  • Robots will be able to coexist with humans and support humans effectively in near future. One of the most important aspects in the development of human-friendly robots is to cooperation between humans and robots. In this paper, we proposed a method for multi-object identification in order to achieve such human-centered system and robot localization in intelligent space. The intelligent space is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. The Intelligent Space achieves the human centered services by accelerating the physical and psychological interaction between humans and intelligent devices. As an intelligent device of the Intelligent Space, a color CCD camera module, which includes processing and networking part, has been chosen. The Intelligent Space requires functions of identifying and tracking the multiple objects to realize appropriate services to users under the multi-camera environments. In order to achieve seamless tracking and location estimation many camera modules are distributed. They causes some errors about object identification among different camera modules. This paper describes appearance based object representation for the distributed vision system in Intelligent Space to achieve consistent labeling of all objects. Then, we discuss how to learn the object color appearance model and how to achieve the multi-object tracking under occlusions.

  • An optic module system is developed adopting multiple colorimetry units for the measurement of multi-pad urinalysis dipsticks. Multiple photometry system instead of moving mechanisms has the advantages of system reliability and simplicity as well as economic aspects due to the recent development of economic color light emitting diodes and stable photo sensors. An integration amplifier with programmable integration time, a current source circuit with selectable and stable current settings were connected through analog multiplexers to thirty light emitting diodes for illumination and ten photo transistors for reading each strip pad. All the circuits are controlled by a microprocessor through a simple set of serial communication commands. The detect ability is eighteen times better than the minimum color difference of the test grading which is 0.013 in urobilinogen in the color space defined in this paper.

  • 신호원으로부터 발생하는 전파를 이격된 다중 센서에서 수신하여 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 시스템에서는 신호원의 위치와 센서들의 위치에 따라 위치탐지 정확도가 저하되는 현상이 나타난다. 이러한 현상을 기하학적 정밀도 저하(GDOP) 효과라 하며, 이러한 효과를 최소화하여 위치탐지 정확도 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 대해 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이격 배치된 센서들의 방위 정보를 이용하여 GDOP 효과의 발생 가능성을 추정하고, 위치 추정에서 오차 요인이 되는 센서를 제거하여 GDOP 효과로 인한 성능 저하를 최소화하는 방법에 관한 연구 결과를 서술하겠다.

  • In this paper, a multi-objective wireless sensor network configuration optimization method is proposed. The proposed method aims to determine the optimal information and lifespan wireless sensor network for structural health monitoring of large-scale infrastructures. In particular, cluster-based wireless sensor networks with multi-type of sensors are considered. To optimize the lifetime of the wireless sensor network, a cluster-based network optimization algorithm that optimizes the arrangement of cluster heads and base station is developed. On the other hand, based on the Bayesian inference, the uncertainty of the estimated parameters can be quantified. The coefficient of variance of the estimated parameters can be obtained, which is utilized as a holistic measure to evaluate the estimation accuracy of sensor configurations with multi-type of sensors. The proposed method provides the optimal wireless sensor network configuration that satisfies the required estimation accuracy with the longest lifetime. The proposed method is illustrated by designing the optimal wireless sensor network configuration of a cable-stayed bridge and a space truss.

  • In this letter, we propose the use of tunneling field effect transistors (TFET) as a biosensor that detects bio-molecules on the gate oxide. In TFET sensors, the charges of target molecules accumulated at the surface of the gate oxide bend the energy band of p-i-n structure and thus tunneling current varies with the band bending. Sensing parameters of TFET sensors such as threshold voltage ($V_t$) shift and on-current ($I_D$) change are extracted as a function of the charge variation. As a result, it is found that the performances of TFET sensors can surpass those of conventional FET (cFET) based sensors in terms of sensitivity. Furthermore, it is verified that the simultaneous sensing of two different target molecules in a TFET sensor can be performed by using the ambipolar behavior of TFET sensors. Consequently, it is revealed that two different molecules can be sensed simultaneously in a read-out circuit since the multi-sensing is carried out at equivalent current level by the ambipolar behavior.

  • 자동차의 자율주행 기술이 확대되면서 '눈'의 역할을 하는 센서가 점차 중요시되고 있다. 최근 차량에 장착되는 라이다 센서는 채널이 많을수록 피사체에 반사된 신호 또한 풍부해짐에 따라 장애물, 지형, 차량 등 주변 환경 탐색의 정확도가 높아진다. 하지만, 라이다 센서는 채널 증가에 따른 열배 이상 가격의 차이가 있으며, 이러한 가격적인 문제로 보급형 차량보다는 고가의 차량에만 부분적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 저 가격의 16 채널의 라이다를 복수개로 구성하여 동시에 신호를 수집 처리하여 하나의 입체공간으로 융합하고 이를 나타낼 수 있게 함으로써 64 채널의 라이더와 같은 효과를 나타낼 수 있게 하였다. 이를 통해서 차량 심미성의 개선과 함께 보급화를 위한 기반을 제공할 수 있다.

  • The need to monitor and undertake remidial works on large structures has greatly increased in recent years due to the appearance of widespread faults in large structures such as bridges and buildings, etc, of 20 or more years of age. The health condition of structures must be monitored continuously to maintenance the structures. In order to do in-situ monitoring, the sensor is necessary to be embedded in the structures. Fiber optic sensors can be embedded in the structures to get the health information in the structures. The fiber sensor was constructed with $3{\times}3$ fiber couplers to sense the multi-point strains and failure instants. The 4 RC (reinforced concrete) beams were made to 2 of A type, 2 of B type beams. These beams were reinforced by the reinforcing bars, and were tested under the flexural loading. The behavior of the beams was simultaneously measured by the fiber optic sensors, electrical strain gages, and LVDT. The states of the beams were interpreted by these all signals. By these experiments, There were verified that the fiber optic sensors could measure the structural strains and failure instants of the RC beams, The fiber sensors were well operated until the failure of the beams. It was shown that the strains of the reinforcing steel bar can be used to monitor the health condition of the beams through the flexural test of RC beams. On the other words, the results were arrived that the two strains in the reinforcing bar measured at the same point can give the information of the structural health status. Also, the failure instants of beams were well detected from the fiber optic filtered signals.

  • 탄소나노튜브 고분자 복합체는, 외력에 의한 변형에 따라 전기적 저항이 변화하는 피에조저항(piezoresistivity) 거동을 나타낸다. 피에조저항은 고분자 모재 내에서 탄소나노튜브가 형성하는 전기전도망(conductive network)의 변화에 의해서 발현된다. 피에조저항 낮은 탄소나노튜브 함유량에서 더 현저하게 나타난다. 탄소섬유, 카본블랙 등 타 탄소기반 소재에 비해 전기전도도와 길이 대 직경비(aspect ratio)가 월등히 우수하기 때문에, 낮은 탄소나노튜브의 함유량에서도 스트레인 센싱시스템을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 구조물에 부착 또는 임베드 시켜서 구조물의 건전성을 실시간을 진단할 수 있는 탄소나노튜브 고분자 복합체 기반 센싱시스템을 개발하였다. 센서는 열가소성 수지와 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 사용하여 필름 형태로 제조되었으며, 센싱 성능은 나노복합체를 구조물에 부착한 후 인장, 굽힘, 압축 등의 다양한 형태의 하중을 가하면서 평가하였다.
