The missing child problem is no more a personal problem. It became a social problem that all parents must consider. To this, this study applies USN/RFID technology integrated with GIS for the prevention of missing child. Although RFID is not designed for location sensing, but now it is regarded as a device to facilitate real time location awareness. Such advantages of RFID can be integrated with 4S(GIS/GPS/LBS/GNSS) achieving much synergy effects. In order to prevent kidnapping and missing child, it is necessary to provide a missing child preventing system using a ubiquitous computing system. Therefore, the missing child preventing system has been developed using high-tech such as RFID, GPS network, CCTV, and mobile communication. The effectiveness of the missing child prevention system can be improved through an accurate location tracking technology. This study propose and test a location sensing system using the active RFID tags. This study verifies technical applied service, and presents a system configuration model. Finally, this paper confirms missing child prevention system utilization possibility.

We desinged and evaluated a remote-sensing sex pheromone trap for real-time monitoring of Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a migratory insect in Korea. The system consisted of a modified cone-trap with a sex pheromone lure, a sensing module based on light interruption, a signal transmission module based on code division multiple access, a main electronic board for system control, a power supply based on a solar collector, a stainless steel-pole supporting the system, and a signal collection and display system based on an internet web page. The ratio (>92%) of the actual number of insects to the signal number in the remote-sensing trap was improved by sensing only within a limited period at night on the basis of the insect's circadian rhythm, control of signal sensitivity on the basis of sensing software programming, 1-h interval for signal transmission, and adjustment of the signal transmission program. The signal occurrence pattern in the remote-sensing trap was conclusively similar (correlation coefficient, >0.98) to the actual pattern of adult occurrence in the trap. The result indicated that the remote-sensing trap based on the attraction of the sex pheromone lure for M. separata has a promising potential for practical use. Occurrence of M. separata adults was observed several times in 2011 and 2012, and the peaks were sharp.

Electric Pole is a supporting beam used for power transmission/distribution which is sensitive to external force change of environmental factors. Therefore, power facilities have many difficulties in terms of maintenance/conservation from external environmental changes and natural disasters that cause a great economic impact. The aerial wire cause elasticity due to the influence of temperature, or factors such as wind speed and wind direction, that weakens the electric pole. The situation may lead to many safety risk in day-to-day life. But, the safety assessment of the pole is carried out at the design stage, and aftermath is not considered. For the safety and maintenance purposes, it is very important to analyze the influence of weather factors on external forces periodically. In this paper, we analyze the acceleration data of the sensor nodes installed in electric pole for maintenance/safety purpose and use Kalman filter as noise compensation method. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is performed to analyze the influence of each meteorological factor, along with the meteorological factors on frequency components. The result of the analysis shows that the temperature, humidity, solar radiation, hour of daylight, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed were influential factors. In this paper, the influences of meteorological factors on frequency components are different, and it is thought that it can be an important factor in achieving the purpose of safety and maintenance.

ICT 융합 스마트팜 내의 환경계측 센서, 영상 및 사양관리 시스템의 증가에도 불구하고 이들 장비에서 확보되는 데이터를 적절히 유효하게 활용하는 기술이 미흡한 실정이다. 돈사의 경우 가축의 복지수준, 성장 변화를 실시간으로 모니터링 및 예측할 수 있는 데이터 분석 및 모델링 기술 확보가 필요하다. 이를 위해선 가축의 생리적 변화 및 행동적 변화를 조기에 감지하고 가축의 복지수준을 실시간으로 감시하고 분석 및 예측 기술이 필요한데 이를 위한 대표적인 정보 통신 공학적 접근법 중에 하나가 Data mining 이다. Data mining에 대한 연구 수행에 필요한 다양한 소프트웨어 중에서 Open source로 제공이 되는 4가지 도구를 비교 분석하였다. 스마트 돈사 내에서 열환경 모델링을 목표로 한 데이터 분석에서 고려해야할 요인으로 데이터 분석 알고리즘 도출 시간, 시각화 기능, 타 라이브러리와 연계 기능 등을 중점 적으로 분석하였다. 선정된 4가지 분석 도구는 1) R(https://cran.r-project.org), 2) OpenCV(http://opencv.org), 3) OpenNN (http://www.opennn.net), 4) Orange(http://orange.biolab.si) 이다. 비교 분석을 수행한 운영체제는 Linux-Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS(X64)이며, CPU의 클럭속도는 3.6 Ghz, 메모리는 64 Gb를 설치하였다. 개발언어 측면에서 살펴보면 1) R 스크립트, 2) C/C++, Python, Java, 3) C++, 4) C/C++, Python, Cython을 지원하여 C/C++ 언어와 Python 개발 언어가 상대적으로 유리하였다. 데이터 분석 알고리즘의 경우 소스코드 범위에서 라이브러리를 제공하는 경우 Cross-Platform 개발이 가능하여 여러 운영체제에서 개발한 결과를 별도의 Porting 과정을 거치지 않고 사용할 수 있었다. 빌트인 라이브러리 경우 순서대로 R 의 경우 가장 많은 수의 Data mining 알고리즘을 제공하고 있다. 이는 R 운영 환경 자체가 개방형으로 되어 있어 온라인에서 추가되는 새로운 라이브러리를 클라우드를 통하여 공유하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. OpenCV의 경우 영상 처리에 강점이 있었으며, OpenNN은 신경망학습과 관련된 라이브러리를 소스코드 레벨에서 공개한 것이 강점이라 할 수 있다. Orage의 경우 라이브러리 집합을 제공하는 것에 중점을 둔 다른 패키지와 달리 시각화 기능 및 망 구성 등 사용자 인터페이스를 통합하여 운영한 것이 강점이라 할 수 있다. 열환경 모델링에 요구되는 시간 복잡도에 대응하기 위한 부가 정보 처리 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하여 스마트팜 열환경 모델링을 실시간으로 구현할 수 있는 방안 연구를 수행할 것이다.

모돈은 사육 특성상 제한된 파일롯 공간 안에 장시간 머물기 때문에 과중한 몸무게에 의한 지제 이상, 섭식 등의 불량, 수면상태의 불량 등을 지속적으로 관찰해야 하는 대상이다. 측면에 다수의 초음파 센서를 설치하여 기립의 상태 및 운동 시 몸체 궤적의 특성을 분석하여 종합적으로 모돈의 행동 특성을 정량화 하고자 하였다. 이 과정에서 계측 신호의 값을 대수적으로 비교하는 방식에 한계가 있음을 발견하였고, 이를 해결하고자 10 Hz/Ch 내외의 시계열 상대거리 궤적 신호를 주파수 도메인으로 변경하여 분석을 수행하였다. 일정 주파수에 집중되어 있는 주파수 값의 크기 변화(파워 스펙트럼 밀도)를 기준으로 모돈의 움직임의 정상 상태 유무 판별이 가능하였다. 단, 이러한 분석은 계측 데이터를 일괄 처리 방식으로 분석하는 방법으로 도출이 되었으므로, 계측과 정량 분석을 동시에 수행하기 위한 개선이 필요하였다. 계측 시스템에서 사용한 마이크로 프로세서는 Nucleo-446(STMelectronics, CA, USA)로 180 Mhz의 클럭 속도로 작동하나, 총 100 Hz 내외의 16비트 계측 신호에 대해 추가적으로 FFT 등의 주파수 변환 신호 처리를 수행하기에는 연산 능력이 부족하였다. 한편, 주파수 분석의 주기를 1분 단위로 할 경우 처리해야할 정보의 크기는 $100{\times}60{\times}5{\times}2Byte$ 이므로 1분 내에 해당 연산을 종료할 수 있는 추가의 연산 장치가 필요하였다. 계측과 주파수 도메인 변환 연산을 동시에 수행하기 위하여 1 Ghz의 연산능력을 가진 ARM A9 계열의 초소형 멀티코어 AP인 NanoPi Neo Air(Friendlyarm, Guangzhou, China)을 선정하였다. 4개의 코어를 각각 계측, Median 필터링, Smoothing 연산, FFT 분석에 사용하여 1분 단위, 2분 단위, 5분 단위의 주파수 분석을 동시에 수행하였다. 병렬 연산 라이브러리는 오픈 소스인 MPICH(www.mpich.org)를 이용하였다. 상대적으로 여유있는 자원을 보유하고 코어를 실시간으로 결정하여 다수의 모돈 개체 동시 모니터링을 위한 네트워크 연결 역할을 동시에 수행하도록 하였다. 1주일 내외의 요인 실험 수행 결과, 약 70 Mbyte의 데이터가 축적이 되었으며, 1분 단위, 2분 단위, 5분 단위의 주파수 도메인 변환 후 결과를 동시에 취득할 수 있었다. 일부 주파수 도메인 상의 파워 밀도 값이 모돈의 행동 특성에 분석에 유효한 정보를 제공함을 발견하였다. 모돈사 내 현장 보급이 가능한 초소형 AP와 멀티 코어 기반 병렬 처리 기법을 이용한 현장 진단 시스템 개발 연구를 지속적으로 수행할 것이다.

Along the seashore regions in Korea, though strong winds with very large strength are frequently witnessed, no system which can provide appropriate speed information for driving vehicle has been introduced. The driving against strong winds could be very dangerous because of the high possibility of accidents such as rollover and collision. These accidents usually resulted from driver's forced driving try even in difficult situation for steering vehicle, and sometimes overspeed without consideration of wind impact to the vehicles. To reduce accident caused by strong winds, it is important to inform drivers of appropriate driving speeds by perceiving strong winds. By setting up WIS at the main points where strong winds frequently appear and using the variable message sign(VMS) connected to the on-line whether information system, it tis possible to provide desired speed information, which can maintain vehicles' tractive force and maximum running resistance. The case study is conducted on the case of Mokpo-Big-Bridge, which is under construction at Mokpo city. The result show that in case the annual average direction of wind is South and the wind speed is over 8m/hr, the desired speed, which is required in order for vehicles running to South direction to maintain the marginal driving power, is 60km/hr. In addition, for the case of a typhoon such as Memi generated in 2003 year, if wind speed had been 18m/sec in Mokpo city at that time, the running resistance at the speed of 40km/hr is calculated as 1131N. This resistance can not be overcome at the 4th gear(1054N) level, therefore, the gear of vehicles should be reduced down to the 3rd level. In this case, the appropriate speed is 40km/h, and at this point the biggest difference between running resistance and tractive force is generated.

This study investigates the feasibility of three algorithms, K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network (NN), for estimating the air temperature of an unobserved area where the weather station is not installed. The satellite image were obtained from Landsat-8 and MODIS Aqua/Terra acquired in 2019, and the meteorological ground weather data were from AWS/ASOS data of Korea Meteorological Administration and Korea Forest Service. In addition, in order to improve the estimation accuracy, a digital surface model, solar radiation, aspect and slope were used. The accuracy assessment of machine learning methods was performed by calculating the statistics of R² (determination coefficient) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) through 10-fold cross-validation and the estimated values were compared for each target area. As a result, the neural network algorithm showed the most stable result among the three algorithms with R² = 0.805 and RMSE = 0.508. The neural network algorithm was applied to each data set on Landsat imagery scene. It was possible to generate an mean air temperature map from June to September 2019 and confirmed that detailed air temperature information could be estimated. The result is expected to be utilized for national disaster safety management such as heat wave response policies and heat island mitigation research.
