The system contains a sound sensor (microphone), computer for processing and sampling the sound, calculating frequency and power of the sound and for communication with a server, server for storing the data computed from the measurement. This system is using Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ as a computer, because it is easy to setup, easy to use and it is low-priced. Heroku, cloud platform, is used as a server for this system, which has a free plan for hosting. All the data calculated from the system, are stored in the server. The current system lacks the ability to be installed anywhere, because of the internet connection and the power supply and only a web application is available. For future work, we plan to solve the power supply problem using batteries and the internet connection problem using SIM cards, as well as introducing a notification/alert system, to send and alert the authorities.","PeriodicalId":308106,"journal":{"name":"2021 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Technologies Conference (ZINC)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121141191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the \"safety dilemma\" of artificial intelligence – the fact that artificial intelligence is needed but undesired by safety standards, poses a challenge.

This process led to the development of advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS). However, vision-based methods often suffer from limited fields of view and difficulty to extract accurate range information which is critical for vehicle detection. Vehicle detection is one of the most important issues for ADAS. The authors show one among many other possible solutions, to improve detection, and that is to rely on several different sensors such as a camera and LiDAR sensors. This paper describes the implementation of a collision-avoidance system (CSA), and the needed time-to-collision (TTC) estimation, using constant velocity model and C++ programming language. The TTC calculation is based on data obtained by tightly coupled LiDAR and camera sensors. In the solution we integrated several key points detectors and, focused on descriptors extraction and matching. As a final step, we used so called, sensor fusion to integrate LiDAR points into camera images and detect object in camera images using deep learning approach. For evaluation, we run several combinations of detectors and descriptors, analyze differences between time to collision estimations and demonstrate the functionality of the best method into an efficient implementation.","PeriodicalId":308106,"journal":{"name":"2021 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Technologies Conference (ZINC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134008375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sentiments drive the selections in services that are correlated with each other. It is hard to grasp the sentiments of consumers when many combinations of options are available. This paper proposed a method to extract preferred services based on consumer behavior with strong correlation values between options in a service. The approach is by mining the association rules that correspond to the business process model. We first formalized a problem for extracting the preferred service model. Then, we proposed an extraction method by pruning the associative rules with more substantial relation using Cook’s distance and visualizing consumer behavior with a process model. Finally, we illustrated the approach of the proposed method and showed that we could extract preference with a higher correlation value compared to the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":308106,"journal":{"name":"2021 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Technologies Conference (ZINC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134006383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering that the embedded computer systems have limited resources, the software needs to be optimized. In this paper, the program memory of the considered software was optimized. The optimization was done using the following methods: introduction of generic functions, extraction of repetitive functions in the header files and dead code elimination. The optimization methods were applied by changing a code fragment written in C programming language. In that way, the program memory optimization method could be applied to all software components (SWCs) using Test Environment Generator (TEG). Afterward, the program code testing was done on a testing board. The results of the testing on board prove the functionality of the optimized program code. The applied methods optimized the memory usage (6.16% reduction) and preserved the functionality of the program code to an appropriate extent.","PeriodicalId":308106,"journal":{"name":"2021 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Technologies Conference (ZINC)","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134288095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposal assumes usage of software agents (called Smarts) running on the central controller, which operates on a given set of devices in a logical area. The proposed approach ensures that the system operates as expected even when without an internet connection. Additionally, the direct connection between smart devices and the central controller ensures much faster response times. To allow easy configuration, each agent is coupled with its own visual representation on mobile applications, in a similar way as devices. As a result, end-users can use the complex control functions on a large device set in a smart home in a very simple way, since the complexity is hidden behind the agents. For the concept validation and testing, pre-developed agents were used, but a future approach may also support a dynamic definition of agents.","PeriodicalId":308106,"journal":{"name":"2021 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Technologies Conference (ZINC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116328321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main feature of such advanced systems is their interaction with the surroundings of the vehicle and its dynamic adaptation to the driving conditions. This paper presents the process of developing a vehicular adaptive front light control system via several key phases. The key phases are software component (SWC) modelling, communication configuration, program code implementation, simulation and testing of the final product.
