As the supply of electric vehicles increases, research on wireless charging methods for convenience has been increasing. Because the electric vehicle wireless transmission device is installed on the ground and the electric vehicle battery is installed on the floor of the vehicle, the transmission and reception antennas are approximately 15-30 cm away, and thus strong magnetic fields are exposed during wireless charging. When a metallic foreign object is placed in the magnetic field area, an eddy current is induced to the metallic foreign object, and heat is generated, creating danger of fire and burns. Therefore, this study proposes a method to detect metallic foreign objects in the magnetic field area of a wireless electric vehicle charging system. An active detection-only coil array was used, and an LC resonance circuit was constructed for the frequency of the supply power signal. When a metallic foreign object is inserted into the charging zone, the characteristics of the resonance circuit are broken, and the magnitude and phase of the voltage signal at both ends of the capacitor are changed. It was confirmed that the proposed method has about 1.5 times more change than the method of comparing the voltage magnitude at one node.

본 연구는 고안전도 차량의 자율주행을 위해 필수적인 장애물 차량 탐지를 위한 시스템 개발에 관한 것이다. 먼저 칼만필터를 이용해 차량에 부착된 CCD 카메라에 의해서 획득한 전방 영상으로부터 주행차선의 경계를 탐지한다. 그리고 탐지된 경계의 회귀분석을 통해 차선을 인식한다. 다음으로 주행 방향을 인식하기 위해 탐지된 차선내의 도로 굴곡 파라미터를 오류 역전파 알고리즘의 입력값으로 사용한다. 마지막으로 전방과 측방에 탐지영역을 설정함으로써 탐지영역으로 들어오는 장애물 차량을 탐지할 수 있다. 제안한 방법으로 실험한 결과 주행방향 인식과 장애물 차량의 인식 모두 90% 이상의 높은 정확도를 보였다.

영상처리시스템(VIPS: Video Image Processing System)은 실시간으로 들어오는 영상정보를 분석하여 유용한 정보를 제공하며, 하나의 카메라로 여러 차로를 동시에 감시할 수 있는 알고리즘으로 교통량, 속도뿐만 아니라 밀도 및 점유율 등 다양한 정보를 제공한다. 영상검지시스템으로 상용화 제품은 Tripwire시스템으로 검지영역의 픽셀 변화량으로 차량검지를 하나, 이는 교통량, 속도 등 단편적인 정보에 국한될 수 밖에 없다. 반면, 영상검지시스템이 개별차량에 대한 추적시스템으로 개발할 경우 사고 및 차로 변경의 위험요소 감지 등 보다 다양한 정보를 제공할 수가 있다. 본 논문은 컴퓨터비전 기술을 이용하여 Tripwire에서 수집할 수 있는 교통정보와 동일한 정보를 제공하는 개별차량의 추적시스템을 개발하였으며 이 시스템을 실제 도로영상에 적용하여 상용화된 시스템과 결과를 비교함으로써 성능검증을 하였다.

This paper describes the improved environment recognition algorithms using some type of sensors like LiDAR and cameras. Additionally, integrated control algorithm for an autonomous vehicle is included. The integrated algorithm was based on C++ environment and supported the stability of the whole driving control algorithms. As to the improved vision algorithms, lane tracing and traffic sign recognition were mainly operated with three cameras. There are two algorithms developed for lane tracing, Improved Lane Tracing (ILT) and Histogram Extension (HIX). Two independent algorithms were combined into one algorithm - Enhanced Lane Tracing with Histogram Extension (ELIX). As for the enhanced traffic sign recognition algorithm, integrated Mutual Validation Procedure (MVP) by using three algorithms - Cascade, Reinforced DSIFT SVM and YOLO was developed. Comparing to the results for those, it is convincing that the precision of traffic sign recognition is substantially increased. With the LiDAR sensor, static and dynamic obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance algorithms were focused. Therefore, improved environment recognition algorithms, which are higher accuracy and faster processing speed than ones of the previous algorithms, were proposed. Moreover, by optimizing with integrated control algorithm, the memory issue of irregular system shutdown was prevented. Therefore, the maneuvering stability of the autonomous vehicle in severe environment were enhanced.

This paper presents an algorithm capable of detecting leading vehicles using a forward-looking camera. In fact, the accurate measurements of the contact locations of vehicles with road surface are prerequisites for the intelligent vehicle technologies based on a monocular vision. Relying on multistage processing of relevant edge features to the hypothesis generation of a vehicle, the proposed algorithm creates candidate positions being the left and right boundaries of vehicles, and searches for pairs to be vehicle boundaries from the potential positions by evaluating horizontal symmetry. The proposed algorithm is proven to be successful by experiments performed on images acquired by a moving vehicle.

This paper presents an effective method for detecting vehicles in front of the camera-assisted car during nighttime driving. The proposed method detects vehicles based on detecting vehicle headlights and taillights using techniques of image segmentation and clustering. First, in order to effectively extract spotlight of interest, a pre-signal-processing process based on camera lens filter and labeling method is applied on road-scene images. Second, to spatial clustering vehicle of detecting lamps, a grouping process use light tracking method and locating vehicle lighting patterns. For simulation, we are implemented through Da-vinci 7437 DSP board with visible light mono-camera and tested it in urban and rural roads. Through the test, classification performances are above 89% of precision rate and 94% of recall rate evaluated on real-time environment.

In this paper, we report detection and recognition of vehicle logo from images captured from street CCTV. Image data includes both the front and rear view of the vehicles. The proposed method is a two-step process which combines image preprocessing and faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) for logo recognition. Without preprocessing, faster R-CNN accuracy is high only if the image quality is good. The proposed system is focusing on street CCTV camera where image quality is different from a front facing camera. Using perspective transformation the top view images are transformed into front view images. In this system, the detection and accuracy are much higher as compared to the existing algorithm. As a result of the experiment, on day data the detection and recognition rate is improved by 2% and night data, detection rate improved by 14%.

The mine detection device is composed of a mine-detection sensor, and a 4 DOF manipulator enabling sensor position control. There are three modes that manage the mine detection device: passive, semi-automatic, and automatic. The automatic mode is used the most. This paper suggests a scanning method that makes shape of 8. This method prevents missing target area and enhances scanning speed when the mine detection device scans the ground surface in automatic mode. The suggested method is verified by simulations and experiments.

본 논문은 최근 물체탐지 분야에서 실시간 물체 탐지 알고리즘으로 주목을 받고 있는 YOLOv2(You Only Look Once) 알고리즘을 이용하여 밀집 영역에 주차되어 있는 자동차 탐지 방법을 제안한다. YOLO의 컨볼루션 네트워크는 전체 이미지에서 한 번의 평가를 통해서 직접적으로 경계박스들을 예측하고 각 클래스의 확률을 계산하고 물체 탐지 과정이 단일 네트워크이기 때문에 탐지 성능이 최적화 되며 빠르다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 기존의 슬라이딩 윈도우 접근법과 R-CNN 계열의 탐지 방법은 region proposal 방법을 사용하여 이미지 안에 가능성이 많은 경계박스를 생성하고 각 요소들을 따로 학습하기 때문에 최적화 및 실시간 적용에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 제안하는 연구는 YOLOv2 알고리즘을 적용하여 기존의 알고리즘이 가지고 있는 물체 탐지의 실시간 처리 문제점을 해결하여 실시간으로 지상에 있는 자동차를 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 연구 방법의 실험을 위하여 오픈소스로 제공되는 Darknet을 사용하였으며 GTX-1080ti 4개를 탑재한 Deep learning 서버를 이용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 YOLO를 활용한 자동차 탐지 방법은 기존의 알고리즘 보다 물체탐지에 대한 오버헤드를 감소 할 수 있었으며 실시간으로 지상에 존재하는 자동차를 탐지할 수 있었다.

Collision detection plays a key role in collision mitigation system. The malfunction of the collision mitigation system can result in another dangerous situation or unexpected feeling to driver and passenger. To prevent this situation, the collision time, offset, and collision decision should be determined from the appropriate collision detection algorithm. This study focuses on a method to determine the time to collision (TTC) and frontal offset (FO) between the ego vehicle and the target object. The path prediction method using the ego vehicle information is proposed to improve the accuracy of TTC and FO. The path prediction method utilizes the ego vehicle motion data for better prediction performance. The proposed algorithm is developed based on laser scanner. The performance of the proposed detection algorithm is validated in simulations and experiments.
