  • Latest advances in network sensor technology and state of the art of mobile robot, and artificial intelligence research can be employed to develop autonomous and distributed monitoring systems. In this study, as the preliminary step for developing a multi-purpose "Intelligent Space" platform to implement advanced technologies easily to realize smart services to human. We will give an explanation for the ISpace system architecture designed and implemented in this study and a short review of existing techniques, since there exist several recent thorough books and review paper on this paper. Instead we will focus on the main results with relevance to the DIND data fusion with CI of Intelligent Space. We will conclude by discussing some possible future extensions of ISpace. It is first dealt with the general principle of the navigation and guidance architecture, then the detailed functions tracking multiple objects, human detection and motion assessment, with the results from the simulations run.

  • In this paper a new design of multi-layer perceptron(MLP) for camera calibration is proposed. Most existing techniques determine a transformation from 3D spatial points to their image points and camera parameters are tried to be estimated from the transformation. The technique proposed here, on the other hand, determines rays of sight uniquely from image points and parameters are estimated from the relationship using an MLP. By this approach projection and back-projection can be done more straightforwardly. Being based on a geometric model, a network design process becomes less ambiguous, which is a clear merit compared to other neural net based techniques. An MLP designed according to the technique proposed showed fast and stable learning in tests under various conditions.

  • 무선 센서 네트워크의 표준인 IEEE 802.15.4는 전력소모를 줄이기 위해 비컨을 사용하는 슈퍼프레임 구조를 지원하는데 이를 멀티 홈 네트워크 환경에 적용시킬 경우 비컨의 충돌이 발생한다. 네트워크의 정보를 담은 비컨이 충돌되면 노드간의 통신에 장애가 발생하고 새로 네트워크에 참여하고자하는 노드도 수용할 수 없게 된다. 이와 같은 문제를 개선하고자 본 논문에서는 현재 제안되어있는 비컨 충돌 회피 방법들을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 이웃 노드의 정보를 이용하여 다수의 센서 노드가 중복된 시간에 비컨을 전송할 수 있도록 하여 전체 네트워크에 비컨이 전송되는 시간을 줄이는 방법을 제시한다.

  • Recently, the wavelet transform has been a new and powerful tool for signal processing. It is more suitable specially for the feature extraction and detection of non-stationary signals than traditional methods such as, the Fourier Transform(FT), the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and the Least Square Method etc. because of the characteristic of the multi-scale analysis and time-frequency domain localization. The wavelet transform has been developed for the analysis of PD pulse signal to raise in the progress of insulation degradation. In this paper, the wavelet transform was applied to one foundational method for feature extraction. For the obtain experimental data, a computer-aided partial discharge measurement system with a single acoustic sensor was used. If we are applying to the neural network method the accumulated data through the extracted feature, it is expected that we can detect the PD pulse signal in the insulation materials on the on-line.

  • The smart space is composed of the wire and/or wireless network, multi-sensor-based environment, and many various controllers. For the smart space, this paper presents a new design method of multirate digital decentralized controller using the intelligent digital redesign technique. In specific, the proposed method is based on the delta-operator and the multirate sampling and takes the form of the LMIs. To shows the feasibility of the suggested method, the computer simulations for Heating, ventilating, and ai. conditioning (HVAC) system are provided.

  • A new signal processing technique is applied to four-cylinder spark and compression ignition engines for the diagnosis of power faults inside the cylinders. This technique utilizes two-sided directional power spectra(예S) of complex vibration signals measured from engine blocks as the patterns for engine cylinder power faults. The dPSs feature that they give not only the frequency contents but also the directivity of the engine block motion. For the automatic detection/diagnosis of cylinder power faults, pattern recognition method using multi-layer neural networks is employed. Experimental results show that the sucess rate for diagnosis of cylinder power faults using dPSs is higher than that using the conventional one-sided power spectra. The proposed technique is also tested to check the robustness to the sensor position and the engine rotational speed.

  • 무선 센서 네트워크는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에서 생활환경과 컴퓨터 사이의 중계자 역할을 하는 매우 중요한 연구 분야이다. 매우 제약적인 자원 환경에서 동작하여야 하는 센서 노드의 특성 때문에 제한된 자원을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 센서 노드용 운영체제가 요구된다. 또한 센서 네트워크는 외부 물리 환경의 변화에 반응하여 동작하는 시스템이기 때문에 여러 이벤트를 동시에 재빠르게 처리 할 수 있는 기능을 제공해야 하며, 센서네트워크 어플리케이션 프로그래머에게 이러한 반응형 어플리케이션 개발이 용의하도록 하는 프레임워크를 제공해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 반응형 시스템에 적합한 상태머신 프레임 워크를 멀티쓰레드 기반의 Nano-Qplus 운영체제 상에서 센서 네트워크의 자원적 제약을 준수하면서 효율적으로 이벤트를 처리 할 수 있는 프레임워크를 지원하는 센서네트워크용 운영체제의 구조를 제안한다.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential application of TERRA-ASTER data in Thailand. ASTER VNIR, SWIR and TIR data covering greater Bangkok and Chiangmai province were processed with various techniques in the spatial domain to study the applicability to various disciplines. ASTER data was also combined with other satellite data in order to utilize multi-sensor methods. It was found that VNIR data can clearly identify urban pattern including road network and vegetation index. While SWIR and TIR data can well separate between urban and non urban area and TIR data can differentiate among thermal surfaces. Furthermore, dense urban areas such as central business area could be highlighted. Land utilization, vegetable distribution and differences of temperature distribution were investigated.
