A lane detection based on a road model or feature all needs correct acquirement of information on the lane in an image. It is inefficient to implement a lane detection algorithm through the full range of an image when it is applied to a real road in real time because of the calculating time. This paper defines two (other proper terms including"modes") for detecting lanes on a road. First is searching mode that is searching the lane without any prior information of a road. Second is recognition mode, which is able to reduce the size and change the position of a searching range by predicting the position of a lane through the acquired information in a previous frame. It allows to extract accurately and efficiently the edge candidate points of a lane without any unnecessary searching. By means of inverse perspective transform which removes the perspective effect on the edge candidate points, we transform the edge candidate information in the Image Coordinate System(ICS) into the plan-view image in the World Coordinate System(WCS). We define a linear approximation filter and remove faulty edge candidate points by using it. This paper aims at approximating more correctly the lane of an actual road by applying the least-mean square method with the fault-removed edge information for curve fitting.e fitting.

In this paper, it was performed the analysis on various intersection acoustic patterns for detection rate improvement of accident sound detection system : an acoustic pattern analysis on general traffic noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on engine noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on obstruct factors for accident sound detection system. There are remarkable differences between the acoustic patterns of traffic noise and accident sound, and we most consider the acoustic patterns when we compose the accident traffic detection system by acoustic because there is error range of 20[dB] according to the volume of traffic in intersection.

ISO/IEC/WD 24753 defines new modem specifications for a long-range RFID communications and application protocol for a sensor tag system. According to the standard, the frequency offset of the tag is 4%. In general wireless communications systems, it is known that a coherent receiver is superior to a non-coherent receiver. However, if the frequency offset is large, it is difficult to restore the original data accurately with a coherent receiver, and the performance of a coherent receiver is easily degraded. In this paper, a non-coherent receiver structure is adopted to solve the frequency offset problem of long-range RFID communications. We designed a frequency estimation block to find an optimal frequency from the received signal with 4% frequency offset and proposed a start frame delimiter (SFD) detection algorithm to determine the start position of the payload. The frequency estimation block finds the optimal frequency from the received signal using 9-correlators. And the SFD detection block searches the received signal to find the start position of the payload with dual correlator. We implemented a long-range RFID reader with the proposed methods and evaluated its performance in a wired/wireless test network. The implemented long-range RFID reader showed more superior performance than the commercial RFID reader in terms of recognition range.

Not merely running at the designated constant speed as the classical cruise control, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) maintains safe headway distance when the front is blocked by other vehicles. One of the most essential part of ACC System is the range sensor which can measure the position and speed of all objects in front continuously, ignore all irrelevant objects, distinguish vehicles in different lanes and lock on to the closest vehicle in the same lane. In this paper, the hierarchical object recognition algorithm (HORA) is proposed to process raw scanning laser data and acquire valid distance to target vehicle. HORA contains two principal concepts. First, the concept of life quantifies the reliability of range data to filter off the spurious detection and preserve the missing target position. Second, the concept of conformation checks the mobility of each obstacle and tracks the position shift. To estimate and predict the vehicle position Kalman filter is used. Repeatedly updated covariance matrix determines the bound of valid data. The algorithm is emulated on computer and tested on-line with our ACC vehicle.

Patients with disabilities from various reasons such as disasters, injuries or chronic illness or elderly with limited body motion range due to aging are recommended to participate in rehabilitation programs at hospitals. But typically, it's not as simple for them to commute without help as they have limited access outside of the home. Also, regarding the perspectives of hospitals, having to maintain the workforce and have them take care of the rehabilitation sessions leads them to more expenses in cost aspects. For those reasons, in this paper, a home-based remote rehabilitation system using motion recognition is developed without needing help from others. This system can be executed by a personal computer and a stereo camera at home, the real-time user motion status is monitored using motion recognition feature. The system tracks the joint range of motion(Joint ROM) of particular body parts of users to check the body function improvement. For demonstration, total of 4 subjects with various ages and health conditions participated in this project. Their motion data were collected during all 3 exercise sessions, and each session was repeated 9 times per person and was compared in the results.

To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the residues of the acaricide fenazaquin, five haptens were synthesized and assessed. A competitive indirect format was used with polyclonal antibodies. Under an optimized condition using the selected rabbit C antiserum, an $IC_{50}$ of $96.97\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$, the detection range of $14.9{\sim}631\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$, and the lowest detection limit of $8\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were obtained. Some structurally related compounds of practical use showed low crossreactivities to the antibody. Highest cross-reactivity observed with hapten IV indicates that the antiserum C recognizes very well quinazoline ring, 4-tert-butylphenyl, and an adequate length of spacer arm. The length of spacer arm affected recognition of quinazoline ring and 4-tert-butylphenyl moieties. When applied to apple and pear, recoveries were within acceptable ranges of $93.18{\sim}104.77%$ (n = 4) and $79.40{\sim}111.95%$ (n = 4), respectively.

This paper presents a hardware-implemented face regions stabilization algorithm that stabilizes facial regions using the locations and sizes of human faces found by a face detection system. Face detection algorithms extract facial features or patterns determining the presence of a face from a video source and detect faces via a classifier trained on example faces. But face detection results has big variations in the detected locations and sizes of faces by slight shaking. To address this problem, the high frequency reduce filter that reduces variations in the detected face regions by taking into account the face range information between the current and previous video frames are implemented in addition to center distance comparison and zooming operations.

The accurate and rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) holds significant clinical importance. This work presents a new method for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in clinical samples. The method uses an aptamer-based colorimetric assay that combines a recognizing probe to identify the target and split DNAzyme to amplify the signal, resulting in a highly sensitive and direct analysis of methicillin-resistance. The identification of the PBP2a protein on the membrane of S. aureus in clinical samples leads to the allosterism of the recognizing probe, and thus provides a template for the proximity ligation of split DNAzyme. The proximity ligation of split DNAzyme forms an intact DNAzyme to identify the loop section in the L probe and generates a nicking site to release the loop sequence ("3" and "4" fragments). The "3" and "4" fragments forms an intact sequence to induce the catalytic hairpin assembly, exposing the G-rich section. The released the G-rich sequence of LR probe induces the formation of G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzyme as a colorimetric signal readout. The absorption intensity demonstrated a strong linear association with the logarithm of the S. aureus concentration across a wide range of 5 orders of magnitude dynamic range under the optimized experimental parameters. The limit of detection was calculated to be 23 CFU/ml and the method showed high selectivity for MRSA.

Photoinduced electron transport process in nature such as photoelectric conversion and long-range electron transfer in photosynthetic organisms are known to occur not only very efficiently but also unidirectionally through the functional groups of biomolecules. The basic principles in the development of new functional devices can be inspired from the biological systems such as molecular recognition, electron transfer chain, or photosynthetic reaction center. By mimicking the organization of the biological system, molecular electronic devices can be realized $artificially^{1)}$. The nano-fabrication technology of biomolecules was applied to the development of nano-protein chip for simultaneously analyzing many kinds of proteins as a rapid tool for proteome research. The results showed that the self-assembled protein layer had an influence on the sensitivity of the fabricated bio-surface to the target molecules, which would give us a way to fabricate the nano-protein chip with high sensitivity. The results implicate that the biosurface fabrication using self-assembled protein molecules could be successfully applied to the construction of nanoscale bio-photodiode and nano-protein chip based on electrical detection.
