As the number of single-person households increases, it is not easy to ask for help alone if a single-person household is severely injured in the home. This paper detects abnormal event when members of a single household in the home are seriously injured. It proposes an vision detection algorithm that analyzes and recognizes patterns through videos that are collected based on home CCTV. And proposes audio detection algorithms that analyze and recognize patterns of sound that occur in households based on Smartphones. If only each algorithm is used, shortcomings exist and it is difficult to detect situations such as serious injuries in a wide area. So I propose a fusion method that effectively combines the two algorithms. The performance of the detection algorithm and the precise detection performance of the proposed fusion method were evaluated, respectively.

In this paper, we proposed a novel method for automatic detection for snoring and heart beat using a single piezoelectric sensor. For this study multi-rate signal processing technique was applied to detect snoring and heart beat from the single source signal. The sound event duration and intensity features were used to snore detection and heart beat was found by autocorrelation. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated on clinical database, which is the nocturnal piezoelectric snoring data of 30 patients that suffered obstructive sleep apnea. The method achieved sensitivity of 88.6%, specificity of 96.1% with accuracy of 95.6% for snoring and sensitivity of 94.1% and positive predictive value of 87.6% for heart beat, respectively. These results suggest that the proposed method can be a useful tool in sleep monitoring and sleep disordered breathing diagnosis.

이 논문에서는 가정내 음향 상황에 대한 사운드 이벤트 검출을 수행하는 시스템을 개발하는 내용을 담고 있다. 사운드 이벤트 검출 시스템은 마이크로폰 입력에 대해서 입력신호로부터 특징을 추출하고, 특징으로부터 이벤트가 있었는지 아닌지를 분류하는 형태를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 독립형 디바이스가 가정내 위치한 상황을 가정하여 개발을 진행하였다. 가정내에서 일어날 수 있는 음향 상황을 가정하고 데이터셋 녹음을 진행하였다. 데이터셋을 기반으로 특징과 분류기를 개발하였으며, 적은 계산량으로 결과를 출력해야 하는 독립형 디바이스에 활용하기 위해서 특징셋을 간소화하는 과정을 거쳤다. 개발결과는 가정의 거실환경에서 녹음된 소리를 스피커로 출력하여 테스트하였으며, 다양한 음향 상황에 대한 개발이 추가적으로 필요하다.

In this paper, we propose a virtual violin implementation using the detection of bowing and finger dropping position from the estimated finger tip and finger board information with the 3D image data from a Kinect. Violin finger board pattern and depth information are extracted from the color image and depth image to detect the touch event on the violin finger board and to identify the touched position. Final decision of activated musical alphabet is carried out with the finger drop position and bowing information. Our virtual violin uses PC MIDI to output synthesized violin sound. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can detect finger drop position and bowing detection with high accuracy. Virtual violin can be utilized for the easy and convenient interface for a beginner to learn playing violin with the PC-based learning software.

Sleep apnea causes various secondary disease such as hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, depression and cognitive impairment. Early detection and continuous management of sleep apnea are urgently needed since it causes cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. In this study, wearable device for monitoring respiration during sleep using PVDF film was developed to detect vibration through trachea caused by breathing, which determines normal breathing and sleep apnea. Variables such as respiration rate and apnea were extracted based on the detected breathing sound data, and a noise reduction algorithm was established to minimize the effect even when there is a noise signal. In addition, it was confirmed that irregular breathing patterns can be analyzed by establishing a moving threshold algorithm. The results show that the accuracy of the respiratory rate from the developed device was 98.7% comparing with the polysomnogrphy result. Accuracy of detection for sleep apnea event was 92.6% and that of the sleep apnea duration was 94.0%. The results of this study will be of great help to the management of sleep disorders and confirmation of treatment by commercialization of wearable devices that can monitor sleep information easily and accurately at home during daily life and confirm the progress of treatment.
