A 3-D multi-function radar(MFR) is a modern radar to provide various target information, such as range, doppler, and angle by performing surveillance, multiple target tracking, and missile guidance. In this paper, we introduced a real-time radar signal processor(RSP), which is a crucial component of MFR with its design, implementation using high-speed multiple DSP, and performance. Additionally, we verified that several advanced signal processing algorithms were well-performed in our RSP, such as MCA-CFAR algorithm for target detection in clutter environment, range and velocity measurement algorithm using discriminator estimation, and noise jammer detection algorithm using local minimum selection.

Characteristics of PCM(Pulse Code Modulation) waveform are suitable for target tracking. Especially in terms of dwell time, it is desirable to detect and track a moving target with the single PCM waveform for a MFR(Multi-Function Radar) which carries out multiple tasks. General PCM waveform processing includes Doppler filter bank caused by the characteristics of ambiguity function, to detect target and estimate Doppler frequency, which induces hardware burden and computational complexity. We propose a ML(Maximum Likelihood) based Doppler estimator for a PCM waveform, which is the closed form suboptimal solution and computationally efficient to estimate Doppler frequency and detect a moving target.

PIN-entry interfaces have high risks to leak secret values if the malicious attackers perform shoulder-surfing attacks with advanced monitoring and observation devices. To make the PIN-entry secure, many studies have considered invisible radio channels as a secure medium to deliver private information. However, the methods are also vulnerable if the malicious adversaries find a hint of secret values from user's $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ gestures. In this paper, we revisit the state-of-art radio channel based bimodal PIN-entry method and analyze the information leakage from the previous method by exploiting the sight tracking attacks. The proposed sight tracking attack technique significantly reduces the original password complexities by 93.8% after post-processing. To keep the security level strong, we introduce the advanced bimodal PIN-entry technique. The new technique delivers the secret indicator information through a secure radio channel and the smartphone screen only displays the multiple indicator options without corresponding numbers. Afterwards, the users select the target value by following the circular layout. The method completely hides the password and is secure against the advanced shoulder-surfing attacks.

In recent years, video detection systems have been implemented in various infrastructures such as airport, public transportation, power generation system, water dam and so on. Recognizing moving objects in video sequence is an important problem in computer vision, with applications in several fields, such as video surveillance and target tracking. Segmentation and tracking of multiple vehicles in crowded situations is made difficult by inter-object occlusion. In the system described in this paper, the mean shift algorithm is firstly used to filter and segment a color vehicle image in order to get candidate regions. These candidate regions are then analyzed and classified in order to decide whether a candidate region contains a license plate or not. And then some characters in the license plate is recognized by using the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network, which is a relatively new architecture of the neural network family and has the capability to learn incrementally unlike the conventional BP network. We finally design a license plate recognition system using the mean shift algorithm and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network and show its performance via some computer simulations.

This paper proposes a method to estimate the level of interest shown by visitors towards a specific target, a guide robot, in spaces where a large number of visitors, such as exhibition halls and museums, can show interest in a specific subject. To accomplish this, we apply deep learning-based behavior recognition and object tracking techniques for multiple visitors, and based on this, we derive the behavior analysis and interest level of visitors. To implement this research, a personalized dataset tailored to the characteristics of exhibition hall and museum environments was created, and a deep learning model was constructed based on this. Four scenarios that visitors can exhibit were classified, and through this, prediction and experimental values were obtained, thus completing the validation for the interest estimation method proposed in this paper.

In this paper, a new protocol-based approach was proposed for development of a ubiquitous vision system. It is possible to apply the approach by regarding the ubiquitous vision system as a multiagent system. Thus, each vision sensor can be regarded as an agent (vision agent). Each vision agent independently performs exact segmentation for a target by color and motion information, visual tracking for multiple targets in real-time, and location estimation by a simple perspective transform. Matching problem for the identity of a target during handover between vision agents is solved by the Identified Contract Net (ICN) protocol implemented for the protocol-based approach. The protocol-based approach by the ICN protocol is independent of the number of vision agents and moreover the approach doesn't need calibration and overlapped region between vision agents. Therefore, the ICN protocol raises speed, scalability, and modularity of the system. The protocol-based approach was successfully applied for our ubiquitous vision system and operated well through several experiments.

This paper introduces core techniques on ship detection and tracking based on a compact HF radar platform which is necessary to establish a wide-area surveillance network. Currently, most HF radar sites are primarily optimized for observing sea surface radial velocities and bearings. Therefore, many ship detection systems are vulnerable to error sources such as environmental noise and clutter when they are applied to these practical surface current observation purpose systems. In addition, due to Korea's geographical features, only compact HF radars which generates non-uniform antenna response and has no information on target information are applicable. The ship detection and tracking techniques discussed in this paper considers these practical conditions and were evaluated by real data collected from the Yellow Sea, Korea. The proposed method is composed of two parts. In the first part, ship detection, a constant false alarm rate based detector was applied and was enhanced by a PCA subspace decomposition method which reduces noise. To merge multiple detections originated from a single target due to the Doppler effect during long CPIs, a clustering method was applied. Finally, data association framework eliminates false detections by considering ship maneuvering over time. According to evaluation results, it is claimed that the proposed method produces satisfactory results within certain ranges.

다중 표적 추적(MTT:Multiple Target Tracking)은 한 개 또는 그 이상의 센서들을 사용하는 감시(sureillance) 시스템을 위해서 컴퓨터와 마찬가지로 주변상황을 해석하는데 없어서는 안되는 중 요한 요소이다. 레이다, IR(Infrared) 및 Sonar등과 같은 전형적인 센서 시스템들은 여러 가지 신호원 (sources): 문제의 표적, 레이다 지면 클러터(clutter)같은 후면잡음 또는 열잡음같은 내부 오차 요인 으로부터 측정치(measurement)를 만들어 준다. 다중표적용 추적방식의 목적은 센서가 제공하는 측 정 데이터들을 동일한 신호원으로부터 나온 여러 세트의 관측치(observations) 또는 트랙(track)으로 구분해내는 것이다. 이와 같이 일단 트랙이 구성되고 확정되면 후면잡음이나 허위표적을 제거할 수 있 도록 표적의 수를 추산하고 표적의 속도나 예상위치 및 표적의 종류와 기타특성을 계산해낼 수 있다.

Neural networks are used in the framework of sensorbased tracking control of robot manipulators. They learn by practice movements the relationship between PSD (an analog Position Sensitive Detector) sensor readings for target positions and the joint commands to reach them. Using this configuration, the system can track or follow a moving or stationary object in real time. forthermore, an efficient neural network architecture has been developed for real time learning. This network uses multiple sets of simple backpropagation networks one of which is selected according to which division (corresponding to a cluster of the self-organizing feature map) in data space the current input data belongs to. This lends itself to a very training and processing implementation required for real time control.
