In this paper, a low-cost dynamic measurement system using the RGB-depth camera, Microsoft Kinect® v2, is proposed for measuring time-varying free surface motion of liquid dampers used in building vibration mitigation. Various experimental studies are conducted consecutively: performance evaluation and validation of the Kinect® v2, real-time monitoring using the Kinect® v2 SDK(software development kits), point cloud acquisition of liquid free surface in the 3D space, comparison with the existing video sensing technology. Utilizing the proposed Kinect® v2-based measurement system in this study, dynamic behavior of liquid in a laboratory-scaled small tank under a wide frequency range of input excitation is experimentally analyzed.

본 연구에서는 건물 실내 공간 정보 획득을 위해 Microsoft사의 Kinect® v2를 활용한 point cloud 기법을 도입하였다. 카메라로 취득한 2차원의 투영 공간 이미지 픽셀 좌표를 각 카메라의 보정을 거쳐 3차원 이미지 변환하며 이를 토대로 공간 정보를 구현하였다. 기준점을 중심으로 360° 회전하여 취득한 3차원 이미지를 통해 거리 측정이 불가한 기존의 2차원 이미지의 한계를 개선하였으며, 이 과정을 통해 얻은 point cloud를 통해 3차원 map을 형성하였다. 형성된 3차원 map은 기존의 공간정보 융·복합을 위한 센서와 비슷한 수준의 측정 효율을 가지면서 동시에 렌즈 왜곡 현상에 대한 후처리 과정을 통해 공간 정보를 정확하게 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 측정한 결과를 2D 도면과 실제 공간 및 구조부재의 길이 및 위치 등과 비교하여 검증하였다.

Recently, the safety in vehicle also has become a hot topic as self-driving car is developed. In passive safety systems such as airbags and seat belts, the system is being changed into an active system that actively grasps the status and behavior of the passengers including the driver to mitigate the risk. Furthermore, it is expected that it will be possible to provide customized services such as seat deformation, air conditioning operation and D.W.D (Distraction While Driving) warning suitable for the passenger by using occupant information. In this paper, we propose robust vehicle occupant detection algorithm based on RGB-Depth-Thermal camera for obtaining the passengers information. The RGB-Depth-Thermal camera sensor system was configured to be robust against various environment. Also, one of the deep learning algorithms, OpenPose, was used for occupant detection. This algorithm is advantageous not only for RGB image but also for thermal image even using existing learned model. The algorithm will be supplemented to acquire high level information such as passenger attitude detection and face recognition mentioned in the introduction and provide customized active convenience service.
