The death rate of pedestrian in car accidents in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the average of OECD countries'. If a system that can detect pedestrians and send alarm to drivers is built and reduces the rate, it is worth developing such a pedestrian detection system (PDS). Since the accident rate in which pedestrians are involved is higher at nighttime than in daytime, the adoption of nighttime PDS is being standardized by big auto companies. However, they are usually using night visions or multiple sensors, which are usually expensive. In this paper we suggest a method for nighttime PDS using single wide dynamic range (WDR) monochrome camera in visible spectrum band. In our experiments, pedestrians were accurately detected if only most edges of pedestrians could be obtained.

기능성 나노소자를 구현할 수 있는 나노 소재로 0차원 구조의 양자점(quantum dot)과 1차원 구조의 양자선 및 나노선(nanorod)이 제안되고 있다. 나노선의 경우 나노스케일의 dimension, 앙자 제한 효과, 탁월한 결정성, self-assembly, internal stress등 기존의 벌크형 소재에서 발견할 수 없는 새로운 기능성이 나타나고 있어서 바이오, 에너지, 구조, 전자, 센서 등의 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 현재 국내외적으로 널리 연구되고 있는 나노선으로는 Si 및 Ge, $SnO_2$, SiC, ZnO 등이 있으며 특히, ZnO는 우수한 물리적 전기적 특성과 함께 나노선으로의 합성이 비교적 쉬워 주목받고 있는 재료이다. ZnO의 합성방법으로는 thermal CVD, MOCVD, PLD, wet-chemistry 등 다양한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 특히 MOCVD 법은 수직 정렬된 ZnO 나노막대를 합성하기가 매우 용이하다. 본 실험에서는 자체개발된 MOCVD 장비를 이용한 일차원 ZnO 나노선을 성장하였다. 이러한 ZnO 나노선의 성장은 사파이어 기판과 실리콘 기판 위에서 이루어졌으며 기판의 종류와 격자상수 불일도에 따른 상이한 성장과정을 온도에 따른 나노선 성장에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 사파이어 기판의 경우, 240도의 온도에서는 박막형상을 지닌 ZnO가 온도가 320도 이상으로 상승하면서 나노선으로 변함을 보였고, 실리콘 기판의 경우 380도 이상에서 기울기률 가진 나노선을 관찰하였으며, 420도에서는 나노선을 관찰 할 수 없었다. 또한 PL 장비를 이용한 PL 강도와 성장과정을 연관하여 생각하였을 때, 나노선의 기물기가 PL 강도비과 연관성을 가진다는 것을 측정을 통해 확인하였다.

The death rate of pedestrians in car accidents in Korea is about 2.5 times higher than the average of OECD countries'. If a system that can detect pedestrians and send alarm to driver is built and reduces the rate, it is worth developing such a pedestrian detection system (PDS). Since the accident rate in which pedestrians are involved is higher at nighttime than in daytime, the adoption of nighttime PDS is being standardized by big auto companies. However, they are usually using expensive night visions or multiple sensors for their PDS. In this paper we propose a method for nighttime PDS using a monochrome visible spectrum camera. We could verify its superiority in both performance and real?time operation to existing algorithm through tests against video data taken in several different environments.

This paper deals with a similarity decision method between the shape of hand-postures and their structures to improve performance of the vision-based hand-posture recognition system. Hand-posture recognition by vision sensors has difficulties since the human hand is an object with high degrees of freedom, and hence grabbed images present complex self-occlusion effects and, even for one hand-posture, various appearances according to viewing directions. Therefore many approaches limit the relative angle between cameras and hands or use multiple cameras. The former approach, however, restricts user's operation area. The latter requires additional considerations on the way of merging the results from each camera image to get the final recognition result. To recognize hand-postures, we use both of appearance and structural features and decide the similarity between the two types of features by learning.

In these days, welding is the most commonly used metallic connection technology and also is the fundamental production technology of the modem industrial, which is used in various areas of the industrial fields, such as shipbuilding, automobiles, airplanes and plant facilities. However welding process produces strong light, electric currents, and fume gases etc., and the welding automation is not so easy compared to the other works of manufacturing industries which produce the standardized products in large quantities. So it is difficult to weld and detect the all kinds of seams automatically by a specific sensor. In this paper the sensor applying strain gauges is used to detect the seams of triangular wave form. With the auto carriage having the sensor we proposed the experiment to weld and track the seam automatically.

For the human body shape information, body measurement techniques using a tape measure or image analysis are used. However, there is a demand for a method with high measurement accuracy and reproducibility while being simple. In this paper, domestic and foreign patent research related to body size measurement technology was conducted to identify the development trend of the related technology. WISDOMAIN DB was used to search for patents published in Korea, the United States, Japan, and Europe, and valid patents were derived by defining the technical scope of major and medium classifications and sub-categories. For the derived patents, patent trends by year, major applicants by country, and the status of technological fields were analyzed. In the field of body size measurement technology, the proportion of patent applications filed in Korea is high, indicating that Korea is leading the patent application in this field. Although the number of patent applications in the field of sensor-type measurement technology was not large, it has an advantage in measurement simplicity, so the development of related technology is expected to contribute to the improvement of measurement accuracy related to body composition analysis.

The blood pressure measurement is calculated as a value corresponding to the pressure of the blood vessel using the pressure from the outside for a long time. Due to the recent miniaturization of measurement equipment and the ICT combination of personal healthcare systems, a system that enables continuous and real-time measurement of blood pressure with a sensor is required. In this study, blood pressure was measured using pulse transit time using Photoplethysmography. In this study, blood pressure was estimated by using systolic blood pressure. And it is possible to make measurement only with PPG itself, which can contribute to making a micro blood pressure measuring device. As a result, systolic blood pressure and PPG's S1-P and P-S2 were used to analyze the possibility of blood pressure estimation.

본 논문에서는 화력을 이용하는 대형 파워 플랜트 설비의 미세먼지 발생량을 저감시키고 능동적으로 제어 할 수 있는 효율적인 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 기존의 고정형으로 설계된 집진기 방식의 고정부하량 한계점과 극복하고 초미세먼지 PM2.5, 미세먼지 PM10의 발생량에 따라 IoT센서 감지에 의해 지능형 알고리즘으로 효율적으로 저감 제어 처리량을 극대화하고, 미세먼지 발생량을 최소화한다. 또한 이 시스템의 차별성은 기존의 집진기에서 잡혀지지 않는 초미세먼지를 새로운 형태의 물질인 FAA(Fine-dust Adsorption Agent)를 통해 연료 연소 시 발생되는 초미세먼지 미세입자 자체를 크게 만들어 기존 설비 집진기 필터에 포집되게 하는 혁신적인 방식이다. 이번 연구를 통해 350도~1000도 열원에서 작용할 수 있는 화학물질 FAA 용액(Agent)을 개발 하였으며 지능형 AI 분사장치를 통해 연료에 첨가되어 연소 시 미세먼지를 20배~50배까지 볼륨을 확대시켜 기존 집진필터에 포집될 수 있게 동작된다. 이때, 기존 설계된 집진기의 한계(부하)용량에 상관없이 미세먼지 발생량을 상황인식 반응형 알고리즘(AI제어) 통해 분사량을 능동적으로 조절하여 미세먼지 발생량을 저감하는 진보적 혁신성을 지닌다.
