  • This paper presents a collision free mobile robot navigation based on the fuzzy inference fusion model in unkonown environments using multi-ultrasonic sensor. Six ultrasonic sensors are used for the collision avoidance approach where CCD camera sensors is used for the trajectory following approach. The fuzzy system is composed of three inputs which are the six distance sensors and the camera, two outputs which are the left and right velocities of the mobile robot's wheels, and three cost functions for the robot's movement, direction, obstacle avoidance, and rotation. For the evaluation of the proposed algorithm, we performed real experiments with mobile robot with ultrasonic sensors. The results show that the proposed algorithm is apt to identify obstacles in unknown environments to guide the robot to the goal location safely.

  • In this paper, we propose a fuzzy inference model for a navigation algorithm for a mobile robot that intelligently searches goal location in unknown dynamic environments. Our model uses sensor fusion based on situational commands using an ultrasonic sensor. Instead of using the "physical sensor fusion" method, which generates the trajectory of a robot based upon the environment model and sensory data, a "command fusion" method is used to govern the robot motions. The navigation strategy is based on a combination of fuzzy rules tuned for both goal-approach and obstacle-avoidance based on a hierarchical behavior-based control architecture. To identify the environments, a command fusion technique is introduced where the sensory data of the ultrasonic sensors and a vision sensor are fused into the identification process. The result of experiment has shown that highlights interesting aspects of the goal seeking, obstacle avoiding, decision making process that arise from navigation interaction.

  • We propose in this paper a novel approach to image fusion in which the fusion rule is guided by optimizing an image clarity function. A Genetic Algorithm is used to stochastically select, comparative to the clarity function, the optimum block from among the source images. A novel nested Genetic Algorithm with gifted individuals found through bombardment of genes by the mutation operator is designed and implemented. Convergence of the algorithm is analytically and empirically examined and statistically compared (MANOVA) with the canonical GA using 3 test functions commonly used in the GA literature. The resulting GA is invariant to parameters and population size, and a minimal size of 20 individuals is found to be sufficient in the tests. In the fusion application, each individual in the population is a finite sequence of discrete values that represent input blocks. Performance of the proposed technique applied to image fusion experiments, is characterized in terms of Mutual Information (MI) as the output quality measure. The method is tested with C=2 input images. The results of the proposed scheme indicate a practical and attractive alternative to current multi-focus image fusion techniques.

  • The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of additional modalities on the performance of emotion recognition using speech, facial expression and physiological measurements. In order to compare different approaches, we designed a feature-based recognition system as a benchmark which carries out linear supervised classification followed by the leave-one-out cross-validation. For the classification of four emotions, it turned out that bimodal fusion in our experiment improves recognition accuracy of unimodal approach, while the performance of trimodal fusion varies strongly depending on the individual. Furthermore, we experienced extremely high disparity between single class recognition rates, while we could not observe a best performing single modality in our experiment. Based on these observations, we developed a novel fusion method, called parametric decision fusion (PDF), which lies in building emotion-specific classifiers and exploits advantage of a parametrized decision process. By using the PDF scheme we achieved 16% improvement in accuracy of subject-dependent recognition and 10% for subject-independent recognition compared to the best unimodal results.

  • Modern industry has focused on processing that produce low- loss dielectric substrates used complex micron-sized devices using tick film technologies such as tape casting and slip casting. However, these processes have inherent disadvantages fabricating high density interconnect with embedded passives for high speed communication electronic devices. Here, we have successfully fabricated porous alumina dielectric layer infiltrated with polymer solution by using inkjet printing process. Alumina suspensions were formulated as dielectric ink that were optimized to use in inkjet process. The layer was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) for measuring microstructure and volume fraction. In addition, the reaction kinetics and electrical properties were characterized by FT-IR and the impedance analyzer. The volume fraction of alumina in porous dielectric alumina layer is around 70% much higher than that in the conventional process. Furthermore, after infiltration on the dielectric layer using polymer resins such as cyanate ester. Excellent Q factors of the dielectric is about 200 when confirmed by impedance analyzer without any high temperature process.

  • This paper proposes a parking space detection method for autonomous parking by using the Around View Monitor (AVM) image and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor fusion. This method consists of removing obstacles except for the parking line, detecting the parking line, and template matching method to detect the parking space location information in the parking lot. In order to remove the obstacles, we correct and converge LIDAR information considering the distortion phenomenon in AVM image. Based on the assumption that the obstacles are removed, the line filter that reflects the thickness of the parking line and the improved radon transformation are applied to detect the parking line clearly. The parking space location information is detected by applying template matching with the modified parking space template and the detected parking lines are used to return location information of parking space. Finally, we propose a novel parking space detection system that returns relative distance and relative angle from the current vehicle to the parking space.
