CMOS image monitoring system for optimal measuring the activity of biosensor is developed using genetic algorithm. Most of living organism in water as water flea, fish, etc are frequently used as biological sensor for monitoring the water quality. It is very difficult to measure the activity of biosensor by image sensor because the value of measurement is varied with gathering method of biosensor images. The suggested monitoring system can optimally measures the activity of biosensor by genetic algorithm. The system is implemented with FPGA into the small hardware which is excellent in terms of the price and performance.

The Tak flux measurement (TFM) site, one of the sites of Korean Flux Network (KoFlux) which is an infrastructure of AsiaFlux, is constructed at a northwest of Thailand. The eddy covariance technique is used for measuring energy, water and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) fluxes, and a real time monitoring and simulation system (RTMASS) developed for data acquisition and processing. The RTMASS is the core structure of the KoFlux-data information system (KoFlux-DIS) and consisted of a remote and a local system. Data acquisition and transmission, and data storage, processing and publishing are functions of those systems, respectively. As primary results about the characteristics of mean flow and turbulence analysis, TFM is a proper site to measure and analyze the various fluxes and those budgets on tropical deciduous forest.

In this paper, a real-time monitoring system based on WSN is designed and implemented to monitor livestock growth environment information which includes the temperature, humidity and harmful gases such as $CO_{2},\;CO,\;NH_{3},\;H_{2}S$ and so on. The proposed system consists of the wireless sensor nodes, the monitoring management device, the management server and the user interface program based on PC/Smart phone. To verify the performance of the implemented system, gas measurement experiments are performed in laboratory environment by using the designed wireless sensor nodes. And it is able to estimate the concentration of gases. The implemented system is able to monitor the proposed environmental element information through the developed GUI.

The cases of using new methods of big blocks are largely increasing on Recent large-scale bridge structures. So the accurate data of responses of bridges following environmental causes are required to be quickly recorded in order to predict. For this reason described above, the research on measuring system should be conducted for more knowledge of the details on application and stability of new methods. In this study, the new health monitoring system that can monitor the real behavior and damages of the bridge during all processes of construction is presented by analyzing cases of domestic and overseas bridge health monitoring system, and applied methods of following bridges.

We constructed and tested an airborne peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) monitoring system based on luminol chemiluminescence detection with fast gas chromatography. This system allowed for simultaneous measurement of PAN and nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) with a time resolution of <2 min. Actual sample masses within the fixed volume sample loop at various altitudes and temperatures were adjusted to standard atmosphere, using measured pressures and temperatures. The airborne PAN measurement system was evaluated during two field studies above the southern Korean Peninsula in August and October 2009. The detection limit based on the ISO approach was 0.035 ppbv PAN, well below the observed concentrations of 0.185-1.49 ppbv during these studies. Under these conditions, the PAN mixing ratios were positively correlated with $O_x$ ($O_x=O_3+NO_2$), with slopes varying between 0.014 and 0.033 and intercepts between 22.6 and 55.1 ppbv $O_x$. The intercepts corresponded roughly to background $O_x$ mixing ratios in central Europe; however, the slopes were above the range of slopes reported in other studies. We also enhanced the durability, safety, and ease of maintenance of the PAN monitoring system by redesigning the structure of the conventional luminol cell.

The main purpose of this study was to develop Automatic Measurement System for monitoring tree's vigor using Ubiquitous Sensor Network This study also focused on presenting an alternative for monitoring automatically tree's vigor due to Shigometer's limits. Application test of the system in comparison with Shigometer showed that the measurement values were not different to choose between the two, and battery lasted about 1,844 days in this system. To test the sensor network the possible transmission distance using the sensor network in maximum was 130m. Investigation and management expenses can be reduced and labor productivity will also be improved in the forest and street trees.

The occurrence of harmful algae on the coast of Korea has been a cause of damage to the aquaculture industry and deterioration of the coastal ecosystem environment. A method is required to predict their outbreak in real-time at the site. Therefore, this study attempted to develop a small hybrid optical sensor and real-time monitoring system based on LiDAR that can be used in the field and laboratory and can be applied to various platforms. FMS-L specifically suggested the amount of Chlorophyll a (Chl a) in the sample by measuring and analyzing the fluorescence emitted by the irradiating light. The accuracy of FMS-L was verified by measuring the concentrations of standard Chlorophyll a substances and Margalfidinium polykirkoids. In addition, the precision was verified by comparing the measurement results of FMS-L using commercial equipment Phyto-PAM-II. This equipment is compact and easy to move. Therefore, it can be easily applied to field surveys, allows short time measurements (10 s), and can be applied at a distance of 10 m from the measurement site.

Radiation monitoring system is needed at nuclear power plant and nuclear facility. Manual survey techniques are commonly used, but they are time consuming and somewhat inaccurate. Automatic radiation surveys are very important because it provides significant savings in men-rem and wages. Unmanned, remote automatic radiation measurement system should be small and light-weighted in order to mount on robotic system. The system we have developed consists of detection parts, signal processing part, interface, and software part. Position information is provided by using of a collimator. The measurement process is achieved by the scanning of detector and image processing techniques are used to display radiation levels. We designed collimators, detectors, signal processing circuit, and constructed prototype system. The goal of this system is the mapping of camera image and radiation level distribution.
