In the fire scene, it is difficult to see 1m ahead because of power failure, smoke and toxic gas, even with thermal imaging camera and Xenon searchlight. Analysis of the smoke particles in the fire scene shows that even if the smoke is $5{\mu}m$ or less in wavelength, it is difficult to obtain a front view when using a conventional thermal imaging camera if the visual distance exceeds 1 meter. In the case of black smoke with a particle wavelength of $5{\mu}m$ or more, a space permeation sensor technology using various sensors other than a single sensor is required because chemical materials, gas, and water molecules are mixed. Firefighters need a smoke detection technology for smoke detection and spatial information visualization for forward safety view.In this paper, we design the interface of the information processing system with 32bit CPU core and peripheral circuit. We also implemented and simulated the interface with Lidar sensor. Through this, we provide interface that can implement information processing system of human enhancement fire helmet in the future.

There is a limit to the current indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring method using fixed sensors and devices. A mobile robot for IAQ monitoring was developed by mounting IAQ monitoring sensors on a small multi-legged robot to minimize vibration and protect the sensors from vibration while robot moves. The developed mobile robot used a simple gait mechanism to enable the robot to move forward, backward, and turns only with the combination of forward and reverse rotation of the two DC motors. Due to the simple gait mechanism, not only IAQ data measurements but also gait motion control were processed using a single Arduino board. Because the mobile robot has small number of electronic components and low power consumption, a relatively low-capacity battery was mounted on the robot to reduce the weight of the battery. The weight of mobile robot is 1.4kg including links, various IAQ sensors, motors, and battery. The gait and turning speed of the mobile robot was measured at 3.75 cm/sec and 14.13 rad/sec. The maximum height where the robot leg could reach was 33 mm, but the mobile robot was able to overcome the bumps up to 24 mm.

컨테이너선의 컨테이너 유실이 빈번한 상황 속에서 이를 방지하고자 유실에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 분야 3 가지를 선정했다. 센서 최적화 알고리즘, 턴버클 회전 감시, 컨테이너 외부에 작용하는 힘의 합이 3 가지를 합하여 컨테이너 유실 방지를 위한 연구를 진행했다. 센서 위치의 최적화를 통해 총 컨테이너의 20%만 센서만 부착하여도 모니터링이 가능하여지도록 만들어 물리적, 경제적 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 이를 토대로 부착된 카메라를 통해 턴버클의 풀림을 관측하여 선원의 감시구역을 35% 정도 줄여주며, 라싱에서 지탱할 수 있는 상태의 범위를 넘어서는 식을 통해서 컨테이너의 유실 가능성이 어느 정도인지 확인이 가능해지도록 한다.

컨테이너 해상 유실 사고는 매해 적지 않은 수로 발생하고 있으나 기존에는 사후적 대응, 사전 대응 관점의 대응책들이 대부분이다. 그렇기에 항해 간 컨테이너 유실에 대한 모니터링이 필요한데, 선원들이 항해하는 선박에 적재된 수천 개의 컨테이너를 일일이 들여다보거나 모든 곳에 센서를 부착해 감지하는 것에는 물리적, 경제적 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구는 선박에 적재된 컨테이너들을 3차원 좌표 화하여 선박의 경사시험에서 모티브를 가져와 일정 정도의 기울기를 선박에 적용하였을 때, 기울기 중심을 기준으로 회전운동이 가장 큰 좌표에 해당하는 컨테이너들을 K-평균 군집화를 통해 최적화 위치로 선정하여 센서 위치를 최적화시켜 효율적인 컨테이너 유실 감지를 위한 기반을 마련한다.

Wearable walking assistance robots for people with complete paralysis utilize trajectory tracking control methods. In inclined environments, it is important to generate appropriate walking trajectories based on ground inclination. This paper presents the design of a shoe-mounted ground inclination measurement system using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors and Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. The proposed system measures the absolute angle of the foot using the IMU sensor and the relative angle between the foot and the ground using the ToF sensor to derive the absolute angle of the ground. Walking experiments conducted on flat and inclined surfaces confirmed the feasibility of measuring ground inclination.

Walking is a periodic motion that contains specific phases and is a basic movement method for humans. Through gait analysis, various musculoskeletal health conditions can be identified. In this study, we propose a calf wearable sensor system that can perform gait analysis without space limitations. Using a ToF(: Time-of-Flight) sensor that measures distance and an IMU(: Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor that measures inclination the heel trajectory of walking was derived by proposed method. In case of abnormal gait with risk of fall, gait is evaluated by analyzing the change pattern of the heel trajectory.

In this paper, we present a new method for real-time tracking of human walking around a laser sensor system. The method converts range data with $r-{\theta}$ coordinates to a 2D image with x-y coordinates. Then human tracking is performed using human's features, i.e. appearances of human walking pattern, and the input range data. The laser sensor based human tracking method has the advantage of simplicity over conventional methods which extract human face in the vision data. In our method, the problem of estimating 2D positions and orientations of two walking human's ankle level is formulated based on a moving trajectory algorithm. In addition, the proposed tracking system employs a HMM to robustly track human in case of occlusions. Experimental results using a real system demonstrate usefulness of the proposed method.

Recently, accidents caused by black ice, a road freezing phenomenon caused by natural power, are increasing. Black ice is difficult to identify directly with the human eye and is more likely to misunderstand it as standing water, so there is a high accident rate caused by car sliding. To solve this problem, this paper presents a method of detecting black ice centered on LiDAR sensors. With a small, inexpensive, and high-accuracy light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, the temperature and inclination angle are set differently to detect black ice and asphalt by setting different reflection angles of asphalt and black ice differently in temperatures and inclinations. The LIDARO carried out in the study points out that additional research and improvement are needed to increase accuracy, and through this, more reliable black ice detection methods can be suggested. This method suggests a method of detecting black ice through early system design research by preventing accidents caused by black ice in advance.

In this paper, we propose a novel method of denoising human motion using a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) with an attention mechanism. The corrupted motion captured from a single 3D depth sensor camera is automatically fixed in the well-established smooth motion manifold. Incorporating an attention mechanism into BRNN achieves better optimization results and higher accuracy than other deep learning frameworks because a higher weight value is selectively given to a more important input pose at a specific frame for encoding the input motion. Experimental results show that our approach effectively handles various types of motion and noise, and we believe that our method can sufficiently be used in motion capture applications as a post-processing step after capturing human motion.
