We introduce VRSMS(VR-based sensor management system) which is the visualization system of micro-scale air quality monitoring system Airscope[3]. By adopting VR-based visualization method, casual users can get insight of air quality data intuitively. Users can also manipulate sensors in VR space to get specific data they needed. For adaptive visualization, we separated visualization and interaction methods from air quality data. By separation, we can get consistent way for data access so new visualization and interaction methods are easily attached. As one of the adaptive visualization method, we constructed large display system which consists of several small displays. This system can provide accessibility for air quality data to people one public space.

Data generated from sensors are exploding with recent development of IoT. This paradigm shift requires various industry fields that demand instant actions to analyze the arising data on a real-time basis, along with the real-time visualization analysis. As the existing visualization systems, however, perform visualization after storing data, the response time of the server cannot guarantee the ms-level processing that is close to real-time. They also have a problem of destroying data that can be major resources as they do not possess the process resources. Therefore, a smart gardening system that applies a real-time visualization algorithm using IoT sensing data under a gardening environment was designed and implement in this study. The response time of the server was measured to evaluate the performance of the suggested system. As a result, the response speed of the suggested real-time visualization algorithm was guaranteeing the ms-level processing close to real-time.

Visualization requires for effective analysis of the spatial data collected by various sensors. The best way to convey 3D digital spatial information which is modeling of the real world to the users, realistic 3D visualization and display technology. Since most of the display is based on 2D or 2.5D projection to the plane, there is limitation in representing real world in 3D space. In this paper, data from airborne LiDAR for topographic mapping, Flashi-LiDAR as emerging sensor with great potential to 3D data acquisition, and multibeam echo-sounder for underwater measurement, were stereoscopically visualized. 3D monitors are getting popular and could be information media and platform in geoinformatics. Therefore, study on creating 3D stereoscopic contents of spatial information is essential for new technology of stereo viewing systems.

Unexpected equipment defects can cause a huge economic losses in the society at large. Although condition monitoring can provide solutions, the signal processing algorithms must be developed to predict mechanical failures using data acquired from various sensors attached to the equipment. The signal processing algorithms used in a condition monitoring requires high computing efficiency and resolution. To improve condition monitoring on a wireless sensor network(WSN), data visualization can maximize the expressions of the data characteristics. Thus, this paper proposes the extraction of visual feature from temperature data over time using condition monitoring based on a WSN to identify environmental conditions of equipment in a large-scale infrastructure. Our results show that time-frequency analysis can visually track temperature changes over time and extract the characteristics of temperature data changes.

In this paper, we studied the voice recognition system kiosk for convenience, thinking that the kiosk widely used in modern society should compensate for the inconvenience of using by the visually impaired. Using ultrasonic sensor and PIR(Passive Infrared), it recognizes the visually impaired within the range of 80cm-40cm, introduces the kiosk through the MP3 module and induces them to come closer. Also, when the visually impaired within 40cm is recognized, the product description and order are guided through the MP3 module. A recording-based data voice recognition system and a kiosk that outputs desired items through servo motors were studied. A kiosk for the convenience of the visually impaired was manufactured through operation and optimization experiments of PIR, ultrasonic, voice recognition, and shock sensor for the manufactured voice recognition kiosk. Finally, it was confirmed that security can be strengthened by using shock sensors and emergency bells to enhance security.

We propose a wearable system to help the visually impaired persons for walking safely to destination. If a user selects a destination, the system guides the user to destination with position data from GPS receiver and shortest path algorithm. At the same time, after acquiring complex spatial structures in front of the user with ultrasonic sensors, we categorize them into several predefined patterns, and determine an avoidance direction by estimating the patterns. As a result, visually impaired persons can arrive at destination safely and correctly without others help.

파이프 용접은 중력의 영향으로 인하여 위치에 따라 같은 용접변수라도 비드 형상이 매우 달라 지게 된다. 또한 지금까지 많은 용접 기술자들이 위험하고 까다로운 환경에서 수작업으로 용접을 실행하였다. 따라서 이러한 이유로 용접 자동화 공정이 반드시 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 FCAW를 사용하여 파이프 모재 대신 필릿 평판을 아래보기, 위보기 자세를 포함하여 9개 자세에서 실행하였다. 용접 자세를 비롯한 용접 변수와 비드 형상 변수간의 관계를 비선형 회귀 분석과 구간적 3차 에르미트 보간법을 이용하여 주어진 용접 변수에서의 비드 단면의 형상을 예측하고, 비드의 결함 유무를 파악하였다. 이러한 방법을 통하여 자세에 따라서 용접 결함이 없는 용접 변수를 구할 수 있었다. 시각센서를 이용하여 용접 후 비드 형상에 대해 모니터링을 실시하였다. 모니터링의 알고리즘은 영상획득, 이진화, 세선화, 적응형 미디언 필터링, 적응형 허프 변환, 용접 결함 검출의 순서로 구성되어 있으며, 본 연구에서는 보다 빠른 영상처리를 위하여 적응형 미디언 필터링을 제시하였다. 모니터링을 통하여 2차원 비드 단면뿐만 아니라, 디루니 삼각법을 적용하여 3차원으로 비드 표면을 표현할 수 있다. 보간법을 사용하여 얻은 비드 형상과 시각 센서를 통하여 얻은 비드 형상간의 비교를 통하여 본 연구의 적합성 여부를 확인하였다.

It is possible to implement an optical character recognition system using a high-resolution camera mounted on smart phones in the modern society. Further, characters extracted from the implemented application is possible to provide the voice service for the visually impaired person by using TTS. But, it is difficult for the visually impaired person to properly shoot the objects that character information are included, because it is very hard to accurately understand the current state of the object. In this paper, we propose a method of inducing an appropriate shooting for the visually impaired persons by using a smartphone gyro sensor. As a result of simulation using the implemented program, we were able to see that it is possible to recognize the more character from the same object using the proposed method.

In this paper, an auxiliary device was implemented to help blind people more safely from obstacles or risk factors while walking. The ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles in the front, so that the noise gap and the vibration intensity of the buzzer can be heard differently by distance and angle, and so the situation can be perceived by pedestrians. When the ambient light becomes darker than the light intensity set using the CdS resistance value of the light sensor, the LED automatically turns on, makes it easier for pedestrians to recognize the position of the auxiliary device through buzzer if the pedestrian misses the aid using the gyro sensor's slope. Moreover, the location and situation of the blind were transmitted to the caregiver to check safety and behavior using GPS and Bluetooth.
