Estimation of accurate blood volume flow in ultrasound Doppler blood flow spectrograms is extremely important for clinical diagnostic purposes. Blood volume flow measurements require the assessment of both the velocity distribution and the cross-sectional area of the vessel. Unfortunately, the existing volume flow estimation algorithms by ultrasound lack the velocity space distribution information in cross-sections of a vessel and have the problems of low accuracy and poor stability. In this paper, a new robust ultrasound volume flow estimation method based on multigate (RMG) is proposed and the multigate technology provides detail information on the local velocity distribution. In this method, an accurate double iterative flow velocity estimation algorithm (DIV) is used to estimate the mean velocity and it has been tested on in vivo data from carotid. The results from experiments indicate a mean standard deviation of less than 6% in flow velocities when estimated for a range of SNR levels. The RMG method is validated in a custom-designed experimental setup, Doppler phantom and imitation blood flow control system. In vitro experimental results show that the mean error of the RMG algorithm is 4.81%. Low errors in blood volume flow estimation make the prospect of using the RMG algorithm for real-time blood volume flow estimation possible.

3D 카메라 기술 중에서 초점의 흐려짐을 이용한 깊이 추정은 카메라의 초점거리 평면의 물체는 선명한 상이 맺히지만 카메라의 초점거리 평면으로부터 멀어진 물체는 흐린 영상을 만들어낸다는 현상을 이용해 3D 깊이를 추정한다. 본 논문에서는 단일 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 영상의 흐림 정도를 분석하여 3D 깊이를 추정하는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 단일 카메라의 1 개의 영상 또는 단일 카메라의 초점이 서로 다른 2 개의 영상을 사용하여 초점의 흐려짐을 이용한 3D 깊이를 추정하는 방법을 통해 최적화된 피사체 범위를 도출하였다. 1 개의 영상을 이용한 깊이 추정에서는 스마트폰 카메라와 DSLR 카메라 모두 250 mm의 초점거리를 사용하는 것이 가장 좋은 성능을 보였다. 2개의 영상을 이용한 깊이 추정에서는 스마트폰 카메라 영상은 150 mm와 250 mm로 그리고 DSLR 카메라 영상은 200 mm와 300 mm로 초점거리를 설정하였을 때 가장 좋은 3D 깊이 추정 유효 범위를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

When the shell-type roller gate is partly open, at a certain height the large vibration is caused due to resonance and the vibration can cause damage to the gate. In this study, the review on amplitude of vibration and the possible resonance occurring at the time of opening or closing of gate is performed. Throughout the natural frequency analysis, the installation location of the measuring instrument was selected. On opening or closing of gate, the measurement of gate vibration is performed. The natural frequencies according to the opening range of the gate is analyzed. As a result of measurement and analysis, we proposed ranges in which vibration occurs largely and resonance is predicted as an avoiding open ranges, or the safe opening or closing of the shell-type roller gate. The application of this paper's avoiding open range estimation method of shell-type roller gate can be utilized as the basic data for the systematic and rational maintenance management of dams and submerged weirs in the future, and it is expected that this study can bring forth.

Initial alignment and localization are important topics in inertial navigation systems, since misalignment and initial position error wholly propagate into the navigation systems and deteriorate the performance of the systems. This paper presents the error convergence characteristics of the hybrid navigation system for underwater vehicles initial position, which is based on an inertial measurement unit (IMU) accompanying a range sensor. This paper demonstrates the improvement on the navigational performance oj the hybrid system with the range information, especially focused on the convergence of the estimation of underwater vehicles initial position error. Simulations are performed with experimental data obtained from a rotating ann test with a fish model. The convergence speed and condition of the initial error removal for random initial position errors are examined with Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, numerical simulation is conducted with an AUV model in lawn-mowing survey mode to illustrate the error convergence of the hybrid navigation System for initial position error.

현대 대잠전에 있어 잠수함에 대한 2차원 위치추정에 다양한 방법들이 있다. 잠수함에 대한 보다 효과적인 추적 및 공격을 위해 표적 심도는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 현재까지도 잠수함의 심도를 찾아낸다는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 최단접근점(Closest Point of Approach, CPA) 전후의 표적 접촉방위와 표적 도플러 신호 등 다이파 소노부이 접촉정보를 이용한 잠수함 심도 추정 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 표적의 상대심도는 표적과 다이파 소노부이의 청음기 간 사선거리 및 수평거리에 피타고라스 정리를 적용하여 결정된다. 이때 사선거리는 도플러변이와 표적 속도에 의해서 계산되며, 수평거리는 표적에 대한 연속된 접촉방위와 표적의 이동거리에 삼각함수를 적용하여 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시된 알고리즘의 성능은 소노부이-표적 간 수평거리 및 상대심도에 의해 결정되는 고각과 도플러 변이 값의 측정 정확성에 의해 좌우됨을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알 수 있다.

In the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) mobile communication, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has attracted great attention due to higher spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. We investigate the impacts of the channel estimation errors on the bit-error rate (BER) of NOMA, especially with the single-user decoding (SUD) receiver, which does not perform successive interference cancellation (SIC), in contrast to the conventional SIC NOMA scheme. First, an analytical expression of the BER for SUD NOMA with channel estimation errors is derived. Then, it is demonstrated that the BER performance degrades severely up to the power allocation less than about 20%. Additionally, we show that for the fixed power allocation of 10% in such power allocation range, the signal-to-noise (SNR) loss owing to channel estimation errors is about 5 dB. As a consequence, the channel estimation error should be considered for the design of the SUD NOMA scheme.

This paper presents the development of real-time estimation and control details for a computer vision-based robot control method. This is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of these points in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model is developed based on a model that generalizes know 4-axis Scorbot manipulator kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. This model uses six uncertainty-of-view parameters estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways : First the validity of estimation model is tested by using the self-built test model. Second, the practicality of the presented control method is verified in performing 4-axis manipulator's assembly task. These results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as deburring and welding.

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the problems encountered in frame-based estimation of TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) using CPSP function. Spectral leakage occurring in framing of a speech signal by a rectangular window makes estimation of CPSP spectrum inaccurate. Framing with a Hamming window to reduce the spectral leakage effect distorts the signal due to the different weighting at temporally same sample, which make the TDOA estimation using CPSP function inaccurate. In this paper, we solve this problem by reducing the dynamic range of the spectrum of a speech signal with preemphasis. Experimental results confirm that the framing of pre-emphasized microphone output with a rectangular window shows higher success ratio of TDOA estimation than any other framing methods.

This paper presents the development of estimation model and control method based on the new computer vision. This proposed control method is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of the rigid body in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model with six parameters is developed based on a model that generalizes known 4-axis scara robot kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. Based on the estimated parameters,depending on each camers the joint angle of robot is estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways, the estimation model test and a three-dimensional rigid body placement task. Three results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as assembly and welding.
