Accurate heading information is crucial for the navigation of intelligent vehicles. In outdoor environments, GPS is usually used for the navigation of vehicles. However, in GPS-denied environments such as dense building areas, tunnels, underground areas and indoor environments, non-GPS solutions are required. Yaw-rates from a single gyro sensor could be one of the solutions. In dealing with gyro sensors, the drift problem should be resolved. HDR (Heuristic Drift Reduction) can reduce the average heading error in straight line movement. However, it shows rather large errors in some moving environments, especially along curved lines. This paper presents a method called VDR (Vision-based Drift Reduction), a system which uses a low-cost vision sensor as compensation for HDR errors.

The techniques for driving trajectory calculation and driving trajectory distribution calculation are proposed to analyze the durability of ground vehicles effectively. To achieve this aim, the driving trajectory of a vehicle and the driving trajectory distribution of that are needed, in addition to road profile. The road profiles can be measured by a profilometer but a driving trajectory of a vehicle cannot be acquired effectively due to a large position error from a conventional GPS sensor. Therefore two techniques are proposed to reduce the position error of a vehicle and achieve the distribution of driving trajectory of that. The driving trajectory calculation technique produces relative positions by using the velocity, time and heading of a vehicle. The driving trajectory distribution calculation technique produces distributions of the driving trajectory by using axis transformation, estimating reference line, dividing sectors and plotting a histogram of the sectors. As a results of this study, we can achieve the considerably accurate driving trajectory and driving trajectory distribution of a vehicle.

In the GPS/DR integrated system, the GPS position(or velocity) is used to compensate the DR output and to calibrate errors of the DR sensor. This synergistic relationship ensures that the calibrated DR accuracy can be maintained even when the GPS signal is blocked. Because of the observability problem, however, the DR sensors are not sufficiently calibrated when the vehicle speed is low. This problem can be solved if we use a multi-antenna GPS receiver for attitude determination instead of conventional one. This paper designs a two-antenna GP receiver integrated with DR sensors. The proposed integration system has three remarkable features. First, the DR sensor can be calibrated regardless of the vehicle speed with the aid of two-antenna GPS receiver. Secondly, the search space of integer ambiguities in GPS carrier-phase measurements is reduced to a part of the surface of the sphere using DR heading. Thirdly, the detection resolution of cycle-slips in GPS carrier-phase measurements is improved with the aid of DR heading. From the experimental result, it is shown that the search space is drastically reduced to about 3/20 of the non-aided case and the cycle-slips of 1 or half cycle can be detected.

This study was carried out to develop turning radius measuring method and device of using a DGPS speed sensor for agricultural tractors. The measurement system consisted of a DGPS speed sensor, a data acquisition device, a touch panel, a photo sensor, a radio modem and a notebook computer. Three methods were developed: average of turning speed-time method, integral of turning speed-time method, and speed-heading angular velocity method. Best method was average of turning speed-time method which could be used with a maximum error 2.7 cm.

This paper describes the mathematical modeling, control algorithm, system design, hardware implementation and experimental test of a Manta-type Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (MUUV). The vehicle has one thruster for longitudinal propulsion, one rudder for heading angle control and two elevators for depth control. It is equipped with a pressure sensor for measuring water depth and Doppler Velocity Log for measuring position and angle. The vehicle is controlled by an on-board PC, which runs with the Windows XP operating system. The dynamic model of 6DOF is derived including the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the vehicle, while the hydrodynamic coefficients related to the forces and moments are obtained from experiments or estimated numerically. We also utilized the values obtained from PMM (Planar Motion Mechanism) tests found in the previous publications for numerical simulations. Various controllers such as PID, Sliding mode, Fuzzy and $H{\infty}$ are designed for depth and heading angle control in order to compare the performance of each controller based on simulation. In addition, experimental tests are carried out in a towing tank for depth keeping and heading angle tracking.

다중빔 음향탐사 시스템(Multibeam Echosounder system : MBES)은 넓은 지역을 소해측량(swath)하여 전자해도 제작, 고정밀 DEM 획득, 동영상 제작 등에 활용하는 최신 수로측량기술이다. MBES의 정확도향상 연구를 위한 기초연구로서 DGPS와 움직임측정센서(Motion senser)의 측정값을 비교 분석하여 선박의 동적 거동특성을 연구하였다. DGPS를 선체 전후, 좌우에 설치하여 측량한 GPS 위치 값의 수신정확도는 Roll은 ${\pm}0.0016^{\circ}$, Pitch는 ${\pm}0.0009^{\circ}$로 움직임측정센서 값의 정확도 평가가 가능한 양호한 정도를 얻었다. DGPS와 움직임측정센서의 Heading, Pitch, Roll 상관관계는 모두 정상관 관계를 나타냈다. 또한, 각 변화량에 따른 편차량의 상관관계는 정상관 관계이나 탐사선의 급회전, 진동 등과 같은 요소에 의해 편차가 발생 될 것으로 사료된다. GPS에 의한 조위변화량, Heave값은 움직임측정센서 값과 유사하며, GPS속도는 설치장소에 따라 변화가 있어 영향이 가장 적은 선박의 중심선에 설치하는 것이 적당하다. MBES Processor 장치에 입력되는 자이로, 움직임측정센서 값이 DGPS 실시간 관측 값보다 자이로는 15초, Pitch, Roll, Heave는 13초 시간차가 있어 MBES 최종값의 정확도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This paper is to develop the position error equations including the attitude errors, the errors of nadir and ship's heading, and the errors of ship's position in the free-gyro positioning and directional system. In doing so, the determination of ship's position by two free gyro vectors was discussed and the algorithmic design of the free-gyro positioning and directional system was introduced briefly. Next, the errors of transformation matrices of the gyro and body frames, i.e. attitude errors, were examined and the attitude equations were also derived. The perturbations of the errors of the nadir angle including ship's heading were investigated in each stage from the sensor of rate of motion of the spin axis to the nadir angle obtained. Finally, the perturbation error equations of ship's position used the nadir angles were derived in the form of a linear error model and the concept of FDOP was also suggested by using covariance of position error.

본 논문에서는 지자기센서와 스마트폰을 사용하여 개인이동시스템(PMS)을 구현한다. 지자기센서를 사용한 PMS 제어 시스템은 탑승자가 원하는 방향으로 스마트폰을 향하게 하면 PMS는 탑승자가 원하는 방향으로 이동한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 스마트폰 제어 PMS는 지자기센서를 사용함으로써 버튼 조작에 의한 제어보다 더 직관적으로 PMS를 제어하므로 사용자에게 더욱 편리한 인터페이스를 제공한다. 그리고, PMS에 장착된 모터의 기계적 특성을 보정하기 위하여 지자기센서가 사용되었다. 또한, 본 논문은 지자기센서 기반의 PMS의 제어방법으로 절대방향과 상대방향 제어방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과로서 제안된 두 가지 방법으로 지자기센서 기반의 PMS가 편리하고 효과적으로 제어되었다.

In recent times, motion capture technology using inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors has been actively used in sports. In this study, we developed a canoe paddle, installed with an IMU and a water level sensor, as a system tool for training and calibration purposes in water sports. The hardware was fabricated to control an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) module, a water level sensor, a communication module, and a wireless charging circuit. We also developed an application program for the mobile device that processes paddling motion data from the paddling operation and also visualizes it. An AHRS module with acceleration, gyro, and geomagnetic sensors each having three axes, and a resistive water level sensor that senses the immersion depth in the water of the paddle represented the paddle motion. The motion data transmitted from the paddle device is internally decoded and classified by the application program in the mobile device to perform visualization and to operate functions of the mobile training/correction system. To conclude, we tried to provide mobile knowledge service through paddle sport data using this technique. The developed system works reasonably well to be used as a basic training and posture correction tool for paddle sports; the transmission delay time of the sensor system is measured within 90 ms, and it shows that there is no complication in its practical usage.
