In this paper, we propose an algorithm to perform convolution, pooling, and ReLU operations in CNN using binary image and binary kernel. It decomposes 256 gray-scale images into 8 bit planes and uses a binary kernel consisting of -1 and 1. The convolution operation of binary image and binary kernel is performed by addition and subtraction. Logically, it is a binary operation algorithm using the XNOR and comparator. ReLU and pooling operations are performed by using XNOR and OR logic operations, respectively. Through the experiments to verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm, We confirm that the CNN operation can be performed by converting it to binary logic operation. It is an algorithm that can implement deep running even in a system with weak computing power. It can be applied to a variety of embedded systems such as smart phones, intelligent CCTV, IoT system, and autonomous car.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for enhancing the detection speed and rate by reducing the computation in Hough Circle Transform on real-time iris detection of smartphone camera image. First of all, we find a face and eyes from input image to detect iris and normalize the iris region into fixed size to prevent variation of size for iris region according to distance from camera lens. Moreover, we carry out histogram equalization to get regular image in bright and dark illumination from smartphone and calculate minimal iris range that contains iris with the distance between corner of the left eye and corner of the right eye on the image. Subsequently, we can minimize the computation of iris detection by applying Hough Circle Transform on the range including the iris only. The experiment is carried out in two case with bright and dark illumination. Our proposed method represents that detection speed is 40% faster and detection rate is 14% better than existing methods.

This study was conducted to derive the traffic accident risk index through the recognition of the elderly driver's driving pattern to reduce the traffic accident rate of elderly drivers and to reflect them in the renewal and return policy of driver's license accordingly. First, the traffic accident risk index is defined by analyzing the behavioral characteristics of older drivers to derive the major factors that lead to traffic accidents. Second, we present a method to measure the traffic accident risk index from the driving pattern of the elderly through the smart-phone, the camera and the distance sensor attached to the car. Finally, we derive three thresholds by computer simulation and determine the accident risk from the measured traffic accident risk index as four steps and suggest ways to ensure safe driving of older drivers. It is required to objectively assess the driving ability of an aged driver in accordance with the proposed method, and to induce the driver to reset the driver's license renewal cycle and voluntarily return the driver's license to minimize social costs due to increased traffic accidents.

This purpose of this study is to propose the characteristics analysis of the PCB pattern designed two modes for the output voltage value on the PMIC through converting the limited voltage value inputted from a battery. The PCB design technology has been undergoing difficulty in getting the related technology in a domestic market because of increasing EMI/EMC, Cross-talk, Impedance. And it requires to have the appropriate clearance between the patterns and the technology of PCB pattern width with a amperage according to various uses. The study carried out the characteristics analysis of the PCB pattern designed from a direct output method without a capacitor[mode1], to an output method through a capacitor[mode2] for PMIC output voltage value. Besides, we calculated the pattern width with a amperage using the equation suggested by IPC-2221, presenting the right way of the layout design to analyze the trouble with the test. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute not only to applying the PMIC design for the mobile panel power supply, but also helping the design and application technology in various areas such as car control, camera, note-book, computer, PDA, etc.

Information technology improves convenience, safety, and performance of automobiles. Recently, a lot of algorithms are studied to provide safety and environment information for driving, and lane detection algorithm is one of them. In this paper, we propose a lane detection algorithm that reduces the amount of calculation by reducing region of interest (ROI) after preprocessing. The proposed algorithm reduces the area of ROI a lot by determining the candidate regions near lane boundaries as V-ROI so that the amount of calculation is reduced. In addition, the amount of calculation can be maintained almost the same regardless of the resolutions of the input images by compressing the images since the lane detection algorithm does not require high resolution. The proposed algorithm is implemented using C++ and OpenCV library and is verified to work at 30 fps for realtime operation.

The rapid deployment of millions of mobile sensors and smart devices has resulted in high demand for opportunistic encounter-based networking. For the cooperative video surveillance of dashboard cameras in nearby vehicles, a fast and energy-efficient asynchronous neighbor discovery protocol is indispensable because a dashboard camera is an energy-hungry device after the vehicle's engine has turned off. In the existing asynchronous neighbor discovery protocols, all nodes always try to discover all neighbors. However, a dashboard camera needs to discover nearby dashboard cameras when an event is detected. In this paper, we propose a fast and energy-efficient asynchronous neighbor discovery protocol, which enables nodes : 1) to have different roles in neighbor discovery, 2) to discover neighbors within a search range, and 3) to report promptly the exact discovery result. The proposed protocol has two modes: periodic wake-up mode and active discovery mode. A node begins with the periodic wake-up mode to be discovered by other nodes, switches to the active discovery mode on receiving a neighbor discovery request, and returns to the periodic wake-up mode when the active discovery mode finishes. In the periodic wake-up mode, a node wakes up at multiples of number ${\alpha}$, where ${\alpha}$ is determined by the node's remaining battery power. In the active discovery mode, a node wakes up for consecutive ${\gamma}$ slots. Then, the node operating in the active discovery mode can discover all neighbors waking up at multiples of ${\beta}$ for ${\beta}{\leq}{\gamma}$ within ${\gamma}$ time slots. Since the proposed protocol assigns one half of the duty cycle to each mode, it consumes equal to or less energy than the existing protocols. A performance comparison shows that the proposed protocol outperforms the existing protocols in terms of discovery latency and energy consumption, where the frequency of neighbor discovery requests by car accidents is not constantly high.

The death rate of pedestrian in car accidents in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the average of OECD countries'. If a system that can detect pedestrians and send alarm to drivers is built and reduces the rate, it is worth developing such a pedestrian detection system (PDS). Since the accident rate in which pedestrians are involved is higher at nighttime than in daytime, the adoption of nighttime PDS is being standardized by big auto companies. However, they are usually using night visions or multiple sensors, which are usually expensive. In this paper we suggest a method for nighttime PDS using single wide dynamic range (WDR) monochrome camera in visible spectrum band. In our experiments, pedestrians were accurately detected if only most edges of pedestrians could be obtained.

Emerging applications such as Smart factory, in-car network, wide area power network require strict bounds on the end-to-end network delays. Flow-based scheduler in traditional Integrated Services (IntServ) architecture could be possible solution, yet its complexity prohibits practical implementation. Sub-optimal class-based scheduler cannot provide guaranteed delay since the burst increases rapidly as nodes are passed by. Therefore a leaky-bucket type regulator placed next to the scheduler is being considered widely. This paper proposes a simple server that achieves both fair scheduling and traffic regulation at the same time. The performance of the proposed server is investigated, and it is shown that a few msec delay bound can be achieved even in large scale networks.
