An indoor positioning system using Wi-Fi is essential to produce a radio map that combines the indoor space of two or more dimensions, the information of node positions, and etc. in processing for constructing the radio map, the measurement of the received signal strength indicator(RSSI) and the confirmation of node placement information counsume substantial time. Especially, when the installed wireless environment is changed or a new space is created, easy installation of the node and fast indoor radio mapping are needed to provide indoor location-based services. In this paper, to reduce the time consumption, we propose an algorithm to distinguish the straight and curve lines of a corridor section by RSSI visualization and Sobel filter-based edge detection that enable accurate node deployment and space analysis using cable-type Wi-Fi node installed at a 3 m interval. Because the cable type Wi-Fi is connected by a same power line, it has an advantage that the installation order of nodes at regular intervals could be confirmed accurately. To be able to analyze specific sections in space based on this advantage, the distribution of the signal was confirmed and analyzed by Sobel filter based edge detection and total RSSI distribution(TRD) computation through a visualization process based on the measured RSSI. As a result to compare the raw data with the performance of the proposed algorithm, the signal intensity of proposed algorithm is improved by 13.73 % in the curve section. Besides, the characteristics of the straight and the curve line were enhanced as the signal intensity of the straight line decreased by an average of 34.16 %.

In this detailed and comprehensive study, our primary focus has been placed on accurately gauging the number of visitors and their real-time locations in commercial spaces. Particularly, in a real cafe, using security cameras, we have developed a system that can offer live updates on available seating and predict future congestion levels. By employing YOLO, a real-time object detection and tracking algorithm, the number of visitors and their respective locations in real-time are also monitored. This information is then used to update a cafe's indoor map, thereby enabling users to easily identify available seating. Moreover, we developed a model that predicts the congestion of a cafe in real time. The sophisticated model, designed to learn visitor count and movement patterns over diverse time intervals, is based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) to address the vanishing gradient problem and Sequence-to-Sequence (Seq2Seq) for processing data with temporal relationships. This innovative system has the potential to significantly improve cafe management efficiency and customer satisfaction by delivering reliable predictions of cafe congestion to all users. Our groundbreaking research not only demonstrates the effectiveness and utility of indoor location tracking technology implemented through security cameras but also proposes potential applications in other commercial spaces.

Although the previous information technologies had been used for the quick and accurate processing of work, At present, however, as the combination with the Internet, the IOT(Internet-of-Things) era in which the diverse pieces of information are collected and handled through the sensor networks is in progress. Among these application fields of the IoT, the indoors position identification technology has been developing in the direction of providing the position information in the buildings of which the lengths and the interiors are complicated and in the direction of providing the various pieces of information and others of the like to the nearby customers. In this paper, we proposed an indoors position identification system that detects the patrol positions of the prison officers in the correctional facilities and in the prisons by using the ultrasonic waves, that transmits these to the control system and the data gateway, and that transmits the detected data. The Indoors Positioning identification System is organized with the tags for recognizing the positions that transmit the ultrasonic signal, ultrasonic receiver and data gateway. And the indoors position information data were transmitted to the management system through the data gateway. We evaluated the transmission error, by changing the distance of the proposed system for location recognition tag and the receiver, As a result, we found out that, when the transmission distance was 10 cm or less, the errors occurred in the form of the distortions. And when it was 110 cm or more, the transmission errors occurred due to the propagation diminutions of the ultrasonic wave signals. And when the transmission distance was from 10 cm to 100 cm, it was shown that the proposed system was possible without any errors.

In this paper we develop a novel human action recognition system based on communication between an ear-mounted Bluetooth camera and an action recognition server to aid scene recognition for the blind. First, if the blind capture an image of a specific location using the ear-mounted camera, the captured image is transmitted to the recognition server using a smartphone that is synchronized with the camera. The recognition server sequentially performs human detection, object detection and action recognition by analyzing human poses. The recognized action information is retransmitted to the smartphone and the user can hear the action information through the text-to-speech (TTS). Experimental results using the proposed system showed a 60.7% action recognition performance on the test data captured in indoor and outdoor environments.

The technological development and popularization of mobile devices have developed so that users can check their location anywhere and use the Internet. However, in the case of indoors, the Internet can be used smoothly, but the global positioning system (GPS) function is difficult to use. There is an increasing need to provide real-time location information in shaded areas where GPS is not received, such as department stores, museums, conference halls, schools, and tunnels, which are indoor public places. Accordingly, research on the recent indoor positioning technology based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) equipment is increasing to build a landmark database. Focusing on the accessibility of building a landmark database, this study attempted to develop a technique for estimating the user's location by using a single image taken of a landmark based on a mobile device and the landmark database information constructed in advance. First, a landmark database was constructed. In order to estimate the user's location only with the mobile image photographing the landmark, it is essential to detect the landmark from the mobile image, and to acquire the ground coordinates of the points with fixed characteristics from the detected landmark. In the second step, by applying the bag of words (BoW) image search technology, the landmark photographed by the mobile image among the landmark database was searched up to a similar 4th place. In the third step, one of the four candidate landmarks searched through the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) feature point extraction technique and Homography random sample consensus(RANSAC) was selected, and at this time, filtering was performed once more based on the number of matching points through threshold setting. In the fourth step, the landmark image was projected onto the mobile image through the Homography matrix between the corresponding landmark and the mobile image to detect the area of the landmark and the corner. Finally, the user's location was estimated through the location estimation technique. As a result of analyzing the performance of the technology, the landmark search performance was measured to be about 86%. As a result of comparing the location estimation result with the user's actual ground coordinate, it was confirmed that it had a horizontal location accuracy of about 0.56 m, and it was confirmed that the user's location could be estimated with a mobile image by constructing a landmark database without separate expensive equipment.

이동 로봇의 자기 위치 인식 방법으로 GPS를 많이 이용하지만 건물 내부공간에서는 위성신호 수신 장애가 있기 때문에 GPS 사용이 어렵다. 이에 대한 대안으로 다양한 형태의 실내 측위 기술에 관한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 최근에는 WiFi를 이용한 방법이 일부 상용화 되고 있으나 정밀도가 3~5m라는 한계가 있으며, LED 조명을 이용한 방법은 실용화 단계에 이르지는 못했지만 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 당 연구실에서도 LED조명을 기반으로 한 실내위치 인식 시스템을 개발하였으며, 지난 연구에서는 이를 이용한 이동로봇의 자율주행을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 지난 연구에 덧붙여 두개의 수신부를 이용하여 로봇의 방향인식오류 개선 및 이동 로봇의 자율주행을 보여주고자 한다. 제시된 시스템은 이동로봇, 조명제어장치 그리고 컴퓨터로 구성된다. 이동로봇은 상용화된 마이크로 마우스에 탑재된 조명신호 수신장치를 통하여 자신의 위치와 방향을 감지하며, 컴퓨터와의 Wi-Fi 통신으로 자신의 위치를 컴퓨터에 전송하거나 위치 명령을 수신한다. 컴퓨터에서는 수신 받은 이동로봇의 위치를 실시간으로 화면에 표시하며, 이동로봇에 전달할 위치명령을 사용자가 입력하는 기능을 제공한다. 사용자가 이동경로를 설정한 후 이동로봇으로 명령을 보내면 로봇은 자신의 위치와 목적지를 비교하며 자율주행을 하게 된다. 실험을 통하여 확인한 결과 지난연구의 방향인식의 문제점이 해결되어 제시된 시스템으로 실내공간에서도 이동로봇의 자율주행이 원만히 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a method that utilizes optimization approach for localization of an indoor mobile robot. Bayesian filters which have been widely used for localization of a mobile robot use many control parameters to take the uncertainties in measurement and environment into account. The estimation performance depends on the selection of these parameter values. Also, the performance of the Bayesian filters deteriorate as the non-linearity of the motion and measurement increases. On the other hand, the optimization approach uses fewer control parameters and is less influenced by the non-linearity than the Bayesian methods. This paper compares the localization performance of the proposed method with the performance of the extended Kalman filter to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. Measurements of ranges from beacons of ultrasonic satellite to the robot are used for localization. Mahalanobis distance is used for detection and rejection of outlier in the measurements. The optimization method sets performance index as a function of the measured range values, and finds the optimized estimation of the location through iteration. The method can improve the localization performance and reduce the computation time in corporation with Bayesian filter which provides proper initial location for the iteration.

The video surveillance system is adopted in many places due to its efficiency and constancy in monitoring a specific area over a long period of time. However, many surveillance systems composed of a single static camera often produce unsatisfactory results due to their lack of field of view. In this paper, we present a video surveillance system based on wide baseline stereo cameras to overcome the limitation. We adopt the codebook algorithm and mathematical morphology to robustly model the foreground pixels of the moving object in the scene and calculate the trajectory of the moving object via 3D reconstruction. The experimental results show that the proposed system detects a moving object and generates a top view trajectory successfully to track the location of the object in the world coordinates.
