ZnO nanorods were prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of a solution containing $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, NaOH, cyclohexylamine, ethanol and water, and their $NO_2$ and CO sensing behaviors were investigated. By the control of water concentration in solution, the morphology and agglomeration of ZnO nanorods could be manipulated, which is associated with the variation of $[OH^-]$ resulted from an interaction between water and cyclohexylamine. Sea-urchin-like and well-dispersed ZnO nanorods were prepared at low and high water content, respectively. Well-dispersed ZnO nanorods showed 1.8 fold change in resistance at 1 ppm $NO_2$ while there was no significant change in resistance at 50 ppm CO. This selective detection of $NO_2$ in the presence of CO can be used in automated car ventilation systems.

CAN bus in automotive applications does not assign node addresses. When a node is hacked and it transmits malicious data frame, it is difficult to resolve which node is hacked. However, this CAN bus internal attack seriously threatens the safety of a car, so a prompt counterattack is necessary in the CAN bus physical layer. This paper proposes a counterattack method against malicious CAN bus internal attack. When a malicious data frame is detected, an intrusion detection system in the CAN bus increases the error counter of the malicious node. Then, the malicious node is off from the bus when its error counter exceeds its limit. A CAN controller with the proposed method is implemented in Verilog HDL, and the proposed method is proved to counterattack against malicious CAN bus internal attack.

Compared with traditional video monitoring systems that provide a video-recording function as a main service, an intelligent video monitoring system is capable of extracting/tracking objects and detecting events such as car accidents, traffic congestion, pedestrian detection, and so on. Thus, the object tracking is an essential function for various intelligent video monitoring and surveillance systems. In this paper, we propose a background and local histogram-based object tracking approach for intelligent video monitoring systems. For robust object tracking in a live situation, the result of optical flow and local histogram verification are combined with the result of background subtraction. In the proposed approach, local histogram verification allows the system to track target objects more reliably when the local histogram of LK position is not similar to the previous histogram. Experimental results are provided to show the proposed tracking algorithm is robust in object occlusion and scale change situation.

Building information is primary source in many applications such as mapping, telecommunication, car navigation and virtual city modeling. While aerial CCD images which are captured by passive sensor(digital camera) provide horizontal positioning in high accuracy, it is far difficult to process them in automatic fashion due to their inherent properties such as perspective projection and occlusion. On the other hand, LIDAR system offers 3D information about each surface rapidly and accurately in the form of irregularly distributed point clouds. Contrary to the optical images, it is much difficult to obtain semantic information such as building boundary and object segmentation. Photogrammetry and LIDAR have their own major advantages and drawbacks for reconstructing earth surfaces. The purpose of this investigation is to automatically obtain spatial information of 3D buildings by fusing LIDAR data with aerial CCD image. The experimental results show that most of the complex buildings are efficiently extracted by the proposed method and signalize that fusing LIDAR data and aerial CCD image improves feasibility of the automatic detection and extraction of buildings in automatic fashion.

This paper presents the Doppler Scanning technique which enables us to detect the relative positions of moving distributed sources using Doppler frequency shift estimate when the moving source consists of distributed sources with different signature frequencies. Doppler frequency shifts of characteristic frequencies of machinery noise sources such as ship's generator and propeller, with tine along CPA (Closest Point of Approach of moving source) are unique, and can be functioned with respect to each source position. Therefore, this technique can be applied to estimate the relative geometrical positions between machinery noise sources. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which has a high frequency resolution with high time resolution, is adopted for improving accuracy of Doppler frequency shift estimate geometric resolution of machinery positions since machinery noise sources show in general low frequency band characteristics with limited spacial distance. The performance of the technique is examined by the numerical simulations and is verified by the experiment using loudspeaker sources on the roof of the car.

With the development of the intelligent Internet of Things AIoT that goes beyond the IoT of the Internet of Things, the industry is changing overall. In addition, with the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, revolutionary changes and developments are also taking place in the automobile industry. A representative example is "autonomous driving vehicle". Because the domestic and foreign interests in autonomous vehicles have increased, many developments have been made, and although limited, they have developed into the commercialization stage. However, the structure of the autonomous vehicle that collects, analyzes, and controls data using various sensors installed in the vehicle, not the driver, is often insufficiently exposed to hacking due to the lack of multiplexed devices for security. In this case, as this can be a threat not only to the driver, but also to the surrounding environment, this paper proposes a new data processing function to improve the system security of autonomous vehicles.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to improve the performance of the improved minima controlled recursive averaging (IMCRA). From an examination for various noise environment, it is shown that the IMCRA has a fundamental drawback for the noise power estimate at the offset region of continuity speech signals. Espectially, it is difficult to obtain the robust estimates of the noise power in non-stationary noisy environments that is rapidly changed the spectral characteristics such as babble noise. To overcome the drawback, we apply the global speech absence probability (GSAP) conditioned on both a priori SNR and a posteriori SNR to the speech detection algorithm of IMCRA. With the performance criteria of the ITU-T P.862 perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) and a composite measure test, we show that the proposed algorithm yields better results compared to the conventional IMCRA-based scheme under various noise environments. In particular, in the case of babble 5 dB, the proposed method produced a remarkable improvement compared to the IMCRA ( PESQ = 0.026, composite measure = 0.029 ).

This paper introduces the implementation of a driver's condition warning system using eye aspect ratio to prevent a car accident. The proposed driver's condition warning system using eye aspect ratio consists of a camera, that is required to detect eyes, the Raspberrypie that processes information on eyes from the camera, buzzer and vibrator, that are required to warn the driver. In order to detect and recognize driver's eyes, the histogram of oriented gradients and face landmark estimation based on deep-learning are used. Initially the system calculates the eye aspect ratio of the driver from 6 coordinates around the eye and then gets each eye aspect ratio values when the eyes are opened and closed. These two different eye aspect ratio values are used to calculate the threshold value that is necessary to determine the eye state. Because the threshold value is adaptively determined according to the driver's eye aspect ratio, the system can use the optimal threshold value to determine the driver's condition. In addition, the system synthesizes an input image from the gray-scaled and LAB model images to operate in low lighting conditions.

A thermal imaging sensor receives the radiating energy from the target and the background, so it has been widely used for detection, tracking, and classification of targets at night for military purpose. In recognizing the target automatically using thermal images, if the correct edges of object are used then it can generate the classification results with high accuracy. However since the thermal images have lower spatial resolution and more blurred edges than color images, the accuracy of the classification using thermal images can be decreased. In this paper, to overcome this problem, a new hierarchical classifier using both shape and local features based on the segmentation reliabilities, and the class/pose updating method for vehicle classification are proposed. The proposed classification method was validated using thermal video sequences of more than 20,000 images which include four types of military vehicles - main battle tank, armored personnel carrier, military truck, and estate car. The experiment results showed that the proposed method outperformed the state-of-the-arts methods in classification accuracy.
