This paper proposes an algorithm to effectively detect the traffic lights and recognize the traffic signals using a monocular camera mounted on the front windshield glass of a vehicle in day time. The algorithm consists of three main parts. The first part is to generate the candidates of a traffic light. After conversion of RGB color model into HSI and YCbCr color spaces, the regions considered as a traffic light are detected. For these regions, edge processing is applied to extract the borders of the traffic light. The second part is to divide the candidates into traffic lights and non-traffic lights using Haar-like features and Adaboost algorithm. The third part is to recognize the signals of the traffic light using a template matching. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm successfully detects the traffic lights and recognizes the traffic signals in real time in a variety of environments.

Since the first lighting light source was invented, lighting has turned into superior-quality lighting considering the amenity of occupants, and the characteristics of a light source has developed rapidly. So this research confirmed the lighting performance of a dimmer control system and an ON-OFF control system via the existing light source, and analyzed the basic lighting environment of Permanent Supplementary Artificial Lighting of Interiors(PSALI) through the physical comparison and evaluation of a LED lamp substituted for a fluorescent lamp used in a dimmer control system, showing that the lighting physical quantity characteristics of an ON-OFF control system and a dimmer control system are similar to each other and that they are effective in terms of energy saving. Besides, it was shown that introducing a LED light source to a dimmer control system improves lighting environments and largely reduces energy consumption.

Daylighting has a very effective role in reducing power consumption and improving indoor environments in office buildings. Previously, it was not under consideration as a major source of renewable energy due to poor reliability in the design. Optical fiber as a transmission medium in the daylighting system demands uniform distribution of light to solve cost, heat, and efficiency issues. Therefore, this study focuses on the uniform distribution of sunlight through the fiber bundle and to the interior of the building. To this end, two efficient approaches for the fiber-based daylighting system are presented. The first approach consists of a parabolic mirror, and the second approach contains a Fresnel lens. Sunlight is captured, guided, and distributed through the concentrator, optical fibers, and lenses, respectively. At the capturing stage, uniform illumination solves the heat problem, which has critical importance in making the system cost-effective by introducing plastic optical fibers. The efficiency of the system is increased by collimated light, which helps to insert maximum light into the optical fibers. Furthermore, we find that the hybrid system of combining sunlight and light emitting diode light gives better illumination levels than that of traditional lighting systems. Simulation and experimental results have shown that the efficiency of the system is better than previous fiber-based daylighting systems.

Advancing the estrous cycle of mares is an essential breeding strategy that is routinely conducted by Thoroughbred breeders to improve economic outcomes. For this purpose, Equilume light masks have been developed as an alternative to existing technologies such as artificial lighting or hormonal treatments because they are considered as valid as existing methods with additional animal welfare advantages. For example, with the Equilume light masks, horses can be let out into the pasture, whereas they have to be kept indoors during lighting treatment. Because the function of Equilume light mask on the estrous cycle of mares is influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition condition and temperature, Equilume light mask should be studied in various environments. The objective of the present study was thus to verify the effect of Equilume light masks on the onset of the estrous cycle in Thoroughbred mares in South Korea. Mares were randomly selected and separated into two groups at two Thoroughbred horse breeding farms. The mares in the treatment group were equipped with Equilume light masks from November 18 to February 10 the following year. The body condition, the number and size (> 35 mm) of uterine follicles, and the uterine horn score of the mares were assessed on January 6 and February 10. The body condition scores were not different between the two groups. The treatment with the Equilume light mask had no positive effects on developing follicles and the reproductive tract. In conclusion, the use of Equilume light masks did not influence the seasonal resumption of the estrus cycles in Thoroughbred mares in South Korea.

본 논문에서는 CMOS센서 기반 가시광 통신 시스템에서 고속전송을 위한 다중 광원의 간섭제거 및 이미지 센싱 처리기술에 대해서 연구하였다. 이미지센서를 통한 광학카메라 통신에서 전송 용량을 향상 시키려면 각 LED에서 다른 데이터를 동시에 전송해야한다. 그러나 고속전송을 위한 다수의 LED광원 환경은 인접한 LED 간 간섭을 일으킬 수 있다. 이 경우, 가시광통신시스템은 일반적으로 세기 변조를 사용하기 때문에 다수의 LED가 동시에 데이터를 전송할 경우 인접한 LED의 빛 퍼짐 간섭으로 인해 각각의 LED들의 정확한 신호 검출이 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 듀얼 CMOS 센서를 사용하여 다수의 광원 LED의 ON/OFF 상태를 정확히 인식하고, 각각의 LED들의 이미지 시그널 프로세싱 기법을 제안하였다. 이러한 기법을 통해 다수의 LED픽셀을 정확하게 인식하여 다중LED OCVLC 시스템의 총 평균 비트 오류율과 처리량을 향상시킬 수 있다.

수중 음파 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 수중 환경의 자료를 수집하고 이를 이용하여 오염도를 측정하거나 자연재해를 예방하는 등의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 수중에서 수집된 자료는 음파 통신으로 지상의 통신 개체로 전달된다. 수중 환경은 지상 환경에 비해 전송 속도가 낮고, 전송 지연이 빈번히 일어나는 등 통신 성능이 좋지 않기 때문에 지상의 무선 통신에서 사용되는 보안 기술을 그대로 적용시키는 것이 어렵다. 이로 인해 보안 기술을 배제한 체 통신 기술만 사용할 경우 전송되는 자료가 공격자에 의해 탈취되거나 위 변조 되는 등의 보안 위협에 노출될 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 개체 간의 신뢰성을 입증해 주고, 암호화 통신을 위한 비밀키를 공유하는 인증 및 키 발급 프로토콜 등과 같은 보안 기술이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수중 환경을 위해 경량화한 인증 및 키 발급 프로토콜인 UW-AKE을 제안한다.

We present applications of clustering methods to detect variability in massive astronomical time series data. Focusing on variability of bright stars, we use clustering methods to separate possible variable sources from other time series data, which include intrinsically non-variable sources and data with common systematic patterns. We already finished the analysis of the Northern Sky Variability Survey data, which include about 16 million light curves, and present candidate variable sources with their association to other data at different wavelengths. We also apply our clustering method to the light curves of bright objects in the SuperWASP Data Release 1. For the analysis of the SuperWASP data, we exploit a elastically configurable Cloud computing environments that the KISTI Supercomputing Center is deploying. Two quite different configurations are incorporated in our Cloud computing test bed. One system uses the Hadoop distributed processing with its distributed file system, using distributed processing with data locality condition. Another one adopts the Condor and the Lustre network file system. We present test results, considering performance of processing a large number of light curves, and finding clusters of variable and non-variable objects.
