Using RFID for Accurate Positioning

Journal of Global Positioning Systems, 2004
In Korea, telematics is regarded as the technology to enhance and make everyday-driving experience more comfortable and safer. An essential part of the telematics is navigation and it is mainly based on GPS as the choice of positioning technology. The accuracy of GPS, however, is approximately ten to twenty meters.

Accurate positioning of bicycles for improved safety

2018 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), 2018
Cyclists are not well protected in accidents with other road users, and there are few active safety systems available for bicycles. In this study we have evaluated the use of inexpensive Real-Time Kinematic Satellite Navigation (RTK-SN) receivers with multiple satellite constellations together with dead reckoning for accurate positioning of bicycles to

The positive effects of accurate documentaiton

British Journal of Healthcare Management, 2013
Medical notes are often the only record of interaction between a doctor and patient and play a critical role in the investigation of complaints and medico-legal actions. With the introduction of the European Working Time Directive leading to increased shift work, the importance of documentation and handover has been highlighted to reduce the ...

Positive, accurate animal identification

Animal Reproduction Science, 2003
Positive, accurate identification of animals and their products would be very helpful in livestock commerce, prevention of theft and fraud and in tracing animals and products to origin. Food safety, animal health, and prevention of epidemics, would be enhanced by combining identification with location. Identification may be by electronic chips, iris or

Autonomous Quadrotor for accurate positioning

IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine, 2017
Surveillance missions in vast, difficult access environments are responsible for logistic difficulties in comparison to using an in loco monitoring team. For this and many other reasons, solutions with robotic platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), present economic advantages.

Accurate Positions for MCG Galaxies

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1998
ABSTRACT We have measured accurate celestial coordinates for 4741 extragalactic objects, primarily drawn from a list of MCG galaxies with no recently published accurate positions. The standard deviations in the new positions depend slightly on the measurement method but are on the order of 1 \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage ...

An Accurate Gaze Position Indicator for Strabismus Measurement

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1973
A small bit of cardboard with a 2-mm pin hole can be taped to the spectacle lens to form a peep sight through which gaze must be maintained. This allows reproduction of frontal plane gaze position with an accuracy of one degree. In turn, this allows accurate reproduction of alignment measurements, which otherwise would vary with change of gaze position

An accurate contactless position sensor with planar resonators

2016 IEEE SENSORS, 2016
In this paper, we report the development of a contactless position sensor with thin and planar structures for both sensor and target. The target is designed to be a compact resonator with resonance near the operating frequency, which improves the signal strength and increases the sensing range.

Active Landmark Configuration for Accurate Nano-Positioning

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2013
The spatial uncertainties of atom force microscopy (AFM) tip position hinder the AFM based nano-manipulation. Although the landmark based tip localization can be applied to improve the tip position accuracy in the task space, the PZT nonlinearity and system drift are still a challenge to compensation performance when the tip is positioned far from the ...

Scalable and accurate indoor positioning on mobile devices

International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation, 2013
Location-based services (LBS) are an integral part of the mobile ecosystem today, relying on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other technologies. However, while these technologies have been highly successful at positioning outdoors, they either fail to obtain a fix or do not provide the necessary accuracy indoors. In this paper, we will describe
