  • In this paper, we propose and implement VVVV base interactive advertisement. It has now expanded from the traditional marketing methods of television, radio, newspapers and magazines to become a digital marketing era. However, it is still in the form of infusion-type advertising, similar to traditional marketing techniques. For more innovative we put story and design elements into digital technology. Consumers will feel fresh excitement as they experience advertising. Emotional stories and image will also provide an element for customers to talk to each other. The propose advertisement is design to recognize the movement of people in the corridor by using Arduino and ultrasonic sensor installed in the passageway where many people pass. Arduino and VVVV takes people's movements for a values. This values change the advertising image. In this case, we applied the mask in VVVV so that the image to be reproduced and the image of the background role are displayed when the person passes the sensor. By realizing this interactive advertisement, the objective is to increase the buyer's purchasing power by approaching the buyer more effectively than the existing advertisement.

  • This paper proposes an auto-parking controller for omnidirectional mobile robots. The controller uses the multi-sensor system including ultrasonic sensor and camera. The several ultrasonic sensors of robot detect the distance between robot and each wall of the parking lot. The camera detects the global position of robot by capturing the image of artificial landmarks. To improve the accuracy of position estimation, we applied the extended Kalman filter with adaptive fuzzy controller. Also we developed the fuzzy control system to reduce the settling time of parking. The experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed controller.

  • In this paper, variable windowing mean filter to remove speckle noise and a measure to detect thin edge in ultrasonic images are proposed. Because ultrasonic images are corrupted by speckle noise showing a granular appearance, good edge detection is difficult. As a result, noise removing filter is needed in preprocessing stage. The speckle noise removing filter is based on mean filter whose window size is changed by the ratio of standard deviation to mean for image signal and noise signal in local area. And the measure expressed the difference of means between tow windows is used for detecting thin edge in filtered image. Results show that variable windowing mean filter removes speckle noise effectively, and proposed measure is useful in detecting thin edge.

  • Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes the mortar and aggregate phases of concrete. The mortar and aggregate phase topologies are, then, directly mapped to the finite element mesh to form a heterogeneous concrete model. The heterogeneous concrete model is then used to simulate wave propagation. The veracity of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the intrinsic parameters of nondestructive ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete. Quantitative relationships between aggregate size and testing frequency for nondestructive testing are presented.

  • This paper represents the stable path recognition by the ultrasonic sensor which gathers navigation environments and the monocular image sensor which generates the self localization information of mobile robot. The proposed ultrasonic sensor and vision camera system recognizes the target and extracts parameters for generating the world map and self localization. Therefore, this paper has developed an indoor mobile robot and has stably demonstrated in a corridor environment.

  • In this study, Object restoration of ultrasonic transducer fabricated with porous piezoelectric ceramics using Modified SCL(Simple Competitive Learning) neural networks are presented. Using the acquired object data $16{\times}16$ pixels, Modified SCL neural networks using the $16{\times}16$ low resolution image was used for object restoration of $32{\times}32$ high resolution image. The experimental results show that the ultrasonic transducer fabricated with porous piezoelectric ceramics could be applied for sonar system.

  • Third order correlation funciton is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undetectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In this paper, we will introduce optical modulator which consists of a laser light source, 2-dimensional ultrasonic diffractor cell with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to personal computer for image processing. With this modulator, the third order correlaiton pattern of signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallel nature of optical computing.

  • In this paper, the deconvolution method utilizing a modified Wiener filter is applied for the enhancement of lateral resolution of ultrasonic B-scan Images. For this purpose, a phantom composed of wires which are 0.6mm of diameter and apart in the range between 3 to 9mm is constructed. The modified Wiener filter with optimal parameter is applied to the phantom for the analysis of ultrasonic image. The results obtained are as follows'When all parameters of the modified Wiener filter are optimal, the resolution of B-scan images is enhanced by 50 percent : Othenrise, the images are blurred, spilt at peak points, or noises are strengthened severely. When the point-spread function representing the characteristic function of the system is determined, the selection ranges of op- timum parameters may be narrowed. It is expected that the proposed method may be able to apply to clinic situations for more accurate image analysis by means of reducing the loss of important information.

  • In this paper, we proposed method of performance enhancement of the ultrasonic imaging system using quadrature detector and implementation of the software quandrature detector. Since the quadrature detector is more sensitive than the enbelope detector of the conventional ultrasonic imaging syustem, we are able to achieve the contrast enhnacement. Although hardware quadrature detector is able to process high sped data acquisition, its hardware has complexity. In order to show the performance of the software quadrature we have constructed ultrasonic signal processing system and obtained the reflected signal from the aluminum specimen using A/D convertor. Our experimental results showed that image of the quadrature detector is better than that of the envelope detector.

  • In this paper, we describe a development of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation software to analyze steam generator of nuclear power plant. The developed software includes classical analysis method such as A, B, C and D-scan images. And it can analyze the size and the location of internal cracks using 2D image. To do such, we obtain raw data from specimens of real pipeline of power plants, and get the crack points using LPF and differential method from obtained ultrasonic 1-dimensional data. The results of applications showed that the developed software provided accurate images of cracks on various specimens.
