In this paper, a magneto-optic modulator has been designed by using single crystal BSO and polycrystal ZnSe as Faraday cells. And practical core-type optical current sensors using pure iron and permalloy have been prepared and experimented. In order to obtain efficient magnetic field detection, LED(NEC OD08358, 0.87 $\mu$m) was used as optical source, PIN-PD(OD-8454)as optical receiver and multi-mode optical fiber (100/140$\mu$m) as transmission line. The characteristics matrix of the optical element was calculated by Stokes parameter, and optic modulation characteristics equations were derived by Muller matrix. Electromagnetic analysis program (FLUX 2D, micro VAX 3600) by finite element method was used to find the magnetic flux density around the core. The measuring error of the output voltage to input current has been masured below 5% in the range of 50A to 1000A. As the temperature was changed from -20$^{\circ}C$ to 60$^{\circ}C$, the maximum measurement error of the optical output has been found to be 0.5% at 60$^{\circ}C$. These experimental results show good temperature and linearity characteristics. The SNR of the overall system was 47dB in case of 600A (250.2 Oe) conductor current and the system has good noise immunity.

Respiration rate is one of the important vital signs. Photo-plethysmography (PPG) measurement especially on a finger has been widely used in pulse oximetry and also used in estimating respiration rate. It is well known that PPG contains respiration-induced intensity variation (RIIV) signal. However, the accuracy of finger PPG method has been controversial. We introduced a new technique of enhancing motion artifact by respiration. This was achieved simply by measuring PPG on the thorax. We examined the accuracy of these two PPG methods by comparing with two existing methods based on thoracic volume and nostril temperature changes. PPG sensing on finger tip, which is the most common site of measurement, produced 6.1 % error. On the other hand, our method of PPG sensing on the thorax achieved 0.4 % error which was a significant improvement. Finger PPG is sensitive to motion artifact and it is difficult to recover fully small respiratory signal buried in waveform dominated by absorption due to blood volume changes. Thorax PPG is poor to represent blood volumes changes since it contains substantial motion artifact due to respiration. Ironically, this inferior quality ensures higher accuracy in terms of respiration measurement. Extreme low-cost and small-sized LED/silicon detector and non-constrained reflection measurement provide a great candidate for respiration estimation in ubiquitous or personal health monitoring.

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a displacement sensor and is commonly used owing to its wide measurement range, excellent linearity, high sensitivity, and precision. To improve the output characteristics of LVDT, a few studies have been conducted to analyze the output using a theoretical method or a finite element method. However, the material properties of the core and the electromagnetic force acting on the core were not considered in the previous studies. In this study, a finite element analysis model was proposed considering the characteristics of the LVDT composed of coils, core, magnetic shell and electric circuit, and the core displacement. Using the proposed model, changes in sensitivity and linear region of LVDT according to changes in process and material parameters were analyzed. The outputs of the LVDT model were compared with those of the theoretical analysis, and then, the proposed analysis model was validated. When the electrical conductivity of the core was high and the relative magnetic permeability was low, the decrease in sensitivity was large. Additionally, an increase in the frequency of the power led to further decrease in sensitivity. The electromagnetic force applied on the core increased as the voltage increased, the frequency decreased, and the core displacement increased.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has led to the development of drones for commercial and private applications. Therefore, the malfunction of drones has become a prominent problem. Failure mode and effect analysis was used in this study to analyze the primary cause of drone failure, and blade breakage was observed to have the highest frequency of failure. This was tested using a vibration sensor placed on drones along the breakage length of the blades. The data exhibited a significant increase in vibration within the drone body for blade fracture length. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the data dimension and classify the state with machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, Gaussian naive Bayes, and random forest. The performance of machine learning was higher than 0.95 for the four algorithms in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. A follow-up study on failure prediction will be conducted based on the results of fault diagnosis.

Recently, the development of sensor technology has led to an increase in research on unmanned aerial photogrammetry in various fields such as digital mapping, monitoring, cadastral survey, coastal survey, and topographic survey. However, existing studies are mainly limited experiments and analysis of specific application field, which is insufficient to demonstrate the validity of unmanned aerial photogrammetry for geospatial information construction. In this study, the studies related to the accuracy of unmanned aerial photogrammetry were investigated. The flight altitude and accuracy of horizontal direction is proportional to the GSD by analyzing the results of the individual studies conducted on the unmanned aerial photogrammetry within the last 5 years. In addition, the accuracy of the evaluation results varied widely according to the experimental conditions, and the problems of the previous studies that lacked the number of samples to evaluate the results were identified. A total accuracy analysis of 322 checkpoints yielded an accuracy of 0.028m in the horizontal direction and 0.044m in the vertical direction. In the future, the results of this study can be used as a basis for the validity of spatial information construction using unmanned aerial photogrammetry.

Implementing flexible production systems in domestic and foreign automotive design parts assembly has increased demand for automation and power reduction. Consequently, transition to a hybrid production method is observed where multiple vehicles are assembled in a single assembly line. Multiple robots, 3D vision sensors, mounting positions, and correction software have complex configurations in the automotive glass mounting system. Hence, automation is required owing to significant difficulty in the assembly process of automobile parts. This study presents a primer lighting and inspection algorithm that is robust to the assembly environment of real automotive design parts using high power 'ㄷ'-shaped LED inclined lighting. Furthermore, a 2D camera was developed in the primer coating inspection system-the core technology of the glass mounting system. A primer application demo line applicable to the actual automobile production line was established using the proposed high power lighting and algorithm. Furthermore, application inspection performance was verified using this demo system. Experimental results verified that the performance of the proposed system exceeded the level required to satisfy the automobile requirements.

Advancements in remote medical technologies and smart devices have led to expectations of contactless rehabilitation. Conventionally, rehabilitation requires clinicians to perform routine muscle function assessments with patients. However, assessment results are difficult to cross-reference owing to the lack of a gold standard. Thus, the application of remote smart rehabilitation systems is significantly hindered. This study analyzes the factors affecting the real-time evaluation of muscle function based on biometric sensor data so that we can provide a basis for a remote system. We acquired real clinical stroke patient data to identify the meaningful features associated with normal and abnormal musculature. We provide a system based on these emerging features that assesses muscle functionality in real time via streamed biometric signal data. A system view based on the amount of data, data processing speed, and feature proportions is provided to support the production of a rudimentary remote smart rehabilitation system.

현재의 스마트 조명은 센서를 통해 사용자의 행위와 위치를 판별한 후 현재 상황에 적합한 조명 환경이 서비스되도록 구성되어 있다. 이러한 센서 기반의 상황인식 기술은 현재까지 단일 사용자만을 고려할 뿐 여러 사용자들의 다양한 상황 발생과 충돌을 해석하기 위한 연구는 미흡하다. 기존 연구에서는 상황충돌을 해결하기 위한 방법론으로 퍼지이론 및 ReBa 등의 알고리즘을 사용해 왔다. 이는 사용자들이 위치한 공간을 여러 영역으로 구분한 후 각 구역별로 서비스를 제공함으로써 발생 가능한 상황충돌의 기회를 회피할 뿐 개인 선호도 기반의 상황충돌 해석이 가능한 맞춤형 서비스 유형으로 볼 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 여러 사용자에게 다양한 상황이 동시 발생되어 서비스 충돌에 직면할 때, 상황의 유형에 따라 부여된 우선순위를 기준으로 서비스를 결정하는 우선순위 기반 다중 상황충돌 해석이 가능한 LED 조명제어시스템을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 주거환경을 'Living Room', 'Bed Room', 'Study Room', 'Kitchen', 'Bath Room'의 5개 구역으로 구분하고 여러 명의 사용자를 대상으로 각 구역 내에서 발생 가능한 상황들을 'exercising', 'doing makeup', 'reading', 'dining', 'entering' 등 총 20가지로 정의한다. 시스템은 온톨로지 기반 모델을 이용하여 사용자의 다양한 상황을 정의하고 규칙기반의 룰 및 추론엔진을 통해 사용자 중심의 조명환경을 서비스한다. 또한 동일 공간 및 동일 시점에 사용자들 간의 다양한 상황충돌 이슈를 해결하기 위해 사용자 집중력이 요구되는 상황을 최우선으로 정하고, 동일한 우선순위를 가진 상황일 경우 시각적 편안함을 차선으로 순위를 부여하여 충돌 발생 시 서비스 선택의 기준으로 활용한다.
