The objective of this study is to design a system that automatically monitors the state of interior spaces like offices where lots of people are coming and going through image data and environment data, which includes temperature, humidity, and other conditions, and implement and test related application programs. In practice, there are lots of image data automatically obtained by unmanned equipments, such as certain types of CCTVs, for monitoring situation in usual interior spaces. This image data can be used as a more effective manner by establishing a system that recognizes situation in specific interior spaces based on the relationship between image and environment data. For instance, it is possible to perform unmanned on/off controls for various electronic equipments, such as air conditioners, lights, and other devices, through analyzing the data acquisited from environment sensors (temperature, humidity, and illumination) as dynamic states are not maintained for a specified period of time. For implementing these controls, this study analyzes environment data acquisited from temperature and humidity sensors and image data input from wireless cameras to recognize situation and that can be used to automatically control environment variables configured by users. Experiments were applied in a laboratory where unmanned controls were effectively performed as automatic on/off controls for the air conditioner and lights installed in the laboratory as certain motions were detected or undetected for a specified period of time.

Rock bolts and shotcrete play a crucial role as a main support system in the underground space. Thus, the safety of the underground space may be affected by the defect of rock bolts. In order to evaluate the rock bolt integrity by using non-destructive technique, the transmission method of the guided ultrasonic waves, which are generated by using the piezo disk elements has been successfully performed. The energy generated by the piezo disk elements, however, is not enough for the rock bolts in the field. In addition, the piezo disk elements should be installed at the end of the steel bar during construction of the rock bolts. The purpose of this study is the devolvement of the reflection method, which may generate enough energy, and the application in the field rock bolts. Both laboratory and field tests are carried out. The guided ultrasonic waves with high energy are generated by the hammer impact with the center punch, and the AE sensor is used to measure the reflected guided waves. The received guided waves are analyzed by the wavelet transform. The peak value of the wavelet transform produces the energy velocity, which is used for the evaluation of the rock bolt integrity. The energy velocity increases with an increase in the defect ratio in both laboratory and field rock bolts. This study demonstrates that the hammer-impact reflection method may be a suitable method for the evaluation of the rock bolt in the field.

It is important to have a pipeline leak-detection system that determines the presence of a leak and quickly identifies its location. Current leak detection methods use a acoustic emission sensors, microphone arrays, and camera images. Recently, many researchers have been focusing on using cameras for detecting leaks. The advantage of this method is that it can survey a wide area and monitor a pipeline over a long distance. However, conventional methods using camera monitoring are unable to target an exact leak location. In this paper, we propose a method of detecting leak locations using leak-detection results combined with multi-frame analysis. The proposed method is verified by experiment.

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

A food waste disposer commonly used in restaurants or homes is a type of machine with an agitator attached. The food waste disposer of the crushing type has a problem that the agitator may be broken if the piping or decomposition filter is blocked. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the user must manually open the cover to check the level in the food waste disposer. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines basic IoT technology with food waste disposer. The proposed device additionally designs and implement a real-time monitor processor and an automatic control processor inside the existing food waste disposer. The proposed food waste disposer allows the user to monitor the inside of the device using the smartphone. In addition, when the food is filled up to a certain position in the food waste disposer, it automatically stops and alarms. Using the proposed system, the user can conveniently check the inside of the food waste disposer, which has the advantage of preventing malfunctions in advance and reducing the probability of malfunction.

토양수분은 전 지구 및 기후 모델 연구, 전 지구 환경 감시, 기후변화, 대기-지표의 물과 에너지 상호교환 등 중요한 역할을 한다. 최근에는 수동형 마이크로웨이브 센서를 이용하여 토양수분을 탐지하고 있으며, NASA는 공식적인 전구 토양수분을 제공하고 있다. 특히, AMSR-E(Advandced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on EOS)의 6 GHz 영역에서 산출된 토양수분은 지표 토양층(0～5 cm)의 높으 정확도의 토양 수분 정보를 제공하고 있다. 지금까지의 위성관측을 이용한 토양 수분 알고리즘은 복잡한 선행모델과 관측된 경험식을 바탕으로 한다. 이 연구의 제안한 알고리즘은 위성에서 관측된 휘도온도 정보를 이용하여 역변환 방법을 이용하여 토양수분을 산출할 수 있기에, 복잡한 선행모델 사용을 최소화하는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 제시한 토양수분 산출 알고리즘은 각 채널(6.9 및 37 GHz)의 특성을 이용하여 거친 표면의 반사도를 산출한 후, 편광비율 특성을 이용한다. 아울러 반사도는 Hong 근사식을 이용하여 지표면 거칠기, 물질의 특성을 나타내는 유전상수를 산출하고 두 변수 사이의 관측된 경험적 관계식를 이용하여 전 지구적인 토양수분이 산출한다. 이 결과는 NASA에서 산출한 토양 수분과 현장관측 (SMEX03)의 오클라호마, 조지아 지역 관측 결과와 비교하였을 때, 사용자들이 요구하는 수준 (<0.06g/$cm^3$)의 정확도를 만족시킨다. 본 연구에서 제시된 토양수분 알고리즘은 단순성, 정확성, 물리적 기반을 바탕으로 하기에 현업용으로 그 활용 가치가 높다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 국외 토양수분산출 전용 위성들인 SMOS(Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity)와 SMAP(Soil Moisture Active/Passive) 자료들을 생산하는데 활용된다면, 전 지구적 토양수분 정보제공에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예산된다.

This paper proposes a fingerprint verification system on a fuzzy vault with steganography for a smartphone. While biometric-based authentication can provide strong security, the biometric data must be handled carefully as it cannot be re-enrolled when it is revealed to other people. When the transformed data is used for authentication, the original biometric data can be protected. In this paper, we combine a fingerprint verification system with a fuzzy vault scheme to protect the fingerprint data of a smartphone user. In addition, the transformed data using a fuzzy vault scheme increases the security as it is concealed by the steganography scheme. The result of the experiment using fingerprint databases shows that the proposed scheme provides a high level of convenience and security for authentication of a smartphone having with a fingerprint sensor.

This paper presents the assessment of 7-wire strand monitoring using acoustic emission technique for bridges. 7-wire strand is widely used construction materials to provide additional tensile force to bridges. PSC (PreStressed Concrete) bridge and cable-stayed bridge are representatives for such cases. However, as the bridge aging progresses recently, corrosion problems of strand are emerging. For this reason, various NDT (Non-Destructive Test) methods for cable inspection are being studied and applied to the field. One of the NDT methods, acoustic emission technique, is known as an effective technique to detect cable damage and breakage. In this study, to evaluate the applicability of acoustic emission technique to bridges, acoustic emission signals according to damage of the strand were acquired and analyzed by tensile test. Moreover, The optimal AE sensor type was selected for field application. As a result, it is considered that the acoustic emission technique will be able to detect corrosion breakage and signs of rupture.

The implementation of HACCP(Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) which is a systematic preventive approach to food safety is increasing in school feed or food manufacture. Thus, there are several automatic systems to assist HACCP management, however the most of existing systems are one of computer programs or correcting sensor data programs as ancillary means. Therefore, to be applied to efficiently automate HACCP system, the HACCP supporting computer system should be easy usability of the personnel involved in the HACCP operations and must be able to manage in real time the various HACCP data. In this paper, we develop a web-based HACCP automatic system operating freely available from any Internet computing environments. This system can be used as the management system of all the processes of HACCP and make possible to manage a broad range of operating information through the web server. So, the results from operation of the proposed automatic HACCP system can be consistently systematic.
