In the past several years there has been increasing the studies using ubiquitous technology as the base technology of IT-convergence. The cooltown, one of the ubiquitous projects, is based on the web technology and the mobile environment. However, in the cooltown system, users only get a pre-made web-page. In this paper, we propose the algorithm improved usability applying the context-awareness based on the sensor network. In this paper, we can provide a custom tailored service overlooked in the existing system from this.

A road recognition system or Lane departure warning system is an early stage technology that has been commercialized as early as 10 years but can be optional and used as an expensive premium vehicle, with a very small number of users. Since the system installed on a vehicle should not be error prone and operate reliably, the introduction of robust feature extraction and tracking techniques requires the development of algorithms that can provide reliable information. In this paper, we investigate and analyze various real-time road detection algorithms based on color information. Through these analyses, we would like to suggest the algorithms that are actually applicable.

We propose a novel multi-photodiode array (MPDA) based retinal implant IC with on/off stimulation strategy for a visual prosthesis with improved spatial resolution. An active pixel sensor combined with a comparator enables generation of biphasic current pulses when light intensity meets a threshold condition. The threshold is tuned by changing the discharging time of the active pixel sensor for various light intensity environments. A prototype of the 30-channel retinal implant IC was fabricated with a unit pixel area of $0.021mm^2$, and the stimulus level up to $354{\mu}A$ was measured with the threshold ranging from 400 lx to 13120 lx.

This paper presents an PID type fuzzy based method for nohnear engine idle controller The output is a duty cycle(DC) for driving a idle speed cont개l valve(1SCV). For precise control of SI engine, the CPS sensor and coolant temperature are used. Visual C* language is used to make simulation panel for the fast and precise idle speed control. The dSPACE board and supported Control desk program is used in experiment ta the same purpose as simulation. The experimental results have a good agreement with simulation ones.

When one sensor cannot provide information by sensory deficit or loss, the sensory information can be provided by substituting other sensors for the defected sensor. This sensory substation might be influence on the deteriorated motion perception that consists of multi-sensory information such as visual, vestibular and somatosensory information. In this study, to investigate whether the additional sensation by sensory substitution could be integrated into the motion perception, we examined the effect of substituted postural sway sensation on the directional perception of body movement. Deteriorated motion perception by the reduced plantar sensation was enhanced under sensory substitution condition that provided the body sway information as the plantar vibratory stimulus. These results imply that the additional sensation might be integrated into and improve the motion perception.

When a fire happens in builds or apartments, peoples are tend to be caught in dangerous situations owing to the failure of searching escape route to the outside. In this work, an efficient fire detection and alarm system which makes it possible for the escapers to take adequate actions is proposed. The proposed system consists of two parts. One is fire detection modules which are located at each compartments in a building. The other is fire warning modules equipped with portable flashes having ability of visual/voice warning. Fire detection information is transmitted between each modules wirelessly. In this work, an efficient communication protocol for sensor network-based fire detection system is proposed and its feasibility is verified by practical experiments using MANGO ZDK Development tools

The visual sensing of human hands plays an important part in many man-machine interaction/interface systems. Most existing visionbased hand detection techniques depend on the color cues of human skin. The RGB color image from a vision sensor is often transformed to another color space as a preprocessing of hand detection because the color space transformation is assumed to increase the detection accuracy. However, the actual effect of color space transformation has not been well investigated in literature. This paper discusses a comparative evaluation of the pixel classification performance of hand skin detection in four widely used color spaces; RGB, YIQ, HSV, and normalized rgb. The experimental results indicate that using the normalized red-green color values is the most reliable under different backgrounds, lighting conditions, individuals, and hand postures. The nonlinear classification of pixel colors by the use of a multilayer neural network is also proposed to improve the detection accuracy.

In this paper, we propose the novel tracking method which uses the weighted discriminative correlation filter (DCF). We also propose the PSPR instead of conventional PSR as tracker performance evaluation method. The proposed tracking method uses multiple DCF to estimates the target position. In addition, our proposed method reflects more weights on the correlation response of the tracker which is expected to have more performance using PSPR. While existing multi-DCF-based tracker calculates the final correlation response by directly summing correlation responses from each tracker, the proposed method acquires the final correlation response by weighted combining of correlation responses from the selected trackers robust to given environment. Accordingly, the proposed method can provide high performance tracking in various and complex background compared to multi-DCF based tracker. Through a series of tracking experiments for various video data, the presented method showed better performance than a single feature-based tracker and also than a multi-DCF based tracker.

최근 네트워크 및 정보통신 기술의 발달로 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 환경이 구체화되면서 미래의 정보 기술 산업을 주도할 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(Ubiquitous Sensor Network : USN)가 주목받고 있다. 이러한 USN기반의 서비스는 각종 센서들로부터 인식된 데이터를 수집하고 이를 가공하여 사용자가 이해하기 쉽게 USN 자원에 대한 정보를 전달해야 한다. 그러나 USN자원에 대한 정보를 사용자가 이해하기 쉽도록 웹 상에서 시각적으로 표현하기 위한 연구는 보이지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 USN 데이터를 크게 센싱데이터와 메타데이터로 분류하고 이를 효과적으로 표현할 수 있는 시각적 요소들을 제안하였다. 그리고 사용자 질의에 대한 응답을 분석하여 각 응답 유형에 따라 시각적 요소를 효과적으로 조합하여 사용자가 쉽게 인지할 수 있는 웹 페이지를 설계 및 구현하였다.

In this paper, presented was the research work of finding practical application systems using IT that would be adopted by the next generation high speed train for the safety, convenience, and comfort of the passengers and crew members. Study on the applications using smart sensors and IT brought up 26 feasible application cases. Among them 16 cases were related with IT applications and 10 cases smart sensor applications. After having public hearings and surveys to make the decision more objective and generally acceptable, 7 applications - such as information providing service using personal LCD monitor, alarm service, individual internet access service, automatic and remote air conditioning, wireless visual communication with an attendant, extraordinary sound detection, urgent situation in toilet monitoring - out of those 26 were chosen as the final applications.
