  • In this paper we propose nonlinear control system for automatic unmanned vehicle using a RC (Radio Controlled) car which is usually controlled by a remote controller. In the proposed system, a RC car is dissembled and reassembled with several parts enabling it to be controlled by an android mobile platform with Bluetooth communication. In our system, an android mobile smartphone is mounted on the RC car and plays an important role as an eye of the car. The proposed system automatically controls the RC car to follow a lane that we draw on the floor of our laboratory. Also, the proposed RC car system can also be controlled manually using the accelerometer sensor of a smartphone through a Bluetooth module. Our proposed system that has both manual mode and automatic mode consists of several components; a microprocessor unit, a Bluetooth serial interface module, a smartphone, a dual motor controller and a RC toy car. We are now in the development of a group driving system in which one car follows the front car that tracks a lane automatically.

  • In this paper, we designed a software library that produces integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) / Inertial Navigation System (INS) navigation information using the raw measurements provided by the GNSS chipset, gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer embedded in android smartphone. Loosely coupled integration method was used to derive information of GNSS /INS integrated navigation. An application built in the designed library was developed and installed on the android smartphone. And we conducted field experiments. GNSS navigation messages were collected in the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Service (RTCM 3.0) format by the Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP). As a result of experiments, it was confirmed that design requirements were satisfied by deriving navigation such as three-dimensional position and speed, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG), heading and protection level (PL) using the designed library. In addition, the results of this experiment are expected to be applicable to maritime navigation applications using smart device.

  • Human activity recognition(HAR) using smartphones is a hot research topic in computational intelligence. Smartphones are equipped with a variety of sensors. Fusing the data of these sensors could enable applications to recognize a large number of activities. However, these devices have fewer resources because of the limited number of sensors available, and feature selection and classification methods are required to achieve optimal performance and efficient feature extraction. This paper proposes a smartphone-based HAR scheme according to these requirements. The proposed method in this paper extracts time-domain features from acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, and barometer sensors, and recognizes activities with high accuracy by applying KDA and SVM. This approach selects the most relevant feature of each sensor for each activity. Our comparison results shows that the proposed system outperforms previous smartphone-based HAR systems.

  • In this paper, we propose an active 3D shape acquisition method based on photometric stereo using camera and flash on a smartphone. Two smartphones are used as the master and slave, in which the slave projects illumination from different locations while the master captures the images and processes photometric stereo algorithm to reconstruct 3D shape. In order to reduce the error, the smartphone's camera is calibrated to overcome the effect of the lens distortion and nonlinear camera sensor response. We apply 5-point algorithm to estimate the pose between smartphone cameras and then estimate lighting direction vector to run the photometric stereo algorithm. Experimental result shows that the proposed system enables us to use smartphone as a 3D camera with low cost and high quality.

  • Humans have used acceleration sensors to perceive behavior. Using the application principles of inertia sensor such as acceleration and gyro sensors, the sensor indirectly measures movement through forces applied on a three-dimensional axis. This may result in different results depending on the location of the sensor in possession, even in the same way. The sensor, which is also mounted on popular smartphones, measured different values of acceleration sensors, whether in hand or in pocket, which are commonly used by people.

  • Mobile devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the latest generation of smartphones now incorporates many diverse and powerful sensors. These sensors include acceleration sensor, magnetic field sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, gyroscope sensor, pressure sensor, rotation vector sensor, gravity sensor and orientation sensor. The availability of these sensors in mass-marketed communication devices creates exciting new opportunities for data mining and data mining applications. In this paper, we describe and evaluate a system that uses phone-based accelerometers to perform activity recognition, a task which involves identifying the physical activity that a user is performing. To implement our system, we collected labeled accelerometer data from 10 users as they performed daily activities such as "phone detached", "idle", "walking", "running", and "jumping", and then aggregated this time series data into examples that summarize the user activity 5-minute intervals. We then used the resulting training data to induce a predictive model for activity recognition. This work is significant because the activity recognition model permits us to gain useful knowledge about the habits of millions of users-just by having them carry cell phones in their pockets.

  • The database for driving patterns can be utilized in various system such as automatic driving system, driver safety system, and it can be helpful to monitor driving style. Therefore, we propose a driving pattern recognition system in which the sensor streams from a smartphone are recorded and used for recognizing driving events. In this paper we focus on the driving pattern recognition that is an essential and preliminary step of driving style recognition. We divide input sensor streams into 7 driving patterns such as, Left-turn(L), U-turn(U), Right-turn(R), Rapid-Braking(RB), Quick-Start(QS), Rapid-Acceleration (RA), Speed-Bump(SB). To classify driving patterns, first, a preprocessing step for data smoothing is followed by an event detection step. Last the detected events are classified by DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm. For assisting drivers we provide the classified pattern with the corresponding video stream which is recorded with its sensor stream. The proposed system will play an essential role in the safety driving system or driving monitoring system.

  • To understand whether Falling, which is one of the causes of injuries, occurs, various behavior recognition research is proceeding. However, in most research recognize only the fact that Falling has occurred and provide the service. As well as the occurrence of the Falling, the risk varies greatly based on the type of Falling and the situation before and after the Falling. Therefore, when Falling occurs, it is necessary to infer the user's current situation and provide appropriate services. In this paper, we propose to base on Fog Computing and Cloud Computing to design Context-aware System using analysis of behavior data and process sensor data in real-time. This system solved the problem of increase latency and server overload due to large capacity sensor data.
