This paper proposes the AMCS(Agricultural Machine Control System that distinguishes farms using satellite photos or drone photos of farms and controls the self-driving and operation of farm drones and tractors. The AMCS consists of the LSM(Local Server Module) which separates farm boundaries from sensor data and video image of drones and tractors, reads remote control commands from the main server, and then delivers remote control commands within the management area through the link with drones and tractor sprinklers and the PSM that sets a path for drones and tractors to move from the farm to the farm and to handle work at low cost and high efficiency inside the farm. As a result of AMCS performance analysis proposed in this paper, the PSM showed a performance improvement of about 100% over Dijkstra algorithm when setting the path from external starting point to the farm and a higher working efficiency about 13% than the existing path when setting the path inside the farm. Therefore, the PSM can control tractors and drones more efficiently than conventional methods.

The road management institute needs lots of cost to repair road surface damage. These damages are inevitable due to natural factors and aging, but maintenance technologies for efficient repair of the broken road are needed. Various technologies have been developed and applied to cope with such a demand. Recently, maintenance technology for road surface damage repair is being developed using image information collected in the form of a black box installed in a vehicle. There are various methods to extract the damaged region, however, we will discuss the image recognition technology of the deep neural network structure that is actively studied recently. In this paper, we introduce a new neural network which can estimate the road damage and its location in the image by region-based convolution neural network algorithm. In order to develop the algorithm, about 600 images were collected through actual driving. Then, learning was carried out and compared with the existing model, we developed a neural network with 10.67% accuracy.

The LiDAR sensor, which is widely regarded as one of the most important sensors, has recently undergone active commercialization owing to the significant growth in the production of ADAS and autonomous vehicle components. The LiDAR sensor technology involves radiating a laser beam at a particular angle and acquiring a three-dimensional image by measuring the lapsed time of the laser beam that has returned after being reflected. The LiDAR sensor has been incorporated and utilized in various devices such as drones and robots. This study focuses on object detection and recognition by employing sensor fusion. Object detection and recognition can be executed as a single function by incorporating sensors capable of recognition, such as image sensors, optical sensors, and propagation sensors. However, a single sensor has limitations with respect to object detection and recognition, and such limitations can be overcome by employing multiple sensors. In this paper, the performance of an eight-channel scanning LiDAR was evaluated and an object detection algorithm based on it was implemented. Furthermore, object detection characteristics during daytime and nighttime in a real road environment were verified. Obtained experimental results corroborate that an excellent detection performance of 92.87% can be achieved.

In this paper, a "Vehicle Analysis System(VAS) using cloud and data mining" is proposed that store all the sensor data measured in the vehicle in the cloud, analyze the stored data using the classification model, and provide the analyzed data in real time to the driver's display. The VAS consists of two modules. First, Sensor Data Communication Module(SDCM) stores the sensor data measured in the vehicle in a table of the cloud server and transfers the stored data to the analysis module. Second, Sensor Data Analysis Module(SDAM) analyzes the received data using the genetic algorithm and provides analyzed result to the driver in real time. The VAS stores sensor data collected in the vehicle in the cloud server without accumulating it in the vehicle, and stored data is analyzed in the cloud server, so that the sensor data can be quickly and efficiently managed without overloading the vehicle. In addition, the information desired by the driver can be visualized on the display, thereby increasing the stability of the autonomous vehicle.

The deep learning model can produce false prediction results due to inputs that deviate from training data through variation, which leads to fatal accidents in areas such as autonomous driving and security. To ensure reliability of the model, the model's coping ability for exceptional situations should be verified through various mutations. However, previous studies were carried out on limited scope of models and used several mutation types without separating them. Based on the CIFAR10 data set, widely used dataset for deep learning verification, this study carries out reliability verification for total of six models including various commercialized models and their additional versions. To this end, six types of input mutation algorithms that may occur in real life are applied individually with their various parameters to the dataset to compare the accuracy of the models for each of them to rigorously identify vulnerabilities of the models associated with a particular mutation type.

In this paper, we detect and track vehicles by type based on highway daytime driving videos taken with black boxes for vehicles. In addition, we design a real-time MR contents production method that can be newly created by placing substitute videos of each type of detected vehicles in the same location as the new background video. To detect and track vehicles by type, we use the YOLO algorithm. And we also use the mask technique based on RGB color for substitute videos of each type of vehicles detected. The size of the vehicle substitute videos to be used for MR content are substituted by the same size as the area size of the detected vehicles. In this paper, we confirm that real-time MR contents design is possible as a result of experiments and simulations and believe that It will be usefully utilized in the field of VR contents.

In this study, the process of providing information necessary to remove physical barriers such as road slopes that obstruct the activities of the disabled is in progress. Through experiments, we implement a quantified road surface roughness index that enables the implementation of IoT-based systems necessary for the elderly and the disabled to safely move to their destination. As a preliminary study, a road surface measurement device using a gyroscope was devised. To check the roughness and flatness of the road surface, X, Y displacement, and acceleration displacement were measured using a gyroscope. By calculating the measured data, the roughness and flatness of the road surface were quantified from 0 to 100. We implemented an algorithm that divides this index into 4 stages, displays it on a map, and provides it to users. Finally, a system for the disabled and elderly electric wheelchair users to secure basic mobility was established.

Spatial data is becoming very important as a medium that connects various data produced in smart cities, digital twins, autonomous driving, smart construction, and other applications. In addition, the rapid construction and update of spatial information is becoming a hot topic to satisfy the diverse needs of consumers in this field. This study developed a software prototype that can match the position of an image-based 3D building model produced without Ground Control Points using existing spatial data. As a result of applying this software to the test area, the 3D building model produced based on the image and the existing spatial data show a high positional matching rate, so that it can be widely used in applications requiring the latest 3D spatial data.

Road surface damage detection is essential for a comfortable driving environment and the prevention of safety accidents. Road management institutes are using automated technology-based inspection equipment and systems. As one of these automation technologies, a sensor to detect road surface damage plays an important role. For this purpose, several studies on sensors using deep learning have been conducted in recent years. Road images and label images are needed to develop such deep learning algorithms. On the other hand, considerable time and labor will be needed to secure label images. In this paper, the adversarial learning method, one of the semi-supervised learning techniques, was proposed to solve this problem. For its implementation, a lightweight deep neural network model was trained using 5,327 road images and 1,327 label images. After experimenting with 400 road images, a model with a mean intersection over a union of 80.54% and an F1 score of 77.85% was developed. Through this, a technology that can improve recognition performance by adding only road images was developed to learning without label images and is expected to be used as a technology for road surface management in the future.

Caravans are easily affected by external physical factors and often cause dangerous situations for passengers. Therefore, in order to secure the stability of the passenger, there is a need to develop a sway reduction device capable of preventing the sway phenomenon in advance. This paper aims to minimize the hitch angle between the tow vehicle and the caravan. Specifically, the initial instability of the caravan is detected through an IMU sensor mounted on each of the tow vehicle and the caravan, and a control value is calculated to reduce errors from the Hitch angle and Hitch yaw rate using a PID controller. Different braking torques are generated, distributed, and controlled on the left and right brakes of the caravan according to the calculated control value. It could be verified through the driving experiment that the hitch angle was decreased compared to the case where the performance of the sway reduction device was not controlled, and the transverse stability improvement rate was improved by 94.49% compared to before control.
