Korean oil and honey Yukwa has been paid attention as formal cake for traditional national seasons' holiday and religious service. Quality of Yukwa, however, has been maintained arbitrarily by each Yukwa manufacturer. Since even same Yukwa had severe differences in size, weight, and pattern, it has given the negative effect to the consumer. Yukwa industries need to setup the quantitative quality specifications instead of qualitative ones to maintain the uniformity of Yukwa quality. Efficient and economical inspection and process control system should be developed. In developing quality standards of Yukwa, features which can measure quality quantitatively in real time should be properly chosen. Existing quality features such as acidity, oxidization, hardness, viscosity, and texture were measured by the chemical or physical base destructive methods. Many research and developments have been performed in investigating and analyzing chemical transition states of those quality features as environment or storage condition changes. Most methods, however, require either off-line or complex treatment or time consuming process of analysis in evaluating quality features. Consumer, however, selects products mostly based on the external features such as shape, size, and color. Therefore, critical visual quality features should be chosen and the efficient real time measurement system must be developed. In this paper, computer image acquisition and processing system were developed and software modules were developed to extract the quantitative data of those features in real-time. Computer image processing system will promote in maintaining uniform quality of Yukwa and establishing quality standards of Yukwa.

In this paper, various structures of the healthcare smart clothing for real-time measurement of vital sign were suggested. The wearing efficiency was evaluated to find out the best ergonomic clothing in the suggested design. The supplementary effects of the clothing components (princess line, double fabric, cushion) on the stable and tight positioning of sensors to the body were evaluated with wear test. Five experimental clothing for male subject were made with closely-fitted shape and they included two representative structure: one was the integrated type of inner and outer garments and the other was the separated type with two garments. Eight subjects in their twenties were participated in the wear test to evaluate the wearing efficiency of experimental clothing. As results, the clothing structure of the separated garments with the inner and the outer shells were evaluated as more efficient and comfortable. However, the effects of clothing components on the light positioning of the sensors to the body surface were not differentiated each other in the subjective evaluation.

Ubiquitous location based services, offer helpful services anytime and anywhere by using real-time location information of objects based on ubiquitous network. Particularly, autonomous mobile robots can be a solution for various applications related to ubiquitous location based services, e.g. in hospitals, for cleaning, at airports or railway stations. However, a meaningful and still unsolved problem for most applications is to develop a robust and cheap positioning system. A typical example of position measurements is dead reckoning that is well known for providing a good short-term accuracy, being inexpensive and allowing very high sampling rates. However, the measurement always has some accumulated errors because the fundamental idea of dead reckoning is the integration of incremental motion information over time. The other hand, a localization system using RFID offers absolute position of robots regardless of elapsed time. We construct an absolute positioning system based on RFID and investigate how localization technique can be enhanced by RFID through experiment to measure the location of a mobile robot. Tags are placed on the floor at 5cm intervals in the shape of square in an arbitrary space and the accuracy of position measurement is investigated . To reduce the error and the variation of error, a weighting function based on Gaussian function is used. Different weighting values are applied to position data of tags since weighting values follow Gaussian function.

There have been continuous efforts to automate welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured in real time. For the application in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

The measuring of internal defects of objects using the shearography has many advantages. It is a non-contact and non-destructive method and It has a real time measurement speed and no constraints of object shape. Compared to ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry), Shearography has a very low error rate by vibration and air turbulence. So shearography provides possibilities of industrial application. In this paper, Image processing algorithm that is measurement of out-of-plane deformation using the shearography is proposed by developed using the LabVIEW 2010 and measurement result of out-of-plane ESPI and Shearography are compared quantitatively.

경상대학교 해양과학대학의 실습선 새바다호를 사용하여 통영항 내의 동호만에서 1999년 9월 3~4일 사이에 투묘와 양묘를 포함한 선박의 궤적을 PATK-GPS 선간거리계측 시스템을 이용하여 위치와 거리 및 상대방위를 측정하고, 그 측위 정도의 유효성과 묘박의 실시간 가능성에 대하여 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 투묘 후 묘가 브로트업 앵커가 될 때까지의 시간은 4분이 소요되었고, 완전한 묘박 상태로 되어 선박의 궤적이 나타나기 시작하는데 요하는 시간은 10분 정도였다. 2. 묘박중 선체는 묘를 중심으로 하여 8자형의 요동운동을 나타내었다. 3. 측정 전체 시간대의 평균 묘박위치는 투묘위치로부터 북으로 49m, 동으로 89m로 편향되었다. 4. 선박의 궤적은 묘를 중심으로 하여 상태방위 $186.1^\circ$에서 $194.2^\circ$까지의 $8.1^\circ$ 폭 사이를 장반경 63m, 단반경 53m의 거리로 타원형에 가까운 궤적을 그리고, 반시계 방향으로 이동하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 선위의 분포 빈도가 가장 높은 것은 상대방위 $187^\circ$, 거리 558m 지점이었고, 가장 낮은 점은 상대방위 $194^\circ$, 거리 556m의 지점이었다. 6. PRTK-GPS는 거리와 방위를 동시에 측정할 수 있으므로 선박의 묘박에 요구되는 적정한 면적과 주묘의 상태를 연속적으로 정밀하게 파악할 수 있으므로 묘박의 감시에 매우 적절한 시스템이라 판단된다.

This study suggests an optical method to measure cardinal of gait (step width, step length, and stride length) with position sensitive detector (PSD). The effect of reflector’s shape (flat and cylinder) on the PSD output voltage was examined for the application of the suggested system to real situations with a curved shape reflector (e.g. shoes). Various mathematical models were evaluated to find the optimal equation for the distance measurement. Considering the effect of shape on detected signal, the inverse polynomial model was developed. The suggested method is simple to operate, low in cost, small in size, and can evaluate gait parameters in real time. This method is expected to be useful in the field of rehabilitation and sport science

본 논문에서는 발광광고물의 휘도를 측정하는 영상기반 휘도측정시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 휘도측정시스템은 DSLR 카메라의 영상을 이용하여 점휘도계의 효율성과 면휘도계의 휴대성 및 경제성의 단점을 보완하며, 대상의 전체적인 휘도를 측정하는 시스템으로 영상을 입력받아 휘도분석 알고리즘을 통해 실시간으로 휘도값이 출력되도록 설계하였다. 측정 대상인 발광광고물은 설치 위치, 크기, 모양이 다양하며, 발광광고물의 휘도는 측정 거리, 각도, 색 등 다양한 조건에 따라 측정값이 달라진다. 따라서 정확한 휘도를 측정하기 위하여 측정대상물과의 거리에 따른 휘도값의 변화를 측정하였고, 측정 거리가 증가하면 휘도값이 변화하는 것을 고찰하였다. 실험을 통하여 측정 위치와 휘도값의 연관성을 수식으로 나타내었고, 제안한 방법을 평가하기 위해 점휘도계를 이용한 측정값과 비교 실험을 진행하였다.

Using a laser sheet beam projector combined with a CCD-Camera, an efficient technique to recognize complex surface of curvature and lane has been demonstrated for the purpose of mobile robot navigation. In general, obstacles of indoor environments in the field of SLIT-RAY plane are captured as segments of an elliptical arc and a line in the camera image. The robot has been capable of moving along around the obstacle in front of it, by recognizing the original shape of each segment with the differential coefficient by means of least squares method. In this technique, the imaged pixels of each segment, particularly elliptical arc, have been converted into a corresponding circular arc in the real-world coordinates so as to make more feasible the image processing for the position and radius measurement than conventional way based on direct elliptical are analyses. Advantages over direct elliptical cases include 1) higher measurement accuracy and shorter processing time because the circular arc process can reduce the shape-specifying parameters, 2) no complicated factor such as the tilt of elliptical arc axis in the image plane, which produces the capability to find column position and radiua regardless of the camera location . These are essentially required for a mobile robot application. This technique yields an accuracy less than 2cm for a 28.5cm radius column located in the range of 70-250cm distance from the robot. The accuracy obtained in this study is sufficient enough to navigate a cleaning robot which operates in indoor environments.
