Recently, researches on sensor-based U-health applications that provide personal health information such as blood pressure, body temperature, and glucose, have actively been studied. The health information obtained via sensors, however, may have accuracy problems so that they can not be used unprocessed. This paper proposes a sensor abstraction layer for enhancing the accuracy of sensor readings from biomedical sensors that interact with smart phones. This layer recognizes sensor types and converts sensor readings into a form as specified in ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Standard. When necessary, not only a filtering method that eliminates outlier values from sensor readings but also a summarization method that transforms them into more suitable forms, can also be applied. An android-based development board is used for the evaluation of proposed sensor abstraction layer. The results obtained by applying filtering and summarization show improved accuracy over unprocessed sensor readings of the body temperature and heartbeat sensors.

In wireless sensor networks, consensus algorithms for dynamic systems may flexibly usable for their data fusion of a sensor network. In this paper, a distributed data fusion filter is implemented using an average consensus based on distributed sensor data, which is composed of some sensor nodes and a sink node to track the mean values of n sensors' data. The consensus filter resolve the problem of data fusion by a distribution Kalman filtering scheme. We showed that the consensus filter has an optimal convergence to decrease of noise propagation and fast tracking ability for input signals. In order to verify for the results of consensus filtering, we showed the output signals of sensor nodes and their filtering results, and then showed the result of the combined signal and the consensus filtering using zeegbee communication.

Recently, various monitoring systems are implemented actively by using wireless sensor networks(WSN). When implementing WSN-based monitoring system, there are three important issues to consider. At First, we need to consider a sensor node failure detection method to support the ongoing monitoring. Secondly, because sensor nodes use limited battery power, we need an efficient data filtering method to reduce energy consumption. At Last, a reducing processing overhead method is necessary. The existing Kalman filtering scheme has good performance on data filtering, but it causes too much processing overhead to estimate sensed data. To solve these problems, we, in this paper, propose a new data filtering scheme based on data statical analysis. First, the proposed scheme periodically aggregates node survival massages to support a node failure detection. Secondly, to reduce energy consumption, it sends the sample data with a node survival massage and do data filtering based on those messages. Finally, it analyzes the sample data to estimate filtering range in a server. As a result, each sensor node can use only simple compare operation for filtering data. In addition, we show from our performance analysis that the proposed scheme outperforms the Kalman filtering scheme in terms of the number of sending messages.

In wireless sensor networks, adversaries may physically capture sensor nodes on the fields, and use them to launch false positive attacks (FPAs). FPAs could be conducted by injecting forged or old sensing reports, which would represent non-existent events on the fields, with the goal of disorientating the base stations and/or reducing the limited energy resources of sensor nodes on the fields. Researchers have proposed various mitigation methods against FPAs, including the statistical en-route filtering scheme (SEF). Most of these methods are based on key pre-distribution schemes and can efficiently filter injected false reports out at relay nodes through the verification of in-transit reports using the pre-distributed keys. However, their filtering power may decrease as time goes by since adversaries would attempt to capture additional nodes as many as possible. In this paper, we propose an adaptive key distribution method that could maintain the security power of SEF in WSNs under such circumstances. The proposed method makes, if necessary, BS update or re-distribute keys, which are used to endorse and verify reports, with the consideration of the filtering power and energy efficiency. Our experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective, compared to SEF, against FPAs in terms of security level and energy saving.

In this study, we propose a compensation method of raw LiDAR data with noise and noise filtering for signal processing of LiDAR sensors during the development phase. The raw LiDAR data include constant errors generated by delays in transmitting and receiving signals, which can be resolved by LiDAR signal compensation. The signal compensation consists of two stage. First one is LiDAR sensor calibration for a compensation of geometric distortion. Second is walk error compensation. LiDAR data also include fluctuation and outlier noise, the latter of which is removed by data filtering. In this study, we compensate for the fluctuation by using the Kalman filter method, and we remove the outlier noise by applying a Gaussian weight function.

The digital sun sensor calculates the incident sunlight angle using the sunlight image registered on a CMOS image sensor. In order to accomplish this, an exact center of the sunlight image has to be determined. Therefore, an accurate estimate of the centroid is the most important factor in digital sun sensor development. The most general method for determining the centroid is the thresholding method, and this method is also the simplest and easy to implement. Another centering algorithm often used is the image filtering method that utilizes image processing. The sun sensor accuracy using these methods, however, is quite susceptible to noise in the detected sunlight intensity. This is especially true in the thresholding method where the accuracy changes according to the threshold level. In this paper, a template method that uses the sunlight image model to determine the centroid of the sunlight image is suggested, and the performance has been compared and analyzed. The template method suggested, unlike the thresholding and image filtering method, has comparatively higher accuracy. In addition, it has the advantage of having consistent level of accuracy regardless of the noise level, which results in a higher reliability.

Interest in bio-signal monitoring of wearable devices is increasing significantly as the next generation needs to develop new devices to dominate the global market of the information and communication technology industry. Accordingly, this research developed a resistive textile strain sensor through a wetting process in a single-wall carbon nanotube dispersion solution using an E-Band with low hysteresis. To measure the resistance signal in the E-Band to which electrical conductivity is applied, a universal material tester, an Arduino, and LCR meters that are microcontroller units were used to measure the resistance change according to the tensile change. To effectively handle various noises generated due to the characteristics of the fabric textile strain sensor, the filter performance of the sensor was evaluated using the moving average filter, Savitsky-Golay filter, and intermediate filters of signal processing. As a result, the reliability of the filtering result of the moving average filter was at least 89.82% with a maximum of 97.87%, and moving average filtering was suitable as the noise filtering method of the textile strain sensor.

Internet of Things (IoT) systems process signals from various sensors using signal processing algorithms suitable for the signal characteristics. To analyze complex signals, these systems usually use signal processing algorithms in the frequency domain, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), filtering, and short-time Fourier transform (STFT). In this study, we propose a multi-mode sensor signal processor (SSP) accelerator with an FFT-based hardware design. The FFT processor in the proposed SSP is designed with a radix-2 single-path delay feedback (R2SDF) pipeline architecture for high-speed operation. Moreover, based on this FFT processor, the proposed SSP can perform filtering and STFT operation. The proposed SSP is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). By sharing the FFT processor for each algorithm, the required hardware resources are significantly reduced. The proposed SSP is implemented and verified on Xilinxh's Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC ZCU104 with 53,591 look-up tables (LUTs), 71,451 flip-flops (FFs), and 44 digital signal processors (DSPs). The FFT, filtering, and STFT algorithm implementations on the proposed SSP achieve 185x average acceleration.
