Sensors that are used on wireless sensor networks can be divided into two types: directional sensors, such as PIR, image, and electromagnetic sensors; and non-directional sensors, such as seismic, acoustic and magnetic sensors. In order to guarantee the line-of-sight of a directional sensor, the installation location of the sensor must be higher than ground level. Among non-directional sensors, seismic sensors should be installed on the ground in order to ensure the maximal performance. As a result, seismic sensors may have network connectivity problems due to communication failure. In this paper, we propose a 3D node deployment method to maximize the coverage and the network connectivity considering the sensor-specific properties. The proposed method is for non-directional sensors to be placed on the ground, while the directional sensor is installed above the ground, using trees or poles, to maximize the coverage. As a result, through the topology that the detection data from non-directional sensors are transmitted to the directional sensor, we can maximize the network connectivity. Simulation results show that our strategy improves sensor coverage and network connectivity.

Many Construction companies are making great efforts to prevent accidents on their work sites. Safety is one of the greatest success factors on a construction project. Nowadays, many safety tools are being applied to construction sites. In addition, an emotional safety culture is an important factor for promoting a "safety first" mindset on construction sites. Therefore, this research aims to examine the effectiveness of the emotional safety system using PIR (Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensors to improve the safety mindset in the building construction site. The results of this research revealed that many construction site workers are satisfied with the emotional safety system using sensors. In addition, it was found that voice safety systems give a positive impulse to the workers. By applying this system to construction sites, construction companies can improve safety and work productivity.

Security and monitoring system has many applications and commonly used for detection, warning, alarm, etc. As the networking technology advances, user requirements are getting higher. An intelligent and cooperative surveillance system is proposed to meet current user demands and improve the performance. This paper focuses on the implementation issue for the embedded intelligent surveillance system. To cover wide area cooperative function is implemented and connected by wireless sensor network technology. Also to improve the performance lots of sensors are employed into the surveillance system to reduce the error but improve the detection probability. The proposed surveillance system is composed of vision sensor (camera), mic array sensor, PIR sensor, etc. Between the sensors, data is transferred by IEEE 802.11s or Zigbee protocol. We deployed a private network for the sensors and multiple gateways for better data throughput. The developed system is targeted to the traffic accident detection and alarm. However, its application can be easily changed to others by just changing software algorithm in a DSP chip.

In this paper, we studied the voice recognition system kiosk for convenience, thinking that the kiosk widely used in modern society should compensate for the inconvenience of using by the visually impaired. Using ultrasonic sensor and PIR(Passive Infrared), it recognizes the visually impaired within the range of 80cm-40cm, introduces the kiosk through the MP3 module and induces them to come closer. Also, when the visually impaired within 40cm is recognized, the product description and order are guided through the MP3 module. A recording-based data voice recognition system and a kiosk that outputs desired items through servo motors were studied. A kiosk for the convenience of the visually impaired was manufactured through operation and optimization experiments of PIR, ultrasonic, voice recognition, and shock sensor for the manufactured voice recognition kiosk. Finally, it was confirmed that security can be strengthened by using shock sensors and emergency bells to enhance security.

In this paper an intelligence embedding quadruped pet robot is described. It has 15 degrees of freedom and consists of various sensors such as CMOS image, voice recognition and sound localization, inclinometer, thermistor, real-time clock, tactile touch, PIR and IR to allows owners to interact with pet robot according to human's intention as well as the original features of pet animals. The architecture is flexible and adopts various embedded processors for handling sensors to provide modular structure. The pet robot is also used for additional purpose such like security, gaming visual tracking, and research platform. It is possible to generate various actions and behaviors and to download voice or music files to maintain a close relation of users. With cost-effective sensor, the pet robot is able to find its recharge station and recharge itself when its battery runs low. To facilitate programming of the robot, we support several development environments. Therefore, the developed system is a low-cost programmable entertainment robot platform.

This study proposes a monitoring system that effectively watches surroundings by cooperating the various sensor information including image information on a sensor network system. The monitoring system proposed in this paper is developed to watch certain intruders to the internal spaces through the interested region for exceptional time by installing cameras, PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor and body detectors in such interested regions. Moreover the monitering system is implemented based on the SenWeaver plateform which is a integrated development tools for building wireless sensor network system. In the results of the test that was applied to a practically experimental environment by implementing some interfaces for the proposed system, it was considered that it is possible to watch surroundings effectively using the image information obtained from cameras and multiple sensor information acquisited from sensor nodes.

This paper describes a remote system to monitor the circadian behavioral patterns of elders who live alone. The proposed system was designed and implemented to provide more conveniently and reliably the required functionalities of a remote monitoring system for elders based on the development of first phase prototype[2]. The developed system is composed of an in-house sensing system and a server system. The in-house sensing system is a set of wireless sensor nodes which have pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor to detect a motion of elder. Each sensing node sends its detection signal to a home gateway via wireless link. The home gateway stores the received signals into a remote database. The server system is composed of a database server and a web server, which provides web-based monitoring system to caregivers (friends, family and social workers) for more cost effective intelligent care service. The improved second phase system can provide 'automatic diagnosis', 'going out detection', and enhanced user interface functionalities. We have evaluated the first and second phase monitoring systems from real field experiments of 3/4 months continuous operation with installation of 9/15 elders' houses, respectively. The experimental results show the promising possibilities to estimate the behavioral patterns and the current status of elder even though the simplicity of sensing capability.

Latest, it is dealt with seriously problems that an intruder kidnapping students in elementary school. Especially young students is more vulnerable in these risks. Elementary School has many limitations in controlling the intrusion of trespassers. A problem occurs that requires a lot of manpower through the deployment and management of security systems such as CCTV and control systems. In this paper, we is designed and implemented the outsider access management system using a sensor network and PZT camera called the USN's core technology to monitoring the access control for controlling the mobility of the trespassers.
