A Visual Light Communication(VLC) system is a concept of converging illumination with communication. Design of the VLC system aims mainly at minimizing flicker for the illumination and maximizing transmission distance for the communication. This paper proposes an effective detection scheme of the transmitted signal by attenuating noises which may be included in the signal, and then presents implementation results. Inserting designated low and high pass filters in first and second implementations, the receiver became to improve the perception rate of transmitted signals. This verified a relatively higher possibility of receiving data in a dim light, so that the communication distance can be expanded in the visual light communication system.

This study presents the development of an integrated oil purification system consisting of moisture removal, oil flushing, and oil filtering devices. In this system, the oil flushing device is combined with a micro-bubble generator. Oil purification is necessary for ensuring the high performance of the lubricant through the efficient removal of contaminants and thus enables good maintenance of mechanical systems. The developed purification system removes moisture, varnish, and solid particles. Moreover, during oil purification, the oil flushing device separates foreign materials and contaminants remaining in the lubricating oil piping or mechanical systems. The microbubble generator, which is combined with the oil flushing device, can separate harmful contaminants, such as sludge, wear particles, and rust, from piping or lubrication systems through the cavitation effect. Moisture is removed using a double high-vacuum chamber, while sludge and varnish are removed via electro-absorption using a high-voltage generator. Additionally, the total maintenance cost of the system is reduced through the use of domestically fabricated cartridge filters composed of glass fiber and cellulose. The heater, which maintains the temperature of the lubricant at 60℃, can process 41,000 L of lubricant simultaneously. Multiple tests confirmed that the proposed integrated purification system exhibits good performance in oil flushing and removal of water and varnish.

딥러닝 기반의 영상 분석 방법들은 많은 양의 학습 데이터가 필요하며, 학습 데이터 구축에는 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 특히 객체 검출 분야의 경우 영상 내 객체의 위치, 크기, 범주 등의 정보가 모두 필요하여 학습 데이터 구축에 더 많은 어려움이 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위해 최근 이미지 합성기반 데이터 증강에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이미지 합성기반 데이터 증강 방법은 배경 영상에 객체를 합성할 때 객체와 배경 영상이 접한 영역에서 아티팩트(Artifact)가 발생하며, 이는 객체 검출 모델이 아티팩트를 객체의 특징으로 모델링하여 검출 성능이 저하되는 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 양방향 필터 기반의 이미지 합성 방법을 제안하고, 단일 단계 검출의 대표적인 방법인 RetinaNet을 이용하여 이미지 합성기반 데이터 증강 방법의 성능을 분석하였다. 공개 데이터셋에 대한 실험 결과 본 논문에서 사용한 단일 검출 방법 및 데이터 증강 기법을 사용하면 더 적은 양의 증강 데이터로 기존 방법과 동일한 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

Existing arterial link travel time estimation methods relying on either aggregate point-based or individual section-based traffic data have their inherent limitations. This paper demonstrates the utility of data fusion for improving arterial link travel time estimation. If the data describe traffic conditions, an operator wants to know whether the situations are going better or worse. In addition, some traffic information providing strategies require predictions of what would be the values of traffic variables during the next time period. In such situations, it is necessary to use a prediction algorithm in order to extract the average trends in traffic data or make short-term predictions of the control variables. In this research. a multi-step ahead prediction algorithm using Data fusion was developed to predict a link travel time. The algorithm performance were tested in terms of performance measures such as MAE (Mean Absolute Error), MARE(mean absolute relative error), RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), EC(equality coefficient). The performance of the proposed algorithm was superior to the current one-step ahead prediction algorithm.

Flow cytometer is one of the instrument that can measure various optical properties of a single cell or microparticle. These parameters including size, granularity, and fluorescence intensity are determined by the physical and optical interaction of the cells with excitation light source. However, users have some difficulties such as high cost, size of instrument, and limited fluorescence selectivity. In addition, abundant data is also unintentionally acquired even though user wants to have a single optical parameter. For these reasons, the use of flow cytometer is more challenging for researchers to apply their study. Therefore, the proposed study aims to develop a low-cost portable fluorescence acquisition system using a commercially available light-emitting diode and photodiode. It is designed by a 3D printer, and fluorescence selectivities are increased by changing of the light source / optical filter / detection sensor. Various number sets of fluorescently labeled cells were measured, and its feasibility was evaluated through the proposed system. As a result, acquried fluorescence intensities were proportional to the concentration of the cells and showed high linearity.

BACKGROUND: In the month of January 2018, fine dust alerts and warnings were issued 36 times for $PM_{10}$ and 81 times for PM2.5. Air quality is becoming a serious issue nation-wide. Although interest in air-purifying plants is growing due to the controversy over the risk of chemical substances of regular air-purifying solutions, industrial spread of the plants has been limited due to their efficiency in air-conditioning perspective. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study aims to propose a vegetation-based bio-filter system that can assure total indoor air volume for the efficient application of air-purifying plants. In order to evaluate the quantitative performance of the system, time-series analysis was conducted on air-conditioning performance, indoor air quality, and comfort index improvement effects in a lecture room-style laboratory with 16 persons present in the room. The system provided 4.24 ACH ventilation rate and reduced indoor temperature by $1.6^{\circ}C$ and black bulb temperature by $1.0^{\circ}C$. Relative humidity increased by 24.4% and deteriorated comfort index. However, this seemed to be offset by turbulent flow created from the operation of air blowers. While $PM_{10}$ was reduced by 39.5% to $22.11{\mu}g/m^3$, $CO_2$ increased up to 1,329ppm. It is interpreted that released $CO_2$ could not be processed because light compensation point was not reached. As for the indoor comfort index, PMV was reduced by 83.6 % and PPD was reduced by 47.0% on average, indicating that indoor space in a comfort range could be created by operating vegetation-based bio-filters. CONCLUSION: The study confirmed that the vegetation-based bio-filter system is effective in lowering indoor temperature and $PM_{10}$ and has positive effects on creating comfortable indoor space in terms of PMV and PPD.

Due to the rapid increase of available contents via the convergence of broadcasting and internet, the efficient access to personally preferred contents has become an important issue. In this paper, for recommendation scheme for TV programs using a collaborative filtering technique is studied. For recommendation of user preferred TV programs, our proposed recommendation scheme consists of offline and online computation. About offline computation, we propose reasoning implicitly each user's preference in TV programs in terms of program contents, genres and channels, and propose clustering users based on each user's preferences in terms of genres and channels by dynamic fuzzy clustering method. After an active user logs in, to recommend TV programs to the user with high accuracy, the online computation includes pulling similar users to an active user by similarity measure based on the standard preference list of active user and filtering-out of the watched TV programs of the similar users, which do not exist in EPG and ranking of the remaining TV programs by proposed rank model. Especially, in this paper, the BM (Best Match) algorithm is extended to make the recommended TV programs be ranked by taking into account user's preferences. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme with the extended BM model yields 62.1% of prediction accuracy in top five recommendations for the TV watching history of 2,441 people.

This Paper proposes an adaptive error diffusioThis paper proposes an adaptive error diffusion algorithm for text enhancement followed by an efficient text segmentation that uses the maximum gradient difference (MGD). The gradients are calculated along with scan lines, and the MGD values are filled within a local window to merge the potential text segments. Isolated segments are then eliminated in the non-text region filtering process. After the left segmentation, a conventional error diffusion method is applied to the background, while the edge enhancement error diffusion is used for the text. Since it is inevitable that visually objectionable artifacts are generated when using two different halftoning algorithms, the gradual dilation is proposed to minimize the boundary artifacts in the segmented text blocks before halftoning. Sharpening based on the gradually dilated text region (GDTR) prevents the printing of successive dots around the text region boundaries. The error diffusion algorithm with edge enhancement is extended to halftone color images to sharpen the tort regions. The proposed adaptive error diffusion algorithm involves color halftoning that controls the amount of edge enhancement using a general error filter. The multiplicative edge enhancement parameters are selected based on the amount of edge sharpening and color difference. Plus, the additional error factor is introduced to reduce the dot elimination artifact generated by the edge enhancement error diffusion. By using the proposed algorithm, the text of a scanned image is sharper than that with a conventional error diffusion without changing background.
