The IDRS provides detection, classification and bearing/range estimation by performing wavefront curvature analysis on an intercepted active transmission from target. Especially, a estimate of the target bearing/range that significantly affects the optimal operation of own submarine is required. Target bearing/range can be estimated by wavefront curvature ranging which use the difference of time arrival at sensors. But estimation ambiguity occur in bearing/range estimation due to a number of peaks caused by high center frequency and limited bandwidth of the intercepted active transmission and distortion caused by noise. As a result the bearing/range estimation performance is degraded. To estimate target bearing/range correctly, bearing/range estimation method that eliminate estimation ambiguity is required. In this paper, therefore, for wavefront curvature ranging, NLS cost function with curve fitting method is proposed, which provide robust bearing/range estimation performance by eliminating estimation ambiguity. Through simulation the performance of the proposed bearing/range estimation methods are verified.

In this paper, we study the estimation of angle, range and polarization parameters of a bistatic polarization sensitive frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (PSFDA-MIMO) radar system. The application of polarization sensitive array in receiver is explored. A signal model of bistatic PSFDA-MIMO radar system is established. In order to utilize the multi-dimensional structure of array signals, the matched filtering radar data can be represented by a third-order tensor model. A joint estimation of the direction-of-departure (DOD), direction-of-arrival (DOA), range and polarization parameters based on parallel factor (PARAFAC) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm does not need to search spectral peaks and singular value decomposition, and can obtain automatic pairing estimation. The method was compared with the existing methods, and the results show that the performance of the method is better. Therefore, the accuracy of the parameter estimation is further improved.

The correct estimation of the ionospheric delays is very important for the precise kinematic positioning especially in case of the long baseline. In case of triple frequency system, the ionospheric delays can be estimated from the measurements, but, in case of dual frequency system, the situation is not so simple. The precision of those supplied by the external information source such as IONEX is not sufficient. The high frequency component is neglected, and the precision of the low frequency component is not sufficient for the long baseline positioning. On the other hand, the high frequency component can be estimated from the phase range measurements. If the low frequency components are estimated by using the external information source or pseudo range measurements, a more reasonable estimation of the ionospheric delays may be possible. It has already been discussed by the author that the estimation of the low frequency components by using the external information source is not sufficient but fairly effective. The estimation using the pseudo range measurements is discussed in the present paper. The accuracy is not sufficient at present because of the errors in the pseudo range measurements. It is clarified that the bias errors in the pseudo range measurements are responsible for the poor accuracy of the ionospheric delays. However, if the accuracy of the pseudo range measurements is improved in future, the method would become very promising.

본 논문에서는 등간격 선형 배열 센서에서 초점빔형성을 이용한 근접장 거리 추정 시에 방위각 오차의 영향을 극복하기 위하여, 거리 방향 탐색 시에 일정 범위 안의 방위각 오차를 보정하여 추정 성능을 향상시키는 기법을 제안하였다. 방위각 오차는 탐색 거리가 주어졌을 때 경사법을 기반으로 빔형성기 출력값이 최대가 되도록 보정하게 된다. 모의실험 결과를 통해, 제안된 기법이 주엽의 폭보다 작은 방위각 오차를 보정하여 거리 추정 오차를 방위각 오차가 없는 경우와 같은 수준으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

FMCW 배열 안테나는 저비용 고해상도라는 장점 때문에 많은 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. FMCW 배열을 이용하여 표적의 거리와 각도를 추정하기 위해서, 우선 deramped 수신신호로부터 거리-각도 행렬을 구성하고, 그 다음에 거리-각도 행렬에 2D-FFT와 같은 2차원 주파수 추정기법을 적용한다. 하지만, 이러한 주파수 추정기법은 bias 오차를 발생시키게 된다. 그 이유는 거리-각도 행렬의 두 개의 주파수가 서로 독립적이지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 FMCW 배열 안테나를 이용하여 표적의 거리-각도 동시추정을 위한 최대우도 기반 알고리즘을 제안하고, 거리와 각도 추정에 있어서 Cramer-Rao bound에 도달함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 3대의 광대역 레이다에서 얻어지는 각각의 고 분해능 거리 프로파일(high resolution range profile: HRRP)을 이용하여 유도탄의 위치를 추정하는 방법에 대하여 제시한다. 레이다는 유도탄의 레이다유효반사면적(radar cross section: RCS)이 큰 표면에 반사되어 돌아오는 신호를 이용하여 거리를 측정한다. 하지만, 레이다에서 유도탄의 표면과 원점 사이의 거리 획득은 어렵다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 유도탄의 이동방향과 레이다의 추적 방향 사이의 각도를 알아내고, 유도탄의 표면에서 원점까지의 거리를 계산하여 레이다 측정 거리에 보상하였다. 따라서 3대의 레이다로부터 유도탄 원점까지의 총 거리를 계산하여 유도탄의 위치를 추정하였다. 전자기 수치해석 프로그램을 이용하여 유도탄 자세 변화에 따른 레이다의 거리 보상을 시뮬레이션 검증하고, 500 MHz 대역폭의 고 분해능 레이다에서 계측한 거리 프로파일을 이용하여 유도탄의 위치를 추정하였다.

The prompt gamma imaging (PGI) technique is considered as one of the most promising approaches to estimate the range of proton beam in the patient and unlock the full potential of proton therapy. In the PGI technique, a dedicated algorithm is required to estimate the range of the proton beam from the prompt gamma (PG) distribution acquired by a PGI system. In the present study, a new range estimation algorithm was developed for a multi-slit prompt-gamma camera, one of PGI systems, to estimate the range of proton beam with high accuracy. The performance of the developed algorithm was evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations for various beam/phantom combinations. Our results generally show that the developed algorithm is very robust, showing very high accuracy and precision for all the cases considered in the present study. The range estimation accuracy of the developed algorithm was 0.5-1.7 mm, which is approximately 1% of beam range, for 1×10⁹ protons. Even for the typical number of protons for a spot (1×10⁸), the range estimation accuracy of the developed algorithm was 2.1-4.6 mm and smaller than the range uncertainties and typical safety margin, while that of the existing algorithm was 2.5-9.6 mm.

In this paper, we propose target range estimation method using ghost target in the submarine linear array sonar. Usually, when submarine detect target, they use passive sonar detection to avoid self-disclosure by active sonar transmission. But, originally, passive linear array sonar have limitation for target range estimation and additional processing is required to get target range information. For the case of near-field target, typical range estimation method is using multiple information by multipath effect in underwater environment. Acoustic signal generated from target are propagated along with numerous multipath in underwater environment. Since multipath target signals received in the linear array sonar have different conic angles each other, ghost target is appeared at the bearing different with real target bearing and sonar operator can find these information on the operation console. Under several assumption, this geometric properties can be analysed mathematically and we get the target range by derivation of this geometric equations using measured conic angles of real target and ghost target.

This paper proposes the range and velocity of the object estimation method using a moving camera. Structure and motion (SaM) estimation is to estimate the Euclidean geometry of the object as well as the relative motion between the camera and object. Unlike the previous works, the proposed estimation method can relax the camera and object motion constraints. To this end, we arrange the dynamics of moving camera-moving object relative motion model in an appropriate form such that the nonlinear observer can be employed for the SaM estimation. Through both simulations and experiments we have confirmed the validity of the proposed estimation algorithm.

In this paper, we propose new adaptive search range motion estimation methods where the search ranges are constrained by the probabilities of motion vector differences and a search point sampling technique is applied to the constrained search ranges. Our new methods are based on our previous work, in which the search ranges were analytically determined by the probabilities. Since the proposed adaptive search range motion estimation methods effectively restrict the search ranges instead of search point sampling patterns, they provide a very flexible and hardware-friendly approach in motion estimation. The proposed methods were evaluated and tested with JM16.2 of the H.264/AVC video coding standard. Experiment results exhibit that with negligible degradation in PSNR, the proposed methods considerably reduce the computational complexity in comparison with the conventional methods. In particular, the combined method provides performance similar to that of the hybrid unsymmetrical-cross multi-hexagon-grid search method and outstanding merits in hardware implementation.
