Patent number: 12614142Abstract: The present invention relates to an efficient optimal facility location determination method for convex demand position demand points implemented to arrange a plurality of facilities as close as possible to given demand locations when positions of the demand locations satisfy a convex position condition. According to the efficient optimal facility location determination method for convex position demand points of the present invention, when demand locations satisfy a convex position condition, it is possible to quickly calculate a method of efficiently arranging a plurality of facilities in a very short time. In addition, according to the present invention, even if positions of demand locations do not satisfy a convex position condition, it is possible to approximate arrangement of facilities, and to be applied to various fields such as a location selection of a warehouse or data clustering.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: POSTECH ACADEMY-INDUSTRY FOUNDATIONInventors: Hee Kap Ahn, Tae Kang Eom, Jong Min Choi, Jae Gun Lee

Patent number: 12524468Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of shortest path search in an obstacle environment. Provided is a shortest path search method including: creating an epsilon graph; and determining k closest points from a query point on the basis of the graph, wherein the creating of the graph includes: creating a node group of nodes on the basis of a point group of arrival points; creating an edge group of edges on the basis of the created nodes; setting, on the basis of an obstacle group of at least one obstacle, whether each of the nodes is a valid node or a non-valid node; setting, on the basis of the obstacle group, whether each of the edges is a valid or non-valid edge; and including, for each of the arrival points, a particular arrival point on an anchor list of a valid node closest from the particular arrival point among the valid nodes.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2023Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: POSTECH RESEARCH AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATIONInventors: Hee Kap Ahn, Hyo Jeong An, Mook Kwon Jung, Tae Kang Eom, Hwi Kim

Patent number: 12480769Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for searching for the shortest path having a minimum link between buildings in a rectilinear polygon obstacle environment, which has been implemented to calculate the shortest path having a minimum link, among the shortest paths based on a Manhattan distance from one building to another building, when buildings are given in a rectilinear polygon obstacle environment. According to the present disclosure, in searching for the shortest path having a minimum link between two buildings, a more efficient data structure can be used in terms of an execution time and memory. A building-building minimum link and shortest path search problem can be solved through only the addition of very small operations by using the segment-point minimum link and shortest path search algorithm which can be easily expanded to the building-building minimum link and shortest path search problem.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2023Date of Patent: November 25, 2025Assignee: POSTECH ACADEMY-INDUSTRY FOUNDATIONInventors: Hee Kap Ahn, Tae Kang Eom, Hwi Kim, Min Cheol Kim

Publication number: 20240151554Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for quickly and accurately evaluating a trajectory of a projectile such as a satellite launching rocket or a missile by comparing the trajectory with a reference trajectory. The trajectory evaluation method includes: acquiring time series positioning data for a target and predetermined reference trajectory information; and mapping points representing the time series positioning data on a graph into corresponding points on a reference trajectory representing the predetermined reference trajectory information while relocating each mapped point onto a relocatable section taking into account a movable range dependent on a speed of the target, and determining a maximum value of distances moved by the points while the points are mapped and relocated as a similarity between the time series positioning data and the reference trajectory.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: POSTECH Research and Business Development FoundationInventors: Hee Kap AHN, Tae Hoon AHN, Ji Woo PARK, Seung Jun LEE

Publication number: 20230195803Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a GIS geographical information retrieval method using a dynamic k-nearest neighbor search algorithm in an obstacle environment, which has been devised to search for geographical information by using a dynamic k-nearest neighbor search algorithm in an obstacle environment. The GIS geographical information retrieval method using a dynamic k-nearest neighbor search algorithm in an obstacle environment has an effect in that it can optimize a search time by considering obstacles as a range of angles, not discrete objects, on the basis of a query point, using the shortest path characteristics at the same time, and assigning priority to neighbors based on the calculated range of angles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: POSTECH ACADEMY-INDUSTRY FOUNDATIONInventors: Hee Kap AHN, Jae Hoon CHUNG, Hwi KIM, Tae Kang EOM, Seung Jun LEE
