In this paper, we propose a method of tracking and capturing a moving object by a mobile robot. The position of the moving object is acquired from the relation through color-based image information from a 2-DOF active camera mounted on the mobile robot. The direction and rotational angular velocity of the moving object are estimated using a state estimator. A Kalman fiber is used as the state estimator for taking characteristics of robustness against noises and uncertainties included in the input data. After estimating the trajectory of the moving object, we decide on the optimal trajectory and plan the motion of the mobile robot to capture the target object within the shortest distance and time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the simulations and experiments.

This paper presents an efficient method to provide seamless communication in mobile wireless networks. The goal of seamless communication is to provide disruption free service to a mobile user. A disruption in service could occur due to active handoffs. There are many user applications that do not require a total guarantee for disruption free service but would also not tolerate very frequent disruptions. This paper proposes an extended staggered multicast that provides a probabilistic guarantee for disruption free service. The proposed multicast forecasts the direction and velocity for a mobile host. It is possible that data packets for a mobile host are multicasted to not all neighbor cells but a par\ulcorner of neighbor cells those the mobile host will be handoff potentially on the basis of these information. Therefore, the extended staggered multicast significantly reduces the static network bandwidth usage also provides a probabilistic guarantee for disruption free service.

This paper presents a Bagley polygon and Gysel divider using open-stub loaded transmission line. The structure of slow-wave characteristic consists of small transmission line and shunt capacitive open stub that have reduced characteristic impedance and phase velocity, so we can implement the small circuit size. To validate the slow-wave characteristics, we are implemented the slow-wave characteristic of Bagley polygon and Gysel divider at center frequency 2.1 GHz. Its characteristics are same, but the circuit size is reduced above 15 % respectively.

The system performance is analized for the optimal design of the transmission links with dispersion management and optical phase conjugation for compensating for the optical signal distortion due to the group velocity dispersion and optical nonlinear Kerr effects in the long-haul optical transmission system. That is, the effect of the relation of the residual dispersion in both half transmission sections with respect with optical phase conjugator (OPC) on the net residual dispersion (NRD) is assessed. It is conformed that the best compensation is obtained in NRD of 10 ps/nm, which is only controlled by the difference of the residual dispersion between each half transmission sections.

Mobility Anchor Points are used for the mobility management in HMIPv6 networks. Currently a mobile node selects the MAP farthest away from itself as a new MAP among available candidates when it undertakes a macro handoff. With this technique, however, the traffic tends to be concentrated at a MAP with the largest domain size and the communication cost increases due to the distance between the mobile node and the MAP. In this work, we proposed a cost effective MAP selection scheme. When leaving the current MAP domain. the mobile node calculates the optimum MAP domain size to minimize the local mobility cost at the new MAP domain considering mobile node's velocity and packet transmission rate. The mobile node then selects a MAP domain of size close to the optimum domain size calculated among the candidate MAP domains. In this way, it is possible for the mobile node to select an optimal MAP adaptively taking the network and node states into account, thus reducing the communication cost.

For inertial navigation systems, initial information such as position, velocity and attitude is required for navigation. Self-alignment is the process to determine initial attitude on stationary condition using inertial measurements such as accelerations and angular rates. The accuracy of self-alignment is determined by inertial sensor error. As soon as an inertial navigation system is powered on, the temperature of accelerometer rises rapidly until temperature stabilization. It causes acceleration error which is called temperature stabilizing error of accelerometer. Therefore, temperature stabilizing error degrades the alignment accuracy and also increases alignment time. This paper suggests a method to calculate azimuthal attitude using curve fitting of horizontal control angular rate in fixed-gain self-alignment. It is verified by simulation and experiment that the accuracy is improved and the alignment time is reduced using the proposed method under existence of the temperature stabilizing error.

We propose a real-time stereoscopic image conversion method that can generate stereoscopic image with different perspective depth using motion parallax from 2-D image and offer realistic 3-D effect regardless of the direction and velocity of the moving object in the 2-D image. The stereoscopic image is generated by computing the motion parallax between adjacent two 2-D images using the proposed method for motion detection, region segmentation and depth map generation. The proposed method is suitable for real-time stereoscopic conversion processing on various image formats. It has been verified the proposed method by comparing between the stereoscopic image of the proposed method and that of MTD.

GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) radar system can detect ground moving targets and can provide position and velocity information of each target. However, the azimuth position of target has some offset because of the hardware errors such as mechanical tolerances. In this case, an error occurs no matter how accurate the monopulse ratio is. In this paper, target position correction method in azimuth direction has been proposed. The received sum and difference signals of monopulse GMTI system are post-processed to correct the target azimuth angle error. This method is simple and adaptive for nonhomogeneous area because it can be implemented by using only software without any hardware modification or addition.

Aerodynamic sounds generated by a uniform flow around a two-dimensional circular cylinder at Re=150 are simulated by applying the finite difference lattice Boltzmann method. Thethird-order-accurate up-wind scheme (UTOPIA) is used for the spatial derivatives, and the second-order-accurate Runge-Kutta scheme is applied for the time marching. We have succeed in capturing very small pressure fluctuations with the same frequency of the Karman vortex street compared with the pressure fluctuation around a circular cylinder. The propagation velocity of the acoustic waves shows that the points of peak pressure are biased upstream due to the Doppler effect in the uniform flow. For the downstream, on the other hand, it is faster. It is also apparent that the amplitude of sound pressure is proportional to r /sup -1/2/,r being the distance from the center of the circular cylinder. To investigate the effect of the lattice dependence, furthermore, 2D computations of the tone noises radiated by a square cylinder and NACA0012 with a blunt trailing edge at high incidence and low Reynolds number are also investigate.

A new ultrasonic test method is proposed to obtain elastic constants of unidirectional composite materials nondestructively. In the proposed test method, only longitudinal transducers are used to measure wave velocities by through-transmission method. An aluminum wedge and a flat aluminum rectangular block are placed on each side of the test specimen. Oblique incident longitudinal wave is transmitted from a wedge to the specimen and the mode conversions are occurred sequentially at two interfaces between the specimen and aluminium. Measuring wave velocities converted to longitudinal waves in the rectangular block give all information to determine elastic constants of the composites. In order to determine shear stiffness coefficients, transverse wave velocity is measured indirectly from received longitudinal wave. Effects of anisotropy on waves are also considered in this study.
