This paper presents a sensing system for smart home which can detect an location transition events such as entrance/exit of a member and identify the user in a group at the same time. The proposed system is compose of two sub-systems; a wireless sensor network system and a database server system. The wireless sensing system is designed as a star network where each of sensing modules with ultrasonic sensors and a Bluetooth RF module connect to a central receiver called Bluetooth access point. We propose a method to discriminate a user by measuring the height of the user. The differences in the height of users is a key feature for discrimination. At the same time, the each sensing module can recognize whether the user goes into or out a room by using two ultrasonic sensors. The server subsystem is a sort of data logging system which read the detected event from the access point and then write it into a database system. The database system could provide the location transition information to wide range of context-aware applications for smart home easily and conveniently. We evaluate the developed method with experiments for three subjects in a family with the installation of the developed system into a real house.

Target-tracking algorithm based on ad hoc camera sensor networks (ACSNs) utilizes the distributed observation capability of nodes to achieve accurate target tracking. A compressed sensing-based multiple-target tracking algorithm (CSMTTA) for ACSNs is proposed in this work based on the study of camera node observation projection model and compressed sensing model. The proposed algorithm includes reconfiguration of observed signals and evaluation of target locations. It reconfigures observed signals by solving the convex optimization of L1-norm least and forecasts node group to evaluate a target location by the motion features of the target. Simulation results show that CSMTTA can recover the subtracted observation information accurately under the condition of sparse sampling to a high target-tracking accuracy and accomplish the distributed tracking task of multiple mobile targets.

In this paper, we present our implementation of the direct camera model (image to ground) for SPOT5 and use it to assess the geometric accuracy of SPOT5 imagery. Our assessment confirms the location accuracy of SPOT5 imagery (without use of GCPs) is less than 50m. We further introduce a few attitude parameters to refine the camera model with GCPs. The model is applied to two SPOT5 supermode images, one near vertical, incidence angle of 3 degrees, and one far oblique, incidence angle of 27 degrees. The results show that accuracy (rms of check points) of about one pixel (2.5m) can be achieved with about 4 GCPs by using only 3 parameters to correct the yaw, pitch and roll of the satellite.

In recent years, smart clothing had been developed in order to better detect and monitor physical movement of the patient, so that such activities such as location identification and biometric recognition could be done. However, most of the sensing devices of smart clothing were limited to smart sensing sports clothing and the designs did not consider the physical characteristics and the behavior of the wearer. Therefore, this study aimed to create an open protection system by developing a wearable sensing device for health monitoring and location information. For this purpose, this study developed eleven types of wearable sensing design that could be commercially sold and worn by people who needed their biological information to be constantly monitored. The study conducted four tests in order to develop three types of sensing devices for various sensing wears. The purpose of this study was to expand the user rang of smart sensing wears, and provide a foundation for the development of distinctive wearable sensing devices reflecting the user. Furthermore, contribute to the design for the person subject to protection.

스펙트럼 검출은 인지 무선 시스템(Cognitive Radios) 구현을 위한 핵심 기술들 중의 하나이다. 스펙트럼 검출에서 문제시되는 점들 중에 하나는 페이딩(Fading) 및 쉐도윙(Shadowing) 등으로 인해서 스펙트럼 검출 성능이 저하된다는 것이다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 방법 중 하나가 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방법이다. 이 방법을 통해 비협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식의 성능을 개선할 수 있지만, 여전히 큰 장애물과 같은 간섭 요인에 의해 스펙트럼 성능이 영향을 받는다는 단점이 있다. 특히, 기존의 대부분의 연구에서는 고정된 1차 사용자(Primary User, PU)를 고려하고 있지만 향후 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 환경에서는 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자가 존재하는 시스템을 고려해야 한다. 이러한 환경에서 기존의 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식은 정확성이 낮은 검출 성능을 보이고 고려하지 않아도 될 2차 사용자(Cognitive User, CR user)의 국부 센싱값을 전송함으로써 많은 에너지를 소비하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 무선 인지 시스템에서의 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자의 위치를 추정하고 이를 기반으로 간섭 영향을 받는 2차 사용자를 검출한다. 또한 검출된 간섭영향을 받는 2차 사용자의 센싱 정보를 융합 결정할 때 배제함으로써 스펙트럼 검출의 정확성을 높이는 방법을 제안하다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘 보다 정확한 스펙트럼 검출을 보인다.

This paper investigates the design issues of spectrum sensing in the cognitive radio (CR) networks of opportunistic unlicensed spectrum access. The cognitive radios can perform a communication using the incumbent user spectrum band without the interference caused by the cognitive radio users. In this case, the cognitive radios must know the real-time radio environments of the incumbent user spectrum band using the spectrum sensing, beacon signal, and geo-location database access. Then in this paper, we are going to provide spectrum sensing issues which include the sensing techniques, the regulatory requirements, the analysis of DTV detection threshold, and main considerations associated with the spectrum sensing design in cognitive radio systems. Also, this paper introduces design trade-offs in order to optimize the sensing parameters such as sensing time and sensing complexity.

In the present study, we reduce the drag and lift fluctuations of the sphere by providing a linear proportional control. For this purpose, we measure the radial velocity along the centerline in the wake and provide blowing and suction at a part of sphere surface based on the measured velocity. Zero-net mass flow rate is satisfied during the control. This control is applied to the flow over a sphere at Re=300 and 425. We vary the sensing location at $0.8d{\leq}X_s{\leq}1.3d$ and find that the most effective sensing region coincides with the location at which minimum correlation between the lift and sensing-velocity directions occurs. As a result, the lift and drag fluctuations are significantly reduced.

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the effect of sensor location on the data quality and subsequently, on the effectiveness of machine health monitoring. Based on an analysis of the signal propagation process from the defect location to the sensor, numerical simulations using finite element modeling were conducted on a bearing test bed to determine the signal strength at several representative sensor locations. The results showed that placing sensors closely to the machine component being monitored is critical to achieving high signal-to-noise ratio, thus improving the data quality. Using millimeter-sized piezoceramic plates, the obtained results were evaluated experimentally. A comparison with a set of commercial vibration sensors verified the developed structural dynamics-based sensor placement strategy. It further demonstrated that the proposed shock wave-based sensing technique provided an effective alternative to vibration measurement, while requiring less space for sensor installation.

Many hospitals have been considering new technology such as wireless sensor network(WSN). The technology can be used to track the location of medical devices needed for inspections or repairs, and it can also be used to detect of a theft of an asset. In an asset-tracking system using WSN, acquiring the location of moving sensor nodes inherently introduces uncertainty in location determination. In fact, the sensor nodes attached to an asset are prone to failure from lack of energy or from physical destruction. Therefore, even if the asset is located within the predetermined area, the asset-tracking application could "misunderstand" that an asset has escaped from the area. This paper classifies the causes of such unexpected situations into the following five cases: 1) an asset has actually escaped from a predetermined area; 2) a sensor node was broken; 3) the battery for the sensor node was totally discharged; 4) an asset went into a shadow area; 5) a sensor node was stolen. We implemented and installed our asset-tracking system in a hospital and continuously monitored the status of assets such as ventilators, syringe pumps, wheel chairs and IV poles. Based on this real experience, we suggest how to differentiate each case of location uncertainty and propose possible solutions to prevent them.

국내 TV 화이트 스페이스(TVWS) 기술기준에 따르면 디지털 TV(DTV) 서비스영역 내에서 고정 전력을 사용하는 휴대용 TV 화이트 스페이스 기기(WSD)의 경우, DTV 서비스 영역 경계 부분에서 전파환경이 변화하면 간섭이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 TVWS geo-location 데이터베이스 기반의 고정 전력할당 방안에 더하여 스펙트럼 센싱을 수행하는 하이브리드 WSD의 무선자원 할당 방안을 제안한다. 하이브리드 WSD의 현재 위치에서 DTV의 수신전력을 센싱하고, 위치확률을 계산하여 허용가능 실효 등방향 방사전력을 산출한다. 이러한 높은 정확도의 WSD 무선자원 할당 방안을 통해 WSD가 국내 기술기준을 만족하면서 주변 픽셀로의 유해한 간섭을 제거하고 주파수 효율을 향상시켰다.
