This paper proposes the method to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth in a color image for making an avatar automatically. First, we use the HSI color model to exclude the effect of various light condition, and we find skin regions in an input image by using the skin color is defined on HS-plane. And then, we use deformable templates and Genetic Algorithm(GA) to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth. Deformable templates consist of B-spline curves and control point vectors. Those can represent various shape of a face, eyes and a mouth. And GA is very useful search procedure based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Second, an avatar is created automatically by using contours and Fuzzy C-means clustering(FCM). FCM is used to reduce the number of face color As a result, we could create avatars like handmade caricatures which can represent the user's identity, differing from ones generated by the existing methods.

This paper established the range of the wavelength of traffic lights to detection the color of traffic lights and the color component segmentation with the range of the wavelength. Development of traffic light automatic discrimination system is consists of the color detection and the traffic lights recognition. In this thesis, it established the range of the wavelength of traffic lights to detection the color of traffic lights and the color segmentation with the range of the wavelength. By the segmentation, the traffic light colors(red, orange and green) can be detected and the background is changed into gray image. Next, we proposed the algorithm which can detect the area of traffic lights in the various surroundings with the wavelet transformation algorithm. Also, we proposed traffic lights recognition algorithm using between the edge operator and the Hausdorff distance algorithm based on CBIR(Content-based Image retrieval). Therefore, the proposed algorithm is more superior to the conventional algorithm by experimenting with the illumination including the traffic lights and the backgrounds with various images.

To operate an automatic picking system in distribution center with high precision and high dynamics, this paper presents a robust control scheme of a linear induction motor (LIM) using the mass estimation and disturbance force observer. The force disturbance which gives a direct influence on the control performance of LIM is estimated in real-time through the disturbance observer and compensated by a feedforward manner. To get a satisfactory performance even under the mass variation by reducing the disturbance force due to the mismatched mass during the speed transient such as the acceleration and deceleration periods, a mass estimation algorithm is proposed. A Simulink model for LIM is developed and the validity of the proposed scheme is verified through the comparative simulation studies using Matlab - Simulink.

In the recently, the necessity of the hybrid type linear stepping motor(HLSM) of linear motion digital actuator has been increased in the various fields of the automatic control system. The HLSM is directly performed without any converting mechanism. Therefore, the HLSM is better advantaged in the efficiency and economical view than a rotary stepping motor. In this paper, we have designed an optimum tooth shape by the 2D finite element method(FEM) to develop the HLSM with longitudinal flux machine(LFM) type, and calculated the thrust force and normal force. And we have manufactured the prototype of it, and have experimented the thrust force characteristics of it.

This paper presents automatic moving object detection method using the rotating camera covering larger area with a single camera. The proposed method is based on the edge segment matching which robust to the dynamic environment with illumination change and background movement. The proposed algorithm presents an edge segment based background panorama image generation method minimizing the distortion due to image stitching, the background image generation method using Generalized Hough Transformation which can reliably register the current image to the panorama image overcoming the stitching distortions, the moving edge segment extraction method that overcome viewpoint difference and distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed method can detect correctly moving object under illumination change and camera vibration.

This paper proposed a novel SIT high frequency resonant inverter having drive signal phase shift control function. Phasor control type inverters using SIT can realize a power conversion on the high switching frequency with low switching loss. Especially, the high output power can be abstained by connecting the output voltage of two unit inverters In serIes. The stability of system using protection circuit for over current and the automatic follow-up control with load variation by PLL is presented. This inverter produce approximately sinusoidal waveform at a high frequency, switching frequency ranging from 180[kHz] to 220[kHz], and is applied to the 2[kW] induction heating. The operating characteristics of this inverter circuit are discussed from a theoretical point of view and compared with experimental results. results.

Due to the prolonged aftermath of COVID-19, the number of modern people suffering from stress and mental illness is increasing. Recently, various methods of color therapy are being studied using LED lighting to improve concentration, relieve stress, manage skin, and improve sleep quality. In this paper, pulse waves are measured and heart rate variability is extracted using a PPG (Photoplethysmogram) sensor to analyze a person's mental and physical state. Using RGBLED and Arduino, we propose a mood lighting system that automatically changes colors according to changes in mental and physical conditions by producing color lighting of various wavelengths, which are mainly used to stabilize the mental state.

In the hydraulic room of a forging press machine, a system which can detect and prevent risks at its early stage is needed because there may be a leakage due to the damage of the connection parts of the piping which can endanger human life and mechanical damage. In this paper, the system to automatically recognize a leakage of hydraulic fluid in terms of using the pan/tilt camera from a remote place is implemented. It finds the bounding boxes which are recognized with object regions in the process of labeling and detects the proper leakage regions of hydraulic fluid with the ratios of width and height of the bounding boxes and compactness of the leakage shape. Also, it performs noise removal and calibration for transition and rotation of image as a preprocessing process. The experimental results show that the proposed system has been verified to detect the leakage regions accurately in various sources of light.
