본 논문에서는 수화를 의사소통 수단으로 사용하는 청각 장애인이 일반인과 일상 대화를 할 수 있도록 도와주는 모바일 수화 인식 시스템을 다룬다. 개발된 시스템은 모자에 부착된 카메라와 손목에 착용한 가속도 센서를 통해 사용자의 수화 동작을 관찰하는데, 모바일 환경에서 실제 적용할 수 있도록 조명 변화에 둔감하고 실시간 처리가 가능하도록 개발하였다. 이를 위해 조명 변화에 강인한 손 영역 분할 방법을 제안하고 추출된 손 영역 정보를 히든 마르코프 모델의 입력으로 사용하여 연속적인 수화에 대해 99.07%의 단어 정확도를 얻었다.

Detection of abandoned objects for smart video surveillance should be robust and accurate in various situations with low computational costs. This paper presents a new algorithm for abandoned object detection based on the dual background model. Through the template registration of a candidate stationary object and presence authentication methods presented in this paper, we can handle some complex cases such as occlusions, illumination changes, long-term abandonment, and owner's re-attendance as well as general detection of abandoned objects. The proposed algorithm also analyzes video frames at specific intervals rather than consecutive video frames to reduce the computational overhead. For performance evaluation, we experimented with the algorithm using the well-known PETS2006, ABODA datasets, and our video dataset in a live streaming environment, which shows that the proposed algorithm works well in various situations.

Compared to general lighting method, the lighting system that uses optic fiber can provide only the visible light of good quality to subject by eliminating ultraviolet ray and infrared ray. Thanks to this merit, it is possible to prevent the hard phenomenon of subject caused by ultraviolet ray and infrared ray and to provide the agreeable light environment. This study developed indoors illumination system of high color rendering on the basis of plastic optic fiber with excellent optical property and processing to substitute halogen lamp which has been used for excellent color rendering in spite of low efficiency and short life. Producing pilot product of the designed illumination system and evaluating the property of electric and optical property, ultraviolet ray radiation quantity and temperature property, this study verified the excellence of suggested lighting system of plastic optic fiber.

We propose an image change detection algorithm implemented on sensor nodes of the ubiquitous sensor network(USN). The proposed algorithm was designed for the robust detection of image changes regardless of the continuously changing ambient illumination environment. Morphological lowpass filter was used for estimating the illumination component in order to reduce computational burden instead of the existing Gaussian lowpass filter. The decision of the change detection is based on the result of threshold of difference image between two consecutive images. We also propose a new thresholding method using precalculated histogram information. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the MSP430 16bit microprocessor.

When a mobile robot performs in unknown environments, a location identification is an essential task. In this paper, we propose a location identification system that uses a sensor space without additional devices on the robot. Also the sensor space consists of a matrix of CDS sensor; when a robot was positioned on the CDS sensor, we can estimate the coordinate of the location by sensing a light. Based on KS illumination standard, experiments are performed in various environments. By evaluating the experimental results, we can show that the proposed system can be applicable to the location identification system of a moving robot.

As tourist and cultural city, Chungju city struggles to exploit the new tourism resources including lighting scenic spots. This study aims to analyze the present lighting situations and suggest the alternatives for improving outdoor lightings of Hoamji Park - one of the most famous landmark in Chungju city. For the purpose, field surveys and experiments were performed on selected settings. Illumination levels were measured to compare with the KS standard by using MINOLTA T-10 instruments and some findings were discussed. As a result, some alternatives to improve the park's night images including new lighting concept, lighting fixtures and installations were suggested.

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of the light-shelf system combined with IT to save lighting energy in resident space. According to the multiple variables that affected intensity of illumination, various experiments were designed and conducted. The main findings of this study were following: (1)the optimal level of light-shelf system was formulated which met the appropriate range of intensity of illumination in living-room; (2)although the mixed light-shelf system indicated a high performance, it could often provide discomforts to residents according to the degree of exposure; (3)artificial lights using light-shelf system combined with IT showed a higher effectiveness than those using fixed light-shelf system displayed. This study provided initial information of light-shelf system formative processes that could contribute to the lighting energy diminution. Future studies should focus more on multiple approaches regarding different types of resident space planning.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that has been a main research topic of computer vision and artificial intelligence now extend its applications to detection of text area from video or image contents taken by camera devices and retrieval of text information from the area. This paper aims to implement a binarization algorithm that removes user intervention and provides robust performance to outdoor lights by using TopHat algorithm and channel transformation technique. In this study, we particularly concentrate on text information of outdoor signboards and validate our proposed technique using those data.

A low cost lighting system for line-scan cameras has been developed with 3-phase power. When exposure time of line-scan camera is shorter than fluctuation period of illumination, the average gray value of each acquired 1-D image varies. Detecting defects on the objects's surface under such illuminating environment is very difficult. The proposed lighting system is composed of low-cost fluorescent lights based on 3-phase power. The specially designed lighting pack and the properly selected lighting position enable to get the rippleless lighting. The principle of the proposed lighting system has been explained analytically. The lighting system has been tested for fabric inspection with line-scan camera and it's efficacy has been proved.

기존 상업용빌딩은 실내 시환경 개선의 필요성이 중시됨에 따라서 자연채광과 인공조명을 겸용하는 천장형태에 따른 조명제어 방법으로 전기에너지도 절약하면서 실내의 작업면 조도는 적정조도를 이루게 하는 방안을 찾고자 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 창 유리의 종류와 실내의 마감색채, 천장타입에 따른 인공조명의 제어방법을 가지고 실험을 하였으며, 실험한 데이터는 실내의 조명설계시 참고할 수 있는 기초적 자료로 제시하고자 했다.
