Stay-cable is one of the most important load carrying members in cable-stayed bridges. Monitoring structural integrity of stay-cables is crucial for evaluating the structural condition of the cable-stayed bridge. For stay-cables, tension and damping ratio are estimated based on modal properties as a measure of structural integrity. Since the monitoring system continuously measures the vibration for the long-term period, data acquisition systems should be stable and power-efficiency as the hardware system. In addition, massive signals from the data acquisition systems are continuously generated, so that automated analysis system should be indispensable. In order to fulfill these purpose simultaneously, this study presents an autonomous cable monitoring system based on domain-knowledge using IoT for continuous cable monitoring systems of cable-stayed bridges. An IoT system was developed to provide effective and power-efficient data acquisition and on-board processing capability for Edge-computing. Automated peak-picking algorithm using domain knowledge was embedded to the IoT system in order to analyze massive data from continuous monitoring automatically and reliably. To evaluate its operational performance in real fields, the developed autonomous monitoring system has been installed on a cable-stayed bridge in Korea. The operational performance are confirmed and validated by comparing with the existing system in terms of data transmission rates, accuracy and efficiency of tension estimation.

This paper presents an application of an impedance boundary condition to 3D vector finite element analysis of a multi-port cylidrical microwave cavity using Snell's law. Computing memory benefits and computing time reduction are obtained from this method compared with the conventional finite element method(FEM). To verify the method, a high permittivity scatterer in free space is analyzed and compared with the results of conventional (FEM). In addition, this method has been analyzed several types of cavities, including water load, to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the program.

This article proposes a pressure based method for predicting flows at all speeds. The compressible SIMPLE algorithm is extended to unstructured grid framework. Convection terms are discretized using second-order scheme with deferred correction approach. Diffusion term discretization is based on structured grid analogy that can be easily adopted to hybrid unstructured grid solver. This method also uses node centered scheme with edge based data structure for memory and computing time efficiency of arbitrary grid types. Both incompressible and compressible benchmark problems are solved using the above methodology. The demonstration of this method is extended to slip flow problem that has low Reynolds number but compressibility effect. It is shown that the proposed method can improve efficiency in memory usage and computing time without losing any accuracy.

As one of the most interesting scenes, landmarks constitute a large percentage of the vast amount of scene images available on the web. On the other hand, a specific "landmark" usually has some characteristics that distinguish it from surrounding scenes and other landmarks. These two observations make the task of accurately estimating geographic information from a landmark image necessary and feasible. In this paper, we propose a method to identify landmark location by means of landmark recognition in view of significant viewpoint, illumination and temporal variations. We use GPS-based clustering to form groups for different landmarks in the image dataset. The images in each group rather fully express the possible views of the corresponding landmark. We then use a combination of edge and color histogram to match query to database images. Initial experiments with Zubud database and our collected landmark images show that is feasible.

This paper proposes an efficient method of implementing the generalized Hough transform (GHT), which has been hindered by an excessive computing load and a large memory requirement. The conventional algorithm requires a parameter space of 4 dimensions in detection a rotated, scaled, and translated object in an input image. Prior to the application of GHT to the input image, the proposed method determines the angle of rotation and the scaling factor of the test image using the proportion of the edge components between the reference image and test image. With the rotation angle and the scaling factor already determined, the parameter spaceis to be reduced to a simple array of 2 dimensions by applying the unit GHT only one time. The experiments with the image of airplanes reveal that both of the computing time and the requires memory size are reduced by 95 percent, without any degradatationof accuracy, compared with the conventional GHT algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce ETRI AI Strategy #3, "Leading Future Technologies of Network, Media, and Content." Its first goal is "to innovate AI service technology to overcome the current limitations of AI technologies." Artificial intelligence (AI) services, such as self-driving cars and robots, are combinations of computing, network, AI algorithms, and other technologies. To develop AI services, we need to develop different types of network, media coding, and content creation technologies. Moreover, AI technologies are adopted in ICT technologies. Self-planning and self-managing networks and automatic content creation technologies using AI are being developed. This paper introduces the two directions of ETRI's ICT technology development plan for AI: ICT for AI and ICT by AI. The area of ICT for AI has only recently begun to develop. ETRI, the ICT leader, hopes to have opportunities for leadership in the second wave of AI services.

이동 컴퓨팅(Mobile Computing)의 상업적인 응용분야로서, 지능형 교통정보시스템(ITS)에서의 첨단 여행자 정보시스템(ATIS)이 있다. ATIS에서 가장 중요한 이동 컴퓨팅 태스크는 현재 위치에서 목적지까지의 최단 경로를 계산하는 일이다. 본 논문에서는 최단 경로 재 계산 문제에 대해서 연구하였다. 이 문제는 전자 수치 지도(topological digital road map)상의 간선(edge) 비용이 동적인 교통 상태에 따라 빈번하게 갱신되고 있는 ATIS의 동적 경로 안내 시스템(URGS)에서 발생한다. 지금까지 제안된 방법들은 처음부터 최단 경로를 재계산하거나, 또는 단지 비용의 변화가 일어난 간건 상에 있는 양 끝 노드 사이에 대해서 최단 경로를 재계산할 뿐이다. 본 논문에서는 앞서 계산된 최단 경로에 대한 정보를 이용하는 효율적인 적응형 슬라이딩 윈도우 기반의 근접 최단 경로 재 계산 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, as the demand for physical security technology to prevent leakage of technical and business information of companies and public institutions increases, the high tech companies are operating X-ray security checkpoints at building entrances to protect their intellectual property and technology. X-ray security checkpoints are operated to detect cameras and storage media that may store or leak important technologies in the bags of people entering and leaving the building. In this study, we propose an X-ray security checkpoint system that automatically detects a storage medium in an X-ray image using a deep learning based object detection method. The proposed system consists of an edge computing unit and a cloud-computing unit. We employ the RetinaNet for automatic storage media detection in the X-ray security checkpoint images. The proposed approach achieved mAP of 95.92% on private dataset.

The business of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is growing rapidly, and the large amount of data exchange has caused problems of large mobile network communication delay and large energy loss. A strategy for resource allocation of IoV communication based on mobile edge computing (MEC) is thus proposed. First, a model of the cloud-side collaborative cache and resource allocation system for the IoV is designed. Vehicles can offload tasks to MEC servers or neighboring vehicles for communication. Then, the communication model and the calculation model of IoV system are comprehensively analyzed. The optimization objective of minimizing delay and energy consumption is constructed. Finally, the on-board computing task is coded, and the optimization problem is transformed into a knapsack problem. The optimal resource allocation strategy is obtained through genetic algorithm. The simulation results based on the MATLAB platform show that: The proposed strategy offloads tasks to the MEC server or neighboring vehicles, making full use of system resources. In different situations, the energy consumption does not exceed 300 J and 180 J, with an average delay of 210 ms, effectively reducing system overhead and improving response speed.
