Passive sampler using 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1, 2, 4-triazole (AHMT) was developed to determine formaldehyde in indoor environment. The chromatography paper cleaned by $3\%$ hydrogen peroxide solution was experimently determined as a optimum absorbtion filter for the collection of formaldehyde. The passive sampler with a broad cross-sectional area and a short diffusion length was quite good in sensitivity. The passive sampler and the active sampling method with an impinger were strongly correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.9848. The limits of detection and quantification of the passive sampler for the measurement of formaldehyde in the indoor environment were 7.5 and 10.2 ppb, respectively. Temperature ($19\∼28^{circ}C$) and relative humidity ($30\∼90\%$) had slight influence on the sampling rate of the passive sampler. However, the increase of flow velocity on the surface of sampler resulted in the increase of sampling rate.

In this paper, a registration method is presented to register partial 3D point clouds, acquired from a multi-view camera, for 3D reconstruction of an indoor environment. In general, conventional registration methods require a high computational complexity and much time for registration. Moreover, these methods are not robust for 3D point cloud which has comparatively low precision. To overcome these drawbacks, a projection-based registration method is proposed. First, depth images are refined based on temporal property by excluding 3D points with a large variation, and spatial property by filling up holes referring neighboring 3D points. Second, 3D point clouds acquired from two views are projected onto the same image plane, and two-step integer mapping is applied to enable modified KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) to find correspondences. Then, fine registration is carried out through minimizing distance errors based on adaptive search range. Finally, we calculate a final color referring colors of corresponding points and reconstruct an indoor environment by applying the above procedure to consecutive scenes. The proposed method not only reduces computational complexity by searching for correspondences on a 2D image plane, but also enables effective registration even for 3D points which have low precision. Furthermore, only a few color and depth images are needed to reconstruct an indoor environment.

House dust mite was the most important cause of allergic asthma and rhinitis. More than 70% of Korean children and about 50% of adult with respiratory allergy were sensitive to house dust mite. This experiment was indoor environment in house and house dust mite existence inquiry. From 23rd December 2005 to 28th February 2006, dust samples were collected from the bedclothes by a vacuum cleaner and air sampler And the levels of Der f1 and Der p1 were determined by ELISA((Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). The results were as follows : 1 The dust mites allergy contaminations of bedclothes in house were higher than international standards(2000 ng/g). 2. In type of dust mite, the Korean house the almost have the D. farinae other than D. pteronyeeinus of mite. 3. The Der f1 and Der p1 levels per gram of dust from the bedclothes were 2074.99 ng on average, but they did not exist in air. The concentrations of house dust mite were significantly high in the bedclothes. This results suggest that the bedclothes have enough concentrations of dust mites to develop the sensitization. The control of indoor environment should be emphasized to prevent the sensitization by the repeated exposure to dust mite.

In this paper, we provide data of wireless environment in indoor for Bluetooth and wireless LAN systems. To accurately measure transmission characteristic for influence of the indoor wall, we used radiation measurement system with antennas. And various structure and material of the indoor wall are measured. Results of the measurement show that the attenuation of power is about $1\sim3dB$ for cement wall(25cm). In the case of cement wall with steel frame, the attenuation of power was increased using horizontal polarization but was not affect using vertical polarization.

Indoor air quality was investigated in homes and daycares located in areas with heavy traffic in Seoul, South Korea from November 2013 to January 2014. Indoor and outdoor air quality measurements were collected for 48 hours in four children's homes and daycare centers. The I/O ratio (Indoor to outdoor ratio) for each major air pollutant ($NO_2$, black carbon, $PM_{10}$, and $PM_{2.5}$) was calculated, and $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ concentration profiles were analyzed based on indoor activity diaries recorded during the 48 hours. Most I/O ratios for $NO_2$, black carbon, $PM_{10}$, and $PM_{2.5}$ at daycare centers were less than one. At homes, I/O ratios for black carbon, $PM_{10}$, and $PM_{2.5}$ were less than one; however, most I/O ratios for $NO_2$ were greater than one due to the usage of gas stoves. The children's exposure to indoor air pollutants was calculated using a time-weighted average exposure method, and the daily intake level for each pollutant was determined.

This study was attempted to survey on the prevalence of canine heartworm infection (Dirofilaria immitis) in the Incheon area in 2006. This study showed comparative infection rates of canine heartworm in conjunction with different geographic locations and rearing environments (i.e., indoor, outdoor or free roaming). In total, 24 dogs (6.0%) were D. immitis positive among a total of 400 tested dogs. The geographic distribution of detection rates was Nam-gu (2 dogs, 6.7%), Yeonsu-gu (1 dog, 3.0%), Namdonggu (5 dogs, 8.0%), Pupyoung-gu (4 dogs, 6.7%), Kanghwa-gun (8 dogs, 13.0%), and Onjin-gun (4 dogs, 11.1%). In addition, 4 dogs (2.0%) or 20 dogs (10.0%) were positive for D. immitis among 202 indoor dogs or 198 outdoor dogs including free roaming dogs, respectively, while 13 dogs (11.7%) were positive for D. immitis among 111 outdoor dogs excluding free roaming dogs. In the case of 87 free roaming dogs, 7 dogs (8.1%) among them were positive for D. immitis.

본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라부터 획득된 부분적인 3D 점군을 사용하여 실내환경의 3D 복원을 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 지금까지 다양한 양안차 추정 알고리즘이 제안되었으며, 이는 활용 가능한 깊이 영상이 다양함을 의미한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 일반화된 다시점 카메라를 이용하여 실내환경을 복원하는 방법을 다룬다. 첫 번째, 3D 점군들의 시간적 특성을 기반으로 변화량이 큰 3D 점들을 제거하고, 공간적 특성을 기반으로 주변의 3D 점을 참조하여 빈 영역을 채움으로써 깊이 영상 정제 과정을 수행한다. 두 번째, 연속된 두 시점에서의 3D 점군을 동일한 영상 평면으로 투영하고, 수정된 KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) 특징 추적기를 사용하여 대응점을 찾는다. 그리고 대응점 간의 거리 오차를 최소화함으로써 정밀한 정합을 수행한다. 마지막으로, 여러 시점에서 획득된 3D 점군과 한 쌍의 2D 영상을 동시에 이용하여 3D 점들의 위치를 세밀하게 조절함으로써 최종적인 3D 모델을 생성한다. 제안된 방법은 대응점을 2D 영상 평면에서 찾음으로써 계산의 복잡도를 줄였으며, 3D 데이터의 정밀도가 낮은 경우에도 효과적으로 동작한다. 또한, 다시점 카메라를 이용함으로써 수 시점에서의 깊이 영상과 컬러 영상만으로도 실내환경 3D 복원이 가능하다. 제안된 방법은 네비게이션 뿐만 아니라 상호작용을 위한 3D 모델 생성에 활용될 수 있다.

Recently, the localization recognition system research has been studied using various sensors according to increased interest in autonomous navigation flight. In case of indoor environment which cannot support GPS information, we have to look for another way to recognize current position. The Image-based localization recognition system has been interested although there are lots of way to know current pose. In this paper, we explain the localization recognition system based on mark and implementation of autonomous navigation flight. In order to apply to real environment which cannot support marks, localization based on real-time 3D map building is discussed.

In Korea, u-City has been constructed as IT-based new city with introduction of the ubiquitous concept. However, most currently provided u-services are just monitoring services based on the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology, so spatial analysis is insufficient. Especially, buildings have been rapidly constructed and expanded in multi-levels, and people spend a lot of time in indoor space, so indoor spatial analysis is necessary. Therefore, connectivity relationship in indoor space is analyzed using the topological data model. Topological relationships could be redefined due to the dynamic changes of environment in indoor space, and changes could have an effect on analysis results. In this paper, the algorithms of finding isolated zones is developed by analyzing connectivity relationship between space objects in built-environments after changes of environment in indoor space due to specific situation such as fire. And the system that visualizes isolated zones as well as three-dimensional data structure of indoor space is developed to get the analysis result by using the analysis algorithms.
