This paper proposes a system to detect driver's cognitive state by internal and external information of vehicle. The proposed system can measure driver's eye gaze. This is done by concept of information delivery and mutual information measure. For this study, we set up two web-cameras at vehicles to obtain visual information of the driver and front of the vehicle. We propose Gestalt principle based selective attention model to define information quantity of road scene. The saliency map based on gestalt principle is prominently represented by stimulus such as traffic signals. The proposed system assumes driver's cognitive resource allocation on the front scene by gaze analysis and head pose direction information. Then we use several feature algorithms for detecting driver's characteristics in real time. Modified census transform (MCT) based Adaboost is used to detect driver's face and its component whereas POSIT algorithms are used for eye detection and 3D head pose estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed system works well in real environment and confirm its usability.

In accordance with the development of various convergence devices, cameras are being used in many types of the systems such as security system, driver assistance device and so on, and a lot of people are exposed to these system. Therefore the system should be able to recognize the human behavior and support some useful functions with the information that is obtained from detected human behavior. In this paper we use a machine learning approach based on 2D image and propose the human behavior pattern recognition methods. The proposed methods can provide valuable information to support some useful function to user based on the recognized human behavior. First proposed one is "phone call behavior" recognition. If a camera of the black box, which is focused on driver in a car, recognize phone call pose, it can give a warning to driver for safe driving. The second one is "looking ahead" recognition for driving safety where we propose the decision rule and method to decide whether the driver is looking ahead or not. This paper also shows usefulness of proposed recognition methods with some experiment results in real time.

현재 도로 위 차량은 다양한 기능이 탑재되어 있고, 이는 운전자의 편의와 안전을 위해 발전해왔다. 하지만 음주운전과 안전운전 불이행에 의한 교통사고는 꾸준히 발생하고 있으며, 이 사고율은 단순히 제도적 규제와 운전자의 주의만으로는 감소시키기 어렵다고 판단된다. 본 논문은 제도적인 규범만이 아닌 기계적인 차원에서의 음주운전 사고 예방과 안전운전 불이행 사고의 방지를 하기 위해 '음주측정 시동 및 안전운전 보조시스템'을 제안한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 알코올 측정 센서를 통해 시동을 걸기 전 음주측정을 해 음주운전의 가능성을 차단하고 초음파 센서를 이용하여 전, 후·측방 감지를 하고 주변의 장애물과 운전자의 부주의 시 즉각적인 피드백을 제공해 안전운전 불이행 사고를 방지할 수 있다.

A recent spread of personal mobility devices such as electric kickboards has brought about a rapid increase in accident cases. Such vehicles are susceptible to falling accidents due to their low dynamic stability and lack of outer protection chassis. This paper presents the development of an automatic emergency braking system and a safe starting system as driving assistance devices for electric kickboards. The braking system employed artificial intelligence to detect nearby threaening objects. The starting system was developed to disable powder to the motor until when the driver's boarding is confirmed. This study is meaningful in that it proposes the convergence technology of advanced driver assistance systems specialized for personal mobility devices.

어라운드 뷰 시스템은 승용차의 앞뒤와 좌우 사이드 미러 하단에 1개씩 4개의 카메라를 이용해, 내비게이션 화면에 마치 차를 위에서 찍은 듯한 화면을 만들어 주는 기술이다. 최근 차량의 증가로 인해 사용자의 편의 및 안전에 대한 요구와 의존도가 증가함에 따라 운전자를 위한 보조 시스템이 구축되고 있다. 현재 운전자를 위한 보조 시스템으로 AVM(Around View Monitoring)기술이 개발되었다. 본 논문에서는 현재 시중에 제공되고 있는 다양한 어라운드 뷰 시스템들마다 인터페이스가 다르기 때문에 이를 어떻게 적용되었는지를 각 시스템들마다 비교분석하여 장점들을 알아보고, 이를 통해 각 인터페이스들의 장점들을 종합하여 효율적인 인터페이스를 제시하였다.

The researches on driver assistance systems that can prevent an accident have been actively performed due to social issues of traffic accidents with development of vehicle industry in recent. It is required for researchers to develope systems which assist driver's perception and judgment when considering that over 70% of traffic accidents occur by drivers' carelessness and 75% of the total accidents occur at the speed of less 29km per hour. In this paper, we implemented a front and rear vehicle monitoring system that monitors distance from a vehicle to obstacles in real-time at the low-speed or back-ward driving. The proposed system consists of ultrasonic sensors of high angle and wide angle of beam spread, ATmega128, and DSP processor.

The final step of driving a car is parking, which is the most difficult part for people learning to drive. Parking in narrow parking spaces is difficult for both ordinary drivers and beginners. To solve this problem, the development of SPAS (Smart Parking Assist System), ACC (Automatic Control System) improves the convenience of drivers. In addition, parking assistance systems have been developed to recognize more accurately the surrounding environment to the driver using the ultrasound, camera, thermal camera, and radar. This paper proposes the reverse turning radius to process images as if the camera is located in the center of the vehicle regardless of the actual camera position. In addition, it generates the parking guidelines through verification using the vehicle.

최근 다양하게 등장하고 있는 운전자를 위한 보조 장치 중 운전자의 주차를 위해 사용되는 장치들 중 하나인 차량용 카메라는 주로 차량 후방의 번호판 위에 주로 위치하여 운전자의 주차에 도움을 주는 역할에 사용이 되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 카메라를 이용하여 전 후방 및 좌 우측을 모두 보여주기 위한 AVM(Around View Monitor) 시스템이 개발되었다. 그러나 다수의 카메라를 사용하는 AVM시스템에서 운전자에게 통합된 영상을 제공하기 위해서는 카메라의 방사왜곡보정과 호모그래피(Homography) 알고리즘을 통해 정합하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 호모그래피 과정에서 결과 영상의 품질을 개선하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 방법을 구현하여 기존의 8DOF(Degree of Freedom)을 사용한 방법과 결과 영상의 품질을 비교함으로써 개선된 영상을 제공할 수 있음을 제시한다.

A ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) for the safe driving is an important area in autonumous car. Specially, a ADAS software using an image sensors attached in previous car is low in building cost, and utilizes for various purpose. A algorithm for detecting the break-lamp from the tail-lamp of preceding vehicle is proposed in this paper. This method can perceive the driving condition of preceding vehicle. Proposed method uses the YOLO techinicque that has a excellent performance in object tracing from real scene, and extracts the intensity variable region of break-lamp from HSV image of detected vehicle ROI(Region Of Interest). After detecting the candidate region of break-lamp, each isolated region is labeled. The break-lamp region is detected finally by using the proposed selective-attention model that percieves the shape-similarity of labeled candidate region. In order to evaluate the performance of the preceding vehicle break-lamp detection system implemented in this paper, we applied our system to the various driving images. As a results, implemented system showed successful results.
