  • A performance delivers the contents and feeling through human bodies and stage settings in the limited space of a stage. Among the stage settings, the lighting creates overall atmospheres effectively according to the situations of the performance such as a time flow, a change of seasons, an expression of the mental state of the performer. As the LED lighting is used more widely, the number and the size of the lighting is being decreased, which makes it possible for various devices to be used. However, just as conventional lighting devices, most of them are fixed. So it is difficult to use them at a blind spot and to replace them. To solve this problem, this article suggests a system which replaces lighting automatically and moves. As it can moved to a spot we want on a rail, and the lighting system can be replaced by itself, it can have various lighting effects, increasing the effectiveness of the performance. Additionally, it can also decrease the danger of a worker operating the lighting device located at a high place. At the mock-up experiment, its mobility and stability on a rail were tested using the wheel of the Modular Robot.

  • Determination of sound source characteristics such as: sound volume, direction and distance to the source is one of the important techniques for unmanned systems like autonomous vehicles, robot systems and AI speakers. There are multiple methods of determining the direction and distance to the sound source, e.g., using a radar, a rider, an ultrasonic wave and a RF signal with a sound. These methods require the transmission of signals and cannot accurately identify sound sources generated in the obstructed region due to obstacles. In this paper, we have implemented and evaluated a method of detecting and identifying the sound in the audible frequency band by a method of recognizing the volume, direction, and distance to the sound source that is generated in the periphery including the invisible region. A cross-shaped based sound source recognition algorithm, which is mainly used for identifying a sound source, can measure the volume and locate the direction of the sound source, but the method has a problem with "blind spots". In addition, a serious limitation for this type of algorithm is lack of capability to determine the distance to the sound source. In order to overcome the limitations of this existing method, we propose a QRAS-based algorithm that uses rectangular-shaped technology. This method can determine the volume, direction, and distance to the sound source, which is an improvement over the cross-shaped based algorithm. The QRAS-based algorithm for the OSSD uses 6 AITDs derived from four microphones which are deployed in a rectangular-shaped configuration. The QRAS-based algorithm can solve existing problems of the cross-shaped based algorithms like blind spots, and it can determine the distance to the sound source. Experiments have demonstrated that the proposed QRAS-based algorithm for OSSD can reliably determine sound volume along with direction and distance to the sound source, which avoiding blind spots.

  • Both coordinated multi-point transmission and frequency reuse are effective approaches to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve network coverage. The motivation of this work is to explore the manner to effectively utilize the spectrum resource by reasonably combining cooperation and frequency reuse. The $Mat{\acute{e}}rn$ cluster process, which is appropriate to model networks with hot spots, is used to model the spatial distribution of base stations. Two cooperative mechanisms, coherent and non-coherent joint transmission (JT), are analyzed and compared. We also evaluate the effect of multiple antennas and imperfect channel state information. The simulation reveals that the proposed approach to combine cooperation and frequency reuse is effective to improve the network coverage for users located at both the center and the boundary of the cooperative region.

  • 현재 첨단기기를 활용한 많은 지능형 자동차 연구개발이 급속히 발전하고 있는 추세이다. 사전 기술은 운전자의 운전미숙 때문에 생긴 돌발 상황을 대처할 수 있는 기능을 갖춘 첨단 자동차 안전장치의 용도제한과 고비용으로 대중화 되지 못했다. 그러므로 안전장치의 개발은 미숙한 운전자들의 안전 운전을 위해 사각지대 감지 장치가 필요하다. 사각지대에 관련된 연구 동향으로써는 사각지대 거울에서부터 사각지대 충돌회피시스템 등 여러 가지의 특허들도 연구된 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 초음파센서와 서보모터 및 기타 LED장치를 사용하여 새로운 기술적 메커니즘을 제안했다. 사각지대를 감지하기 위한 초음파 센서의 적절한 위치를 설계하였고, 회로도를 설계하여 모형으로 사각지대 감지장치를 구성하였다. 성능을 검증하기 위한 실험에서는 이동하는 물체와 동일선상에서의 물체를 감지하는 두 가지 방법으로 사각지대 감지테스트를 완료 하였다.

  • 국내에서는 1975년부터 민방위 기본법을 재정하여 민방위 경보 서비스를 실시하고 있으며 인구 5천이상의 도심지역의 민방위 경보를 위해 중앙과 시도를 중심으로 구축된 민방위 경보시스템이 운영되고 있다. 그러나 기존 재난경보시설과의 연동이 부족함으로써 특히 도심지역에서는 건물로 인한 민방위 경보 사각지대가 발생하면서 민방위경보 수신의 한계를 갖게 되었다. 이에 본 본 논문에서는 도시 소음차단 방음시설이 잘된 도심지역의 대형빌딩이나 아파트 내부 등 옥내에서의 민방위경보 사각지대를 해소하는 방안을 중심으로 도심지역의 민방위경보 수신 커버리지를 확대하는 방안에 대해 고찰한다.

  • This paper interprets the work of Hans Bellmer, who took pictures after making a doll and distorting its form, and Diane Arbus, who took documentary photographs of unusual and marginalized people, as uncanny anxiety referred to by Freud. Through these two photographers' works, this paper examined how anxiety was used as an aesthetic strategy, and discussed the uncanny as an aesthetic experience. Uncanny refers to the phenomenon of familiar things being repressed and returning to their original place, or the phenomenon of familiarity being alienated due to repression. The aesthetic strategy of uncanny is used to bring a blind spot in reality that can be easily missed with an ordinary vision into the fore, by allowing for the slight shock to an appreciator. The ultimate goal of uncanny aesthetics is to promote both inner and external changes as well as to expand the scope of imagination, through freely crossing the borders between consciousness and unconsciousness, sympathy and antipathy, and reality and fiction.

  • In this study, we estimate the vehicle speed by analyzing the acoustic data recorded in a single microphone of a surveillance camera. The frequency analysis of the acoustic data corrects the Doppler effect, which is a characteristic of the moving sound source, and reflects the geometric relationship according to the location of the sound source and the microphone on the two-dimensional plane. The acoustic data is selected from the horn sound that is mainly observed in an urgent situation among various sound sources that may occur in a traffic accident, and the characteristics of the monotone source are considered. We verified the reliability of the proposed method by time domain acoustic analysis and actual vehicle evaluation. This method is effective and can be used for traffic accident analysis in the blind spot of the camera using a single microphone built into the existing surveillance camera.
