This paper describes on the system and method for automatically tracking and real-time monitoring the position of target ships relative to the own ship using a PC based radar system that displays radar images and electronic charts together on a single PC screen. This system includes a simulator for generating the GGA and VTG information of target ships and a simulator for generating the TTM and OSD outputs from a ARPA radar and then host computer accepts NMEA0183 sentences on the maneuvering information of target ships from these simulators. The results obtained are summarized as follows；1. The system developed this study can be used as a range finder for measuring the distance between two ships and as a device for providing the maneuvering information such as distance and bearing to target ships from own ship on ECS screen. 2. From the result of position tracking for a selected target ship tracked with an update rate of 5 seconds using the $\alpha$-$\beta$ tracker, we concluded that the smoothing effect by the $\alpha$-$\beta$tracker was very effective and stable except in the time interval until about one minute after the target is detected. 3. From the fact that the real-time maneuvering information of tracked ship targets via a local area network (LAN) from a host computer installed a radar target extractor was successfully transferred to various monitoring computers of ship, we concluded that this system can be used as a sub-monitoring system of ARPA radar.

Target detection and tracking wireless sensor network must have various signal processing ability. Wireless sensor nodes need to light weight signal processing algorithm because of energy constraints and communication bandwidth constraints. General signal processing algorithm of wireless sensor node consists of de-noising, received signal strength computation, feature extraction and signal compression. Wireless sensor network life-time and performance of target detection and classification depend on sensor node signal processing. In this paper, we propose energy efficient signal processing algorithm using wavelet transform. The proposed method estimates exact target position.

An air-to-ground guidance missile aimed to hit a main battle tank(MBT) should detect a ground moving target and estimate the target position to guide. In this paper, we detect a front ground moving target by using FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and estimate the position by forward-looking SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) via scanning certain front ground section by steering a beam with narrow beamwidth left to right mechanically. Also, by MLE(Maximum Likelihood Estimation), degree of how fast the target approach or recede from the radar can be figured out from the estimated radial velocity of the moving target. Subsequently, we generate a radar image via corrected matched filter from phase history including the radial velocity.

The roof crane system is used for transporting a variable load to a target position. At this time, the goal of crane system is transporting to a goal position as soon as possible with no rope oscillation. Generally crane is operated by expert's knowledge, but recently automatic control with high speed and rapid transportation is required. In this thesis we developed fuzzy controller of crane which has simplified expert's knowledge base for anti-swing and rapid tansportation to goal position.

In this paper, we present a methodology of sensing and control for a robot system designed to be capable of grasping an object and moving it to target point Stereo vision system is employed to determine to depth map which represents the distance from the camera. In stereo vision system we have used a center-referenced projection to represent the discrete match space for stereo correspondence. This center-referenced disparity space contains new occlusion points in addition to the match points which we exploit to create a concise representation of correspondence an occlusion. And from the depth map we find the target object´s pose and position in 3-D space. To find the target object´s pose and position, we use the method of the model-based recognition.

This paper presents a fuzzy-motion-control based tracking algorithm of mobile robots, which uses the geometrical information derived from the active stereo-vision system mounted on the mobile robot. The active stereo-vision system consists of two color cameras that rotates in two angular dimensions. With the stereo-vision system, the center position and depth information of the target object can be calculated. The proposed fuzzy motion controller is used to calculate the tracking velocity and angular position of the mobile robot, which makes the mobile robot keep following the object with a constant distance and orientation.

Since the RCS(Radar Cross Section) of target is important factor to determine radar performance, it is important to locate radar where large RCS is observed. However, the distance between the target and the radar is an important factor of the received power, as well as RCS. In this paper, it is calculated that received power from ballistic missile to radar based on different observed position and it is studied that to place radar for high detection efficiency.

Mobile robots performed various missions in various environments. In order to move to target precisely, the mobile robots need a precise position sensing system In this paper, a new high precision docking sensor is proposed. Proposed docking sensor consists of linear CCD(charge coupled device) sensor and ultrasonic sensors. The docking sensor system can measure lateral position(X), longitudinal position(Y) and angle(${\theta}$) between the sensor and flat target with simple mark. Two ultrasonic sensors measure two distances which can be converted to longitudinal position and angle. Linear CCD sensor measures lateral position using center mark of the target. To verify performance of the sensor, the sensor is applied to an omnidirectional mobile robot. Several experimental results show highly precise performance of the sensor. Repeatability of the docking sensor is less than 1mm and $0.2^{\circ}$. Proposed docking sensor can be applied for precise docking of mobile robot.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to verify differences in cervicocephalic joint position sense error after different sustained sitting postures in healthy young adults. Methods : Twenty-five healthy adults(12 men, 13 women) participated in this study. Repositioning errors of neck movement were observed in participants during joint repositioning tasks. During 2 test days with a 1-week interval, the participants performed forward head posture and upright sitting posture in random order. Both head-to-neutral(HTN) and head-to-target(HTT) tasks were performed on each day. On the first day, the participants sat slouched or upright for 10 minutes. Then, they sat upright and moved their heads at a self-selected speed with their eyes-closed to pre-determined neutral and target positions as accurately as possible. The participants noticed that when they reached a pre-determined position, the errors between pre-determined neutral and target positions and current position was recorded. The tasks consisted of flexion, extension and lateral bending. On the second day, the same test was performed after another sitting posture for 10 minutes. Repositioning error values were collected by using a smart phone-based inclinometer. The mean value for three trials was used for data analysis. A paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results : Significant differences in joint repositioning errors were found between the repositioning error after different sitting postures on the sagittal plane for both the HTN and HTT tasks (P<.05). No significant differences in errors on the coronal plane were found (P>.05). Conclusion : Cervicocephalic joint position sense can be affected by sitting postures, especially on the sagittal plane.

stereo vision system is applied to a mobile manipulator for effective tasks. The robot can recognize a target and compute the position of the target using a stereo vision system. In this paper we persent a visual approach to the problem of object grasping. First we propose object recognization method which can find the object position and pose using feature points. A robot recognizes the feature point to Object. So a number of feature point is the more, the better, but if it is overly many, the robot have to process many data, it makes real-time image processing ability weakly. In other to avoid this problem, the robot selects only two point and recognize the object by line made by two points. Second we propose trajectory planing of the robot manipulator. Using grometry of between object and gripper, robot can find a goal point to translate the robot manipulator, and then it can grip the object successfully.
