Fingerprint recognition is a biometric technology to identify individual by using fingerprint features such ridges and valleys. Most fingerprint systems perform the recognition based on minutiae points after acquiring a fingerprint image from contact type sensor. They have an advantage of acquiring a clear image of uniform size by touching finger on the sensor. However, they have the problems of the image quality can be reduced in case of severely dry or wet finger due to the variations of touching pressure and latent fingerprint on the sensor. To solve these problems, the contactless capturing devices for a fingerprint image was introduced in previous works. However, the accuracy of detecting minutiae points and recognition performance are reduced due to the degradation of image quality by the illumination variation. So, this paper proposes a new LDP-based fingerprint recognition method. It can effectively extract fingerprint patterns of iterative ridges and valleys. After producing histograms of the binary codes which are extracted by the LDP method, chi square distance between the enrolled and input feature histograms is calculated. The calculated chi square distance is used as the score of fingerprint recognition. As the experimental results, the EER of the proposed approach is reduced by 0.521% in comparison with that of the previous LBP-based fingerprint recognition approach.

In this paper, we propose the methods not only to eliminate ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference) noice for extending recognition distance, but also to utilize the the PLN for detecting starting instance of a hand gesture using electric potential sensor. First, we measure strength of electric field generated in the smart devices such as TV and phone, and minimize EMI through efficient arrangement of the sensors. Meanwhile, we utilize the 60 Hz PLN to extract the starting point of hand gesture. Thereafter, we eliminate the PLN generated in the smart device and circuit of sensors. And then, we shield the sensors from an electric noise generated from devices. Finally, through analyzing the frequency components according to the gesture of target, we use the low pass filter and the Kalman filter for elimination of remaining electric noise. We analyze and evaluate the proposed ELF-band EMI eliminating method for non-contact remote sensing of the EPS(Electric Potential Sensor). Combined with a detecting technique of gesture starting point, the recognition distance for gestures has been proven to be extended to more than 3m, which is critical for real application.

Recently, use of the heat transferring machine and systems has been increasing in various industrial fields. A key technique for constructing such process is basically to measuring temperature directly to objects established on industrial plants. Particularly, a non-contact temperature measurement is very important to realize advanced heat transferring systems. This paper presents a new measurement methodology for temperature by using USN(ubiquitous sensor networks) technique including the microprocessor unit based ZigBee communication systems. This proposed system is made to be applied in monitoring systems for non-contact temperature measurement. We designed firmware based measurement systems whose main function is to save s series of temperature data sets and send it to main monitoring systems.

안티핀치 시스템은 파워 윈도우 상승 시에 인체의 특정 부위가 창문 틈 사이에 끼여 발생하는 치명적인 사고를 방지하기 위한 안전 시스템이다. 이러한 안티핀치 시스템은 물체의 끼임을 검출하는 센서 방식에 따라 접촉식과 비접촉식 두 가지로 크게 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 접촉식의 한 방법으로 전류 정보에 의해 강화된 미국의 안전 규정 FMVSS 118-S5를 만족하는 안티핀치 시스템을 제안한다. 안티핀치 시스템에 사용된 전류 정보는 추가적인 장치의 부착 없이도 기존의 파워 윈도우용 모터 드라이브에 내장된 과전류 검출용 전류 센서를 이용하여 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 또한 전류 정보는 물체의 끼임을 신속히 검출, 반영함으로써 안티핀치 시스템에 요구되는 반전력 저감에 기여한다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 전류의 임계값이 모터 경년 변화나 운전 조건에 따라 변동하는 문제점을 개선하기 위해 핀치 상태를 효과적으로 판정할 수 있는 자동 임계값 설정 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 다양한 실험 및 시험을 통해 제안된 안티핀치 시스템이 FMVSS 118-S5를 만족함을 보인다.

This paper implements a door lock using PIR sensor based on Arduino. When the PIR sensor detects movement, the door lock device is activated and RFID tags can be used. This door rock can prevent lonely death by detecting whether the resident is in or out, and it also has hygienic advantage because it unlocks without contact by using RFID. In addition, as door locks are frequently used in everyday life, the above-mentioned implementation can also increase participation in hands-on lectures.

멀티터치 스크린 상에서의 접촉식 제스처 UI(User Interface)는 사용자가 안정적으로 손을 사용할 수 있는 정적인 상황에서 편리하게 사용할 수 있다. 하지만, 조깅을 한다거나 운전을 하는 등의 동적인 상황에서는 접촉식의 제스처 인터페이스는 심각한 사용성 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정지 및 운동 상황 모두에서 사용할 수 있는 비접촉성 제스처 기반 인터랙션을 개발하고자 하였다. 비접촉성 제스처 UI 인식 방식은 컴퓨터 센서 제스처, 멀티 터치 제스처, 자이로 센서 세 가지로 제한하였다. 그리고 본 연구를 통해 정지 상황과 운동 상황에서 MP3 플레이어를 시용할 수 있는 제스처의 어휘 목록을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점과 시사점을 논의하였다.

농작물 재배에서 토양 중의 양분을 일정 수준으로 유지하는 것은 매우 중요한 기술이다. 일반적으로 전년에 수확이후의 토양에 대해 토양중의 이화석 성분을 분석하여 일정한 시비 기준에 의해 시비처방전을 만들고 이에 따라 비배작업을 수행한다. 이러한 목적을 위해서는 토양 이화학성을 자주 측정해야 하는데, 기존의 토양유기물, 수분 및 전질소와 같은 이화학 성분 측정방법은 조작에 전문성이 필요하고 현장에서 결과 값을 알 수 없는 단점이 있었다 이러한 단점을 해결하고, 정밀농업형 기계에 맞는 실시간 처방을 위해서는 비접촉형 센서의 개발이 요구된다. 비접촉형 센서 개발을 위해 주로 사용되는 방법이 근적외선 반사를 분석하는 방법이다. 즉, 측정하고자 하는 토양에 전자파 에너지가 투입되고 반사될 때 생기는 에너지 차이를 수량화하여 토양 유기물 함량과의 상관관계로 토양 내 유기물 함량을 측정한다. 정밀농업형 센서는 일반 계측용 센서와 달리, 측정값을 몇 개의 그룹으로 구별하게 된다. 측정값이 어떠한 그룹에 속해 있는가에 따라 전문가 시스템에 의한 농작업 의사결정이 내려지고, 그 결정에 따라 변량형 농작업이 수행되게 된다.

In addition, because it uses preheating to dissolve an alloy in general, it is hard to regulate the appropriate melting temperature of the alloy and brewing time and shows the defect of the supplementation thing due to the super-heating. Once the alloy is molten and then most of the casting by attaching a sight glass or non-contact temperature sensor is suitable casting temperature the operator pressing a button to generate a centrifugal force to inject the molten alloy into a crucible in the casting ring. These results, and most of the cast temperature is too high or too low to generate a lot of casting defects do not get into a uniform cast body. In this paper, we developed a dental casting machine for high frequency using a single temperature sensor which can measure the actual temperature of the alloy than the temperature of the external non-contact measurement using a temperature sensor.

Recently, fiber optic sensors, which have many advantages are being applied in various fields by replacing conventional electric sensors. To transmit the light signals between an interrogator and a sensor head, optical components such as an optical adaptor and optical jumper cords are generally used. When signals are transmitted using an adaptor, the end surface of each jumper cord is faced together. If alien substances exist on the core surface of an optical fiber, those can cause light transmission loss and signal disappearance. For this reason, non-contact fiber jumper cords are developed to overcome the problems that require continual attention. The light transmission performance of non-contact fiber jumper cords are also evaluated. From the test results, conventional fiber jumper cords are unable to transmit the signals over 2 mm cavity between the ends of both cords. Otherwise, non-contact fiber jumper cords can transmit the signals with stability up to the cavity of 7 mm though they have more transmission loss than the conventional ones. Consequently, non-contact fiber jumper cords that have better signal stability than conventional ones in environments are highly recommended in field applications, especially if they play a role as a cable for signal transmission between fiber optic sensors.
