Abstract: This application relates to a location tracking device and method using a feature matching. The location tracking device may include a sensor, a camera, and a controller. The sensor is provided in a predetermined object and collects sensing information including at least one of speed, direction, gravity, and acceleration of the object. The camera is provided in the predetermined object and collects image information by capturing an image. The controller calculates an initial fundamental matrix (F0) by using the collected sensing information and calibration information of the camera, detects feature points of the image information, performs a feature matching in a fundamental matrix (F) by combining the initial fundamental matrix and the feature points, and tracks a location of the object by using a result of the feature matching.

Abstract: A magnetic material-nanomaterial heterostructural nanorod is provided. The magnetic material-nanomaterial heterostructural nanorod includes a nanomaterial template and a magnetic material. As the magnetic material, the film of a mono-compositional magnetic metal, magnetic ceramic, a multi-compositional magnetic metal, or magnetic ceramic alloy can be deposited on the tip of the nanomaterial template.
