Ubiquitous computing is a novel paradigm that is rapidly gaining in the scenario of wireless communications and telecommunications for realizing smart world. As rapid development of sensor technology, smart sensor system becomes more popular in automobile or vehicle. In this study, a new vehicle detection mechanism in real-time for blind spot area is proposed based on imaging sensors. To determine the position of other vehicles on the road is important for operation of driver assistance systems (DASs) to increase driving safety. As the result, blind spot detection of vehicles is addressed using an automobile detection algorithm for blind spots. The proposed vehicle verification utilizes the height and angle of a rear-looking vehicle mounted camera. Candidate vehicle information is extracted using adaptive shadow detection based on brightness values of an image of a vehicle area. The vehicle is verified using a training set with Haar-like features of candidate vehicles. Using these processes, moving vehicles can be detected in blind spots. The detection ratio of true vehicles was 91.1% in blind spots based on various experimental results.

The blind spot is an area where drivers visibility does not reach. When drivers change a lane to adjacent lane, they need to give an attention because of the blind spot. If drivers try to change lane without notice of vehicle approaching in the blind spot, it causes a reason to have a car accident. This paper proposes a night-time blind spot vehicle detection using cameras. At nighttime, head-lights are used as characteristics to detect vehicles. Candidates of headlight are selected by high luminance feature and then shape filter and kalman filter are employed to remove other noisy blobs having similar luminance to head-lights. In addition, vehicle position is estimated from detected head-light, using virtual center line represented by approximated the first order linear equation. Experiments show that proposed method has relatively high detection porformance in clear weather independent to the road types, but has not sufficient performance in rainy weather because of various ground reflectors.

본 논문에서는 주행 중 사각지역내의 차량을 빠르고 정확하게 실시간으로 검출하는 측후방 차량 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 실시간 처리를 위해 MCT(Modified Census Transformation) 특징벡터를 기반으로 에이다부스트 학습을 통해 생성되는 캐스케이드 분류기를 사용한다. MCT 분류기는 검출윈도우가 작을수록 처리속도가 빠르고, 검출윈도우가 클수록 정확도가 증가한다. 제안 알고리즘은 이러한 특징을 이용하여 검출윈도우가 작은 분류기로 차량후보를 빠르게 생성한 후 보다 큰 사이즈의 검출윈도우를 가지는 분류기로 생성된 차량후보에 대해 정확하게 차량인지 검증한다. 또한, 차량분류기와 바퀴분류기를 동시에 사용하여 사각지역내로 진입하는 차량과 사각지역내의 인접차량을 효과적으로 검출한다.

The latest vehicle yields a superior safety and reduction of driving burden by monitoring the driving state of vehicle and its environment with various sensors. To detect other vehicles and objects of the rear left and right-side blind spot area of driver, provide the information about a existence of objects inside the blind spot, and give a signal to avoid collision, this study proposes the intelligent outside rear-view mirror system. This task has substantially complicated several factors. For example, the size, geometry and features of the various vehicles which might enter the monitored zone is varied widely and therefore present various reflective characteristics. This study proposes the optimal specification and configuration of optical system and IR array sensor of blind spot detection system, and shows the results of the performance evaluation of developed system.

최근 차량 충돌 방지를 위한 다양한 기술이 상용화되고 있다. FMCW 기반의 레이더 시스템은 구현의 용이성으로 많은 상용차에서 전면 충돌 방지 시스템에 적용되고 있다. 측면 충돌 방지를 위한 BSD(Blind Spot Detection)와 차선변경 보조 시스템(LCA, Lane Change Assistant system)에서는 전방 레이더보다 인식거리가 줄어들고 갱신율이 낮아지므로 고속 FFT 등을 수행하는 신호처리부를 저가격으로 설계가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 TI사의 MCU인 F28335를 사용하여 근거리를 인식하는 신호처리부를 설계하였다. 이 MCU는 16채널 12bit ADC와 68KB RAM 및 512KB 플래시 메모리를 내장하고, 150MHz 부동소수점 연산을 지원하여 단일 칩으로 신호처리부의 구현이 가능하다. 구현된 시스템은 20m내외의 거리에 있는 장애물에 대하여 10Hz로 갱신이 가능하여 BSD를 위한 기본 기능이 확인되었다. 이러한 구현은 이전의 고가의 DSP나 FPGA를 사용하지 않고 15$이내의 단일 MCU와 간단한 아날로그 회로로 설계되어 저가격의 시스템으로 상용화가 가능할 것이다.

Recently, in order to reduce traffic accident related fatalities, increasing number of studies are conducted regarding the vehicle safety enhancement devices. But very few studies about test procedures and requirements for vehicle safety systems are being carried out. Since BSD, as one of the most important safety features, is installed on a new vehicle, its performance test method has to be evaluated. Independent factors irrelevant to the device types including collision position, vehicle speed and closing speed are used to calculate test distance away from the current vehicle. Effect of roadway geometry as radius of curvature is introduced to propose possible misjudgement of following vehicle as adjacent one. The study results would be utilized to enhance the test procedure of BSD performance.

In this paper, we achieve implementation of a Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry(TFDR) system through comparatively low performance(100MS/s) PCI extensions for Instrumentation(PXI). The TFDR is the general methodology of Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) and Frequency Domain Reflectometry(FDR). This methodology is robust in Gaussian noises, because the fixed frequency bandwidth is used. Moreover, the methodology can get more information of the fault by using the normalized time-frequency cross correlation function. The Arbitrary Waveform Generator(AWG) module generates the input signal, and the digital oscilloscope module acquires the input and reflected signals, while PXI controller module performs the control of the total PXI modules and execution of the main algorithm. The maximum range of measurement and the blind spot are calculated according ta variations of time duration and frequency bandwidth. On the basis of above calculations, the algorithm and the design of input signals used in the TFDR system are verified by real experiments. The correlation function is added to the TDR methodology for reduction of the blind spot in the TFDR system.

This paper contributes to development of a new method for detecting rear-side vehicles and estimating the positions for blind spot region or providing the lane change information by using vision systems. Because the real image acquired during car driving has a lot of information including the target vehicle and background image as well as the noises such as lighting and shading, it is hard to extract only the target vehicle against the background image with satisfied robustness. In this paper, the target vehicle has been detected by repetitive image processing such as sobel and morphological operations and a Kalman filter has been also designed to cancel the background image and prevent the misreading of the target image. The proposed method can get faster image processing and more robustness rather than the previous researches. Various experiments were performed on the highway driving situations to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

건설 현장의 사고는 중증외상환자가 발생하기 쉬운 특성 탓에 사망으로 이어지는 비율이 매우 높다. 중증외상환자의 사망률을 줄이기 위해서는 빠른 대처가 필요하며, 빠른 사고 대처를 위해 인공지능 기술과 카메라를 이용하여 사고를 감지하는 시스템들이 개발되었다. 그러나 기존 사고 감지 시스템들은 단일 카메라만을 사용하여, 사각지대로 인해 건설 현장의 모든 사고를 감지하기에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다수의 카메라를 사용하여 감지 사각지대를 최소화하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 다수의 카메라의 영상에서 YOLO-pose 라이브러리로 특징점을 추출하고, 추출된 특징점을 장단기 메모리(Long Short Term Memory) 기반 순환신경망에 입력하여 사고를 감지하였다. 실험 결과, 우리는 제안하는 시스템이 복수의 카메라 사용으로 감지 사각지대를 최소화하면서도 높은 정확도를 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

Digital Twin is a technology that creates a photocopy of real-world objects on a computer and analyzes the past and present operational status by fusing the structure, context, and operation of various physical systems with property information, and predicts the future society's countermeasures. In particular, 3D rendering technology (UAS, LiDAR, GNSS, etc.) is a core technology in digital twin. so, the research and application are actively performed in the industry in recent years. However, UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) and LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) have to be solved by compensating blind spot which is not reconstructed according to the object shape. In addition, the terrestrial LiDAR can acquire the point cloud of the object more precisely and quickly at a short distance, but a blind spot is generated at the upper part of the object, thereby imposing restrictions on the forward digital twin modeling. The UAS is capable of modeling a specific range of objects with high accuracy by using high resolution images at low altitudes, and has the advantage of generating a high density point group based on SfM (Structure-from-Motion) image analysis technology. However, It is relatively far from the target LiDAR than the terrestrial LiDAR, and it takes time to analyze the image. In particular, it is necessary to reduce the accuracy of the side part and compensate the blind spot. By re-optimizing it after fusion with UAS and Terrestrial LiDAR, the residual error of each modeling method was compensated and the mutual correction result was obtained. The accuracy of fusion-based 3D model is less than 1cm and it is expected to be useful for digital twin construction.
