In this paper, we suggest a localization method of factors affecting the accuracy of Air-to-Ground weapon delivery. The proposed method, called FBEL(Factor-Based Error Localization), is based on the fault localization technique widely utilized in the realm of software engineering field. FBEL localizes the major factors affecting the performance of weapon delivery. To analyze the effectiveness and the applicability of FBEL, we applied FBEL to real firing data and got the major factors caused the errors. We expect that the method could contribute to improve the quality of weapon delivery system. We also expect that it may aid improvement of pilot capability greatly, if it is applied to pilot firing training.

IEEE 802.11n의 표준화와 더불어 2.4GHz와 5GHz대역을 모두 사용하는 AP가 개인과 통신 사업자에 의하여 널리 보급되고 있다. 더불어 실내 위치 측위 등의 분야에서 위치 측정의 정확도 향상을 이유로 line-of-sight (LOS)와 non-line-of-sight (NLOS)를 분간하는 기술에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 주파수 대역에 따른 전파 감쇠 특성의 차이를 이용하여 AP와 사용자 사이의 LOS와 NLOS여부를 식별 하고자 하였으며, 해당 기술에 기반 하여 실내 위치를 측정하는 시스템을 설계 하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 LOS/NLOS 판별 알고리즘은 AP로부터의 거리가 알려지지 않은 상황에서도 LOS/NLOS를 판별 할 수 있다는 강점을 갖으며, 실내 위치 측위 알고리즘은 방 단위에서의 정확한 위치 측위를 가능하게 한다는 강점을 갖는다. 제안 기술을 Android 어플리케이션으로 구현하였으며, 스마트폰을 이용한 실험 결과를 제시함으로써 타당성을 입증하였다.

Sensor localization has become an essential requirement for realistic applications over wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this paper we propose an ad hoc localization algorithm that is infrastructure-free, anchor-free, and computationally efficient with reduced communication. A novel combination of distance and direction estimation technique is introduced to detect and estimate ranges between neighbors. Using this information we construct unidirectional coordinate systems to avoid the reflection ambiguity. We then compute node positions using a transformation matrix [T], which reduces the computational complexity of the localization algorithm while computing positions relative to the fixed coordinate system. Simulation results have shown that at a node degree of 9 we get $90\%$ localization with $20\%$ average localization error without using any error refining schemes.

Accurate relative location estimation is a key requirement in indoor localization systems based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, although these systems have applied not only various optimization algorithms but also fusion with sensors to achieve high accuracy in position determination, they are difficult to provide accurate relative azimuth and locations to users because of cumulative errors in inertial sensors with time and the influence of external magnetic fields. This paper based on ultra-wideband positioning system, which is relatively suitable for indoor localization compared to other wireless communications, presents an indoor localization system for estimating relative azimuth and location of location-unaware nodes, referred to as target nodes without applying any algorithms with complex variable and constraints to achieve high accuracy. In the proposed method, the target nodes comprising three mobile nodes estimate the relative distance and azimuth from two reference nodes that can be installed by users. In addition, in the process of estimating the relative localization information acquired from the reference nodes, positioning errors are minimized through a novel modified rounding estimation technique in which Kalman filter is applied without any time consumption algorithms. Experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the proposed system.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 이동로봇의 자기위치인식에 적용되는 비젼시스템의 왜곡된 영상을 보정하기 위한 실용적인 방법을 제안하다. 이동로봇에서 자기위치인식은 필수적인 요소이며 카메라 비젼시스템을 이용하여 처리 가능하다. 자기위치인식에서 비젼시스템은 넓은 시야를 확보하기 위해 어안렌즈를 이용하는데, 이는 영상의 왜곡을 발생한다. 또한 이동로봇은 지속적인 움직임을 가지므로 빠른 시간 내에 영상을 처리하여 자기위치를 인식해야 한다. 따라서 이동로봇에 적용 가능한 실용적인 영상왜곡 보정기법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 성능을 검증한다.

Source localization in three-dimensional (3-D) wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is becoming a major research focus. Due to the complicated air-ground environments in 3-D positioning, many of the traditional localization methods, such as received signal strength (RSS) may have relatively poor accuracy performance. Benefit from prior learning mechanisms, fingerprinting-based localization methods are less sensitive to complex conditions and can provide relatively accurate localization performance. However, fingerprinting-based methods require training data at each grid point for constructing the fingerprint database, the overhead of which is very high, particularly for 3-D localization. Also, some of measured data may be unavailable due to the interference of a complicated environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient kernel based 3-D localization algorithm via tensor completion. We first exploit the spatial correlation of the RSS data and demonstrate the low rank property of the RSS data matrix. Based on this, a new training scheme is proposed that uses tensor completion to recover the missing data of the fingerprint database. Finally, we propose a kernel based learning technique in the matching phase to improve the sensitivity and accuracy in the final source position estimation. Simulation results show that our new method can effectively eliminate the impairment caused by incomplete sensing data to improve the localization performance.

Recent increasing demand on the indoor localization requires more advanced and hybrid technology. This paper proposes an application of the hybrid indoor localization method based on a position-coded pattern that can be used with other existing indoor localization techniques such as vision, beacon, or landmark technique. To reduce the pattern-recognition error rate, the error detection and correction algorithm was applied based on Hamming code. The indoor localization experiments based on the proposed algorithm were performed by using a QCIF-grade CMOS sensor and a position-coded pattern with an area of $1.7{\times}1.7mm^2$. The experiments have shown that the position recognition error ratio was less than 0.9 % with 0.4 mm localization accuracy. The results suggest that the proposed method could be feasibly applied for the localization of the indoor mobile service robots.

This paper describes a procedure of the map-based localization for mobile robots by using a sensor fusion technique in structured environments. A combination of various sensors with different characteristics and limited sensibility has advantages in view of complementariness and cooperation to obtain better information on the environment. In this paper, for robust self-localization of a mobile robot with a monocular camera and a laser structured light sensor, environment information acquired from two sensors is combined and fused by a Bayesian sensor fusion technique based on the probabilistic reliability function of each sensor predefined through experiments. For the self-localization using the monocular vision, the robot utilizes image features consisting of vertical edge lines from input camera images, and they are used as natural landmark points in self-localization process. However, in case of using the laser structured light sensor, it utilizes geometrical features composed of corners and planes as natural landmark shapes during this process, which are extracted from range data at a constant height from the navigation floor. Although only each feature group of them is sometimes useful to localize mobile robots, all features from the two sensors are simultaneously used and fused in term of information for reliable localization under various environment conditions. To verify the advantage of using multi-sensor fusion, a series of experiments are performed, and experimental results are discussed in detail.

본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크(wireless sensor network)에서 노드들의 위치 추정 문제를 다룬다. 위치 추정을 위한 기존의 기법들은 인접한 노드들 간의 거리를 이용하여 자신의 위치를 추정하는 LGB 기법과 멀리 떨어진 노드들 간의 거리를 추정하여 위치 추정에 이용하는 GGB 기법으로 분류할 수 있다. 그러나 LGB 기법의 경우 상대적으로 정확도가 낮은 거리 측정 기법 하에서는 적합하지 않은 면이 있고, 반면 GGB 기법의 경우 장애물이 있거나 혹은 노드들이 분포한 영역이 사각형이나 원형과 같은 정형이 아닌 경우에는 적용하기 어려운 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 기법을 절충하여 부정확한 거리 측정 기법 하에서 장애물이 있거나 비정형의 영역 내에 분포한 노드들에 대해서도 위치 추정을 가능하게 하는 새로운 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안하고, 그 성능을 모의실험을 통해서 비교 분석한다.
