The visible light convergence communication technology is suitable for indoor wireless communication and digital lighting fixtures, it could be used as lighting devices as well as a communication device. However, because that VLC is the technology of came to world a few years ago, there are many problems which had to solve. The signal sensing of VLC transmitter is one of the most challenging issue in VLC systems. Therefore in this paper, we analysis the performance of various sensing scheme for efficient detection of VLC systems. The signal of user is OFDM signal and the wirelss channel between a user and VLC system is modeled as indoor VLC channel. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme is very effective to signal sensing for VLC systems.

Various technologies such as infrared light, ultrasonic waves, RFID, GPS, UWB, and signal indicators have been incorporated in the location tracking system. However, such pre-existing systems require location recognition in shadow areas. This study proposes a location tracking system that utilizes Cooperative Spectrum Sensing. Cooperative Spectrum Sensing is not only able to track the location and path of moving objects but also recognize when objects breakaway from the path set by sensors and guide them back. In addition, it has the advantage of being more efficient in terms of frequency usage. It is able to automatically fix power transmission and frequency modulation for transmission cognitive users to an optimum level within the range that does not cause interference for primary users.

$CO_2$ uptake of vegetation is one of the important variables in order to estimate photosynthetic activity, plant growth and carbon budget estimations. The objective of this research was to develop a new estimation method of $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation based on airborne hyperspectral remote sensing measurements in combination with a photosynthetic rate curve model. In this study, a compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) was used to obtain image over a field that had been set up to study the $CO_2$ uptake of corn on August 7, 2002. Also, a field survey was conducted concurrently with the CASI overpass. As a field survey, chlorophyll a content, photosynthetic rate curve, Leaf area, dry biomass and light condition were measured. The developed estimation method for $CO_2$ uptake consists of three major parts: a linear mixture model, an enhanced big leaf model and a photosynthetic rate curve model. The Accuracy of this scheme indicates that $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation could be estimated by using airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data in combination with a physiological model.

Recently, high-performance HMDs (Head-Mounted Display) are becoming wireless due to the growth of virtual reality technology. Accordingly, environmental constraints on the hardware usage are reduced, enabling multiple users to experience virtual reality within a single space simultaneously. Existing multi-user virtual reality platforms use the user's location tracking and motion sensing technology based on vision sensors and active markers. However, there is a decrease in immersion due to the problem of overlapping markers or frequent matching errors due to the reflected light. Goal of this study is to develop a multi-user virtual reality moving platform in a single space that can resolve sensing errors and user immersion decrease. In order to achieve this goal hybrid sensing technology was developed, which is the convergence of vision sensor technology for position tracking, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor motion capture technology and gesture recognition technology based on smart gloves. In addition, integrated safety operation system was developed which does not decrease the immersion but ensures the safety of the users and supports multimodal feedback. A 6 m×6 m×2.4 m test bed was configured to verify the effectiveness of the multi-user virtual reality moving platform for four users.

Stretchable electronics are emerging as next-generation devices owing to their unique deformable characteristics, which allow their application on nonplanar and even deformable surfaces. However, to implement advanced functions in stretchable electronics, conventional rigid components must be integrated to reduce the overall stretchability of these systems. Various design strategies have been proposed to address this challenge. One notable approach involves dividing the electronics into nonstretchable regions for component integration and stretchable interconnector regions that absorb strain. However, stretchable interconnectors, which electrically connect nonstretchable circuits, may reduce the functional density of electronics. In this study, we present a design strategy for self-sensing stretchable electronics by embedding strain sensors within stretchable interconnectors. We provide both computational and experimental evidence demonstrating the advantages of this approach and validate the feasibility of the design by developing a stretchable light-emitting diode (LED) matrix with self-sensing capabilities for measuring the stretching ratio. The results presented herein offer valuable strategies for advancing applications that require stretchable electronics with high functional densities. Moreover, the self-sensing design approach has significant potential for application in proprioceptive electronics.

Remote-sensing optical payloads, especially hyperspectral imagers, have particular issues with stray light because they often encounter high-contrast target/background conditions, such as sun glint. While developing an optical payload, we usually apply several stray-light analysis methods, including forward and backward analyses, separately or in combination, to support lens design and optomechanical design. In addition, we often characterize the stray-light response over a full field to support calibration, or when developing an algorithm to correct stray-light errors. For this purpose, we usually use forward analysis across the entire field, but this requires a tremendous amount of computational time. In this paper, we propose a sequence of forward-backward-forward analyses to more effectively investigate the through-field response of stray light, utilizing the combined advantages of the individual methods. The application is an airborne hyperspectral imager for creating hyperspectral maps from 900 to 1700 nm in a 5-nm-continuous band. With the proposed method, we have investigated the through-field response of stray light to an effective accuracy of 0.1°, while reducing computation time to 1/17^th of that for a conventional, forward-only stray-light analysis.

The regulation of satellite remote sensing is generally included with the scope of statutes governing outer space activities. But not all states opted for dedicated satellite remote sensing regulation. The decision whether to do so depends in part on the specific capabilities of national satellite remote sensing programs. Five states that have dedicated statutes governing operations with remote sensing data are the United States, with its developed Landsat regime (the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992, LRSPA), Canada, with its Remote Sensing Systems Act, Germany, with its Satellite Data Securities Protection Act (SatDSiG), France, with its Law on Space Operations (LOS), Japan, with its Act on Ensuring Appropriate Handling of Satellite Remote Sensing Data. The major purpose of this article is to shed light on some legal issues surrounding remote sensing activities by comparative review. The paper analyzes international conventions or soft law and national law and policies relating to satellite remote sensing. It also offers some implications and suggestions for regulations of satellite remote sensing operations and satellite data.

When raining or snowing, windshield wiper system is very important for safety of driver. However, manual wiper system frequently needed to be controlled for sufficient visibility and it was very uncomfortable. So, rain sensor which controls automatically was developed. This rain sensor technology uses optical sensing technique sensed the rainfall by receiving reflected light of rain dropped on the windshield. The technology used optical sensor was simple and easy to implement as a rain sensing system in the car. However, it is sometime shown low accuracy to measure rainfall on the windshield when affected by ambient lights from surroundings. It is also given inconvenience to the driver to control the car. To solving these problems, we propose a rain sensing system using image sensor and the fuzzy wiper control algorithm.

A novel surface plasmon resonance(SPR) multisensing method, which does not require imaging apparatus such as CCD, has been proposed and implemented experimentally. The proposed method is based on the multichannel SPR and the separation of signals by use of additional layers whose thickness is controlled. SPR signals are influenced by the thickness of sensing layer as well as the optical condition of sensing surface. As the SPR signals from different ligands are usually positioned closely, the reflected light from sensing surface does not provide us with the clear differences of resonance signal depending on the kinds of ligands. It was found from our experiments that SPR signals from each ligand that is located on the additional layer with different thickness can be separated clearly enough to identify various signals from different ligands. Proposed method with theoretical design and simulation has been verified experimentally by using $SiO_2$ thin film layer as additional layer.
