Advanced Driver Assistance Systems(ADAS), such as Front Collision Warning System (FCWS) are currently being developed. FCWS require high processing speed because it must operate in real time while driving. In addition, a low-power system is required to operate in an automobile embedded system. In this paper, FCWS is implemented in CPU-FPGA architecture in embedded system to enable real-time processing. The lane detection enabled the use of the Inverse Transform Perspective (IPM) and sliding window methods to operate at fast speed. To detect the vehicle, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with high recognition rate and accelerated by parallel processing in FPGA is used. The proposed architecture was verified using Intel FPGA Cyclone V SoC(System on Chip) with ARM-Core A9 which operates in low power and on-board FPGA. The performance of FCWS in HD resolution is 44FPS, which is real time, and energy efficiency is about 3.33 times higher than that of high performance PC enviroment.

This study is to help creative idea generation based on the theory of the 'reconstruction of character shape image elements', and aims to extrusion of creative and diverse shapes with combination of image elements upon computing creative image generation. In order to suggest the design generation methodology for the maximization of idea generation ability and to overcome restriction of thinking out of existing idea generation methodology, it has suggested the CGS(Character Generation System) that is a creative idea generation methodology identified and complemented the problem of the existing computerized idea generation(PDS with Proportion) method out of the preceded studies on the creative idea generation methodologies. this study is expected to have effectives as one method for idea generation or creative image generation assistance during the 3D character development process, and to serve as an assistance to overcome the restriction of the character shape image generation through diverse idea generations.

In conventional ergonomics, consumer product can be made based on anthropometric data and specific design guideline. However, the product may not satisfy consumers because their emotional preference have not been properly considered in design phase. Therefore, in this study a new chair design process was introduced by which both consumer's emotional need and traditional ergonomic requirement can be satisfied. As a part of the process, the traditional Kansei engineering technique was modified to collect quantitative information of consumer's visual appreciation and physical feedback of various types of chairs. Furthermore, we developed an interface, so called, KADAS(Kamsung Analysis and Design Assistance System), for designers to use the technique in chair design. This software can help designers to understand what should be the most suitable shape in designing items such as seat, back and arm rest, etc. to meet the emotional need of consumers. This software displays the result of modified quantification theory I, and explains how to use the statistics. This study suggested a new approach for ergonomic design incorporated with Kansei Engineering technique. This technique can be also applied to other products by extending the database of KADAS.

Recently, many patients in a hospital are threatened life by fire disaster. Because many patients like vulnerable people have more evacuation problem than ordinary person. So a patient who can escape by oneself with walking assistance device like crutches or wheelchair and another patient who can't escape by oneself are should be supported safety technologies and service. Earlier research of 'hospital evacuation' led by actual experiments or computer evacuation simulation. Actual experiment is effective to gain credibility of result but it is difficult for patients to experiment repeatedly and it requires consideration for spatial problem and economic problems. Although computer evacuation simulation have been used to solve these problems, almost have concluded only results based on velocity without evacuation device. In this study, evacuation results with support device application or not are analysed used by computer evacuation simulation based on MAS(Multi Agent System). As a result, it is drawn through proof of efficiency of evacuation device in the vertical space like stairs that can improve the evacuation plan for vulnerable people in the hospital.

탑뷰 기반 주자 지원 시스템 (Top-View Based Parking Assistance System)은 차량의 전자장치 기술과 영상 기반 제어 기술을 융합하여 운전자들의 판단 및 조작 실수로 인한 경제적 손실이나 운전자들의 주차에 대한 중압감을 해소한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 구현하기 위하여 차량의 전, 후 좌, 우 네 위치에 카메라를 장착하였고 각 카메라의 높이 초점 거리, 렌즈의 종류와 지면에 대한 각 등을 공식화하여 영강-지면 좌표 모델을 개발하였다. 이를 바탕으로 추출된 영상을 확대, 축소, 회전, 조합 등의 영상처리를 이용하여 차량의 위에서 내려다보는 것과 같은 영상을 생성하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 VC++을 이용하여 소프트웨어 어플리케이션으로 개발하였다.

Exceeding the speed limit during vehicle driving is a key factor in the severity of lots of road accidents, and SLIF(Speed Limit Information Function) application is in the initial phase in Korea. SLIF helps the drivers to observe a speed limit when they are driving by providing alert and informing the current limit speed information based on external data using camera and/or digital map, for that reason, environmental conditions could be causes of SLIF malfunctions. In this study, design adequacy analysis of SLIF in respect of false recognition as the Korea traffic environment has been performed. As tentative results, road conditions and structure of speed limit sign as well as system performance often caused misrecognition.

The purpose of this study is to develop the algorithm which can control muscle power assist robot especially for elderly. Recently, wearable robots for power assistance are developed by many researchers, and its application fields are also variable such as for medical or military equipment. However, there are many technical barriers to develop the wearable robot. This study suggest a control method improving performance of a wearable robot system by using a EMG signal of major muscles and a force sensor signal as command signal of system. The result of the robot Prototype efficiency experiment, the case of Maximum Isometric motion it suggest 100% power of muscle, the man need only 66% of MVIC(Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction) to lift 5kg dumbbell without robot assist. However the man needs only 52% of MVIC to lift 5kg dumbbell with robot assist. Therefore 20% muscle power increased with robot assist. Also, we designed light weight robot mechanism that extract the command signal verified and drive the wanted motions.
