본 논문은 2채널 센서를 이용한 펄스 옥시메터의 산소포화도 계산 모델의 설계 및 분석에 관한 것이었다. 또한 Beer Lambert 법칙에 의거하여 기존 알고리즘 및 새로운 알고리즘들을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 손가락을 투과한 2개의 채널에서 나온 광신호를 각각 직류성분 Adc 와 맥동성문 Aasin wt. 잡음성분 Ahnoise , ALnoise 등으로 모델링한다. 모델링 되어진 광신호를 맥동성분이 적분비를 사용하여 고주파 동잡음인 AHnoise 를 제거한 후 각각 산소포화도 계산을 위한 상관계수 그래프를 구한다. 또한 2개의 채널에서 적분비를 사용하여 구해진 상관계수 그래프를 사용하여 산소농도를 추출하는 방법에 관하여 기술하였다. 맥동성분비와 관혈적인 측정에 의한 혈중 산소포화도와의 상관관계 그래프의 선형성을 확보하기 위하여 펄스 옥시메터 시뮬레이터 오차범위를 고려해 75~100%상이의 산소포화도를 중점적으로 관측하였고, 4주기로 면적계산주기를 결정하여 실험하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가는 맥동성분의 적분비를 이용한 방법과 비교하였다. 비교결과는 4주기의 면적계산 주기를 가졌을 때 기존의 방식보다 평균오차가 0.7%정도 향상되었으며, 회귀적선의 신뢰도를 보여주는 결정계수 ${\gamma}$$^2$도 0.995로 기존의 방식에서 나온 0.979보다 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 2채널을 이용한 방법이 A Lnoise 제거와 성능면에서 우수하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an optimal placement of sensor nodes with 2.4GHz wireless channel characteristics. The proposed method determines optimal transmission range based on log-normal path loss model, and optimal number of sensor nodes calculating the density of sensor nodes. For the lossless data transmission, we search the optimal locations with self-organizing feature maps(SOM) using transmission range, and number of sensor nodes. We demonstrate that optimal transmission range is 20m, and optimal number of sensor nodes is 8. We performed simulations on the searching for optimal locations and confirmed the link condition of sensor nodes.

In this paper we present a position tracking system that checks the locations of moving targets in real-time. The system confirms that unknown object invades in watch area using 2 infrared sensors and detect the distance from each sensor to object using 4 ultrasonic sensors, and calculate the position of moving object in x-y coordinate. We specially present an algorithm that decide the location of target in case of target is detected in 2 sensors because of radiation beam width of ultrasonic sensor. We established the algorithm to hardware system and tested the system within a laboratory, and confirmed that the designed system tracked an object exactly in real-time.

스마트 컨테이너 제어를 위해서는 컨테이너 내부에 센서가 필요하나, 센서의 개수가 증가하면 비용 및 시스템 부하가 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)를 이용하여 얻은 컨테이너 내부 온도 데이터와 센서 위치 최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 컨테이너 내부 모니터링을 위한 최적의 센서 위치 결정 방법론을 제시한다. CFD 상용 SW로 컨테이너 내·외부 상황을 가정하여 내부 온도 데이터를 추출하고, 이를 바탕으로 내부 상태를 대표하는 공간들을 구분한다. 컨테이너 내벽에 부착된 센서가 탐지할 수 있는 능력을 탐지 거리 및 각도의 수식들로 나타내어 각 수식을 조합하여 센서의 탐지 능력을 수치화하고, 이 수치에 따라 균등하게 분포된 센서 위치 후보군 중, 선별된 공간을 탐지하는 센서 위치를 최적화하여 효율적인 컨테이너 제어를 위한 여건을 마련한다.

A vehicle rainfall sensor is made to control the operating speed of wipers depending on rainfall. Therefore this is the apparatus to determine the velocity phase of the wipers roughly based on the amount of rainfall. However, the technology which can judge the size of rainfall amount besides determining speed level of the wipers is developing according to the development of the function of rainfall sensor due to the development of technology. In this study, a rainfall measurement by using light scattering by precipitation particles was used. This measurement is to use light signal reflection from front glass and the bigger particle is the less detection of light by light scattering. The detection area of the rainfall sensor and detection channel were extended sizes to increase the accuracy of the rainfall. Also the W-S-R relational expression was developed by using a relationship between the specific precipitation (R) and the amount of sensor detection (S) when there is speed change of the wipers (W) and an indoor rainfall apparatus was used to convert sensing signal to rainfall. The signal system of vehicle rainfall sensor can be converted to the actual rainfall amount by using this formula and if this is provided to users then the vehicle observation network can produce higher-resolution than actual observation network can be produced.

SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) system is to find a global position and build a map with sensing data when an unmanned-robot navigates an unknown environment. Two kinds of system were developed. One is used distance measurement sensors such as an ultra sonic and a laser sensor. The other is used stereo vision system. The distance measurement SLAM with sensors has low computing time and low cost, but precision of system can be somewhat worse by measurement error or non-linearity of the sensor In contrast, stereo vision system can accurately measure the 3D space area, but it needs high-end system for complex calculation and it is an expensive tool. In this paper, we implement the SLAM system using a single camera image and a PSD sensors. It detects obstacles from the front PSD sensor and then perceive size and feature of the obstacles by image processing. The probability SLAM was implemented using the data of sensor and image and we verify the performance of the system by real experiment.

A structural health monitoring technique for locating impact position in a plate structure is presented in this paper. The method employs a single sensor and spatial focusing of time reversal (TR) acoustics. We first examine the TR focusing effect at the impact position and its surroundings through simulation and experiment. The imaging results of impact points show that the impact source location can be accurately estimated in any position of the plate. Compared to existing techniques for locating impact or acoustic emission source, the proposed method has the benefits of using a single sensor and not requiring material properties and geometry of structures. Furthermore, it does not depend on a particular mode of dispersive Lamb waves that is frequently used in other ultrasonic testings of plate-like structures.

Many studies have examined robot control using human bio signals but complicated signal processing and expensive hardware are necessary. This study proposes a method to recognize a human's hand motion using a low-cost EMG sensor and Flex sensor. The method to classify movement of the hand and finger is determined from the change in output voltage measured through MCU. The analog reference voltage is determined to be 3.3V to increase the resolution of movement identification through experiment. The robotic hand is designed to realize the identified movement. The hand has four fingers and a wrist that are controlled using pneumatic cylinders and a DC servo motor, respectively. The results show that the proposed simple method can realize human hand motion in a remote environment using the fabricated robotic hand.

Acoustic Emission (AE) technology is an effective nondestructive testing for continuous monitoring of defect formation and failures in structural materials. This paper presents a source location model using Acoustic Emission (AE) sensors in a Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) beam and the evaluation of the model was performed through lab experiments. 54 AE events were made on the surface of the 5m-PSC beam using a Schmidt Hammer and arrival times were measured with 7AE sensors. The source location f3r each event was estimated using least squares. The results were compared with actual positions and the RMSE (Root Mean Square Errors) was about 2cm.

This paper describes a simulation method to generate sensor measurements for location estimation of an underwater robot. Field trial of a navigation method of an underwater robot takes much time and expenses and it is difficult to change the environment of the field trial as desired to test the method in various situations. Therefore, test and verification of a navigation method through simulation is inevitable for underwater environment. This paper proposes a method to generate sensor measurements of range, depth, velocity, and attitude taking the uncertainties of measurements into account through simulation. The uncertainties are Gaussian noise, outlier, and correlation between the measurement noise. Also, the method implements uncertainty in sampling time of measurements. The method is tested and verified by comparing the uncertainty parameters calculated statistically from the generated measurements with the designed uncertainty parameters. The practical feasibility of the measurement data is shown by applying the measurement data for location estimation of an underwater robot.
