In a multi-camera measurement system, the determination of the external parameters is one of the vital tasks, referred to as the calibration of the system. In this paper, a new geometrical calibration method, which is based on the theory of the vanishing line, is proposed. Using a planar target with three equally spaced parallel lines, the normal vector of the target plane can be confirmed easily in every camera coordinate system of the measurement system. By moving the target into more than two different positions, the rotation matrix can be determined from related theory, i.e., the expression of the same vector in different coordinate systems. Moreover, the translation matrix can be derived from the known distance between the adjacent parallel lines. In this paper, the main factors effecting the calibration are analyzed. Simulations show that the proposed method achieves robustness and accuracy. Experimental results show that the calibration can reach 1.25 mm with the range about 0.5m. Furthermore, this calibration method also can be used for auto-calibration of the multi-camera mefasurement system as the feature of parallels exists widely.

An algorithm of 3-D particle image velocimetry(3D-PIV) was developed for the measurement of 3-D velocity field of complex flows. The measurement system consists of two or three CCD camera and one RGB image grabber. In this study, stereo photogrammetty was applied for the 3-D matching of tracer particles. Epipolar line was used to decect the stereo pair. 3-D CFD data was used to estimate algorithm. 3-D position data of the first frame and the second frame was used to find velocity vector. Continuity equation was applied to extract error vector. The algorithm result involved error vecotor of about 0.13 %. In Pentium III 450MHz processor, the calculation time of cross-correlation for 1500 particles needed about 1 minute.

The proposed rotor time constant estimation method can be applied to the direct vector control system of induction motor with flux observer In this paper the flux observer proposed by Gopinath model are used. This paper presents a new scheme for on-line estimation of rotor time constant using estimated rotor flux phase and current model rotor flux phase. The major advantage of this method are its dynamic correction capability, simplicity and accuracy as well as independence from change in motor parameter. simulation results are presented which demonstrate the effectiveness of the on line rotor time constant estimation.

Parameter estimation method of induction motor for vector control is presented in this paper. It can be easily implemented and applied to inverters in the industrial field, because it needs no additional hardware such as voltage sensors and measuring equipment. The proposed algorithm in this paper is so straightforward and practical that it can be easily implemented on the built-in controllers with little overhead. The proposed estimation algorithm has good accuracy and repeatability for parameters due to the sensitivity of estimation errors. This enables its total consuming time to be made shorter. Experimental results and applications in the industrial fields verify the validity and usefulness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a novel loss minimization of an induction generator in wind energy generation systems is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on the flux level reduction, for which the generator d-axis current reference is estimated using support vector regression (SVR). Wind speed is employed as an input of the SVR and the samples of the generator d-axis current reference are used as output to train the SVR algorithm off-line. Data samples for wind speed and d-axis current are collected for the training process, which plots a relation of input and output. The predicted off-line function and the instantaneous wind speed are then used to determine the d-axis current reference. It is shown that the effect of loss minimization is more significant at low wind speed and the loss reduction is about to 40% at 4[m/s] wind speed. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes the off-line handwritten flowchart symbol recognition algorithm by type and strength of a cross region of the straight line strokes that is extracted based the normalized dominant slope vectors. In the proposed algorithm, first of all, a connector symbol which consisted only curves is recognized by the special features, and the other symbols with straight line strokes are recognized by type and strength of a cross region, and that is extracted by extension of minimum bounding rectangle of the clusters of the normalized dominant slope vectors, and the straight line strokes of the symbols is extracted by the normalized dominant slope vectors. To confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm, the experiments are conducted for 10 different kinds of flowchart symbols that mainly used for computer program, and the number of symbols is 198. Experiment results were obtained the recognition rate of 99.5%, and the flowchart symbols is recognized correctly robust to variations, and then the proposed algorithm were found very effective for off-line handwritten flowchart symbol recognition.

This paper addresses estimation of the relative shift vector from aerial image sequences. We perform similarity function tests and decide the most appropriate similarity function for the visual navigation system using aerial images. Finally, we propose the maximum variance reference line selection method for reducing the estimation error of the shift vector.

This paper describes real-time unbalance moment compensation method for line of sight(LOS) stabilization control systems. The factors of system inertia, frictions and unbalance moment affect the control accuracy of drive systems that are equipped to on the move(OTM) platforms requiring LOS stabilization function. In case of the unbalance moment among those factors is continuously changed as variation of relative angle between gravity vector and drive torque vector. Then, consideration of the effect in real-time is very complicate. Therefore, its effect should be designed to be minimized, however, designing it almost zero is impossible in real condition. In other words, it is hard to achieve target performance overcoming stability issue of highly unbalanced systems. To solve these problems, this paper proposes calculation method of unbalance moment by using measured sensor data for LOS stabilization control and its use for control compensation. Also, kinematical converting process and control structure for compensation are explained. The effectiveness of the proposed method as variation of unbalance moment is verified under simulation circumstance modeled by assuming LOS control system with 2-axis gimbal structure.

The phase characteristic of delay line in feedfarward linearizer has been changed due to variation of operating temperature. In this paper, design method of fixed phase control circuit of group delay line using adaptive vector control is derived. To maintain transfer characteristics of nominal operating temperature, the error correlated signals, which are changed adaptively due to changing of temperature, are added to main signals. The proposed method maintains transfer characteristics under 0.06dB of insertion loss and 0.36$^{\circ}$ of phase variation in case of 1-tone(880 MHz) and under 0.07 dB of insertion loss and 0.35$^{\circ}$ of phase variation in case of 2-tones(877 MHz, 882 MHz) for 10dB input power dynamic range and +/-10$^{\circ}$ phase variation respectively.

In this Paper, the channel characteristics of the medium voltage(22.9kV) power line to analysis the broadband power line communication in the frequency range up to 30MHz was measured. With the sideband electrical coupler in the operating frequency range from DC to 30MHz, we measured characteristic impedance, noise and attenuation of the medium voltage power line, and then characteristic impedance was measured at the state of unloaded medium voltage power line by Scattering parameter method of Vector Network Analyzer. As a measurement result, Channel impedance shows 100~380$\Omega$ at the less than 15MHz and 70~230$\Omega$ at the more than 15 MHz. Noise characteristics of power line shows -75dBm at 20MHz and Narrowband interference noise was from 3 MHz to 7MHz.
