Abstract

This paper proposes a reliable high-precision positioning system that converges a satellite navigation system and a vision system in order to resolve position errors and outdoor shaded areas, two disadvantages of a satellite navigation system. In kinematic point positioning, the number of available satellite navigation systems changes in accordance with a moving object's position. For location determination of the object, it should receive location data from at least four satellite navigation systems. However, in urban areas, exact location determination is difficult due to factors like high buildings, obstacles, and reflected waves. In order to deal with the above problem, a vision system was employed. First, determine an exact position value of a specific building in urban areas whose environment is poor for a satellite navigation. Then, identify such building by a vision system and its position error is corrected using such building. A moving object can identify such specific building using a vision system while moving, make location data values, and revise location calculations, thereby resulting in reliable high precision location determination.

이 논문은 위성항법시스템의 문제점인 위치오차와 실외음영지역을 해소하기 위하여 위성항법시스템과 비전시스템을 융합한 신뢰성있는 고정밀 측위 기술을 제안하였다. 동적단독측위에서 이동체는 이동 위치에 따라 사용할 수 있는 위성항법시스템의 수가 변화한다, 위치 측위를 위해서는 최소 4개 이상의 위성항법시스템으로부터 위치정보데이터를 수신 받아야 한다. 그러나 도심지역에서는 고층건물이나 장애물 또는 반사파에 의해 정확한 위치측위가 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 비전 시스템을 이용하였다. 위성항법시스템을 사용하기 열악한 도심지역의 특정 건물에 정확한 위치값을 결정해 놓는다. 그리고 비전시스템을 통해 특정 건물을 인식하고, 인식된 건물을 이용하여 위치오차를 보정해 준다. 이동체는 이동하면서 비전시스템을 이용하여 특정 건물을 인식하며 위치 데이터값을 만들어내고, 위치계산을 수정하여 안정되고 신뢰성있는 고정밀 위치측위를 할 수 있다.
