A parabolic dish concentrator used in a high temperature application of solar energy tracks the sun's movement by two axis sun tracking system. In such a system, sun tracking performance affects the system efficiency directly. Generally the higher the tracking accuracy is, the better the system performance is. A large number of parabolic dish type concentrators has been developed and implemented in the world. However none of them clearly provided a qualitative method of how the accuracy of the sun tracking system can be evaluated. The work presented here is the evaluation of sun tracking performance of parabolic dish concentrator, which follows the sun's movement by the sensor, using a computer vision system. We install a camera on the parabolic dish concentrator. While the concentrator follows the sun, sun's images are captured continuously. Then the performance of sun tracking system was evaluated by analyzing the variation of the position of the sun in the captured images.

본 논문은 위상배열 레이더를 사용하여 실제표적을 추적하였을 때 추적 정확도를 평가하기 위한 알고리듬 연구이다. 실표적에 대한 추적 정확도를 평가하기 위해서는 실표적 위치에 대한 정보가 있어야 하지만, 시험비용 및 시험시간의 증대로 인해 위상배열 레이더에서 획득된 데이터만을 사용하여 실표적의 정확도를 평가하는 알고리듬을 제시한다. 이러한 평가 알고리듬은 위상배열 레이더에서 사용된 ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ 추적필터의 잔차로부터 추적 정확도의 지표인 거리오차와 각도 오차의 표준편차를 도출한 결과이며, 통계적 방법으로 sample variance 개념을 사용하게 된다.

In this paper, a novel method called location-based delivery (LBD), which combines the short message service (SMS) and global position system (GPS), is proposed, and further, a realistic system for tracking a target's movement is developed. LBD reduces the number of short message transmissions while maintaining the location tracking accuracy within the acceptable range. The proposed approach, LBD, consists of three primary features: Short message format, location prediction, and dynamic threshold. The defined short message format is proprietary. Location prediction is performed by using the current location, moving speed, and bearing of the target to predict its next location. When the distance between the predicted location and the actual location exceeds a certain threshold, the target transmits a short message to the tracker to update its current location. The threshold is dynamically adjusted to maintain the location tracking accuracy and the number of short messages on the basis of the moving speed of the target. The experimental results show that LBD, indeed, outperforms other methods because it satisfactorily maintains the location tracking accuracy with relatively fewer messages.

Tracking system is essential for Image Guided Surgery(IGS). Optical Tracking System(OTS) is widely used to IGS for its high accuracy and easy usage. However, OTS doesn't work when occlusion of marker occurs. In this paper sensor data fusion with OTS and Inertial Navigation System(INS) is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed system improves the accuracy of tracking system by eliminating gaussian error of the sensor and supplements the disadvantages of OTS and IMU through sensor fusion based on Kalman filter. Also, sensor calibration method that improves the accuracy is introduced. The performed experiment verifies the effectualness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we present the result of preliminary design of tracking mount for ARGO-M which is a movable satellite laser ranging (SLR) system developed by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The tracking mount consists of a couple of core parts such as driving motors, encoders and bearings, and the requirements of each parts are determined on the basis of the technical consideration. 2D and 3D models for tracking mount were preliminarily designed using the selected core parts. In order to evaluate the validity of the preliminarily design, the simulator to test the elevation axis was designed and manufactured. The test to check the tracking performance and system accuracy of the simulator was performed, and it was confirmed that the preliminary design meets the operating specifications. Additionally, it was found that the repetitive errors and hysteresis errors need to be improved by the additional control algorithm.

Tracking is one of the most important pre-required task for many application such as human-computer interaction through gesture and face recognition, motion analysis, visual servoing, augment reality, industrial assembly and robot obstacle avoidance. Recently, 3D information of object is required in realtime for many aforementioned applications. 3D tracking is difficult problem to solve because during the image formation process of the camera, explicit 3D information about objects in the scene is lost. Recently, many vision system use stereo camera especially for 3D tracking. The 3D feature based tracking(3DFBT) which is on of the 3D tracking system using stereo vision have many advantage compare to other tracking methods. If we assumed the correspondence problem which is one of the subproblem of 3DFBT is solved, the accuracy of tracking depends on the accuracy of camera calibration. However, The existing calibration method based on accurate camera model so that modelling error and weakness to lens distortion are embedded. Therefore, this thesis proposes 3D feature based tracking method using SVM which is used to solve reconstruction problem.

대공표적을 탐지/추적하기 위해 운용되는 레이다는 임무 특성에 따라 표적의 탐지를 목적으로 안테나 구동장치가 회전하며 운용되는 탐색레이다와 표적의 예측 위치에 주기적으로 빔을 조향하여 추적하는 추적레이다로 구분한다. 일반적으로 추적레이다는 탐색레이다에 비해 표적 정보 획득 주기가 짧은 특징이 있는데 이러한 특징으로 인하여 추적 정확도는 탐색레이다에 비해 좋지만 짧은 획득 주기로 인한 추적 초기 속도 오차로 인해 표적 예측 오차가 커짐에 따라 항적 연관에 실패하거나 빔 조향을 정상적으로 수행하지 못하여 추적 초반에 표적 추적이 실패하는 경우가 많이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 기술한 추적레이다의 추적 초반 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 기존 표적 추적을 위해 활용했던 측정치의 위치 정보(거리, 방위각, 고각) 외에 표적 시선속도 측정값을 활용한 초기 표적 정보 정확도 향상 알고리즘을 제안하고 기존에 추적 초기화 시 많이 사용하는 알고리즘인 Two Point Differential 알고리즘과 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

There have been many solar tracking systems developed for the high accuracy in solar tracking. One of the key components of any motion control system is software. LabVIEW offers an ideal combination of flexibility, ease-of-use and well-integration with other I/O pieces for developing solar tracking system. Real-time solar positions which vary with GPS's data are used simultaneously to control the solar tracker by a chain of operating modes between the open and closed loops. This paper introduces a step by step procedure for the fabrication and performance assessment of a precision solar tracking system. The system developed in this study consists of motion controllers, motor drives, step-motors, feedback devices and application. CRD sensors are applied for the solar tracking system which play a primary role in poor conditions for tracking due to a gear backlash and a strong wind. Mini-dish was used as a concentrator for collecting sun light. The solar position data, in terms of azimuth and elevation, sunrise and sunset times was compared with those of KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute). The results presented in this paper demonstrate the accuracy of the present system in solar tracking and utilization.
