This paper proposes two wideband spectrum sensing approaches: (i) method A, the cumulative sum (CUSUM) algorithm with short-time Fourier transform, taking advantage of the time-frequency analysis for wideband spectrum. (ii)method B, the quickest spectrum sensing with short-time Fourier transform and compressed sensing, shortening the time of perception and improving the speed of spectrum access or exit. Moreover, method B can take advantage of the sparsity of wideband signals, sampling in the sub-Nyquist rate, and it is more suitable for wideband spectrum sensing. Simulation results show that method A significantly outperforms the single serial CUSUM detection for small SNRs, while method B is substantially better than the block detection based spectrum sensing in small probability of the false alarm.

Because damages arising from the occurrence of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are very great, it is essential to make a preemptive diagnosis to cope with it in order to minimize those damages. The main symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease are body temperature increase, loss of appetite, formation of blisters in the mouth, on hooves and breasts, etc. in a cow or a bull, among which the body temperature check is the easiest and quickest way to detect the disease. In this paper, an algorithm to detect FMD from the hooves of cattle was developed and implemented for preemptive coping with foot-and-mouth disease, and a hoof check test is conducted after the installation of a high-resolution camera module, a thermo-graphic camera, and a temperature/humidity module in the cattle shed. Through the algorithm and system developed in this study, it is possible to cope with an early-stage situation in which cattle are suspected as suffering from foot-and-mouth disease, creating an optimized growth environment for cattle. In particular, in this study, the system to cope with FMD does not use a portable thermo-graphic camera, but a fixed camera attached to the cattle shed. It does not need additional personnel, has a function to measure the temperature of cattle hooves automatically through an image algorithm, and includes an automated alarm for a smart phone. This system enables the prediction of a possible occurrence of foot-and-mouth disease on a real-time basis, and also enables initial-stage disinfection to be performed to cope with the disease without needing extra personnel.
