. Urban growth is not like a static form and it spreads spatially and temporally. Therefore in studying urban ecosystem, it is important to relate the spatial pattern of urbanization to ecological processes. Using gradient analysis, we attempted to quantify the urbanization's spatial impacts in Daejeon-city and Cheonan-city, Chungcheong-province, Korea. Because of Multifunctional Administrative City Planning (MACP), a lot of development projects are planned in Chungcheong-province, Korea. It's important to study about original cities' patterns and impacts. These results can be adopted to future city planning. So several measures such as fragmentation, vegetation index, surface temperature, population density, and income rate were computed along a 75km long and 3km wide transect. The results showed that Daejeon-city has a wider urban center, lower vegetation indexes, and higher surface temperature than Cheonan-city. Therefore in the perspective of urban environments and sustainable urbanism, it seems that Cheonan-city is better than Daejeon-city. The changes along the transect have important ecological implications, and quantifying the urbanization gradient is an important step in understanding urban ecology.

본 논문의 목적은 우리나라 도시공간구조 변화를 시계열적으로 분석하고, 지역별 규모별 그 특성을 도출하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 도시공간구조는 인구밀도경사함수(population gradient curve)를 통해 분석하였고, 분석의 시간적 범위는 자료구축의 가능성을 고려하여 2000년부터 2010년까지로 설정하였으며, 공간적 범위는 광역시를 제외한 70개 도시이다. 본 논문의 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라 도시들은 평균적으로 도심 인구밀도는 감소하고, 인구밀도 경사도는 완만해져 도심 집중현상보다 외곽지역으로의 확산이 활발하게 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 비수도권 지역은 전국 평균과 동일한 형태의 공간구조 변화를 경험하였지만, 수도권 지역은 외곽지역뿐만 아니라 도심까지 인구밀도가 함께 높아지는 현상이 나타났다. 셋째, 인구 20만 이상의 중도시와 대도시에서는 도심 집중현상보다는 도시 외곽지역으로의 확산이 우세하게 나타난 반면, 인구 20만 미만의 소도시에서는 도심 인구밀도가 높아지면서 인구밀도 경사도의 절댓값이 커지는 도심 집중현상, 즉 압축도시의 특성이 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents a multi-robot path planner for environment exploration and monitoring. Robotics systems are being widely used as data measurement tools, especially in dangerous environment. For large scale environment monitoring, multiple robots are required in order to save time. The path planner should not only consider the collision avoidance but efficient coordination of robots for optimal measurements. Nonlinear spring force based planning algorithm is integrated with the spatial gradient following path planner. Perturbation/Correlation based estimation of spatial gradient is applied. An algorithm of tuning the stiffness for robot coordination is presented. The performance of the proposed algorithm is discussed with simulation results.

To find food, homes, and mates, some animals have adapted special sensing capabilities. Rather than using a passive method, they discharge a signal and then extract the necessary information from the response. More importantly, they use the slope of the detected signal to find the destination of an object. In this paper, similar strategy is mathematically formulated. A perturbation and correlation-based gradient estimation method is developed and used as a sensing strategy. This method allows us to adaptively sense an object in a given environment effectively. The proposed strategy is based on the use of gradient values; rather than instantaneous measurements. Considering the gradient value, the sampling frequency is planned adaptively, i.e., sparse sampling is performed in slowly varying regions, while dense sampling is conducted in rapidly changing regions. Using a temperature sensor, the proposed strategy is verified and its effectiveness is demonstrated.
