Abstract

In this Paper, we Propose the Low-cost Obstacle Recognition System Utilizing the Ultrasonic Sensor. Developed Obstacle Recognition System can be used to Aid the Visually Impaired Person. The Existence of the Obstacle is Notified to the Person through the Embodied Electronic Vibration Motor. The Timing Difference from the Recognition to the Notification Indicates the Distance to the Obstacle. Pulsed Ultrasonic Signal Controlled by MCU is Utilized and the Reflected Pulse through the Obstacle gives the Developed System the Existence of the Obstacle and the Distance to the Object. Pulse is sent Repetitively to Improve the Detection Accuracy. Developed Apparatus gives 30 Degree of Detection Angle and 2cm-30cm of the Detection Range when the Apparatus is Tested under Normal Walking Environment.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서를 이용한 저비용 장애물 인식 장치를 개발한다. 개발된 장애물 인식 장치는 시각 장애인들이 보행시 장애물을 인식하는 데 쓰일 수 있도록 한다. 장애물의 인식 여부는 내장된 모터의 진동을 통하여 시각 장애인들에게 인식이 가능하도록 한다. 뿐만 아니라 장애물의 거리에 따라 대상자에게 장애물 인식 유무에 대해 시간차를 두고 고지하여 대상자가 장애물에 대해 적절한 반응을 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 마이크로 컨트롤러 제어를 통한 펄스 신호를 이용하여 장애물에 대한 반사파를 통해 장애물의 존재 유무와 거리를 탐지하며 펄스 신호를 이용한 반사파 탐지는 반복 수행을 통해 인식률을 높인다. 개발된 장애물 인식 장치는 $30^{\circ}$ 내외의 전방 탐지각을 나타내고, 2cm-30cm의 탐지거리를 가지며 일상적인 보행 조건에서 동작이 가능함을 실험을 통해 입증하였다.
