This paper proposes a character segmentation algorithm of steel plate images composed of adaptive binarization by the SCW (Sliding Concentric Windows) technique, the object labelling by CCA (Connected Component Analysis), and 2D projection method. The SCW technique carries out the grayscale-to-binary image conversion in consideration of local characteristics of images. The character decision algorithm followed by the labelling technique by CCA (Connected Component Analysis) determines the character area effectively reducing the noise effect. The 2D projection with horizontal and vertical directions produces a tight bounding box for a character based on the cross points. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm segments the characters in steel plate images effectively. The proposed algorithm can be applied to the devices with limited resources due to its excellent performance and low complexity.

펜데믹, 전쟁 등을 포함한 국제 정세 변화에 따른 물류대란, 원자재가격 상승 및 환율 급등으로 인해 2023년 기준 대한민국의 물가는 크게 오르고 있는 추세이다. 물가 상승은 사업장의 인건비 부담 증가로 이어지고 있고 특히 노동 집약 산업인 농업 분야에서의 인건비 부담 문제는 더욱 심각한 실정이다. 외국인 근로자 고용이 대안이 될 수 있지만 인건비 절감 효과는 미미하기에 농업계 관계자들은 자동화 시스템 도입에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 사과 분류 작업 자동화 체계의 핵심 요소에 해당하는 사과 품질 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에서는 딥러닝 기반의 영상 분석 기법 및 무게 센서 데이터 분석을 통해 사과의 품질에 따른 등급 책정을 자동화 한다.

The start of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought about various changes in the domestic industry in general, and smart factories have spread to companies in the fields of production, manufacturing and logistics, and they are using automation equipment. Especially in the field of logistics automation, AGVs are widely used, and most of them use the line guidance system, which is the traditional AGV drive system. In addition, the demand for AGV system developers, system operators and managers, and maintenance personnel is increasing, and the installation of systems for education is expensive and requires a large space to utilize. It is a situation where systematic education is difficult. In this paper, we propose a virtual simulation-based AGV distance education model for smooth practice of trainees. The proposed model consisted of a model that can drive the AGV by analyzing video information, instead of the line guidance method that is the conventional technology. As a result of self-diagnosis evaluation, it was confirmed that the experimental group through online education had an average satisfaction level of 0.65 higher than the control group using existing equipment, and that it could be used in an online education environment.

Due to growth of electronics and control devices, automation and situational awareness systems have been applied by automobile. Vision systems with the introduction of unmanned system being actively developed, but are still high price and visual information is passed through the cable, because of cars are difficult to install. In this paper, can be installed inside the car at low-cost, simple image processing device through a wireless communication know the obstacles and the alarm system based on Zigbee wireless communication, infrared and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the situation through with easy parking cars outside the system design was implemented.

This study focuses on the development of a Last-Mile delivery service using unmanned vehicles to deliver goods directly to the end consumer utilizing drones to perform autonomous delivery missions and an image-based precision landing algorithm for handoff to a robot in an intermediate facility. As the logistics market continues to grow rapidly, parcel volumes increase exponentially each year. However, due to low delivery fees, the workload of delivery personnel is increasing, resulting in a decrease in the quality of delivery services. To address this issue, the research team conducted a study on a Last-Mile delivery service using unmanned vehicles and conducted research on the necessary technologies for drone-based goods transportation in this paper. The flight scenario begins with the drone carrying the goods from a pickup location to the rooftop of a building where the final delivery destination is located. There is a handoff facility on the rooftop of the building, and a marker on the roof must be accurately landed upon. The mission is complete once the goods are delivered and the drone returns to its original location. The research team developed a mission planning algorithm to perform the above scenario automatically and constructed an algorithm to recognize the marker through a camera sensor and achieve a precision landing. The performance of the developed system has been verified through multiple trial operations within ETRI.
