With the development of computer vision technology, video sensors such as CCTV are detecting incident. However, most of the current incident have been detected based on existing fixed imaging equipment. Accordingly, there has been a limit to the detection of incident in shaded areas where the image range of fixed equipment is not reached. With the recent development of edge-computing technology, real-time analysis of mobile image information has become possible. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of detecting expressway emergencies by introducing computer vision technology to dash cam. To this end, annotation data was constructed based on 4,388 dash cam still frame data collected by the Korea Expressway Corporation and analyzed using the YOLO algorithm. As a result of the analysis, the prediction accuracy of all objects was over 70%, and the precision of traffic accidents was about 85%. In addition, in the case of mAP(mean Average Precision), it was 0.769, and when looking at AP(Average Precision) for each object, traffic accidents were the highest at 0.904, and debris were the lowest at 0.629.

This paper describes a automatic video surveillance system(AVSS) with long range and 360$^{\circ}$ coverage that is automatically rotated in an elevation over azimuth mode in response to the TTM(tracked target message) signal of vessels tracked by ARPA(automatic radar plotting aids) radar. This AVSS that is a video security and tracking system supported by ARPA radar, CCTV(closed-circuit television) camera system and other sensors to automatically identify and track, detect the potential dangerous situations such as collision accidents at sea and berthing/deberthing accidents in harbor, can be used in monitoring the illegal fishing vessels in inshore and offshore fishing ground, and in more improving the security and safety of domestic fishing vessels in EEZ(exclusive economic zone) area. The movement of the target vessel chosen by the ARPA radar operator in the AVSS can be automatically tracked by a CCTV camera system interfaced to the ECDIS(electronic chart display and information system) with the special functions such as graphic presentation of CCTV image, camera position, camera azimuth and angle of view on the ENC, automatic and manual controls of pan and tilt angles for CCTV system, and the capability that can replay and record continuously all information of a selected target. The test results showed that the AVSS developed experimentally in this study can be used as an extra navigation aid for the operator on the bridge under the confusing traffic situations, to improve the detection efficiency of small targets in sea clutter, to enhance greatly an operator s ability to identify visually vessels tracked by ARPA radar and to provide a recorded history for reference or evidentiary purposes in EEZ area.

This research paper presents a low-power programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to facilitate signal processing of the detection of defects in steel plates. This circuit is able to adjust a gain in the range of 6 to 60dB in 7 steps using different signal types for various defects from hall sensors. The gain of PGA is designed by operating on-resistors of switches and passive components. The proposed PGA ($0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with 1.8 supply voltage) showed excellent gain error of less than -0.2dB, and low power consumption of 0.47mW.

The magnetic sensor using electromagnetic principle. which transfers magnatic into electric. is the electric component.It has been widely applied to the industry, university and the reseach. However there are some problems. Not only the korean domestic sensor manufacture skills are still lower then the advanced manufacture's but also production of sensor is not well organized yet. Due to cahnging excitation cvurrent, excitation freq and the rate magnetic permeability core, there sometimes would be distorted phenomena or loaded phenomena which result in limited measurment range. Therefore, the signal conversion device should support to receive undistorted and nice output. This paper focuses on both the design of signal transform circuit using inductive proximity sensor and the signal transfer equipment (Z device) which detects thickness of painted material.

We have developed the ATE(Automatic Test Equipment) system for the performance test of pre-amplifier of thermal imaging devices. The device regenerates the electronic signals of photon detection module which is normally in weak energy, for the image signals processing. Previous ATE system was primarily and actively developed in the field of semiconductor devices quality parts inspection. Recently, it has been studied in the field of performance testing of equipment. In the field of thermal performance test equipment, however, it lacks the study of ATE compared to other areas, which causes the maintenance related to the core of military thermal imaging system maintenance to be limited. In this paper, a new study of ATE in the field of thermal imaging system is done. It is designed to be used universally for the ATE system with different types of circuit card of thermal imaging system by adopting matrix relays. Using the developed ATE measuring the pre-amplifier amplitude, an average amplified amplitude of 2.71Vpp was measured which confirms that it is within the range of theoretical analysis and also verifies the good performance of the developed ATE.

This paper describes design of a 10.525 GHz self oscillating mixer semiconductor IC chip combining voltage controlled oscillator and frequency mixer using silicon CMOS technology for Doppler radar applications. The p-core type VCO included in the self oscillating mixer minimizes the noise contained in the transmitted signal. This noise minimization increases the sensing distance and acts in a direction favorable to the reaching distance and the sensitivity of the motion detection sensor. Simulation results for phase noise show that a VCO designed as a P-core has a noise characteristic of -106.008 dBc / Hz at 1 MHz offset and -140.735 dBc / Hz at 25 MHz offset compared to a VCO designed with N-core and NP-core showed excellent noise characteristics. If a self-oscillating mixer is implemented using a p-core designed VCO in this study, a motion sensor with excellent range and reach sensitivity will be produced.

This paper presents a novel survivor memeory management and decoding techniques with sequential backward state transition control in the trace back Viterbi decoder. The Viterbi algorithm is an maximum likelihood decoding scheme to estimate the likelihood of encoder state for channel error detection and correction. This scheme is applied to a broad range of digital communication such as intersymbol interference removing and channel equalization. In order to achieve the area-efficiency VLSI chip design with high throughput in the Viterbi decoder in which recursive operation is implied, more research is required to obtain a simple systematic parallel ACS architecture and surviver memory management. As a method of solution to the problem, this paper addresses a progressive decoding algorithm with sequential backward state transition control in the trace back Viterbi decoder. Compared to the conventional trace back decoding techniques, the required total memory can be greatly reduced in the proposed method. Furthermore, the proposed method can be implemented with a simple pipelined structure with systolic array type architecture. The implementation of the peripheral logic circuit for the control of memory access is not required, and memory access bandwidth can be reduced Therefore, the proposed method has characteristics of high area-efficiency and low power consumption with high throughput. Finally, the examples of decoding results for the received data with channel noise and application result are provided to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid and effective method of laser-induced fluorescence analysis for thrace amounts of Sm, Eu and Tb in nuclear fuels. The features of the method are the use of the distinct fluorescence wavelengths and the discriminative lifetimes of the respective elements when excited by a pulsed nitrogen laser. Fluorescence signals of the three elements were isolated by adequate selection of the filters or complexing agents (HFA, TTA) or discriminative delay and gate times in the signal processing circuit. It was found that S $m^{+3}$ and E $u^{+3}$ emitted strong fluorescence in the two complexing agent solutions or HFA and TTA. But in the case or T $b^{+3}$, the fluorescence signal was detected only in HFA solution. With respect to the concentrations of S $m^{+3}$, E $u^{+3}$ and T $b^{+3}$, the fluorescence signal intensities gave superior linearities in the range of 5 ppb-10 ppm for S $m^{+3}$, 0.5 ppb-1 ppm for E $u^{+3}$, and 0.1 ppb-300 ppb for T $b^{+3}$, The detection limits obtained were 5 ppb for S $m^{+3}$, 0.1 ppb for E $u^{+3}$, and 0.01 ppb for T $b^{+3}$, respectively.

Typically, closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring is mainly used for post-processes (i.e. to provide evidence after an incident has occurred), but by using a streaming video feed, machine-based learning, and advanced image recognition techniques, current technology can be extended to respond to crimes or reports of missing persons in real time. The multi-CCTV cooperation technique developed in this study is a program model that delivers similarity information about a suspect (or moving object) extracted via CCTV at one location and sent to a monitoring agent to track the selected suspect or object when he, she, or it moves out of range to another CCTV camera. To improve the operating efficiency of local government CCTV control centers, we describe here the partial automation of a CCTV control system that currently relies upon monitoring by human agents. We envisage an integrated crime prevention service, which incorporates the cooperative CCTV network suggested in this study and that can easily be experienced by citizens in ways such as determining a precise individual location in real time and providing a crime prevention service linked to smartphones and/or crime prevention/safety information.
