Recently, many human activity recognition(HAR) researches using smartphone sensor data have been studied. HAR can be utilized in various fields, such as life pattern analysis, exercise measurement, and dangerous situation detection. However researches have been focused on recognition of basic human behaviors or efficient battery use. In this paper, exercising activities performed indoors and outdoors were defined and recognized. Data collection and pre-processing is performed to recognize the defined activities by SVM, random forest and gradient boosting model. In addition, the recognition result is determined based on voting class approach for accuracy and stable performance. As a result, the proposed activities were recognized with high accuracy and in particular, similar types of indoor and outdoor exercising activities were correctly classified.

This paper suggests the system that allows nearby firefighters to read about the transmission direction of a distress signal and track the location by RSSI of received distress signal which is transmitted wirelessly after sensing the distress signal of a firefighter using the Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) in the building. Also, It was confirmed that the location tracking using RSSI is possible because the difference between theoretical value and experimental value is little when experiment using the proposed system.

In recent years, there have been many cases of damage to indoor air hazardous materials, and major damage due to the lack of quick action. In this regard, the system is intended to establish for sending push messages to the user's mobile when the concentration of hazardous substances is exceeded. This system extracts data with IoT system such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi and then constructs database through MongoDB and MySQL in cloud computing system. The database is imported through the application server using NodeJS and sent to the application for visualization. Also, when receiving signals about a dangerous situation in IoT system, push message is sent using Google FCM library. Mobile application is developed using Android Web view, and page to enter Web view is developed using HTML5 (HTML, Javascript CSS). The application of this system enables real-time monitoring of indoor air-dangerous substances. In addition, real-time information on indoor/outdoor detection location and concentration can be sent to the user's mobile in case of a risk situation, which can be expected to help the user respond quickly.

Recently, design and construction of street tunnels tend to focus on cost reduction and preservation of nature. Accordingly, research is actively being carried out to quickly detect fires when they occur in tunnels, which have partially closed structures. Among such research, fire detection methods using optical fiber sensors have a wide bandwidth and fast transmission speed, while using light as a medium. Therefore, it does not receive electrical interference and there is almost no loss of information during transmission, while also having little noise as well. In relation to this, a fire monitoring system that can accurately detect the location of fires in real time using shape memory alloy and optical cables was developed in this study. In order to verify the developed method, light loss measurement test was conducted according to indoor temperature changes, while also conducting fire simulation tests by installing test beds in common underground zones with different external environments of temperature and distance. Upon carrying out experiments, the fire monitoring system developed in this study was found to be able to detect fires in long distance sections in real time.

With the spread of smartphones containing multiple on-board sensors, the market for context aware applications have grown. However, due to the limited power capacity of a smartphone, users feel discontented QoS. Additionally, context aware applications require the utilization of many forms of context and sensing information. If context transition has occurred, types of needed sensors must be changed and each sensor modules need to turn on/off. In addition, excessive sensing has been found when the context decision is ambiguous. In this paper, we focus on power consumption associated with the context transition that occurs during indoor/outdoor detection, modeling the activities of the sensor associated with these contexts. And we suggest a freezing algorithm that reduces power consumption in context transition. We experiment with a commercial application that service is indoor/outdoor location tracking, measure power consumption in context transition with and without the utilization of the proposed method. We find that proposed method reduces power consumption about 20% during context transition.

In this research, we describe a security robot system and ongoing research results to control human's wrong direction in order to forbid human to enter security zone. Proposed robot system surveils a security area with equipped laserscanner sensor usually. When it detect walking human who is for the area, robot calculates his velocity vector, plans own path to forestall and interrupts him who want to head restricted area and starts to move along the estimated trajectory. The walking human is assumed to be a point-object and projected onto an scanning plane to form a geometrical constraint equation that provides position data of the human based on the kinematics of the mobile robot. While moving the robot continues these processes for adapting change of situation. After arriving at an opposite position human's walking direction, the robot advises him not to be headed more and change his course. The experimental results of estimating and tracking of the human in the wrong direction with the mobile robot are presented.

Computing environment is evolving rapidly to ubiquitous environment. It thus makes people access and utilize any resource on the move and makes location of objects rise to the rank of the most important information. However provision of location information is too restrictive in small environments such as a home or building. In this paper we propose a home entertainment system which supports user mobility based on sensor networks and distributed devices. The proposed system estimates a user location by using signal strength received from Bluetooth ad-hoc networks. This estimated location information can tell which device a user can take advantage of while moving. In order to prove possibility of user mobility support, the system is implemented on our UPnP A/V framework home entertainment system to provide content streaming and the result shows that a provision of service for mobile users could be possible in small ubiquitous computing environments.

하천 개수나 치수를 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로 수치모형을 이용한 검증 및 예측 과정이 요구되어 왔고, 고전적인 수치모의 방법으로 결과 산출이 용이한 1차원 모형을 적용시켜 왔다. 1차원 모형의 경우 모의영역을 쉽게 넓힐 수 있고, 입력 자료가 간단하다는 장점이 있지만, 수직적이고 수평적인 흐름특성 변화 및 난류 구조를 보이는 3차원적인 자연하천 흐름을 종방향의 1차원적인 모의 결과를 이용하여 평가한다는 점에서 비현실적이다. 하천을 가로질러 교각이나 보와 같은 구조물이 위치하고 있거나, 좌우 비대칭적인 형상의 수로를 모의할 경우 흐름특성의 공간적인 분포는 단순한 단면 평균적인 개념으로는 설명되기 힘들다. 최근에야 비로소 수공학 관련 실무자들에 의해서 최소한 2차원 수치모형을 기본적인 평가법으로 도입해야 한다는 분위기가 감지되고 있으며, 일반적으로 한강과 같은 대하천을 모의할 경우, 대다수의 실무자들과 연구자들이 축척을 문제 삼아 수로 내부에 위치한 교각을 생략하여 2차원 모의를 수행하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수로 내부에 위치한 교각을 2차원 모의하는 방법에 대한 비교 평가를 수행하고자 한다. 동일한 격자를 이용하여 교각을 고려하지 않았을 경우와 교각 형상을 모의 영역에서 삭제하여 경계처리를 하였을 경우, 마지막으로 교각이 위치하고 있는 영역에 항력을 적용하였을 경우에 대해서 비교 평가한다. 이를 위하여 2차원 천수방정식을 흐름방정식으로 하는 유한요소모형을 구축하였으며, 모형의 검증을 위해 교각이 수로에 위치할 경우에 대한 실내 실험 자료와 비교한다. 또한 검증된 모형을 이용하여 교각이 포함된 한강의 일부 구간을 선정하여, 교각 모의 방법에 대한 비교 평가를 수행한다. 본 연구에서 구축된 자료 및 제시된 수치모형은 하천복원, 치수관리 측면에서 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, we constructed a virtual auditory display(VAD) that enables listener to move in a room freely. The VAD system was installed in a soundproof room($4.7m(W){\times}2.8m(D){\times}3.0m(H)$). The system consisted of a personal computer, a sound presentation device, and a three-dimensional ultrasound sensor system. This system acquires listener's location and position from a three-dimension ultrasonic sensor system covering the entire room. Localization was realized by convolving the sound source with head related transfer functions(HRTFs) on personal computer(PC). The calculated result is generated through a LADOMi(Localization Auditory Display with Opened ear-canal for Mixed Reality). The HRTFs used in the experiment were measured for each listener with loudspeakers constantly 1.5m away from the center of the listener' s head in an anechoic room. To evaluate the system performance, we experimented a search task of a sound source position in the condition that the listener is able to move all around the room freely. As a result, the positioning error of presented sound source was within 30cm in average for all listeners.

Through the automatic sensing of the environment, USN technology can give the best services. In this work, we have developed an active RFID system and examined its performance. By implementing it into water quality sensors, we constructed a system that can detect diverse indoor/outdoor environment and provide information about the pollution level obtained from the temperature and PH sensors. Our RF system had an internal Print-on-PCB antenna for the miniaturization of the tag. We used a RF transceiver CC2510 chipset of TI company to realize the active RFID function. By using RSSI constants obtained, we performed the evaluation of real time location accuracy with a software written in Labview. Among 10 arbitrary locations, we obtained average measurement errors of 1.69 m in x axis and 1.66 m in y axis. This technology can be applied to logistics, environmental monitoring, prevention of missing children and various applications.
