In this study, we introduce a system for real-time monitoring of field conditions within an industrial complex using a 5G network UAV (: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). When a monitoring event occurs in a sensor mounted on a UAV (detection of fire, harmful gas, or industrial disaster type human accident), key information from the sensor is transmitted to the UAS (: Unmanned Aerial System) application server. As a result of this information transmission and processing, managers or operators of the Industrial Complex Corporation were able to secure legal basis data for fatal accidents, fires, and detection of harmful gases at sites within the Industrial Complex Corporation through trigger processing for each accident risk situation.

Linear wireless sensor networks typically construct a network topology with a high reliability through sequential 1:1 mapping among sensor nodes, so that they are used in various surveillance applications of major national infrastructures. Most existing techniques for identifying sensor nodes in those networks are using GPS, AOA, and RSSI mechanisms. However, GPS or AOA based node identification techniques affect the size or production cost of the nodes so that it is not easy to construct practical sensor networks. RSSI based techniques may have a high deviation regrading location identification according to propagation environments and equipment quality so that complexity of error correction algorithm may increase. We propose a timestamps based sequential localization algorithm that uses transmit and receive timestamps in a message between sensor nodes without using GPS, AOA, and RSSI techniques. The algorithms for distance measurement between each node are expected to measure distance within up to 1 meter in case of an crystal oscillator of 300MHz or more.

There are various polluting emissions related to the air quality such as $NO_x$, $CO_2$, CO, VOCs, $O_3$, $SO_2$, $CH_4$, $H_2S$, $NH_3$, etc. We need the system that reduces emission of these environment gases and detects risk factors in modern society. Therefore, if we use the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology and a MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) Quad Rotor which can be hovering and moving free for setting up the environment gas sensing system, the realtime measurement on environment gases is facilitated and by extension, in application of traffic watchdog, forest fire surveillance and counter-terrorism efforts, we anticipate making better use of a Quad Rotor.

The security issue in urban transit system has been widely considered as the common matters after the fire accident at Daegu subway station. The safe urban transit system is highly demanded because of the vast number of daily passengers, and it is one of the most challenging projects. We introduced a test model for integrated security system for urban transit system and built it at a subway station to demonstrate its performance. This system consists of cameras, sensor network and central monitoring software. We described the smart camera functionality in more detail. The proposed smart camera includes the moving objects recognition module, video analytics, video encoder and server module that transmits video and audio information.

In tactical theater, it is crucial to detect ground moving targets and to locate them precisely. This problem can be resolved by using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors providing GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) capability. In general, to implement a robust GMTI sensor is not simple because of the strong competitions between target signals and clutter signals on the ground, and low speed of moving targets. Contrary to the case that a delay canceller is mostly suitable for ground surveillance radars, DPCA (Displaced Phase Centered Antenna) or STAP (Space Time Adaptive Processing) techniques have been adapted for GMT! function of modem airborne radars. In this paper, anew scheme of DPCA using two passive antennas with vertical separation is proposed, which also provides good clutter cancellation performance. The proposed scheme enables us to scan straight ahead of the carrying platform that is impossible with typical DPCA configuration. Simulations using various conditions have been performed to validate the proposed scheme, and the results are acceptable.

The Intelligent Space(ISpace) provides challenging research fields for surveillance, human-computer interfacing, networked camera conferencing, industrial monitoring or service and training applications. ISpace is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. And the article presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. Particle filters provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. We propose to track the moving objects by generating hypotheses not in the image plan but on the top-view reconstruction of the scene. Comparative results on real video sequences show the advantage of our method for multi-object tracking. Also, the method is applied to the intelligent environment and its performance is verified by the experiments.

본 논문에서는 홈 헬스케어 환경에서 위험 동작이 발생할 경우 이를 검지하는 방법으로, 물체 검출을 위해 입력받은 영상으로 부터 배경모델을 생성하여 이를 이용해 관심 물체를 검출한다. 검출된 물체 영역 내에서 중심점의 주변 탐색을 통해 관심 물체를 추적하며, 관심 물체의 모멘트 분석 정보와 깊이 정보를 활용하여 정상 동작이 아닌 낙상과 같은 비정상적인 위험 동작이 발생되었을 경우 검출할 수 있다. 기존 비전 센서 기반 방법들은 2차원 영상 정보를 이용하기 때문에 다양한 낙상 동작에 대해 낮은 검출율을 보이고 있다. 이에 대한 개선책으로 깊이정보를 활용하여 검출함으로써 신뢰성있는 검출율을 보여주는 실시간 비전 센서 기반을 둔 위험 낙상 검출기를 제안한다.

A coaxial rotor flying robot is developed for surveying and reconnoitering various circumstances under calamity environment. The robot has two contrarotating rotors on a common axis, an embedded microcontroller, an IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), an IR sensor for height control, a micro camera for surveillance, ultrasonic position sensors and wireless communication devices. A bell-bar mounted on the top of the upper rotor hub increases stability and improves flight performance. In this paper, we present a dynamic model of a coaxial rotor flying robot and design an embedded controller far the robot, and implement them to control the developed flying robot. Experimental results show that the proposed controller is valid for autonomous hovering and position control.

무선센서네트워크 기술은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에서 정보전달을 위한 중요한 매개체가 되는 등 그 중요성이 점점 더 커지고 있다. 그런 무선센서네트워크에 이미지처리능력을 추가하면 사용자가 이용할 수 있는 좀 더 다양한 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 그 중 재산 보호를 위한 감시시스템의 관심이 커지고 있고 이에 관련된 몇몇 연구들이 진행되어오고 있다. 몇몇 연구에서 카메라 네트워크 망에서 발견된 객체를 연속적으로 추적을 하지만 카메라와 서버간 직접적인 통신을 통해 다량의 정보를 주고 받기에 Ad-hoc 무선망을 사용하는 방식에서는 적합하지 않다. 또 다른 방면으로는 타겟 추적에 time critical한 방법들을 쓰고 있기에 시간 동기화를 위한 추가적인 프로토콜의 사용이 필요해진다. 본 연구에서는 다중 카메라에서 관계자와 비관계자를 명확히 구분해서 관계자를 제대로 추적함으로써 비관계자 인원이 감시구역에 접근하는 행동을 방지하고 노드간의 시간 동기화 의존도를 줄이기 위한 방법을 제시한다.
