  • Ubiquitous computing is a novel paradigm that is rapidly gaining in the scenario of wireless communications and telecommunications for realizing smart world. As rapid development of sensor technology, smart sensor system becomes more popular in automobile or vehicle. In this study, a new vehicle detection mechanism in real-time for blind spot area is proposed based on imaging sensors. To determine the position of other vehicles on the road is important for operation of driver assistance systems (DASs) to increase driving safety. As the result, blind spot detection of vehicles is addressed using an automobile detection algorithm for blind spots. The proposed vehicle verification utilizes the height and angle of a rear-looking vehicle mounted camera. Candidate vehicle information is extracted using adaptive shadow detection based on brightness values of an image of a vehicle area. The vehicle is verified using a training set with Haar-like features of candidate vehicles. Using these processes, moving vehicles can be detected in blind spots. The detection ratio of true vehicles was 91.1% in blind spots based on various experimental results.

  • Sounds of electrically powered vehicle components such as window lift system, roller blind, etc., are required to be more comfortable and not to irritate the people emotionally. In this paper, a study was conducted to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the luxuriousness sound quality index of electrically powered vehicle roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof system. Before conducting subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in luxuriousness sound quality index we composed. Also, effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.

  • The new blind design of sunlighting has been suggested in this study. The material in this blind becomes transparent but the blind has the parabolic edge section having the perpendicular line on a side. The material of this blind is PolyMethly MethAcrylate(PMMA). In this parabolic edge section, the front side of the blind is designed perpendicular to the ground. But the back side is a little tilted to the front side. The rays of reflected sun at the front side can be easily reflected totally by the back side. If the inclination angle in this parabolic edge section at the back side is designed with $15^{\circ}$, it can transmit the rays of sun when the height of the sun is lower than $45^{\circ}$. But it can reflect the rays of sun when the height of the sun is upper than $45^{\circ}$. The suggested design of blind can be applied to the existing blind installation. Although the material in this blind becomes transparent, the rays of sun can be reflected totally at midday. There is also prospect outside of the blind because the material becomes transparent. Several inclination angles in the suggested design have been simulated for the various height of sun. Total reflections have been occurred by the suggested blind design at midday and it can be useful to shut out the sunlight.

  • Developement of computer and digitalizing of medical implement are being caused digitalizing of medical image. Medical Images are being managed more by PACS. In this situation comes out many problem about ownership, the right of properity of the medical images and notice wheather the data are modified. Digital watermarking can solve this problem. The proposed schemes have a two weak point that Non-blind method need a original image and Blind method use gaussian watermarking. In this paper, we propose a blind watermarking using binary image in order to easily recognize result of watermark This proposed scheme using wavelet transform and Circular Input method that input in medium-band of frequency domain.

  • In this paper, we propose a walking assisting system for blind people using Android smartphone and Arduino board. In our proposed system, we use an Android smartphone case and an external ultrasonic sensor to detect the obstacles ahead. In this manner, blind people is able to aware unexpected objects by smartphone speakers or vibration functionality. In addition, the walking assisting system is also designed a notice system which will be triggered by built-in smartphone camera flash when blind people walk in some darkness place. The experimental results from real experiments on blind people have demonstrated the applicability of our walking assisting system, when it not only efficiently helps blind people avoid obstacles ahead but also possible traffic collisions in darkness condition.

  • Electronic cash is used as a payment tool for contents purchase in mobile electronic commerce environment. In order to protect customer`s privacy, we use blind signature. Blind signature has an anonymity property since it does not allow connection between customer`s ID and customer`s message. In this paper, we propose an blind signature scheme using elliptic curve algorithm based on Cap Diffie-Hellman Problem. Proposed scheme efficiently improved against existing blind signature scheme by reducing communication and computation time of the process.

  • This paper presents a new computationally efficient adaptive algorithm for blind signal separation, which is able to recover the narrowband source signals in the presence of cochannel interference without a prior knowledge of array manifold. We derive a new blind signal separation algorithm using the Natural gradient 〔1〕from an information-theoretic approach. The resulting algorithm has the Bussgang property which has been widely used in blind equalization 〔12〕. Extensive computer simulation results comfirm the validity and high performance of the proposed algorithm.

  • In this paper, we consider the detection of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) without channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. Based on the conventional blind cyclic decoder, we propose an enhanced blind cyclic decoder which has higher system performance than the conventional one. Furthermore, the proposed decoder offers low complexity since it does not require the computation of singular value decomposition.

  • A new multichannel blind deconvolution algorithm is proposed for speech mixtures. It employs unidirectional filters and normalization of gradient terms in the frequency domain. The proposed algorithm is shown to be approximately nonholonomic. Thus it provides improved convergence and separation performances without whitening effect for nonstationary sources such as speech and audio signals. Simulations using real world recordings confirm superior performances over existing algorithms and its usefulness for real applications.

  • In the Republic From the national interest in the recent hiring scandals in the public institutions such as the Financial Supervisory Service, Gangwon Land, and so on, people were outraged by the fact that the competition opportunities were not secured although they should be equally secured to compete with anyone with their capabilities in the fair process. Hence, the government made the public institutions blind hiring to be mandatory, which eliminated writing the academic background, GPA, and English score in the application form and selected the new employees only with job competencies in the public institutions in 2017. In 2018, the prosecution did their best for the investigation on hiring scandal with the strong will to cut the scandal upon announcement of 5-year anti-corruption master plan. Amid this controversy, this study tries to suggest the further direction in the hiring military human resources upon introduction of blind hiring system, reviewing the needs to introduce blind hiring system in the military, the governmental guideline according to the mandatory blind hiring in the public institutions, and the application status of modified blind hiring in the military.
