  • Effective communicable disease surveillance systems are the basis of the national disease prevention and control. Following the increase in emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases since late 1990s, the Korean government has strived to enhance surveillance and response system. Since 2000, sentinel surveillance, such as influenza sentinel surveillance, pediatric sentinel surveillance, school-based sentinel surveillance and ophthalmological sentinel surveillance, was introduced to improve the surveillance activities. Electronic reporting system was developed in 2000, enabling the establishment of national database of reported cases. Disweb, a portal for sharing communicable disease information with the public and health care workers, was developed. In general, the survey results on usefulness and attributes of the system, such as simplicity, flexibility, acceptability, sensitivity, timeliness, and representa-tiveness, received relatively high recognition. Compared to the number of paid cases of national health insurance, reported cases by national notifiable disease surveillance system, and various sentinel surveillance system, the result of the correlation analysis was high. According to the research project conducted by KCDC, the reporting rate of physicians in 2004 has also greatly improved, compared with that in 1990s. However, continuous efforts are needed to further improve the communicable disease surveillance system. Awareness of physicians on communicable disease surveillance system must be improved by conducting education and information campaigns on a continuous basis. We should also devise means for efficient use of various administrative data including cause of death statistics and health insurance. In addition, efficiency of the system must be improved by linking data from various surveillance system.

  • In the smart intelligence information society, there is a possibility that the social dysfunction such as the personal information protection issue and the risk to the electronic surveillance society may be highlighted. In this paper, we refer to various categories and classify electronic surveillance into audio surveillance, visual surveillance, location surveillance, biometric information surveillance, and data surveillance. In order to respond to new electronic surveillance in the intelligent information society, it requires a change of perception that is different from that of the past. This starts with the importance of digital privacy and results in the right to self-determination of personal information. Therefore, in order to preemptively respond to the dysfunctions that may arise in the intelligent information society, it is necessary to further raise the awareness of the civil society to protect information human rights.

  • Wireless Sensor Networks will revolutionize applications such as environmental monitoring, home automation, and logistics. We developed forest fire surveillance system. In this paper, Considering the fact that in Korea, during November to May, forest fires occur very frequently causing catastrophic damages on the valuable environment, Although exists other forest fire surveillance system such as surveillance camera tower, infrared ray sensor system and satellite system. Preexistence surveillance system can't real-time surveillance, monitoring, database and automatic alarm. But, forest fire surveillance system(FFSS) support above. In this paper, we describes a system development approach for a wireless sensor network based FFSS that is to be used to measure temperature and humidity as well as being fitted with a smoke detector. Such a device can be used as an early warning fire detection system and real-time surveillance in the area of a bush fire or endangered public infrastructure. Once the system has being development, a mesh network topology will be implemented with the chosen sensor node with the aim of developing a sophisticated mesh network.

  • The ICAO AMO global recognition system will be instituted in 2024, with the aim of reducing the certification and surveillance burden on aviation authorities and approved maintenance organizations (AMOs). If the domestic AMO certification and surveillance system is internationally recognized through this system, it may facilitate the rapid development of the domestic MRO industry in South Korea. To ensure international recognition of the domestic AMO system, the AMO surveillance and regulation system must be improved. This study reviewed ICAO policies, standards, guidelines, and leading aviation authorities' regulations and systems with regard to maintenance organization certification and surveillance, and a comparative analysis with the domestic system was conducted. From this, gaps in aviation safety inspection personnel training, qualification, and surveillance were identified, and measures for improving inspection personnel training and organization certification and surveillance system maintenance were elucidated to preemptively respond to the ICAO AMO global recognition system.

  • The purpose of establishing the circulatory disease surveillance system in Korea is to ensure that the problems of circulatory disease importance are being monitored efficiently and effectively. The goals of circulatory disease surveillance system are to monitor the epidemiological trends of circulatory disease and to evaluate the outcome of health activity for controlling circulatory diseases. Surveillance system are being updated to achieve the needs for the integration of the surveillance and information system, the establishment of data standards, the electronic exchange of data, and changes in the goals of circulatory disease surveillance system to facilitate the response of this system to manage the national health problem effectively. This article provides the target diseases and determinant indicators to be monitored, structure of circulatory disease surveillance system, and many tasks and related activities that should be applied to this system.

  • The surveillance system for urban transit now adapt the newest IT technology. The Surveillance system analyzes the video information from various cameras intelligently and determines the critical status automatically. Other sensors, for example fire sensor and audio sensor are used in the surveillance system for increasing the correctness of surveillance. The surveillance system tries to increase the performance of surveillance by gathering lots of information for the current situation and analyzing them intelligently. IP-Based Integrated system needs the distributed computer system with location and functions. For correctly running this system, a distributed software is needed. In this paper, we study the distributed software for IP-based integrated surveillance system. The required functions, safety and extendability are suggested.

  • The surveillance camera market has developed and plays an important role in the field of video surveillance. However, in recent years, the identification of areas requiring surveillance has been limited by reflective light in the surveillance camera market. Cameras using polarization filters are being developed to reduce reflective light and facilitate identification. Programs are required to automatically adjust polarization filters. In this paper, we proposed an optimal angle extraction method from surveillance cameras using polarization filters through histogram analysis. First of all, transformed to grayscale to analyze the specifications of frames in multiple polarized angle images, reducing computational throughput. Then we generated and analyzed a histogram of the corresponding frame to extract the angle when the highlights are the fewest. Experiments with 0˚ and 90˚ showed high performance in extracting optimal angles. At this point, it is hoped this technology would be used for surveillance cameras in place like beach with a lot of reflective light.

  • Security control using surveillance cameras is established when people observe all surveillance videos directly. However, this task is labor-intensive and it is difficult to detect all abnormal situations. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network model, called AT-Net, that automatically detects abnormal situations in the surveillance video, and introduces an automatic video surveillance system developed based on this network model. In particular, AT-Net alleviates the ambiguity of existing abnormal situation detection methods by mapping features representing relationships between people and objects in surveillance video to the new tensor structure based on sparse coding. Through experiments on actual surveillance videos, AT-Net achieved an F1-score of about 89%, and improved abnormal situation detection performance by more than 25% compared to existing methods.
