  • Microcontroller (MCU) is designed to properly utilize each module through programming by connecting various modules to Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA). General-purpose MCUs are designed for consumers to use them appropriately in their research or industry area. However, in a specific area such as networking and AI autonomous vehicles, it is necessary to design MCU suitable for the field directly. However, there is a significant barrier for most consumers to directly design an MCU. In this paper, we provide a development guideline that can easily design an MCU for education or research purpose. First, we introduce AMBA system with open IPs, and we verify that the module operates properly through AMBA and interrupt operation. Finally, the MCU system is designed as an on-chip.

  • Currently, photodetectors are being extensively studied and developed for next-generation applications, such as in autonomous vehicles and image sensors. In this regard, all-inorganic metal halide perovskite (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, and I) nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising building blocks for various applications owing to their high absorption coefficients, tunable bandgaps, high defect tolerances, and solution processability. These features, which are typically required for the development of advanced optoelectronics, can be engineered by modifying the chemical compositions and surface chemistry of the NCs. Herein, we briefly review various strategies adopted for the application of CsPbX3 perovskite NCs in photodetectors and for improving device performance. First, modifications of the chemical compositions of CsPbX3 NCs to tune their optical bandgaps and improve the charge-transport mechanism are discussed. Second, the application of surface chemistry to improve oxidation resistance and carrier mobility is described. In the future, perovskite NCs with prospective features, such as non-toxicity and high resistance to external stimuli, are expected to be developed for practical applications.

  • This paper proposes a method for constructing and verifying datasets used in deep learning technology, to prevent safety accidents in automated construction machinery or autonomous vehicles. Although open datasets for developing image recognition technologies are challenging to meet requirements desired by users, this study proposes the interface of virtual simulators to facilitate the creation of training datasets desired by users. The pixel-level training image dataset was verified by creating scenarios, including various road types and objects in a virtual environment. Detecting an object from an image may interfere with the accurate path determination due to occlusion areas covered by another object. Thus, we construct a database, for developing an occlusion area detection algorithm in a virtual environment. Additionally, we present the possibility of its use as a deep learning dataset to calculate a grid map, that enables path search considering occlusion areas. Custom datasets are built using the RDBMS system.

  • Compressed-water-type launching devices convert the force from compressed water into force-launching underwater structures, such as torpedos and autonomous underwater vehicles. In particular, the overpressure wave in the launching tube is a critical design factor for the launching device. This paper presents a simplified formula for simulating overpressure waves in the launching tube of a compressed-water-type launching device. Scaled model experiments were performed to obtain actual measurement data of overpressure waves in a launching tube with varying piston speeds to examine the practical applicability of the simplified formula. The main factor of the simplified formula was estimated using an optimization technique. The time history of the overpressure waves was satisfactorily simulated using the estimated factor values and showed consistency with the measurement data. In addition, the trend of change by the piston speed of the estimated factors was reviewed, and the practical applicability was demonstrated. A systematic study of the factors influencing the overpressure waves in launching tubes will be possible using experimental data for more various conditions and the proposed simplified formula.

  • This paper describes localization of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUV), which can be used when some navigation sensor data are an outlier. In that situation, localization through existing navigation algorithms causes problems in long-range localization. Even if an outlier sensor data occurs once, problems of localization will continue. Also, if outlier sensor data is related to azimuth (direction of AUV), it causes bigger problems. Therefore, a parallel localization module, in which different algorithms are performed in a normal and abnormal situation should be designed. Before designing a parallel localization module, it is necessary to study an effective method in the abnormal situation. So, we propose a localization method through machine learning. For this method, a learning model consists of only Fully-Connected and trains through randomly contaminated real sea data. The ground truth of training is displacement between subsequent GPS data. As a result, average error in localization through the learning model is 0.4 times smaller than the average error in localization through the existing navigation algorithm. Through this result, we conclude that it is suitable for a component of the parallel localization module.

  • With the continuous development of technologies related to 5G, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicle systems, standards and services for V2X and C-ITS environments are being studied a lot. BSM (basic safety message) was adopted as a standard for exchanging data between vehicles based on data collected and generated by vehicle systems in a V2V environment. In this paper, we propose a framework that can safely store BSM messages and effectively check the stored messages using Event-Sourcing and CQRS patterns. The proposed framework can securely store and manage BSM messages using hash functions. And it has the advantage of being able to check the stored BSM data in real time based on the time series and to reproduce the state.

  • Position measurement using a camera has been studied for a long time. This is being studied for distance recognition or object recognition in autonomous vehicles, and it is being studied in the field of indoor navigation, which is a limited space where GPS is difficult to apply. In general, in a method of measuring the distance using a camera, the distance is measured using a distance between the cameras using two stereo cameras and a value measured through a captured image or photo. In this paper, we propose a method of measuring the distance of an object using a single camera. The proposed method measures the distance by using the distance between cameras, such as a stereo camera, and the value measured by the photographed picture through the gap of the photographing time and the distance between photographing.

  • With the development of autonomous driving technology, the number of external contact sensors mounted on vehicles is increasing, and the importance is also rising. The vehicular ultrasonic sensor uses the LIN protocol in the form of a bus topology and reports a status message about its surroundings through the vehicle's internal network. Since ultrasonic sensors are vulnerable to various threats due to poor security protocols, physical testing on actual vehicle is needed. Therefore, this paper developed a LIN-CAN co-analysis testbed with a jig for location-specific distance test to examine the operational relation between LIN and CAN caused by ultrasonic sensors.

  • 운전자가 아닌 자율주행 시스템이 운전을 주도하기 위한 기술의 상용화를 위해 많은 기업이 노력 중이다. 특히 운전자의 안전을 보장하기 위한 운전자와 자율주행 시스템 간의 제어권전환이 중요하다. 운전자의 주행과 관련 없는 행동은 제어권전환 상황에서 운전자를 위험에 빠뜨릴 수 있으므로 제어권전환을 돕기 위한 운전자 모니터링 기술에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 운전자 모니터링 기술은 주로 생체 정보, 차량 정보, 영상을 사용하여 운전자의 상태와 부주의 행동 등을 감지하는 기술이다. 최근 머신 러닝, 딥 러닝을 사용한 영상처리 및 인식 기술 등의 발전으로 영상을 사용한 운전자 모니터링 기술이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상기반 운전자 모니터링 기술 동향에 대해 상세히 기술하였다. 특히 운전자의 부주의 행동 중 졸음은 운전자가 주행 상황을 전혀 인지하지 못하게 할 수 있어 더욱 위험한 행동이다. 따라서 영상기반 운전자 모니터링 기술을 졸음 인식과 그 외의 행동 인식으로 분류하여 동향을 정리하였다.

  • With the advent of deep learning, a lot of attempts have been made in computer vision to substitute deep learning models for conventional algorithms. Among them, image classification, object detection, and image restoration have received a lot of attention from researchers. However, most of the contributions were refined in one of the fields only. We propose a new paradigm of model structure. End-to-end model which we will introduce classifies noise of an image and restores accordingly. Through this, the model enhances universality and efficiency. Our proposed model is an 'One-For-All' model which classifies weather condition in an image and returns clean image accordingly. By separating weather conditions, restoration model became more compact as well as effective in reducing raindrops, snowflakes, or haze in an image which degrade the quality of the image.
