흙댐에서의 누수 구역을 판별하기 위해 다채널 연속 온도 모니터링을 수행하고 이를 검증하기 위해 전기비저항 물리탐사를 함께 수행하였다. 일반적으로 댐이나 사면과 같은 인공구조물의 내부는 시간과 위치에 따라 상이한 온도 분포를 갖는 것으로 여겨진다. 이와 같은 분포는 구조물의 안전성을 판단하는 데 매우 중요한 기본 자료로 이용될 수 있으며, 특히 댐 구조물의 경우 과도 침투수나 누수에 의한 위험 대역을 파악할 수 있는 기술로 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 온도 측정 방식은 대형 구조물의 온도를 연속적으로 동시에 측정할 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 극복한 새로운 온도 모니터링 장비를 이용하여 댐의 상부 및 하부에 걸쳐, 여러 지점에서 동시에 온도 분포를 측정하였으며, 실내 시험을 통해 누수 대역이 온도 분포의 이상을 충분히 반영하고 있음을 관측하였다. 또한 대상 댐의 전 구역에 걸쳐 전기비저항 조사를 수행한 결과와 온도 모니터링 자료를 비교 분석하여 누수구역의 판별력을 높일 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

Pig farming, a vital industry, necessitates proactive measures for early disease detection and crush symptom monitoring to ensure optimum pig health and safety. This review explores advanced thermal sensing technologies and computer vision-based thermal imaging techniques employed for pig disease and piglet crush symptom monitoring on pig farms. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive and efficient technology for measuring pig body temperature, providing advantages such as non-destructive, long-distance, and high-sensitivity measurements. Unlike traditional methods, IRT offers a quick and labor-saving approach to acquiring physiological data impacted by environmental temperature, crucial for understanding pig body physiology and metabolism. IRT aids in early disease detection, respiratory health monitoring, and evaluating vaccination effectiveness. Challenges include body surface emissivity variations affecting measurement accuracy. Thermal imaging and deep learning algorithms are used for pig behavior recognition, with the dorsal plane effective for stress detection. Remote health monitoring through thermal imaging, deep learning, and wearable devices facilitates non-invasive assessment of pig health, minimizing medication use. Integration of advanced sensors, thermal imaging, and deep learning shows potential for disease detection and improvement in pig farming, but challenges and ethical considerations must be addressed for successful implementation. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art technologies used in the pig farming industry, including computer vision algorithms such as object detection, image segmentation, and deep learning techniques. It also discusses the benefits and limitations of IRT technology, providing an overview of the current research field. This study provides valuable insights for researchers and farmers regarding IRT application in pig production, highlighting notable approaches and the latest research findings in this field.

체온은 가축의 건강상태와 직접적으로 연관되어있어서 건강에 문제가 발생하였을 때 체온이 즉각 변화한다. 따라서 정확한 체온 측정은 스마트 축사 관리에서 중요하다. 하지만 현재 가축의 체온을 측정하기 위해서 주로 사용되는 표피 부착형 센서의 경우 외기 및 센서의 부착상태에 따라 측정되는 체온 값이 크게 변화하고, 측정되는 체온이 가축의 실제 심부체온과 다른 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 목 부착형 센서를 이용하여 소의 심부체온을 예측하는 방안을 개발하였다. 특히 심부체온을 정확하게 예측하는 회귀방안과 특정온도 이상으로 체온이 올라가는 것을 감지하는 분류방안을 다양한 기계학습방안을 이용하여 개발하였다. 이를 통해 높은 정확도로 소의 심부체온 이상여부를 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안 방안을 통해서 소의 건강상태를 정확하게 파악하고 축사관리의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

저수지 안전진단을 위하여 수행되는 전기비저항 모니터링 자료는 대기의 온도에 영향을 받는다. 특히 국내와 같이 사계절의 온도 변화가 큰 환경에서는 지중온도 변화에 의한 전기비저항의 변화를 무시하기 어렵다. 따라서 온도효과는 전기비저항 모니터링 자료의 정밀한 해석을 어렵게 한다. 이 연구에서는 저수지에서 획득된 다점온도 모니터링 자료를 분석하여 시공간적 지중온도를 추정하고, 이를 이용하여 역산 결과 얻어진 지하 전기비저항 모델에 대하여 온도보정을 수행하였다. 온도보정 결과, 계절변화에 의한 온도 효과는 주로 상부에 국한되며, 심부에서는 무시할 수 있는 것으로 해석되었다. 그러나 댐 제체의 온도 분포만을 가지고 온도 보정을 수행하면 그 효과를 완전히 제거할 수 없다. 이 문제를 극복하기 위해, 저수지 물의 온도 변화에 의한 효과는 대기온도 변화도 함께 포함되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

The temperature of a pig is the most key point in determining, it's health status. We wanted to monitor the body temperature of pig to find out if any changes would occur, we used 3 minipigs (about 20 kg) who were feed using a feeding system while being confined in a pig house. The infrared testings were taken from a height of 30 cm above the pigs backs over a period of 28 days. We were able to conclude that the results between the back and indoor temperature were y = 0.5487x + 18.459. These values were compared with the values found after infrared sensor results were taken. We found an error range of $0.004{\sim}1.82^{\circ}C$ and an average of $0.58^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, using an infrared thermometer made monitoring of pigs back possible. This system seems to be feasible and effective in monitoring pig temperature.

Recently, domestic animal disease caused tremendous damage to farmhouses and the damage stretched in nationwide with the spread of epidemic disease. To prevent animal diseases from happening again, the system development to easily measure the temperature of sick animals and identify of them is needed, thereby quickly treat them, reducing losses of farmhouses. However, a lack of related equipment and human resource hampered its effort to minimize its losses. This study tries to develop diagnosis system as part of measures to curb these domestic animal diseases. This paper present the 센서 node based on IEEE 802.15.4 which can be attached to the animal body for real-time temperature measurement. We design and implement tiny chip-type that can be attached to the body of animals. Then, we use available power only when measuring temperatures in a long term-basis. In this paper, the 센서 node was applied to horse's neck. We measure the horse's body temperature between $32.2^{\circ}C{\sim}33.7^{\circ}C$ and analyze phenomenon data for 4 months.

Recently, there have been many research on fever management using u-healthcare technology. Especially, fever of infants requires continuous monitoring of body temperature by parents. For infants between 4 weeks and under 5 years old, it is recommended to use an electronic thermometer or chemical thermometer in the axilla, or to use an infrared thermometer. However, in order to overcome the reality of not being able to waste significant time on continuous monitoring, there have been demands of patch type thermometers with the internet of things (IoT) and wireless communication technologies. Existing IoT thermometers are difficult to attach to infants' body because they do not take into account its size, and their interoperability is not guaranteed because they do not comply with standards in communication. Therefore, in this study, a patch-type thermometer with a diameter of 20 mm and a weight of 2.9 g was developed to manage the fever of infants, while it communicates wirelessly with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocol and complies with IEEE 11073 PHD(Personal Health Device) at the same time. We verified its performance under the requirements of thermometers regulated by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Recently, there has been significant interest in structural health monitoring for civil engineering applications. In this research, a specially designed tendon, proposed by embedding FBG sensors into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied for long-term health monitoring of tensile forces on a ground anchor. To make temperature independent sensors, the effective temperature compensation of FBG sensors must be considered. The temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ of the FBG sensors embedded tendon was successfully determined to be $2.0{\times}10^{-5}^{\circ}C^{-1}$ through calibrated tests in both a model rock body and a laboratory heat chamber. Furthermore, the obtained result for ${\beta}^{\prime}$ was formally verified through the ground temperature measurement test, expectedly. As a result, the ground temperature measured by a thermometer showed good agreement compared to that measured by the proposed FBG sensor, which was calibrated considering to the temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$. Finally, four prototype ground anchors including two tension ground anchors and two compression ground anchors made by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon were installed into an actual slope at the Yeosu site. Tensile forces, after temperature compensation was taken into account using the verified temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ground temperature obtained from the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) have been monitored for over one year, and the results were very consistent to those measured from the load cell, interestingly.

무선센서네트워크는 처리능력과 자원이 제한된 수많은 소형의 센서노드들로 구성된다. 따라서 무선센서네트워크에 있어서 가장 중요하고 기본적인 요소는 환경 정보를 수집하고 이를 사용자 응용시스템에 전송하는 센서노드 기술이다. 기술의 발전에 따라 센서노드는 점점 소형화 되고 지능화 되어 그 응용범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 특히 이식형 센서노드 기술은 인체나 가축의 체내에 이식되어 질병을 감시하고 치료하는데 사용됨으로써 무선센서네트워크의 미래 발전 방향을 제시한다. 본고에서는 가축의 체온을 실시간으로 감시할 수 있는 이식형 무선 센서노드를 설계하였다. 또한, 실시간 생체 감시 시스템 구현을 위한 추가적인 고려사항에 대하여 논하였다.
