  • In this study, when another vehicle is parked in a designated space where a personal vehicle can park and a defined personal use time, an ultrasonic object recognition sensor is used to determine vehicle entry, and a camera sensor recognizes a license plate. If the vehicle is not recognized by the individual vehicle owner, the "private parking lot operation block" of the application server receives the individual phone number based on the National Police Agency's Vehicle Number Information Inquiry Open API. Afterwards, when parking is processed, the non-right holder receives the approval of the parking right holder, parks for the recognized time, and deposits the parking fee into the public account of the city hall. Through this study, it was possible to find an operation processing method that can most effectively manage parking in the city center in a private parking space recognized by the city hall.

  • Recently, agricultural methods are changing from experience-based agriculture to data-based agriculture. Changes in agricultural production due to the 4th Industrial Revolution are largely occurring in three areas: smart sensing and monitoring, smart analysis and planning, and smart control. In order to realize open-field smart agriculture, information on the physical and chemical properties of soil is essential. Conventional physicochemical measurements are conducted in a laboratory after collecting samples, which consumes a lot of cost, labor, and time, so they are quickly measured in the field. Measurement technology that can do this is urgently needed. In addition, a soil analysis system that can be carried and moved by the measurer and used in Korea's rice fields, fields, and facility houses is needed. To solve this problem, our goal is to develop and commercialize software that can collect soil samples and analyze the information. In this study, basic soil composition measurement was conducted using soil composition measurement sensors consisting of hardness measurement and electrode sensors. Through future research, we plan to develop a system that applies soil sampling using a CCD camera, ultrasonic sensor, and sampler. Therefore, we implemented a sensor and soil analysis UI that can measure and analyze the soil condition in real time, such as hardness measurement display using a load cell and moisture, PH, and EC measurement display using conductivity.

  • Inaccurate localization exposes a robot to many dangerous conditions. It could make a robot be moved to wrong direction or damaged by collision with surrounding obstacles. There are numerous approaches to self-localization, and there are different modalities as well (vision, laser range finders, ultrasonic sonars). Since sensor information is generally uncertain and contains noise, there are many researches to reduce the noise. But, the correctness is limited because most researches are based on statistical approach. The goal of our research is to measure more exact robot location by matching between built VRML 3D model and real vision image. To determine the position of mobile robot, landmark-localization technique has been applied. Landmarks are any detectable structure in the physical environment. Some use vertical lines, others use specially designed markers, In this paper, specially designed markers are used as landmarks. Given known focal length and a single image of three landmarks it is possible to compute the angular separation between the lines of sight of the landmarks. The image-processing and neural network pattern matching techniques are employed to recognize landmarks placed in a robot working environment. After self-localization, the 2D scene of the vision is overlaid with the VRML scene.

  • In this paper, we propose a medication reminder system using IoT platforms and products to help old adults keep track of their medication schedule, one of 10 Korean instrumental activities in daily living (K-IADL). An interworking architecture based on the oneM2M standard platform is designed to allow various IoT products to be connected each other through interworking proxy entities. A prototype system for the medication reminder service is developed, which consists of a pair of off-the-shelf pill bottle and container box embedded with an NFC tag and reader respectively, three types of actuators including a LIFX LED lightbulb, Musaic speaker, Microsoft Band 2, and smartphone applications. The experiment shows that our medication reminder system can make alarms for old adults to take their pills appropriately considering where they are and when they have food inferred from data collected from sensors including ultrasonic sensor and rice cooker, fostering them to keep their medication routine.

  • This paper presents the method for three-dimensional micro structure with photoresist spray coating system. The system consists of a high temperature rotational chuck, ultrasonic spray nozzle module, angle control module and nozzle moving module. Spray coating system is effected by several parameters such as the solid contents, the dispensed volume, the scanning speed of the spray nozzle and the wafer of dimension. The photoresist (AZ 1512) has been coated on the three-dimensional micro structure by spray coating system and the characteristics have been evaluated.

  • The spirometer is a medical device that measures the instantaneous velocity of the respiratory gas flow capacity. It is used for testing the condition of the lung and patient monitoring. It measures the absolute capacity difference that includes the flow capacity signal. In this paper, by using an ultrasound sensor that reduce+ the error caused by the inertia and pressure it has improved the transmission and receiving signal. This has enabled patients with weak respiratory to use the spirometer. Also, by using the ARM 920T Processor, a precise and prompt detection system was implemented.

  • 세굴을 일으키는 주요 원인은 와류의 작용에 의해서라고 알려져 있다. 와류를 일으키는 인자에는 흐름조건, 흐름의 변화, 하상재료, 그리고 교각의 형상 등이 있다. 그러나 세굴현상은 이들 인자 외에도 다른 원인들과 함께 복합적인 형태로 나타나기 때문에 수리 및 수치모형실험으로는 정확한 세굴을 규명하기 힘들다. 최근 국내에서는 보다 정확한 세굴을 관찰하기 위해 실시간 세굴모니터링이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 맞추어 실시간 세굴모니터링을 위해 초음파 세굴심 측정 센서가 개발되었는데, 이 센서는 수공구조물에 설치할 수 있어 평수 시뿐만 아니라 홍수 시에도 세굴의 변화를 관찰할 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 이 센서에 사용된 초음파는 반사면에 따라 반사파의 특성이 달라지는 성질을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 초음파의 성질에 착안하여 초음파 세굴심센서를 이용한 하상재료 판단에 대한 실내실험을 실시하였다. 주로 하상에서 접할 수 있는 입자를 선정하여 실험을 실시하고 실험으로부터 획득된 초음파의 반사파자료를 이용하여 각 시료를 분류할 수 있는 정량적 근거를 제시하였다. 그리고 이 자료의 현장적용성을 검토하기 위하여 현장의 자료와 비교 및 분석하였다.

  • In this paper, we propose hybrid navigation system, for obstacle detection and avoidance in Intelligent wheelchairs (IWs). To robustly detect obstacles and avoid them on various environments, hybrid navigation system combines both range-sensor and camera information. For this, 10 range-sensors (2 ultrasonic and 8 infra-red sensors) and CCD camera are used. Through processing the informations obtained from those sensors, our system can detect obstacles with various sizes and shapes, and then avoid them. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid navigation system, it was tested on complex environments including various obstacles, then the results showed the potential of our system as mobility aids for disabled people.

  • 우리나라 연근해 해역에서 발생하는 적조 현상은 매년 특정 시기에 끊임없이 나타나고, 그 피해액은 해를 거듭해갈 수록 증가하고 있다. 이러한 적조 발생을 조기에 탐지할 수 있는 것만으로도 그 피해는 상당히 줄어들 것이라고 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라 연근해 해역에서 발생하는 적조의 우점종 플랑크톤인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides를 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 C. polykrikoides 의 개체수 변화에 따른 후방산란신호를 획득하여 그 상관관계에 관한 실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 주파수는 5MHz, 10MHz 이고, 적조 주의보와 적조 경보에 해당하는 개체수인 300cell/mL, 1000cell/mL 을 중심으로 개체수를 변화하였다. 필터링 후의 해수와 Cochlodinium 이 있는 해수의 체적산란 패턴 변화뿐만 아니라 Cochlodinium 의 개체수 변화에 따른 산란 패턴의 변화를 볼 수 있었다.
