Recently, the need of researches and developments about WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) technologies, which can be applied to services that require continuous monitoring or services to specific areas where accesses are limited, has gradually increased due to their expansion of application areas and the improvement of the efficiency. Especially, in the defense field, researches on the latest IT technologies including sensor network areas are actively conducted as an alternative to avoid the risk factors that can be occurred when personnel are put in, such as boundary and surveillance reconnaissance and to utilize personnel efficiently. In this paper, we analyze the conditions for increasing the life span of sensing nodes that make up sensor network by applying clustering and location-based techniques and derived the factors for extending the life span of them. The derived factors include CH(Cluster Head) election scheme and optimal path selection from CH to BS(Base Station). We proposed final scheme using derived factors and verified it through simulation experiments.

Internet of Things (IoT) based sensor networks have gained unprecedented popularity in recent years. With the exponential explosion of the objects (sensors and mobiles), the bandwidth and the speed of data transmission are dwarfed by the anticipated emergence of IoT. In this paper, we propose a novel heterogeneous IoT model integrated the power line communication (PLC) and WiFi network to increase the network capacity and cope with the rapid growth of the objects. We firstly propose the mean transmission delay calculation algorithm based the 3D Markov chain according to the multi-priority of the objects. Then, the attractor selection algorithm, which is based on the adaptive behavior of the biological system, is exploited. The combined the 3D Markov chain and the attractor selection model, named MASM, can select the optimal path adaptively in the heterogeneous IoT according to the environment. Furthermore, we verify that the MASM improves the transmission efficiency and reduce the transmission delay effectively. The simulation results show that the MASM is stable to changes in the environment and more applicable for the heterogeneous IoT, compared with the other algorithms.

In structural health monitoring, it is meaningful to comprehensively utilize accelerometers and strain gauges to obtain the modal information of a structure. In this paper, a modal estimation theory is proposed, in which the displacement modes of the locations without accelerometers can be estimated by the strain modes of selected strain gauge measurements. A two-stage sensor placement method, in which strain gauges are placed together with triaxial accelerometers to obtain more structural displacement mode information, is proposed. In stage one, the initial accelerometer locations are determined through the combined use of the modal assurance criterion and the redundancy information. Due to various practical factors, however, accelerometers cannot be placed at some of the initial accelerometer locations; the displacement mode information of these locations are still in need and the locations without accelerometers are defined as estimated locations. In stage two, the displacement modes of the estimated locations are estimated based on the strain modes of the strain gauge locations, and the quality of the estimation is seen as a criterion to guide the selection of the strain gauge locations. Instead of simply placing a strain gauge at the midpoint of each beam element, the influence of different candidate strain gauge positions on the estimation of displacement modes is also studied. Finally, the modal assurance criterion is utilized to evaluate the performance of the obtained multitype sensor placement. A bridge benchmark structure is used for a numerical investigation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multitype sensor placement method.

Human activity recognition(HAR) using smartphones is a hot research topic in computational intelligence. Smartphones are equipped with a variety of sensors. Fusing the data of these sensors could enable applications to recognize a large number of activities. However, these devices have fewer resources because of the limited number of sensors available, and feature selection and classification methods are required to achieve optimal performance and efficient feature extraction. This paper proposes a smartphone-based HAR scheme according to these requirements. The proposed method in this paper extracts time-domain features from acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, and barometer sensors, and recognizes activities with high accuracy by applying KDA and SVM. This approach selects the most relevant feature of each sensor for each activity. Our comparison results shows that the proposed system outperforms previous smartphone-based HAR systems.

Some things come easily to humans, one of them is the ability to navigate around. This capability of navigation suffers significantly in case of partial or complete blindness, restricting life activity. Advances in the technological landscape have given way to new solutions aiding navigation for the visually impaired. In this paper, we analyze the existing works and identify the challenges of path selection, context awareness, obstacle detection/identification and integration of visual and nonvisual information associated with real-time assisted mobility. In the process, we explore machine learning approaches for robotic path planning, multi constrained optimal path computation and sensor based wearable assistive devices for the visually impaired. It is observed that the solution to problem is complex and computationally intensive and significant effort is required towards the development of richer and comfortable paths for safe and smooth navigation of visually impaired people. We cannot overlook to explore more effective strategies of acquiring surrounding information towards autonomous mobility.

The planning stage of laser scanning is crucial for acquiring high-quality 3D source data. It involves assessing the target space's environment and formulating an effective measurement strategy. However, existing practices often overlook on-site conditions, with decisions on scanner deployment and scanning locations relying heavily on the operators' experience. This approach has resulted in frequent modifications to scanning locations and diminished 3D data quality. Previous research has explored the selection of optimal scanner locations and conducted preliminary reviews through simulation, but these methods have significant drawbacks. They fail to consider scanner inaccuracies, do not support the use of multiple scanners, rely on less accurate 2D drawings, and require specialized knowledge in 3D modeling and programming. This study introduces an optimization technique for laser scanning planning using 3D simulation to address these issues. By evaluating the accuracy of scan data from various laser scanners and their positioning for scanning a retaining wall structure in a small-scale building, this method aids in refining the laser scanning plan. It enhances the decision-making process for end-users by ensuring data quality and reducing the need for plan adjustments during the planning phase.

In the paper, the Image SNR(Signal-to-Noise) distribution proposed in [1] is reviewed from the three points of views: verification, variation, and application of the distribution. First, the proposed Image SNR distribution is verified through the noise-based simulation over a 2D image detector. Second, its variation over the linear/nonlinear gains shows that the noise-effect itself cannot explain every reason for the degraded Image SNR distribution. Third, through the application to optimal selection of the operation parameters, the usefulness of the proposed distribution is clarified.

The present paper describes the flow analysis of the flows around the multicopter for the selection of optimal position of air data sensor. For the flow analysis, the commercial fluid dynamics solver, STAR-CCM+ was used with polygon mesh and k-w SST turbulence modeling options. For the simulation of each rotating 4 propellers, unstructured overset mesh method was used. Hovering, forward flight, ascending and descending flight conditions are selected for the analysis and airspeed and flow angle errors were investigated using the CFD results. Through the flow field analysis, sensor location above one propeller diameter distance from the propeller rotating plane showed airspeed error less than 1m/s within the typical flight conditions of multicopter except descending.

This paper analyzes and evaluates to optimally build a data collection system essential for factory energy management systems on an edge-based lightweight platform. A "Sensor/OPC-UA simulator" was developed based on sensors in an actual food factory and used to evaluate the storage engine of edge devices. The performance of storage engines in edge devices was evaluated to suggest the optimal storage engine. The experimental results show that when using the RocksDB storage engine, it has less than half the memory and database size compared to using InnoDB, and has a 3.01 times faster processing time. This study enables the selection of advantageous storage engines for managing time-series data on devices with limited resources and contributes to further research in this field through the sensor/OPC simulator.

다단계 호핑(multi-hop) 무선 센서네트워크의 라우팅 경로를 설정하는데 있어서 데이터 전송의 요구가 있는 경우에만 경로를 만드는 Demand-Driven 방식의 대표적인 방법이 DSR(Dynamic Source Routing)인데 라우트 레코드를 패킷에 실어 보내기 때문에 이 또한 센서노드들의 수가 많아질수록 패킷이 무거워질 수밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 DSR 프로토콜을 기반 하면서도 라우팅 테이블을 적절히 이용하여 노드 수 증가에 대해 고정된 패킷크기를 가지도록 하였으며 라우팅 비용함수를 적용하여 각 센서노드들의 전원 소모량, 이동성(Mobility), 네트워크 내에서의 Traffic, 거리(Hop) 등을 복합적으로 고려한 안정적이고 신뢰성 있는 최적의 라우팅 설정 알고리즘을 제안한다.
