In this paper, we propose a gait pattern recognition method for intelligent prosthesis that enables walking in various environments of femoral amputees. The proposed gait mode changing method is a single sensor based algorithm which can discriminate gait surface and gait phase using only strain gauges sensor, and it is designed to simplify the algorithm based on multiple sensors of existing intelligent prosthesis and to reduce cost of prosthesis system. For the recognition algorithm, we analyzed characteristics of the ground reaction force generated during gait of normal person and defined gait step segmentation and gait detection condition, A gait analyzer was constructed for the gait experiment in the environment similar to the femoral amputee. The validity of the paper was verified through the defined detection conditions and fabricated instruments. The accuracy of the algorithm based on the single sensor was 95%. Based on the proposed single sensor-based algorithm, it is considered that the intelligent prosthesis system can be made inexpensive, and the user can directly grasp the state of the walking surface and shift the walking mode. It is confirmed that it is possible to change the automatic walking mode to switch the walking mode that is suitable for the walking mode.

In this paper, we have developed a portable acceleration measurement system to measure acceleration signals during walking and a gait analysis algorithm which can evaluate gait regularity and symmetry and estimate gait parameters automatically. Portable acceleration measurement system consists of a biaxial accelerometer, amplifiers, lowpass filter with cut-off frequency of 16Hz, one-chip microcontroller, EEPROM and RF(TX/RX) module. The algerian includes FFT analysis, filter processing and detection of main peaks. In order to develop the algorithm, eight hemiplegic patients for training set and the other eight hemiplegic patients for test set are participated in the experiment. Acceleration signals during 10m walking were measured at 60 samples/sec from a biaxial accelerometer mounted between L3 and L4 intervertebral area. The algorithm, detected foot contacts and classified right/left steps, and then calculated gait parameters based on these informations. Compared with video data and analysis by manual, algorithm showed good performance in detection of foot contacts and classification of right/left steps in test set perfectly. In the future, with improving the reliability and ability of the algerian so that calculate more gait Parameters accurately, this system and algerian could be used to evaluate improvement of walking ability in hemiplegic patients in clinical practice.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that provide services to consumers who want to conduct business by scientifically and systematically analyzing the number of pedestrians in a specific area over a specific period of time. In this paper, we proposed the algorithm to analyze the commercial area using the pedestrian-detect algorithm in the particular region using YOLO, one of the deep learning techniques. And with one image per minute in the images, the number of pedestrians is identified and this information is used for the analysis of business district on interesting area and time, systematically and objectively.

인간의 보행에는 다양한 분야에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 정보를 가지고 있어 의료분야와 수사기관에서 사용되고 있다. 보행 데이터로부터 유용한 정보를 얻어내기 위해 선행되어야 하는 작업은 보행주기를 판별하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 보행주기 판별을 위하여 발 뒷굽 닿기와 발가락 떼기 행동을 가속도 값과 각속도 값을 사용하여 알아내고, 정확도를 분석하는 알고리즘에 대해 논한다.

In this paper, we propose a parallel processing method of pedestrian detection algorithm based on ROI-CENTRIST. There is a difficulty in the real-time processing of pedestrian detection in the embedded environment, using the conventional pedestrian detection method. This problem can be solved by a parallel processing method of applying the ROI to the conventional algorithm. The proposed parallel processing method of pedestrian detection using ROI-CENTRIST show the result of 5.2 frames per second, which is about 10% improvement over the conventional pedestrian detection method based on CENTRIST.

In this paper, we describe a design method for the static walking algorithm of a subsea hexapod robot called Crabster (CR200). To design the gait algorithms of a hexapod robot, we propose a design method that uses a gait schedule vector and leg pair vector to secure convenience and expandability. Several walking algorithms are designed that are capable of being applied to CR200 according to the underwater environment and explorative conditions. In addition, gait transition is freely performed between algorithms by applying common control parameters to them. The gait algorithms designed using the proposed method are simulated using MATLAB and validated against the results of experiments.

The research for a 3-axial accelerometer sensor has increased dramatically in the fields of cellular phone, PDA, etc. In this paper, we develop a human walking detection algorithm using 3-axial accelerometer sensor and a user interface system to show the activity expenditure in real-time. To measure a walking number more correctly in a variety of walking activities including walking, walking in place, running, slow walking, we propose a new walking number detection algorithm using adaptive threshold value. In addition, we calculate the activity expenditure base on counted walking number and display calculated activity expenditure on UI in real-time. From the experimental results, we could obtain that the detection rate of proposal algorithm is higher than that of existing algorithm using a fixed threshold value about $5{\sim}10%$. Especially, it could be found out high detection rate in walking in place.

보행자 인식을 위한 컴퓨터 비전 알고리즘은 야간 상황과 같이 저조도 환경에서는 인식 성능이 떨어지고 있다. 이로 인하여 최근 저조도 환경에서 촬영된 영상으로 야간 상황에서 객체 인식 성능을 높이는 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 야간 환경은 주간 환경과는 다르게 광량이 적기 때문에 인간의 시각으로도 객체 인식에 어려움이 있고 일반적인 카메라로 촬영된 영상으로 객체 인식이 어렵다. 최근에는 NIR 카메라를 이용하여 촬영된 영상으로 야간 보행자 인식 알고리즘이 개발되고 있으나, 인식률과 객체 인식 가능 거리 및 범위가 한정적이다. 또한 기존의 야간 보행자 검출 기법들은 방대한 연산량이 필요하기 때문에 실시간 객체 인식이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 NIR 카메라로부터 촬영된 영상으로 preprocessing 후 ACF(Aggregated Channel Feature)를 이용하여 최근 연구되고 있는 카메라 움직임이 있는 야간 환경에서 보행자 인식 알고리즘을 PC 및 TK1 Board 환경에서 구현하고 객체 인식률을 높인다.
