This article describes the system architecture of KUVE (KIST Unmanned Vehicle Electric) and unmanned autonomous navigation of it in KIST. KUVE, which is an electric light-duty vehicle, is equipped with two laser range finders, a vision camera, a differential GPS system, an inertial measurement unit, odometers, and control computers for autonomous navigation. KUVE estimates and tracks the boundary of road such as curb and line using a laser range finder and a vision camera. It follows predetermined trajectory if there is no detectable boundary of road using the DGPS, IMU, and odometers. KUVE has over 80% of success rate of autonomous navigation in KIST.

It is necessary to apply a non-contact high-speed scanning system that can measure in real time in order to prevent the dropping and deformation of the main parts of railway vehicles during high-speed running. Recently, research on a scanning system that detects the deformation state of main parts from a video image taken using a high-performance camera has been actively pursued. In this study, we researched an analysis algorithm of a high-speed scanning system that uses a high-performance camera to monitor the deformation and drop-out state of the main components of the running units equipment in real time.

본 논문은 차량용 전방 카메라를 이용하여 근거리 옆 차선의 차량을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 근거리 옆 차선의 차량은 상대적 위치에 따라 형태의 변화가 심하기 때문에 기존의 방법들은 대부분 움직임 정보를 이용하여 근거리 옆 차선 차량을 검출한다. 그러나 이러한 움직임 정보에 기반한 방법들은 자가 차량을 앞지르는 차량만 검출할 수 있다는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방법은 움직임 정보를 사용하는 대신 근거리 옆 차선 차량이 존재하는 관심 영역의 특징을 이용한다. 이로 인해 근거리 옆 차선의 추월 차량 뿐 아니라 정지해 있거나 나란히 주행하는 차량들 또한 검출이 가능하다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법은 다양한 날씨 및 도로 환경에서 근거리 옆 차선 차량을 효과적으로 검출하였으며 실시간 처리 속도를 보여주었다.

Recently, as interest in self-driving cars has increased worldwide, research and development on the Advanced Driver Assist System is actively underway. Among them, the purpose of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is to minimize the driver's driving fatigue through the control of the vehicle's longitudinal speed and relative distance. In this study, for the research of the ACC test in the real environment, the real-road test was conducted based on domestic-road test scenario proposed in preceding study, considering ISO 15622 test method. In this case, the distance measurement method using the dual camera was verified by comparing and analyzing the result of using the dual camera and the result of using the measurement equipment. As a result of the comparison, two results could be derived. First, the relative distance after stabilizing the ACC was compared. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the minimum error rate was 0.251% in the first test of scenario 8 and the maximum error rate was 4.202% in the third test of scenario 9. Second, the result of the same time was compared. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the minimum error rate was 0.000% in the second test of scenario 10 and the maximum error rate was 9.945% in the second test of scenario 1. However, the average error rate for all scenarios was within 3%. It was determined that the representative cause of the maximum error occurred in the dual camera installed in the test vehicle. There were problems such as shaking caused by road surface vibration and air resistance during driving, changes in ambient brightness, and the process of focusing the video. Accordingly, it was determined that the result of calculating the distance to the preceding vehicle in the image where the problem occurred was incorrect. In the development stage of ADAS such as ACC, it is judged that only dual cameras can reduce the cost burden according to the above derivation of test results.

차량 번호판 인식 카메라는 차량 번호판 내 문자와 숫자의 인식을 위하여 대상 차량의 이미지 취득을 목적으로 하는 전용 카메라를 말하며 대부분 단독 사용보다는 서버와 영상 분석 모듈과 결합된 시스템의 일부로 적용된다. 그러나 차량 번호판 인식을 위한 시스템 구축을 위해서는 취득 영상 관리 및 분석 지원을 위한 서버와 문자, 숫자의 추출 및 인식을 위한 영상 분석 모듈을 함께 구성하여야 하므로 구축을 위한 설비가 필요하고 초기 비용이 많이 든다는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 카메라의 기능을 차량 번호판 인식에만 한정하지 않고 방범 기능을 함께 수행할 수 있도록 확장하고 카메라 단독으로도 두가지 기능 수행이 가능한 Edge Base의 임베디드형 융합 카메라를 개발한다. 임베디드형 융합 카메라는 선명한 영상 취득 및 빠른 데이터 전송을 위해 고해상도 4K IP 카메라를 탑재하고 오픈소스 신경망 알고리즘 기반의 다중 객체 인식을 위한 딥러닝 SW인 YOLO를 적용하여 차량 번호판 영역을 추출한 후 차량 번호판 내의 문자와 숫자를 검출하고 검출 정확도와 인식 정확도를 검증하여 CCTV 방범 기능과 차량 번호 인식 기능이 가능한지를 확인 하였다.

We have studied the port-automation system which is requested by the steep increment of cost and complexity for processing the freight. This paper will introduce a new algorithm for navigating and controlling the autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV). The camera has the optical distortion in nature and is sensitive to the external ray, the weather, and the shadow, but it is very cheap and flexible to make and construct the automation system for the port. So we tried to apply to the AGV for detecting and tracking the lane using the CCD camera. In order to make the error stable and exact, this paper proposes new concept and algorithm for obtaining the error is generated by the Virtual Photo-Sensor Array (VPSA). VPSAs are implemented by programming and very easy to use for the various autonomous systems. Because the load of the computation is light, the AGV utilizes the maximal performance of the CCD camera and enables the CPU to take multi-tasks. We experimented on the proposed algorithm using the mobile robot and confirmed the stable and exact performance for tracking the lane.

완전한 자율 주행에 이르기 위해서는 주변 환경을 인지하는 인지 능력이 사람보다 뛰어나야 한다. 자율 주행에서 주로 사용되는 $60^{\circ}$ 협각, $120^{\circ}$ 광각 카메라는 시야각에 따른 각각의 단점이 존재한다. 본 논문의 목적은 광각, 협각 카메라가 가진 각각의 단점을 극복하기 위하여, 다중화각 차량 전방 카메라 시스템을 이용하여 더 넓은 영역의 전방을 대상으로 더 정확히 객체를 인식할 수 있는 심층신경망 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 광각, 협각 카메라로 취득된 데이터의 종횡비를 분석해 SSD(Single Shot Detector) 알고리즘을 수정하였고, 취득된 데이터를 학습하여 단안 카메라만을 사용할 때 보다 높은 성능을 달성하였다.

In this paper, we introduce a system that detects all kinds of violations at a street intersection such as red light running, speed violation, stop line violation and lane violation by tracking individual vehicles. Two cameras are used for defecting violations. One is an analog camera for real-time tracking and the other is a digital camera for license plate reading. This system is connected to the traffic signal system controller and monitors the red, arrow, yellow and green phases of an approach. Two loops in the road are used to detect vehicle approach and speed. The system takes pictures of all vehicles passing a second loop and tracks the vehicles until they go out a street intersection...

In this paper, we describe an image processing algorithm which is able to recognize the road lane. This algorithm performs to recognize the interrelation between AGV and the other vehicle. We experimented on AGV driving test with color CCD camera which is setup on the top of vehicle and acquires the digital signal. This paper is composed of two parts. One is image preprocessing part to measure the condition of the lane and vehicle. This finds the information of lines using RGB ratio cutting algorithm, the edge detection and Hough transform. The other obtains the situation of other vehicles using the image processing and viewport. At first, 2 dimension image information derived from vision sensor is interpreted to the 3 dimension information by the angle and position of the CCD camera. Through these processes, if vehicle knows the driving conditions which are angle, distance error and real position of other vehicles, we should calculate the reference steering angle.

This paper presents the latest Ethernet standardization of in-vehicle network and the future trends of automotive Ethernet technology. The proposed system provides design and optimization algorithms for automotive networking technology related to AVB (Audio Video Bridge) technology. We present a design of in-vehicle network system as well as the optimization of AVB for automotive. A proposal of Reduced Latency of Machine to Machine (RLMM) plays an outstanding role in reducing the latency among devices. RLMM's approach to real-world experimental cases indicates a reduction in latency of around 41.2%. The setup optimized for the automotive network environment is expected to significantly reduce the time in the development and design process. The results obtained in the study of image transmission latency are trustworthy because average values were collected over a long period of time. It is necessary to analyze a latency between multimedia devices within limited time which will be of considerable benefit to the industry. Furthermore, the proposed reliable camera and video streaming through optimized AVB device settings would provide a high level of support in the real-time comprehension and analysis of images with AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms in autonomous driving.
