Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits sophisticated chemotaxis behavior through two parallel strategies, klinokinesis and klinotaxis, executed entirely by a small nervous circuit. It is therefore suitable for inspiring fast and energy-efficient solutions for autonomous navigation. As a random search strategy, the Lévy walk is optimal for diverse animals when foraging without external chemical cues. In this study, by combining these biological strategies for the first time, we propose a spiking neural network model for search and contour tracking of specific concentrations of environmental variables. Specifically, we first design a klinotaxis module using spiking neurons. This module works in conjunction with a klinokinesis module, allowing rapid searches for the concentration setpoint and subsequent contour tracking with small deviations. Second, we build a random exploration module. It generates a Lévy walk in the absence of concentration gradients, increasing the chance of encountering gradients. Third, considering local extrema traps, we develop a termination module combined with an escape module to initiate or terminate the escape in a timely manner. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model integrating these modules can switch strategies autonomously according to the information from a single sensor and control steering through output spikes, enabling the model worm to efficiently navigate across various scenarios.

일반적으로 거리 탐지용 레이더로 FM-CW 레이더 방식을 사용한다. 이 경우 FM-CW의 신호원으로 사용 되는 전압제어발진기의 제어전압과 출력주파수의 비선형성이 측정결과에 영향을 주게 된다. 최근 비선형성 보정에 대한 신호처리와 하드웨어적인 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기준 선호를 이 용하여 전압제어발진기의 비선형성으로 인해 측정결과에 발생하는 거리 단면의 왜곡을 보정하는 신호처리 기 법을 제안하였다. 이에 대한 성능을 검증하기 위해서 간단한 실험을 수행하였고, 결과를 제시하였다. 제안한 기법에 의해 거리 단면 왜곡의 영향 감소와 분해능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

SAR 기술은 일반 레이더 분야와는 달리 영상을 제작해야 하므로 각종 신호처리 기술들이 필요하다. 이러한 기술들은 선진국에서 기술이전을 회피하는 분야로써 향후 항공기, 위성 및 무인기 SAR 체계를 국내 개발함에 있어 반드시 확보해야 할 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 SAR 영상 제작과 관련된 핵심기술들을 연구하고 실제로 활용도가 높은 상용 SAR 위성인 Radarsat을 대상으로 ASPR(ADD SAR Processor for Radarsat)을 자체 개발하고 성능을 검증해 봄으로써 향후 운용될 각종 SAR 체계에 필요한 영상제작 기술을 확보하고 국내개발 가능성을 검토해 본다. 개발된 ASPR의 성능비교를 위해 선진국 SAR 전문 업체인 MDA 및 Vexcel사에서 개발한 SAR Processor를 이용하여 비교 영상을 제작하였다.

The presence of voids under pavements or behind tunnel linings results in the deterioration. One method of detecting such voids by non-destructive means is radar. This research is devoted to quantitatively evaluating the efficiency of such non-destructive tests with radar. As a foundation to this ongoing research, which aims to estimate the thickness of voids using radar, an analysis method based on radar signal processing using convolution technique is carried out with various void thicknesses in embedded layer which has different electromagnetic properties. The computed results were verified by comparing the test results. As a result, a proposed method in this study has a possibilty of estimating the thickness of voids with good accuracy.

In this paper, we developed a hardware and software platform of the real-time data logging system to verify radar FEM (Front-end Module) and signal-processing algorithms. We developed a hardware platform based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and implemented firmware software to verify the various FEMs. Moreover, we designed PC based software platform to control radar logging parameters and save radar data. The developed platform was verified using 24 GHz multiple channel FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) in an environment of stationary and moving targets of chamber room.

The FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) radar possesses range-velocity ambiguity to identify the correct combination of beat frequencies for each target in the multi-target situation. It can lead to ghost targets and missing targets, and it can reduce the detection probability. In this pap er, we propose an effective identification algorithm for the correct pairs of beat frequencies and the signal processing hardware architecture to effectively support the algorithm. First, using the correlation of the detected up- and down-beat frequencies and Doppler frequencies, the possible combinations are determined. Then, final pairing algorithm is completed with the power spectrum density of the correlated up- and down-beat frequencies. The proposed hardware processor has the basic architecture consisting of beat-frequency registers, pairing table memory, and decision unit. This method will be useful to improve the radar detection probability and reduce the false alarm rate.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with 1 GHz antenna has been used to locate a steel bar embedded inside laboratory-prepared mortar specimens. Four mortar specimens are made with the dimensions of 100 cm (length) x 100 cm (width) x 14 cm (depth). One specimen had no bars and the other three specimens had a Dl9 steel bar at 4, 6. and 8 cm depth. As a part of the experimental work, the dielectric constants of mortar specimens are measured during curing. As the curing time increased. the dielectric constant decreased with decreasing moisture content inside the specimen. The steel bar embedded inside mortar specimens has been successfully identified in all three cases. The results using signal processing scheme developed in this study significantly improved the output of a commercially available radar system.

We propose an algorithm for almost unsupervised detection of linear structures, in particular, axes in road network and river, as seen in synthetics aperture radar (SAR) images. The first is local step and used to extract linear features from the speckle radar image, which are treated as road segment candidates. We present two local line detectors as well as a method for fusing information from these detectors. The second is global step, we identify the real roads among the segment candidates by defining a Markov random field (MRF) on a set of segments, which introduces contextual knowledge about the shape of road objects.
