최근 IT분야에서 주목받고 있는 부분은 정보가전분야이다. 특히, 홈오토메이션(HA Home Automation)에서 중심이 되는 시스템은 홈서버라 할 수 있다. 즉, 가정내에 홈서버가 설치되어 이를 중심으로 내부적으로는 정보가전기기들이 네트워킹되어 있고, 밖으로는 인터넷을 기본 통신 환경으로 구성되는 것이 현실이다. 이러한 환경에서 홈시큐리티 방면의 영상감시기능은 핵심분야 중 하나이다. 영상감시기능을 수행하고자 가정의 홈서버상에 영상감시 모듈이 탑재되어진다. 이때, 홈서버는 임베디드 시스템으로 Qplus라고 하는 임베디드 리눅스 계열의 운영체제를 기본으로 하며, 영상감시 모듈은 SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)기반으로 수행된다. SIP은 VoIP(Voice over IP) 분야의 핵심기술로 최근 많이 부각되어 널리 활용되고 있는 응용 계층의 시그널링 프로토콜이다. 한편, 영상코덱은 ITU-T의 H.261표준을 따르고 있으며, 이러한 영상감시기능은 홈서버 뿐만 아니라, PDA와 같은 핸드헬드 장치를 통해서도 제공된다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 영상가미 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해 기술하고 있다.

Many building foundations are embedded, however it is not easy to compact the backfill around the foundation especially for the deeply embedded ones. The soil condition around the embedded foundation may affect the seismic response of a building due to the weak contact between the soil and the foundation. In this paper, the response accelerations in the short-period range and at the period of 1 second (in the long-period range) for a seismic design spectrum specified in the IBC design code were compared considering perfect and poor backfills to investigate the effect of backfill compaction around the embedded foundation. An in-house finite-element software (P3DASS) which has the capability of horizontal pseudo-3D seismic analysis with linear soil layers was used to perform the seismic analyses of the structure-soil system with an embedded foundation. Seismic analyses were carried out with 7 bedrock earthquake records provided by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), scaling the peak ground accelerations to 0.1 g. The results indicate that the poor backfill is not detrimental to the seismic response of a building, if the foundation is not embedded deeply in the soft soil. However, it is necessary to perform the seismic analysis for the structure-soil system embedded deeply in the soft soil to check the seismic resonance due to the soft soil layer beneath the foundation, and to compact the backfill as well as possible.

This paper proposes a multi-core cooperative computing structure considering the heterogeneous features of automotive embedded on-chip software. The automotive embedded software has the heterogeneous execution flow properties for various hardware drives. Software developed with a homogeneous execution flow without considering these properties will incur inefficient overhead due to core latency and load. The proposed method was evaluated on an target board on which a automotive MCU (micro-controller unit) with built-in multi-cores was mounted. We demonstrate an overhead reduction when software including common embedded system tasks, such as ADC sampling, DSP operations, and communication interfaces, are implemented in a heterogeneous execution flow. When we used the proposed method, embedded software was able to take advantage of idle states that occur between heterogeneous tasks to make efficient use of the resources on the board. As a result of the experiments, the power consumption of the board decreased by 42.11% compared to the baseline. Furthermore, the time required to process the same amount of sampling data was reduced by 27.09%. Experimental results validate the efficiency of the proposed multi-core cooperative heterogeneous embedded software execution technique.

In this paper, we parallelize the popular feature detection algorithms, i.e. SIFT and SURF, and its application to fast panoramic image generation on the latest embedded GPU. Parallelized algorithms are implemented using recently developed OpenCL as the embedded GPGPU software platform. We compare the implementation efficiency and speed performance of conventional OpenGL Shading Language and OpenCL. Experimental result shows that implementation on OpenCL has comparable performance with GLSL. Compared with the performance on the embedded CPU in the same application processor, the embedded GPU runs 3~4 times faster. As an example of using feature extraction, panorama image synthesis is performed on embedded GPU by applying image matching using detected features.

Embedded control system is widely spreaded and used in various fields including military defence, aviation, medical, etc. due to extended use of smart phones, connected car, IoT. Increasing examples are introduced where embedded control system that perform their unique role such as smart phone and network system organically configure to create new system. According to this trend, organic interface and reliability of each embedded control system are becoming important evaluation factors. The purpose of this paper is to develop quality evaluation criteria method for automobile embedded system, among the fields that use embedded control systems. In order to satisfy high quality level requirements of automobile embedded control system, we surveyed latest trend of automobile embedded control system, analyzed structure and application technology of embedded control system, to establish quality evaluation criteria and method for automobile embedded control system by referring international standard for software (ISO/IEC 9126), and international standard for electric & electronic products (ISO 26262).

The embedded system can be defined as a special purpose system with a built-in computer, and has a wide variety of applications such as home appliances, office equipment, and weapon systems. A well-defined taxonomy in a specific field is advantageous for learning and education, however, the classification scheme for embedded systems is difficult to find. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for embedded systems. First, the generalized structure of the embedded system was presented. And, it is divided into two parts: "firmware based" and "embedded OS based". In addition, according to the characteristics of embedded system applications, it is divided into two categories: "non-dependable" application and "dependable" application, which makes 4 planes. We describe the features of each quadrant and show that the classification is well suited by showing examples. Our taxonomy can be used to set teaching and learning methods of embedded systems.

Recently ARM processor's processing power has been increasing rapidly as it has been applied to consumer electronics products. Because of its computing power and low power consumption, it is used to various embedded systems.( including vision processing systems.) Embedded linux that provides well-made platform and GUI is also a powerful tool for ARM based embedded systems. So short period to develop is one of major advantages to the ARM based embedded system. However, for real-time date processing applications such as an image processing system, ARM needs additional equipments such as FPGA that is suitable to parallel processing applications. In this paper, we developed an embedded system using ARM processor and FPGA. FPGA takes time consuming image preprocessing and numerical algorithms needs floating point arithmetic and user interface are implemented using the ARM processor. Overall processing speed of the system is 60 frames/sec of VGA images.

We develop an embedded system to measure various sensor data, control multiple motors, and communicate with mobile devices for system managements. Choosing TI AM3359 microprocessor featuring high processing performance, low power consumption, and various I/O device support, we design and build the embedded system hardware so that it supports multiple global positioning system (GPS) and gyro sensor modules to measure precise position; multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs to control multiple direct current (DC) motors; a Bluetooth module to communicate with mobile devices. Then, we port the boot loader and device drivers to the built circuit board and construct the firmware development environment for the application programming. The performance of the designed and implemented embedded system is demonstrated by real motor control test using GPS and gyro sensor data and control parameters configured by a mobile device.

Reliability of embedded softwares, as one of factors which affect system reliability, is the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment. and Embedded software is different from general package software because hardware and operating system are tightly coupled to each other. Reliability evaluation models for embedded softwares currently used do not separate estimation and prediction models clearly, and even a standard model has not been proposed yet. In this respect, we choose a reliability estimation model suitable for embedded softwares among software evaluation models being used, and modified the model so as to accomodate recent software environments. In addtion, based on the model, the web-based reliability prediction tool RPX is developed. Finally, an embedded software is analyzed using the tool.
