A variety of methods for detecting the location of an underground water pipeline are being used across the world; the current main methods used in South Korea, however, have the problems of low precision and efficiency and the limitations in actual application. On this, this study developed locator capable of detecting the location of a water pipe by the use of an IMU sensor, and technology for using the extended karman filter to correct error in location detection and to plot the location on the coordinate system. This study carried out a tract test and a road test as basic experiments to measure the performance of the developed technology and equipment. As a result of the straight line, circular and ellipse track tests, the 1750 IMU sensor showed the average error of 0.08-0.11%; and thus it was found that the developed locator can detect a location precisely. As a result of the 859.6-m road test, it was found that the error was 0.31 m in case the moving rate of the sensor was 0.3-0.6 m/s; and thus it was judged that the equipment developed by this study can be applied to long-distance water pipes of over 1 km sufficiently. It is planned to evaluate its field applicability in the future through an actual pipe network pilot test, and it is expected that locator capable of detecting the location of a water pipe more precisely will be developed through research for the enhancement of accuracy in the algorithm of location detection.

A new type of wearable robot is developed for a disabled person with disabled limbs, that is, a person who cannot intentionally move his/her legs and arms. This robot can enable the disabled person to grip an object using eye movements. A gaze tracking algorithm is employed to detect pupil movements by which the person observes the object to be gripped. By using this gaze tracking 2D information, the object is identified and the distance to the object is measured using a Kinect device installed on the robot shoulder. By using several coordinate transformations and a matching scheme, the final 3D information about the object from the base frame can be clearly identified, and the final position data is transmitted to the DSP-controlled robot controller, which enables the target object to be gripped successfully.

An automated scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) has been designed, and built to measure in-plane vibration fields over structures. Use of optical fibers allows the compact design of a laser probe head which can be scanned over the vibrating structures. An algorithm for automated self-alignment of the laser probe is developed. The system is completely automated for scanning over the structures, focusing two laser beams at each data point until the detected vibration signal is stable, and for recording and transferring the data to a system computer. The automated system allows one to get extensive data of the vibration field over the structures. The system is tested by scanning a piezoelectric cylindrical shell and a plate excited by a continuous signal and by a pulse signal, respectively. Results show that the automated scanning LDV system can be a useful tool to measure the in-plane vibration field and to detect the elastic waves propagating on the vibrating structures.

Road signs are important infrastructures for safe and smooth traffic by providing useful information to drivers. It is necessary to establish road sign DB for managing road signs systematically. To provide such DB, manually detection and recognition from imagery can be done. However, it is time and cost consuming. In this study, we proposed algorithms for automatic recognition of direction information in road sign image. Also we developed algorithm code using OpenCV library, and applied it to road sign image. To automatically detect and recognize direction information, we developed program which is composed of various modules such as image enhancement, image binarization, arrow region extraction, interesting point extraction, and template image matching. As a result, we can confirm the possibility of automatic recognition of direction information in road sign image.

In wireless sensor networks, one of most common location detection methods that do not require additional devices such as GPS and ultrasonic sensor, is the location detection method based on received signal strength. However, measured received signal strength will fluctuate over time mainly due to physical radio channel characteristics between nodes, which subsequently will cause errors to measured distance between nodes. Since these contaminated distance data are utilized to detect the location of unknown node, there will be accumulated errors in the location of unknown node. In order to overcome the limitation of the location detection method based on received signal strength, we propose a location scheme in which reliability information of distance data as well as distance data between nodes are utilized to estimate the location of unknown node. Through simulation, it is shown that the proposed scheme can accomplish 30% capacity improvement.

The number of one person households has grown steadily over the recent past and the population of lonely and unnoticed death are also observed. The phenomenon of one person households has been occurred. In the dark side of society, the remarkable number of lonely and unnoticed death are reported among different age-groups. We propose an unusual event detection method which may give a remarkable solution to reduce the number of the death rete for people dying alone and remaining undiscovered for a long period of time. The unusual event detection method we suggested to identify abnormal user behavior in their lives using vision pattern, audio pattern, and dust pattern algorithms. Individually proposed pattern algorithms have disadvantages of not being able to detect when they leave the coverage area. We utilized a fusion method to improve the accuracy performance of each pattern algorithm and evaluated the technique with multiple user behavior patterns in indoor areas.

At the present stage of the fourth industrial revolution, machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly developing, and there is a movement to apply machine learning technology in the security field. Malicious code, including new and transformed, generates an average of 390,000 a day worldwide. Statistics show that security companies ignore or miss 31 percent of alarms. As many malicious codes are generated, it is becoming difficult for humans to detect all malicious codes. As a result, research on the detection of malware and network intrusion events through machine learning is being actively conducted in academia and industry. In international conferences and journals, research on security data analysis using deep learning, a field of machine learning, is presented. have. However, these papers focus on detection accuracy and modify several parameters to improve detection accuracy but do not consider the ratio of dataset. Therefore, this paper aims to reduce the cost and resources of many machine learning research by finding the ratio of dataset that can derive the highest detection accuracy in CNN Mobile net-based malware detection model.

We have applied an advanced multi-aperture indexing photometry and sophisticated de-trending method to existing Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) data sets. TAOS, a wide-field ($3^{\circ}{\times}3^{\circ}$) and rapid photometry (5Hz) survey, is designed to detect small objects in the Kuiper Belt. Since TAOS has fast and multiple exposures per zipper mode image, point spread function (PSF) varies in a given image. Selecting appropriate aperture among various size apertures allows us to reflect these variations in each light curve. The survey data turned out to contain various trends such as telescope vibration, CCD noise, and unstable local weather. We select multiple sets of stars using a hierarchical clustering algorithm in such a way that the light curves in each cluster show strong correlations between them. We then determine a primary trend (PT) per cluster using a weighted sum of the normalized light curves, and we use the constructed PTs to remove trends in individual light curves. After removing the trend, we can get each synthetic light curve of star that has much higher signal-to-noise ratio. We compare the efficiency of the synthetic light curves with the efficiency of light curves made by previous existing photometry pipelines. Our photometric method is able to restore subtle brightness variation that tends to be missed in conventional aperture photometric methods, and can be applied to other wide-field surveys suffering from PSF variations and trends. We are developing an analysis package for the next generation TAOS survey (TAOS II) based on the current experiments.

One of the most important topics about the safety of electrical and electronic system is the reliability of the wiring system. The Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry(TFDR) is a state-of-the-art system for detecting and estimating of the fault on a wiring. In this paper, We've considered the load resistance measurement on a coaxial cable using TFDR in a way of expanded application. The TFDR system was built using commercial Pci extensions for Instrumentation(PXI) and LabVIEW. The proposed real time TFDR system consisted of the reference signal design, signal generation, signal acquisition, algorithm execution and results display part. To implement real time system, all of the parts were programmed by the LabVIEW which is one of the graphical programming languages. Using the application software implemented by the LabVIEW, we were able to design a proper reference signal which is suitable for target cable and control not only the arbitrary waveform generator in the signal generation part but alto the digital storage oscilloscope in the signal acquisition part. By using the TFDR real time system with the terminal resistor on the target cable, we carried out load impedance measurement experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed system are able not only to detect the location of impedance discontinuity on the cable but also to estimate the load resistance with high accuracy.
