The electrochemical or optical sensors for environmental pollutants are developed over the past several years. Nowadays, the development of colorimetric sensing is particularly challenging since it requires no equipment at all as color changes can be detected by the naked eye. Visual detection can give immediate qualitative information and is becoming increasingly appreciated in terms of quantitative analysis. In addition, simple colorimetric-sensor have shown useful in the detection, identification, and quantification of volatile organic compounds(VOC) in gas phase or heavy metal ion in aqueous phase. In this review, we investigated the wide applications and some drawbacks of colorimetric-sensors. And thus, we try to suggest the methodologies of development approach of multi-functional and reversible colorimetric-sensor.

In this paper, we implemented an image sensor module possible of detecting color temperature in an indoor environment. The color temperature information in the video information acquired by the image sensor was matched with a color difference illuminometer to produce an LUT. An algorithm was developed so that color temperature information according to the received RGB values can be automatically calculated. As a result of measuring the color temperature with an image sensor indoors, an accurate result of less than 5.91% was obtained compared to the reference value. It was confirmed that the uniformity of 23.5% or more was excellent compared to the color temperature measurement result using a color sensor.

최근 유비쿼터스 환경을 실현하는 기술로서 사물 및 환경 정보를 센싱하여 필요한 정보를 수집 및 분석. 처리하는 센서네트워크 기술에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 최근 국내에서는 u-City와 u-Port 사업 등, 범국가적인 차원의 도입을 통해 환경 정보 모니터링, 홈 자동화, 자산 물류 응용 등의 다양한 센서네트워크를 이용한 서비스가 등장하였다. 이러한 기존의 응용서비스는 모든 센서노드가 고정되어 있는 환경에서 응용 대상의 데이터를 수집하는 서비스가 대부분이다. 그러나 동물의 생태 모니터링 등의 응용을 위해서는 센서를 움직이는 대상에 부착하여 이동하는 센서노드로부터 효율적으로 데이터를 수집하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동하는 센서로부터 효율적으로 데이터를 수집하기 위하여 이동노드 색인 기법을 설계한다. 아울러 제안하는 색인 기법을 위한 영역질의 처리 알고리즘을 제시한다.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is considered as a core technology necessary for Ubiquitous computing, with its numerous possible applications in many practical areas, is being researched and studied actively by many around the world. WSN utilizes wireless sensors spatially placed to gather information regarding temperature, light condition, motion and change in speed of the objects within their surrounding environment. This paper implements an environmental information monitoring and indexing system based on spatial indexing technique by constructing a WSN system. This Multi-Query Indexing Technique coupled with wireless sensors provides an output based on the pre-defined built-in data index and new input from the sensors. If environment data is occured, system have to perform a proper action after collecting and analyzing this data. This is the purpose of implementing environment data monitoring system. We constructed environmental application using TinyOS and built tested with MICAz sensor bords. We designed and implemented a monitoring system which detects and multi-indexing process environmental data from distributed sensors.

This study was conducted to develop a electronic circuit of primary color reaction for urine analyzer for measuring color response of urine strip. A primary color reaction system is equipped with the computer, electronic circuit, tray, detecting assembly and software. The determination of coefficient($R^2$) between reagent and color sensor were 0.9801(R), 0.9868(G) and 0.9837(B). To evaluate the system verification, we measured the primary color reaction of erythrocytes, Bilirubin, Urobilinogen, Ketones and Protein. We concluded that it is possible to use the developed the primary color reaction system for urine analyzer using u-health.

Sensor data have the characteristics such as numerous and continuous data. Therefore, it is required to develop an index which could retrieve a specific sensor data efficiently from numerous sensed data. The index should have an efficient delete operation for the past data to support the data archiving. In this paper, we have proposed and implemented an index splitting technique to support the sensor data archiving. These splitted indexes compose of a virtual index (that is, index management component), which is shown as single tree from outside. Experimental results show that in the case of 100,000 insert operations the splitted index performs 8% better than the traditional TB-tree maximumly. And the splitted index outperforms TB-tree with retrieving queries when the region of query is small and the size of time domain is large.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be more reliable and easier to program and use with the help of sensor database management systems (SDMS). SDMS establish a user-friendly SQL-based interface to process declarative user-defined queries over sensor readings from WSN. Typical queries in SDMS are ad-hoc snapshot queries and long-running, continuous queries. In SDMSs queries are flooded to all nodes in the sensor net, and query results are sent back from nodes that have qualified results to a base station. For query flooding to all nodes, and result flooding to the base station, a lot of communication energy consuming is required. This paper suggests an efficient in-network index solution, named Distributed Information Gathering (DIG) to process range queries in a sensor net environment that can save energy by reducing query and result flooding.

최근 무인로봇 시장이 커지면서 국방관련, 민간, 상업적으로 무인로봇의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이는 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없는 재난발생지역, 환경오염지역, 방사능위험지역, 국가 간 분쟁지역 등에 무인항공기나 무인지상로봇을 투입하여 실시간 원격으로 재난피해 정도를 관찰하고 인명구조작업, 생존자 위치파악, 국경지대 순찰 등에 효과적인 시스템으로 활용할 수 있다. 하지만, 제한적인 환경에서 가지고 있는 부품들이 기능을 제대로 동작하지 않을 때, 하나의 센서 또는 부품을 활용한 위치추적, 원격제어 및 자율주행 등이 가능해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 1개의 이미지 센서를 통해, 객체의 색을 인식하고 추적하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 특히, 기존의 거리감지 센서 기반의 색 객체 추적 알고리즘에 비교하여, 면적중심 값의 변화량에 따라 객체추적의 반응속도를 증가시켜 쉽게 객체를 추적할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

A color image requires at least three color channels to obtain the full color image. However the image sensor obtains only the intensity of the brightness, that is, three image sensors are required for every pixel to capture the full color image. Since the image sensor is quiet expensive, most of digital still cameras adopt single image sensor array with color filter array (CFA) to reduce the size and the cost. Since the image obtained using single sensor array has only one color component per pixel, we need to reconstruct the missing two color components to obtain the full color image. We call this process as color filter interpolation or demosaicking. In this paper, demosaicking algorithm composed of two large step is proposed. Proposed algorithm is combined with several different algorithms such as Edge-directed demosaicking, Second-order gradients as correction terms, Smooth hue transition Interpolation, etc. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs much better than the state-of-the-art demosaicking algorithms in terms of both subjective and objective qualities.

This paper proposes a driving current control method for a back light unit (BLU), consisting of red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), whereby an RGB optical sensor is used to check the output color stimulus variation to enable a time-stable color stimulus for light emission by the RGB LED BLU. First, to obtain the present color stimulus information of the RGB LED BLU, an RGB to XYZ transform matrix is derived to enable CIEXYZ values to be calculated for the RGB LED BLU from the output values of an RGB optical sensor. The elements of the RGB to XYZ transform matrix are polynomial coefficients resulting from a polynomial regression. Next, to obtain the proper duty control values for the current supplied to the RGB LEDs, an XYZ to Duty transform matrix is derived to calculate the duty control values for the RGB LEDs from the target CIEXYZ values. The data used to derive the XYZ to Duty transform matrix are the CIEXYZ values for the RGB LED BLU estimated from the output values of the RGB optical sensor and corresponding duty control values applied to the RGB LEDs for the present, first preceding, and second preceding sequential check points. With every fixed-interval check of the color stimulus of the RGB LED BLU, the XYZ to Duty transform matrix changes adaptively according to the present lighting condition of the RGB LED BLU, thereby allowing the RGB LED BLU to emit the target color stimulus in a time-stable format regardless of changes in the lighting condition of the RGB LEDs.
