As studies on ubiquitous computing are actively conducted, desire for various services, including image transmission storage, search and remote monitoring. has been expanding into mobile environment as well as to PCs. while CCTV (closed circuit TV) and un DVR (Digital video Recording) are used in places where security service such as intrusion detection system is required, these are high-end equipment. So it is not easy for ordinary users or household and small-sized companies to use them. Besides, they are difficult to be carried and camera solution for mobile device does not support high-quality function and provides low-definition of QVGA for picture quality. Therefore, in this study, design and implementation of embedded system of high-definition image transmission for ubiquitous mobile device which is not inferior to PC or DVR are described. To this end, usage of dedicated CPU for mobile device and design and implementation of MPEG-4 H/W CODEC also are examined. The implemented system showed excellent performance in mobile environment, in terms of speed, picture quality.

Various approaches have been applied to transform aquaculture from a manual, labour-intensive industry to one dependent on automation technologies in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Technologies associated with the monitoring of physical condition have successfully been applied in most aquafarm facilities; however, real-time biological monitoring systems that can observe fish condition and behaviour are still required. In this study, we used a video recorder placed on top of a fish tank to observe the swimming patterns of rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus), first one fish alone and then a group of five fish. Rock bream in the video samples were successfully identified using the you-only-look-once v3 algorithm, which is based on the Darknet-53 convolutional neural network. In addition to recordings of swimming behaviour under normal conditions, the swimming patterns of fish under abnormal conditions were recorded on adding an anaesthetic or lowering the salinity. The abnormal conditions led to changes in the velocity of movement (3.8 ± 0.6 cm/s) involving an initial rapid increase in speed (up to 16.5 ± 3.0 cm/s, upon 2-phenoxyethanol treatment) before the fish stopped moving, as well as changing from swimming upright to dying lying on their sides. Machine learning was applied to datasets consisting of normal or abnormal behaviour patterns, to evaluate the fish behaviour. The proposed algorithm showed a high accuracy (98.1%) in discriminating normal and abnormal rock bream behaviour. We conclude that artificial intelligence-based detection of abnormal behaviour can be applied to develop an automatic bio-management system for use in the aquaculture industry.

As the networked media technology have been grown in recent, there have been many research works to deliver high-quality video such as HDV and HDTV over the Internet. To realize high-quality media service over the Internet, however, the network adaptive streaming scheme is required to adopt to the dynamic fluctuation of underlying networks. In this paper, we design and implement the network-adaptive HD(high definition) MPEG-2 streaming system employing the frame-based prioritized packetization. Delivered video is inputted from the JVC HDV camera to the streaming sewer in real-time. It has a bit-rate of 19.2 Mbps and is multiplexed to the MPEG-2 TS (MPEG-2 MP@HL). For the monitoring of network status, the packet loss rate and the average jitter are measured by using parsing of RTP packet header in the streaming client and they are sent to the streaming server periodically The network adaptation manager in the streaming server estimates the current network status from feedback packets and adaptively adjusts the sending rate by frame dropping. For this, we propose the real-time parsing and the frame-based prioritized packetization of the TS packet. The proposed system is implemented in software and evaluated over the LAN testbed. The experimental results show that the proposed system can enhance the end-to-end QoS of HD video streaming over the best-effort network.

현재 방범 시스템은 적외선, 초음파 둥의 I-지기의 신호에 의존하여 외부로부터의 침입을 감지하고 있으나 방범 시스템이 설치된 환경에 따라 이런 감지기의 정확성이 달라지므로 오 동작의 가능성을 포함하며 신뢰성이 저하되고 있다. 실제 외부로부터의 침입을 확인하기 위해서는 화상과 음성 그리고 감지기의 신호를 조합하여 정확한 판단이 가능하지만 화상을 전송하기 위해서는 고가의 회선비용을 부담해야만 한다. 하지만 인터넷을 이용하여 화상을 전송하는 제품들이 출시되면서 Real-time 화상감시가 가능해졌다. 이런 화상감시 제품들은 Netscape, MS Explorer와 같은 표준 Web Browser을 통해 Real-time으르 전세계 어디서나 화상을 감시할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 적용분야는 호텔주변, 관광지의 여러 명소에 설치 후 홈페이지에 링크시켜 홍보용으로 사용하거나 공장 주요시설, 교통상황 둥의 중요지역의 Monitoring에 활용하고 있다. 그러나 방범 시스템에 적용하기에는 감지기의 확장성, 방범 관제센터 시스템과의 연동이 부족하여 본 고에서는 현재 출시된 화상감시 시스템과 기존 방범시스템을 Integration하여 방범의 최종 목표인 화상과 감지기 신호의 조합에 따른 정확한 방범시스템의 구현에 대해서 기술하고자 한다. 화상방범시스템의 구현은 크게 두 가지로 나누어지며 첫째는 화상감시 시스템과 방범시스템간의 통신을 설계하는 것으로 기존 대부분의 방범시스템이 사용하는 RS-485 통신 프로토콜을 재설계하여 화상감시 시스템과의 통신을 설계하였으며 둘째는 화상감시시스템과 관제센터 시스템간의 통신을 설계하는 것으로 현재 화상감시 시스템의 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 이용한 socket 통신으로 관제센터 시스템과의 실시간 데이터 전송을 가능하게 했다. 이 시스템을 활용할 경우 고객들은 반드시 관제센터시스템의 인증을 거쳐야 하므로 고객의 DataBase를 축적할수 있으며 이 정보를 활용하여 인터넷 화상방범 서비스 Potal Site구축이 가능하다는 장점이 있다.

Three different cases should be considered for motion tracking: moving object with fixed camera, fixed object with moving camera and moving object with moving camera. Two methods are widely used for motion tracking: the optical flow method and the difference frame method. The optical new method is mainly used when either one, object or camera is fixed. This method tracks object using time-space vector which compares object position frame by frame. This method requires heavy computation, and is not suitable for real-time monitoring system such as DVR(Digital Video Recorder). The different frame method is used for moving object with fixed camera. This method tracks object by comparing the difference between background images. This method is good for real-time applications because computation is small. However, it is not applicable if the camera is moving. This thesis proposes and implements the motion tracking system using the difference frame method with PTZ(Pan-Tilt-Zoom) control. This system can be used for moving object with moving camera. Since the difference frame method is used, the system is suitable for real-time applications such as DVR.

Accidents in which oil spills occur intermittently in the ocean due to ship collisions and sinkings. In order to prepare prompt countermeasures when such an accident occurs, it is necessary to accurately identify the current status of spilled oil. To this end, the Coast Guard patrols the target area with a fixed-wing airplane or helicopter and checks it with the naked eye or video, but it was difficult to determine the area contaminated by the spilled oil and its exact location on the map. Accordingly, this study develops a technology for direct ortho-rectification by automatically geo-referencing aerial images collected by the Coast Guard without individual ground reference points to identify the current status of spilled oil. First, meta information required for georeferencing is extracted from a visualized screen of sensor information such as video by optical character recognition (OCR). Based on the extracted information, the external orientation parameters of the image are determined. Images are individually orthorectified using the determined the external orientation parameters. The accuracy of individual orthoimages generated through this method was evaluated to be about tens of meters up to 100 m. The accuracy level was reasonably acceptable considering the inherent errors of the position and attitude sensors, the inaccuracies in the internal orientation parameters such as camera focal length, without using no ground control points. It is judged to be an appropriate level for identifying the current status of spilled oil contaminated areas in the sea. In the future, if real-time transmission of images captured during flight becomes possible, individual orthoimages can be generated in real time through the proposed individual orthorectification technology. Based on this, it can be effectively used to quickly identify the current status of spilled oil contamination and establish countermeasures.

Current digital door lock systems are mainly designed for users' convenience, so they have weakness in security. Thus, this paper suggests a video digital doorlock system grouped with a relay device, a server, and a digital doorlock with a camera, sensors, and communication modules, which is detecting or recognizing objects approaching to the front of the door lock system and sending images and door-opening information to users' smart devices. Experiments showed that the suggested system has 96~98% recognition rate of approaching objects and requires 17.1~23.9 seconds for transmission on average, depending on network systems. Therefore, the system is thought to have enough capability for real time security response by monitoring the front area of the doorlock system.

ABLB (alternate binaural loudness balance) test is one of the medical assessments to diagnose detailed lesion of sensory-neural hearing loss based on a recruitment phenomenon. However, current ABLB audiometry takes an operational model, so called face-to-face model, in which model one audiometrist can assess only one subject at a time. As a result, this face-to-face model leads to expensive audiometrist's labor cost and lengthy wait when there exist many subjects. As a solution, this paper suggests an ABLB audiometry system supporting one-to-many model in which model an audiometrist enables to assess several subjects concurrently. By providing such capabilities as real-time transfer of assessment result, video monitoring of subject and video chat, this solution can provide same effect as face-to-face model but overcome weakness of the existing face-to-face model.
