mmWave based Non-Line-of-Sight Object Localization [Paper], [Dataset]
Role - Project Manager, Dataset Acquisition, Model Development
To prevent fatal accidents due to the sudden appearance of objects in Non-Line-of-Sight regions, this project aims to develop a model for localizing NLoS objects using mmWave with a dataset directly acquired in a test bed that mimics various real road environments.
As similar to the mmWave based Non-Line-of-Sight object localization, this project aims to develop a model for localizing NLoS objects using sound, to prevent fatal accidents due to the sudden appearance of objects in Non-Line-of-Sight regions. The experiments are executed on Acoustic Recognition based Invisible-target Localization (ARIL) Dataset.
Acoustic Recognition based Invisible-target Localization Dataset [Dataset]
Role - Project Manager, Test Bed Design, Ego-Vehicle Design, Construction Management
with National Research Foundation of Korea and Samsung Electro-Mechanics
For the research to detect and localize Non-Line-of-Sight objects, the Acoustic Recognition based Invisible-target Localization (ARIL) dataset is procured to advance the study of a model dedicated to the detection and localization of Non-Line-of-Sight vehicle. The dataset is centered on identifying NLoS vehicles, and encompasses variations in velocity (5, 10, 15, 20 km/h), the direction of travel for NLoS vehicles (left, right), and different spatial arrangements (T-Junction configurations, with and without opposite-side wall).
ARIL dataset is amassed within a carefully constructed test bed designed to mirror the conditions encountered on actual roads. To ensure meticulous ground truth data collection and to encapsulate the entirety of the test bed within a singular view, a 12-megapixel camera equipped with a fisheye lens offering a 185° field of view was utilized as the Bird's Eye View (BEV) Camera. This camera was strategically mounted at an elevation of 7 m above the intersection’s center within each spatial layout. An SUV outfitted with a microphone array, and camera, served as the primary vehicle for data collection. Location of NLoS vehicle was acquired from BEV camera. The total acquired data size is 11.7 TB.
Each scenario is documented through a series of data captures and location of NLoS vehicle: one sound sequence, one BEV image sequence, and one .xlsx file. The audio data was captured at a fidelity of 48,000 Hz, while BEV image data was collected at a frequency of 10 Hz.

Anomaly detection of bonding robots in semiconductor manufacturing [Paper]
Role - Project Manager, Dataset Acquisition, Model Development
with Samsung Electronics
For processes like semiconductor manufacturing, where anomalies are extremely rare but have significant impacts on the overall production process, this project aimed to develop a data augmentation and anomaly detection pipeline using digital twins and neural networks to enhance anomaly control.
Since manufacturing equipment mandatorily utilizes bearings, which exhibit different vibration characteristics during production, this project aims not only to classify the status of machinery but also to estimate the residual value of machinery based on accumulated status by using a neural network with a directly acquired vibration dataset.

Role - Project Manager, Dataset Acquisition, Model Development
with LG Electronics
Considering that anomalies of PCBAs in the mass production process exhibit higher thermal characteristics compared to normal products, this project aimed to develop a neural network as an anomaly detection model for PCBAs by directly acquiring a thermographic image dataset.
