A solar power generator is usually installed outdoors and it is exposed to extreme environments such as snow weight and wind loading. The solar tracker structure should be designed to have sufficient stiffness and strength against such loads. In this paper, simulations are performed by varying the parameters such as wind directions, wind speeds and the pose of the solar panel to evaluate the effects of extreme wind on solar tracker. As the effects of wind load, maximum displacement and maximum equivalent stress in the solar tracker are calculated. Finite element stress analysis is carried out by using the pressure distribution that is obtained by prior wind load analysis due to the flow around the solar tracker. The stress analysis of solar tracker to check and/or improve structural robustness provides some useful instructions for structural design or revision of solar tracker.

This paper propose a target tracker using phase correlation. The tracker consist of a pre-processing module, a translation estimation module based on phase correlation, a fine motion estimation module applied when confidence rate could not fulfill a threshold value and a reference image update module. The fine motion estimation module measure the shift, rotation and scale of input image compared to reference using Fourier-Mellin transform. Proposed tracker was tested its accuracy and robustness using some real indoor and outdoor image sequences.

In this paper, we propose the novel tracking method which uses the weighted discriminative correlation filter (DCF). We also propose the PSPR instead of conventional PSR as tracker performance evaluation method. The proposed tracking method uses multiple DCF to estimates the target position. In addition, our proposed method reflects more weights on the correlation response of the tracker which is expected to have more performance using PSPR. While existing multi-DCF-based tracker calculates the final correlation response by directly summing correlation responses from each tracker, the proposed method acquires the final correlation response by weighted combining of correlation responses from the selected trackers robust to given environment. Accordingly, the proposed method can provide high performance tracking in various and complex background compared to multi-DCF based tracker. Through a series of tracking experiments for various video data, the presented method showed better performance than a single feature-based tracker and also than a multi-DCF based tracker.

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to detecting and tracking apartment buildings for the development of a video-based navigation system that provides augmented reality representation of guidance information on live video sequences. For this, we propose a building detector and tracker. The detector is based on the AdaBoost classifier followed by hierarchical clustering. The classifier uses modified Haar-like features as the primitives. The tracker is a motion-adjusted tracker based on pyramid implementation of the Lukas-Kanade tracker, which periodically confirms and consistently adjusts the tracking region. Experiments show that the proposed approach yields robust and reliable results and is far superior to conventional approaches.

위성용 star tracker의 국내 개발을 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로 광학계 설계 요소 선정 과정을 연구하였다. 논리적인 광학 요소 선정을 위해 CCD 센서에 결상된 별빛을 관련 전자회로에서 읽고, 처리하는 전 과정을 시뮬레이션하였다. 시뮬레이션으로부터 별의 등급과 성취 가능한 지향 정밀도간의 관계가 구해졌으며, 그 관계로부터 요구되는 star tracker의 지향 정밀도를 만족시키기 위한 최적의 광학요소를 유도하였다. 선정된 광학 요소들은 10 arcsec의 지향 정밀도를 갖는 star tracker의 광학계 설계에 사용되었다.

This paper presents a robust tracker design method that is specific to the trajectories of target aircraft. This method assumes that representative trajectories of the target aircraft are available. The exact trajectories known to the tracker enables the incorporation of the exact data in the tracker design instead of the measurement data. An estimator is designed to have acceptable performance in tracking a finite number of different target trajectories with a capability to trade off the mean and maximum errors between the exact trajectories and the estimated or predicted trajectories. Constant estimator gains that minimize the cost functions related to the estimation or prediction error are computed off-line from an iterative algorithm. This tracker design method is applied to the longitudinal motion tracking of target aircraft.

We propose a robust visual object tracking algorithm fusing a convolutional neural network tracker trained offline from a large number of video repositories and a color histogram based tracker to track objects for mixing immersive audio. Our algorithm addresses the problem of occlusion and large movements of the CNN based GOTURN generic object tracker. The key idea is the offline training of a binary classifier with the color histogram similarity values estimated via both trackers used in this method to opt appropriate tracker for target tracking and update both trackers with the predicted bounding box position of the target to continue tracking. Furthermore, a histogram similarity constraint is applied before updating the trackers to maximize the tracking accuracy. Finally, we compute the depth(z) of the target object by one of the prominent unsupervised monocular depth estimation algorithms to ensure the necessary 3D position of the tracked object to mix the immersive audio into that object. Our proposed algorithm demonstrates about 2% improved accuracy over the outperforming GOTURN algorithm in the existing VOT2014 tracking benchmark. Additionally, our tracker also works well to track multiple objects utilizing the concept of single object tracker but no demonstrations on any MOT benchmark.

An adaptive ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker is proposed for tracking maneuvering targets with a track-while-scan radar system. The tracker gain is updated on-line corresponding to the adjusted process noise variance which is obtained via time averaging of the process over a sliding window. The adjusted process noise variance is used to compute the maneuverability index for the tracker gain based on the steady-state Kalman filter equation for each epoch. It is shown via simulation that the proposed approach provides robust and accurate position estimates during the target maneuver while the performance of the conventional ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker is shown much degraded.

Star tracker placement configuration is proposed and the properness of the placement configuration is verified for star tracker's sun avoidance angle requirement. Precision attitude determination system is successfully designed using a gyro-star tracker inertial reference system for a candidate LEO spacecraft. Elaborate kalman filter formulation for a spacecraft is proposed for covariance analysis. The covariance analysis is performed to verify the capability of the proposed attitude determination system. The analysis results show that the attitude determination error and drift rate error are good enough to satisfy the mission of a candidate spacecraft.

본 연구는wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) 단말기 복조기의 주요 구성 요소인 time tracker의 구현과 설계 parameter 설정에 관한 것이다. Time tracker는 2차 feedback loop로 구성되었고 모의실험을 통하여time error detector (TED)의 이득을 기지국이 송출하는 전체 전력에서 CPICH 전력이 차지하는 비의 함수로 도출하였다. Loop filter, numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) 설계를 포함한 time tracker의 전달함수를 구하였다. 모의실험을 통하여 기지국과 단말 사이의 clock time offset, loop bandwidth를 매개변수로 하여 DPCH 전력에 따른 bit error rate (BER)를 구하였고 이를 근거로 통신 환경에 따라 설정해 주어야 할 적합한 이득 값을 제시하였다.
