The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between spatial-erceptual ability and several aspects of driving-related situation awareness(in particular, recognition and prediction). Video clips of real driving were used in both recognition and prediction tasks, and the digit calculation task during driving the simulator was required as the integration task of recognition and prediction. The results showed that the subjects of higher spatial-perceptual ability performed better in recognition task, especially in terms of sensitivity measured in d'(as signal detection theory), prediction task, and digits calculation performance than those of lower spatial-perceptual ability.

Robots need to understand as much as possible about their environmental situation and react appropriately to any event that provokes changes in their behavior. In this paper, we pay attention to topological relations between spatial objects and propose a model of robotic cognition that represents and infers temporal relations. Specifically, the proposed model extracts specified features of the cooccurrence matrix represents from disparity images of the stereo vision system. More importantly, a habituation model is used to infer intrinsic spatial relations between objects. A preliminary experimental investigation is carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method under real test condition.

The road name address system has been in effect in Korea since 2012. However, the existing address system is still being used in many fields because of the difference between the spatial awareness of people and the road name address system. For the spatial awareness based on the road name address system, various spatial datasets in daily life should be referenced by the road names. The goal of this paper is to link the road name address system with the wayfinding process, which is closely related to the spatial awareness. To achieve our goal, we designed and implemented a geometric matching method for spatial data sets. This method generates network neighborhoods from road objects in the 'road name address map' and the 'pedestrian network data'. Then it computes the geometric similarities between the neighborhoods to identify corresponding road name for each object in the network data. The performance by F0.5 was assessed at 0.936 and it was improved to 0.978 by the manual check for 10% of the test data selected by the similarity. By help of our method, the road name address system can be utilized in the wayfinding services, and further in the spatial awareness of people.

This study was carried out to analyze moving awareness of students to physical conditions and attitudes on user's place to moving route. Moving awareness and route choice of students on variation type were grasped through questionnaire. As the results, the satisfaction degree, moving awareness and elapsed time for adaptation of students to physical facilities associated with moving class were antithetical to numbers of class and student. The more students, the more negative the moving itself. Especially, students showed a different tendency to route choice of high frequency moving and possession awareness of their belongings according to spatial nearness and composition of homebase. These basic data will be utilizable to suggest various model for composition and rearrangement of school space.

Due to the rapid advance in web and mobile computing technologies, normal users have become to produce, provide, and share a varied form of spatial data and information. In the domain of spatial information, numerous researches on GIS have been conducted to provide spatial information services based on a geo-sensor network and a data integration and processing technology. However, to provide user-oriented information, a context information model is necessary to associate GIS data with web and sensor data. Context awareness services is designed to provide specific information, minimizing users' interference. For which, the context information model expresses the relationship of various data from sensor networks and mobile applications and provides a user-specific information considering location and area of interest. Thus, this research aims to develops a context information model based air-pollution information system that obtains and analyses air pollution data and reflects the analysis results on an air-pollution policy. Also, this system aims to raise citizens' awareness on air-pollution and to promote citizens' participatory to improve city's air quality.

Some context is characterized by a single event in computing environment, but many other contexts are determined by a lot of things which occur with a space and a time. The Realtime Sensor Network context-awareness service that interacts with the physical space can have property such as time. A methodology that is specified the relationship between the contexts and the service needs to be developed to Realtime context-awareness deal with spatio-temporal. In this paper, we propose an approach which should include spatio-temporal property in the context model, and verify its effectiveness using enhanced Petri-Net. The context-awareness service modeling of Realtime Sensor Network is discussed the properties of model such as basic Petri-Net, patterned Petri-Net, or Spatio-temporal Petri-Net. The proposed methodology demonstrated using an example that is SAEMANGUEM warming watching system. The use of Spatio-temporal Petri-Net will contribute not only to develop the application but also to model the spatio-temporal context awareness.

Context-awareness techniques in ubiquitous computing environment provide various services to users who need to get information via the analysis of collected information from sensors in a spatial area. Context-awareness has been increased in ubiquitous computing and is applied to many different applications such as disaster management system, intelligent robot system, transportation management system, shopping management system, and digital home service. Many researches have recently focused on services that provide the appropriate information, which are collected from Internet by different kinds of sensors, to users according to context of their surrounding environment. In this paper, we propose an abstraction model to manage the large-scale contextual information and their metadata which are collected from different kinds of in-situ sensors in a spatial area and are presented them on the web. This model is composed of the modules expressing functional elements of sensors using sensorML(Sensor Model Language) based on XML language and the modules managing contextual information, which is transmitted from the sensors.

Solutions of many landscape problems depend on area-wide assessment and interpretation of spatial and physical characteristics over the study area. The authors argue that the public awareness for an area-wide urban landscape appears to be very low due to limited chance to the information. Acknowledging these constraints, an operational, user-friendly information system has been developed by combining internet technology with GIS. In particular, integration among satellite data and digital maps takes advantage of each component, and enables the landscape structure to be visualized, interacted with and deployed all on the Web. The 1m resolution IKONOS data realistically identified the major type of landscape by large scale spatial precision while TM data revealed successfully the major parameters that influence an area-wide spatial structure in the study area. This system would play a crucial role in improving the public awareness for area-wide landscape information if it is operationally introduced into the Government since the highly user-friendly interface based on image maps provides a completely new means for disseminating information for area-wide landscape in a visual and interactive manner to the general public.
