We propose a new global positioning method for the indoor mobile robots. The multiple indoor lights fixed in ceiling are used as the landmarks of positioning system. The ceiling images are acquired by the fisheye lens camera mounted on the moving robot. The position and orientation of the lights are extracted by binarization and labeling techniques. Also the boundary lines between ceiling and walls are extracted to identify the order of each light. The robot position is then calculated from the extracted position and known position of the lights. The proposed system can increase the accuracy and reduce the computation time comparing with the other positioning methods using natural landmark. Experimental results are presented to show the performance of the method.

Future electric lights will be composed of white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). Indoor wireless optical communication systems utilizing white LED lights have been studying about it. Generally, plural lights are installed in room. Therefore, their optical path difference must be considered. In this paper, the influence of an optical path difference has been investigated and two approaches against this problem are introduced. One uses OOK-RZ (On-Off Keying, Return-to-Zero) coding and the other uses optical OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). From the results of computer simulations, we have found that these approaches are feasible for the wireless optical communication systems utilizing white LED lights.

In recent years, along with the rapid development of LED technology, indoor positioning systems based on visible light communication (VLC) have been researched. In this paper, we propose an accurate indoor positioning method using white-light LEDs and a dual image sensor. Indoor LED lights are located at the ceiling in a room and broadcast information on their positions using VLC technology. A mobile device with a dual image sensor receives LED position information by VLC and estimates its position and azimuth angle. Simulation and experimental results are given to show the performance of the proposed indoor positioning system.

최근 복합 문화 시설이 증가하면서 지하 공간 활용이 확대됨에 따라, 사용자의 실내 위치에 따른 주변 정보만을 무선으로 제공해주는 맞춤형 서비스에 대한 요구도 확산되고 있다. LED 조명을 이용한 가시광 통신 방식의 경우, GPS를 사용할 수 없는 실내 공간에서 위치 기반 서비스를 구현하기에 적합하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 가시광 통신을 이용한 실내 위치 기반 서비스를 구현하기 위해 기준 위치를 구분하는 실험에 대해 다룬다. LED 조명의 특성을 고려하여 LED와 PD 간의 각도 및 거리에 따라 LED 조명별로 서로 다른 식별 패턴을 ASCII 코드로 전송한 결과 최대 1.75m의 거리까지 LED 조명의 식별자를 수신할 수 있음을 확인한다. 이러한 실험 결과를 통하여 LED 조명을 이용한 실내 네비게이션의 가능성을 확인해볼 수 있다.

Visual Environment and productivity are correlated. So we need to create a comfortable visual environment and maintain proper workplane illumination level. We can obtain lighting energy savings and comfortable visual environment using daylight and LED lights. In this study, we characterized the indoor illuminance level according to the sky condition and proposed dimming control strategy of LED lights. Energy savings in On/Off control mode are 40% at clear sky and 28% at intermediate sky. In dimming control mode, energy savings are 77.2% at clear sky and 64.1% at intermediate sky. Then we obtain the appropriate dimming control strategy of LED lights based on data. Dimming rates are 0-14.2-80(min-avg-max, %) for LED 1, 0-19.9-60% for LED 2 and 30-61.4-90% for LED 3. Lighting energy savings are 68.2% for LED dimming system applied this control method.

In outdoor visible light communication channels and LED road illumination communications for the intelligent transport systems (ITS), inter symbol interference (ISI) due to multipath propagation prevents high data rate transmission. Indoor wireless optical communication systems utilizing white LED lights and on the road illumination have been studying about it. Generally, plural lights are installed in room and considered to the traffic information system using existing LED traffic lights. Therefore, their optical path difference must be considered. In this paper, the influence of an optical path difference has been investigated and two approaches against this problem are introduced. One uses on-off keying, return-to-zero (OOK-RZ) coding and the other uses optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM).

This study is to investigate the utilization of Indoor Proscenium Stage Zone Lighting method in the dancing performance. In other words, it is about how we can utilize the principle of zone lighting in dancing performance, a kind of stage art. Stage lights give lights on the stage. Therefore they play big and important roles in dancing performances. Lightings make big influence on the overall atvosphere and situations of the dancing work but most of dancers do not perceive their importance and furthermore they don't know about the lightings very well. To let them know about stage lightings better, we studied lightings form the perspective of the dancers who face the lightings without great knowledge thresh the articles and literature related general lightings and lighting design, books related to stage lightings and dancing lightings, previous studies and academic articles. The most important part of this study is to understand and utilize the principle of zone lightiing. Zone lighting is generally called as cross lighting, which means single light from the crossed two lights. When looking into the principle of the zone lighting of the Indoor Proscenium Stage, it means 45 degree lighting from both sides of the top form the point of the dancer When more than two lights are used, the angle of the light should be $90^{\circ}$or 120. It is the principle of the lighting technology showing the face and body of the dancers ing three dimension. Applying for the principle of this zone lighting to the dancing performance of Indoor Proscenium Stage, the lighting methods and the usage of the lightings were studied. As shown above, the role of the lighting is very important in dancing configuration. We hope that the perception on the dancing lighting will be changed and studies on the dancing lightings. By understanding and applying more principles of lighting, we will make efforts to make better dancing performance and dancing conporsers and dancers shall make more efforts and studies on lighting for better works. Through such efforts, we can have more experts and professionals In dancing lighting field and they will help us to describe and express the intention of the dancing work better as dancing artists. We hope that there will be better quality performances through more and diversified studies in this field.

본 논문에서는 영상 감시 시스템의 중요한 조건인 주위의 조명 광이 변화하는 환경 하에서도 감시의 효율 개선할 수 있는 알고리듬을 고안하고 이를 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 감시 시스템의 어려운 처리 과정들 중 하나인 카메라로 들어오는 조명광의 변화에 대처할 수 있는 영상처리 기법으로서 기존의 감시 시스템들은 이러한 변화에 따른 오차 특성을 고려하지 않았다. 실제로, 영상 감시시스템에 미치는 영향들로는 야간의 미약한 영상정보 그리고 조명의 반사나 등이 있으며, 이러한 영향은 정확한 물체를 인식하는데 많은 오차를 발생시킨다. 특히 야간영상에서 미약한 영상정보와 노이즈로 인한 오차특성은 감시 시스템의 성능을 가늠할 정도로 그 영향이 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 조명광의 변화에 강인한 필터를 설계하고, 히스토그램 분석과 가보 필터를 이용하여 효과적으로 이 동물체를 인식 및 추적 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 그 결과 조명 광이 좋은 상태인 주간에는 인식률이 이동 물체의 수에 대하여 약간의 차이가 있으나, $92\sim100%$의 인식률을 보였고, 야간의 경우 조명이 미약한 상태에서도 $80\sim90%$의 인식률을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 LED 조명 기반의 실내 측위 시스템을 제안하였다. LED가 빛을 방출하며 고속의 switching이 가능하다는 반도체 조명이라는 특징을 이용하여 각각의 LED 조명에 고유의 8 비트 ID를 부여 후, 이를 방출되는 조명 빛에 변조하여 보내주었다. 수신기는 16 개의 LED 조명으로부터 조합된 정보를 수신하게 되고, 수신된 정보와 각각의 ID 정보 간의 correlation coefficient를 이용하여 $4\;m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$의 공간에서 100 cm 및 50 cm resolution을 가지는 위치인식 시스템을 시뮬레이션을 통해 구현하여 보았다. 제안된 측위 시스템은 간단한 알고리즘을 사용하였고, LED 조명 인프라를 사용하여 구축함으로써 설치비용 절감이 가능할 것이라 기대된다.

As professional postnatal care systems have been rapidly supplied, there is sharp increase of postnatal care centers without legal regulations for a mother and a infant. For the quick recovery of mothers, newborn infants that have weaker immune systems are being managed in group in the postnatal care centers. Recently, the attention of the postnatal care centers has been growing because the problem of pneumonia which led to result in a casuality in a infant unit was happen. So, this research analyzed the indoor environment of infant unit through measuring formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, intensity of illumination. As a result of the data, infant units showed higher concentration of formaldehyde and carbon dioxide than Indoor Air Quality Control Law. Moreover, infant units was measured higher intensity of illumination than the range of optimum illumination for infants.
