The problem of sound source localization is to determine the position of sound sources using the measurement of the acoustic signals received by microphones. To develop a good sound source localization system which is applicable to a mobile platform such as robots, a time delay estimator with low computational complexity and robustness to background noise or reverberations is necessary. In this paper, an explicit adaptive time delay estimation method for a sound source localization system is proposed. Proposed explicit adaptive time estimation algorithm employs direct adaptation of the delay parameter using a transform-based optimization technique, rather than...

본 논문에서는 대역 확산 (spread spectrum) 방식의 실시간 위치 추적 시스템 (RTLS: real-time locating system)을 위한 초 분해능 지연 시간 추정 (super-resolution time delay estimation) 알고리즘을 개발하고 다중 경로 환경에서 성능을 분석한다. 기존의 코릴레이션 방식은 주변에 장애물이 없는 line-of-sight (LOS) 환경에서는 비교적 정확한 지연 시간 추정이 가능하나 지연 시간의 차이가 한 칩 이내인 근접 다중 경로 환경에서는 성능이 급격히 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 도래각 추정에 이용되는 MUSIC 알고리즘을 이용하여 근접 다중 경로 환경에서도 신호의 지연 시간을 추정할 수 있는 초 분해능 지연 시간 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS 시스템에 적용하여 성능을 분석한다.

It is widely known that the leak locating of underground plastic pipelines is much more difficult than that of cast iron pipelines. The precision of the leak locating depends upon the speed of leak signal and the time delay estimation between the two sensors on the pipeline. In this paper, six different windowing filters are considered to improve the time delay estimation especially for the plastic pipelines. The time delay is usually estimated from the peak time of cross-correlation functions. The filtering windows including rectangle, Roth, Wiener, SCOT, PHAT and maximum likelihood are applied to derive the generalized cross-correlation function and compared each other. Experimental results for the actual plastic underground water supply pipeline show that the introduction of the filtering windows improved the precision of time delay estimation. Some window functions provide excellent leak locating capability for the plastic pipe of 98 m long, which is less than 1 % of the pipe lengths. Also a new probabilistic approach that the combinations of all results from each filtering window is suggested for the better leak locating.

본 연구는 길이, 질량, 시간, 온도와 같은 일부 기본 물리량에 대한 사람들의 어림의 정확성과 방법에 대해 탐색하였다. 대학 물리교육과의 구성원(학부 1학년부터 교수까지) 중 임의로 선정된 총 40명이 2종류의 대상물 세트에 대해 직관적 어림과 조작적 어림 활동을 수행하였다. 직관적 어림에서는 참여자들이 각 대상물을 직면하자마자 해당 물리량의 값을 어림하였으며, 조작적 어림에서는 별도의 대상물에 대해서 충분한 시간을 두고 다양한 가용한 방법들을 (예컨대, 길이를 어림하기 위해 연필을 활용하거나 시간을 어림하기 위해 맥박을 세거나) 동원하여 어림하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있겠다: (1) 길이, 질량, 온도에 대해서는 직관적 어림이 더 정확하였으나 시간에 대해서는 조작적 어림이 더 정확하였다. (2) 물리학에 대한 경험의 정도와 어림의 정확성 사이에는 정적인 상관관계가 존재하지 않았다. (3)일반적으로 길이에 대한 어림이 가장 정확하였으며 질량에 대한 어림은 가장 부정확하였다. (4) 사람들은 조작적 어림을 위해서 스스로의 다양한 방법을 사용하였는데, 예컨대 대상물 주변의 각종 사물들을 활용하거나 특정한 값을 갖는 마음 속의 측정 단위(즉, 30cm, 50cm, 1kg, 1근, 1초 등)들을 적용하였다.

The estimation of real-time Origin-Destination(O-D) parameters, which gives travel demand between combinations of origin and destination points on a urban freeway network, from on-line surveillance traffic data is essential in developing an efficient ATMS strategy. On this need a real-time O-D parameter estimation model is formulated as a parameter adaptive filtering model based on the extended Kalman Filter. A Monte Carlo test have shown that the estimation of time-varying O-D parameter is possible using only traffic counts. Tests with field data produced the interesting finding that off-ramp volume predictions generated using a constant freeway O-D matrix was replaced by real-time estimates generated using the parameter adaptive filter.

In this paper, we propose a new parameter estimation method that can deal with the data of multiple time intervals simultaneously. If there are common modes in the multiple time intervals, it is possible to create a new polynomial by summing the coefficients of the prediction error polynomials of each time interval. By calculating the roots of the new polynomial, it is possible to estimate the common modes that exist in each time interval. The accuracy of the proposed parameter estimation method has been proven by using appropriate test signals.

This paper shows accuracy comparison results of reliability estimation methods for one-shot systems such as ammunitions. Quantal-response data, following a binomial distribution at each sampling time, characterizes lifetimes of one-shot systems. Various quantal-response data of different sample sizes are simulated using lifetime data randomly sampled from assumed weibull distributions with different shape parameters but the identical scale parameter in this paper. Then, reliability estimation methods in open literature are applied to the simulated quantal-response data to estimate true reliability over time. Rankings in estimation accuracy for different sample sizes are determined using t-test of SSE. Furthermore, MSE at each time, including both bias and variance of estimated reliability metrics for each method are analyzed to investigate how much both bias and variance contribute the SSE. From the MSE analysis, MSE provides reliability estimation trend for each method. Parametric estimation method provides more accurate reliability estimation results than the other methods for most of sample sizes.

Background : Theoretically as the waiting-time of patient is estimated in queueing, many men and much money are needed. But being the estimation of patient s waiting-time very important in hospital service, so the continuous monitoring of waiting-time is inevitable. To verify that the estimation of waiting-time using parking time is economical, effective and continuous monitoring method and to develop utilizing the method, this study was done. Method : In parking confirmation office, the personnel of parking office wrote parking confirm time, chart number and whether medical examination and treatment finish or not in parking ticket. The next day the parking tickets were gathered and the above data were input. The input parking data were connected with the hospital outpatient file indexing chart number. Then the patient' s data for department, new patient or not, reservation or not, receipt time and payment time were retrieved. The group for finishing medical treatment were compared with that for not finishing in average time lag between confirmation and out-time for hospital. And In-time for hospital, receipt time, payment and out-time for hospital were also analyzed. Result : Confirming parking ticket, the group for finished medical treatment left hospital after 7 minutes. This result showed that the patient for finished medical treatment left hospital immediately. So parking time was reasonable to estimation of hospital-time was concluded. The time for medical treatment, diagnosis and test was constant for all patients and short for waiting time, Then I concluded that the parking time was reasonable for estimation patient's waiting time. Overall patient's waiting time was 113 minutes and new patient's time was 149 minutes, old patient's times was 109 minutes. Waiting time for reservation patient was 98 minutes and for non reservation patient was 122 minutes. The time from hospital arrival to payment was 50 minutes for the group of reservation patient and 69 minutes for non-reservation group. The time from payment to hospital leaving was 51 minutes and 56 minutes for non reservation group. The short time difference between reserved group and not reserved group from payment to hospital leaving time was due to bottle neck effect. Conclusion : The estimation of patient's waiting time using parking time was reasonable because the possession of car was common and the time for medical treatment was equal and the patient after treatment left hospital immediately. Using this method, timely, fast evaluation and continuous monitoring of the intervention effect were possible.

This paper addresses the problem of joint time of arrival (TOA) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in impulse radio ultra-wideband systems with a two-antenna receiver and links the joint estimation of TOA and DOA to the sparse representation framework. Exploiting this link, an orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is used for TOA estimation in the two antennas, and then the DOA parameters are estimated via the difference in the TOAs between the two antennas. The proposed algorithm can work well with a single measurement vector and can pair TOA and DOA parameters. Furthermore, it has better parameter-estimation performance than traditional propagator methods, such as, estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques algorithms matrix pencil algorithms, and other new joint-estimation schemes, with one single snapshot. The simulation results verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

정확한 SOC 추정은 배터리 운영 전략을 제시하는 중요한 지표로 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 기존 연구에서 검증을 위해 주로 사용되던 시뮬레이션 방식은 실제 BMS 환경처럼 실시간 SOC를 추정하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실시간 배터리 SOC 추정이 가능한 임베디드 시스템을 구현하고 검증 과정에서 발생 가능한 문제 분석을 목표로 한다. 2개의 라즈베리파이 보드로 구성된 환경은 Simscape 배터리에서 측정된 데이터로 EKF 기반 SOC 추정을 진행한다. 검증 단계에서는 온도에 따라 달라지는 배터리 특성을 고려하여, 다양한 주변 온도에서 결과를 확인하였다. 또 임베디드 환경에서 발생하는 오프셋 오류와 패킷 손실에 대비하여, 문제 상황에서 SOC 추정 성능을 검증하였다. 이를 통해 안정범위의 5%내의 오차를 갖는 실시간 SOC 추정이 가능한 임베디드 시스템 구현을 위한 전략을 제시한다.
