We developed a pet care robot that can be controlled outdoors. Through the smartphone application, the pet owners can watch the situation in the house and manipulate the robot to make their pet happy. The video data in the house is transmitted to the application through the webcam installed at the house. The robot can not only perform user's command but also do six basic macro action. The obstacle avoidance function using the current sensor can be activated if the user want to use. When the robot hits to something, it moves back and rotates by arbitrary angle, and then moves forward.

This paper reports the development of a platform for tracking and analysis of animal locomotion. The platform is composed of a commercial webcam, a metal stand for the webcam, and a plastic bathtub as a cage. Using it, researchers can track and analyze an animal's movement within the plastic bathtub's dimensions of $100cm{\times}100cm{\times}55cm$ in a cost-effective manner. After recording the locomotion of an animal with $1920{\times}1080$ resolution at a rate of 30 frames per second, finding the position of the animal in each frame and analyzing the ambulation pattern were executed with custom software. To evaluate the performance of the platform, movements of imprinting control region mice and transgenic mice were recorded and analyzed. The analysis successfully compared velocity, moving pattern, and total moving distance for the two mouse groups. In addition, the developed platform can be used not only in simple motion analysis but also in various experimental conditions, such as a water maze, by easy customization of the platform. Such a simple and cost-effective platform yields a powerful tool for animal ambulatory analysis.

Using random numbers to represent uncertainty and unpredictability is essential in many industries. This is crucial in disciplines like computer science, cryptography, and statistics where the use of randomness helps to guarantee the security and dependability of systems and procedures. In computer science, random number generation is used to generate passwords, keys, and other security tokens as well as to add randomness to algorithms and simulations. According to recent research, the hardware random number generators used in billions of Internet of Things devices do not produce enough entropy. This article describes how raw data gathered by IoT system sensors can be used to generate random numbers for cryptography systems and also examines the results of these random numbers. The results obtained have been validated by successfully passing the FIPS 140-1 and NIST 800-22 test suites.

본 논문에서는 아두이노 기반의 효율적인 홈 시큐리티 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 홈 시큐리티 모니터링 시스템은 비교적 가격이 저렴한 메인 프로세서인 아두이노와 초음파 센서, 인체 감지 센서를 이용하여 침입여부를 판단하도록 홈 시큐리티 시스템을 구성하였고, 초음파 센서와 인체 감지 센서의 데이터는 아두이노에 연결된 이더넷 쉴드를 통해 웹 서버로 전송하도록 설계하였다. 그리고 웹 서버에서는 저장된 초음파 센서와 인체 감지 센서 데이터를 이용하여 침입여부를 확인하고, JQuery를 이용하여 연결되어 있는 웹캠으로 스냅 샷을 촬영하도록 하였으며, 촬영 된 스냅 샷은 웹 서버에 이미지 파일로 저장되며, HTML5와 CSS, Canvas를 사용하여 사용자는 웹 또는 스마트 디바이스 환경에서 모니터링이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 제안된 홈 시큐리티 모니터링 시스템을 실제 구현함으로서 효율성 검증 결과 기존 홈 시큐리티 시스템에 비해 구성이 쉬워 도면을 보고 쉽게 제작이 가능하였으며, 아두이노를 이용하여 구성과 설치비에 대한 가성비가 뛰어났고, 개인이 오류에 대한 직접적인 대처가 가능해 비용에 대한 효율성과 편리성을 입증하였으며, 신뢰도 높은 데이터를 이용하여 안정적인 시스템 운영이 가능하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop an apparatus which can take a facial image by self-operated capturing technique. The user can obtain one's facial image immediately after adjusting facial tilt and focusing distance. The system has been designed for classifying Sasang typology based on facial image. Methods : The system is composed of a Webcam, one-way glass mirror and mini LCD. The Webcam takes a facial image which is displayed on the mini LCD. Then the user can see and adjust to the right position in the real time through the image mirror-reflected from the mini LCD. The optical sensor is used to estimate the proper focusing distance. To verify the performance of the system, 11 characteristic points on the facial image are used and compared with high performance DSLR camera(D700) by applying the coefficient of variance and Bland-Altman Plot. Results : The developed system and D700 show enough agreement with the small coefficient of variance to analyse constitutional types with a facial im mage. However, the result of Bland-Altman plot shows that the width parameters have distortions owing to short focusing distance. Conclusions : The system is expected to be utilized on u-healthcare services for home environment after improving the distortion in the width parameters.

As sensor technologies and image processing technologies make collecting information on users' behavior easy, many researchers have examined automatic emotion recognition based on facial expressions, body expressions, and tone of voice, among others. Specifically, many studies have used normal cameras in the multimodal case using facial and body expressions. Thus, previous studies used a limited number of information because normal cameras generally produce only two-dimensional images. In the present research, we propose an artificial neural network-based model using a high-definition webcam and Kinect to recognize users' emotions from facial and bodily expressions when watching a movie trailer. We validate the proposed model in a naturally occurring field environment rather than in an artificially controlled laboratory environment. The result of this research will be helpful in the wide use of emotion recognition models in advertisements, exhibitions, and interactive shows.

위치결정기법으로 근래에 널리 활용되는 GPS(Global Navigation Satellite System)는 가시성이 확보되지 않은 상황에서는 측위가 어려운 단점을 내포하고 있다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고 위치 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 최근에 영상센서와 기존 항법시스템을 결합하는 복합측위에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS 기반 차량 항법의 성능을 보완하기 위하여 GPS와 단일 Webcam을 결합하여 차량의 이동변위를 효과적으로 추정하는 복합측위 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 가시 위성이 부족한 구간에서도 2개 이상의 GPS 측정치가 가용할 경우 영상센서 정보를 결합하여 차량 위치해의 정확도를 유지한다. 실측 데이터를 바탕으로 GPS 위성을 2개로 줄인 구간에서도 오차가 바로 발산하지 않고 최대 누적 오차가 N축 방향으로 약 2.5m E축 방향으로 약 3m가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
