2014 IEEE 11TH CONSUMER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING CONFERENCE (CCNC) page： 605 - 610 2014

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings) Publisher：IEEE

The present paper proposes a novel multiple-LED-arrays acquisition for an infrastructure-to-vehicle visible light communication (I2V-VLC) using LED arrays (transmitter) and an in-vehicle high-speed image sensor (receiver). In order to achieve a robust detection of LED arrays, we employ the block matching algorithm, which is a way of finding a corresponding position between two successive frames. The proposed method divides a captured image into a number of small domains (blocks) and determines if the LED array is present or absent using the block matching. We perform I2V-VLC experiments with multiple-LED arrays and evaluate the acquisition capability of the proposed method.

Visible light communication (VLC) using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is drawing much attention. There are two types of VLC reception devices, a photodiode and an image sensor. VLC using image sensor is called image sensor based VLC. As the receiver only uses the image sensor pixels that sense LED transmission sources and discards other pixels, including those sensing noise sources, image sensor based VLC is an attractive solution for outdoor mobile applications. However, little evidence is available for channel modeling of image sensor based VLC in mobile outdoor environments, especially for motion modeling of VLC transmitter. In this paper, we propose a motion model of VLC transmitter. In particular, we consider three cases; infrastructure-to-vehicle VLC (I2V-VLC), vehicle-to-infrastructure VLC (V2I-VLC), and vehicle-to-vehicle VLC (V2V-VLC). As a result, we show that the motion model of the VLC transmitter on the captured image for the three aforementioned situations (i.e., I2V-VLC, V2I-VLC, and V2V-VLC) can be expressed in the identical pinhole camera model.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings) Publisher：IEEE

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of binary spatially-modulated space-time (SM-ST) coding in an outdoor image-sensor-based visible light communication (VLC) system. We showed that at the transmission distance where intensity modulated symbols from two different light emitting diodes (LEDs) are detected at one pixel of the image plane of the image sensor, space time (ST) coding enables to decouple the two symbols and to extend error-free transmission distance. We furthermore aim at increasing transmission rate per symbol duration when the spatial resolution is improved when the receiver approaches the LED array of the transmitter, by superimposing space shift keying (SSK) signal with the diagonal and anti-diagonal set of the 2 x 2 matrix onto the LED patterns. We built an experimental testbed with LEDs modulated at 1 kbps and a high-speed camera operating at 1,000 fps. Our experimental results validate that SM-ST coding achieves 30m of the error-free transmission distance for the additional bit based on SSK, without deteriorating the reception quality and range of the space-time coded bits.

Visible light communications (VLC) is the latest optical wireless communications technology that uses low-power light emitting diodes, or LEDs, not only to provide light but also to broadcast data. LEDs are extremely energy-efficient and predicted to become widespread in general lighting application. Because LED is a solid-state lighting device, it can be modulated at high-speed compared with other lighting sources. VLC uses LEDs, which send data by flashing light at speeds undetectable to the human eye. Widespread use of LEDs in traffic applications and growing interest in Intelligent Transport System (ITS) presents an opportunity for VLC. Data transmission using LED traffic lights, LED road illumination, and LED brake lights are typical application. In this paper, an on-going research, road-to-vehicle visible light communication, will be introduced. The LED array, assumed to be an LED traffic light, is used as a transmitter and it sends data to a moving vehicle. By providing data together with a traffic signal that is visible to a driver, a safety driving support can be realized. Finally, the author suggests readers a glimpse of wealth on "dual use of LEDs" and concludes the paper.

This talk introduces visible light communication (VLC) for automotive applications using an image sensor. In particular, vehicle-to-infrastructure visible light communication (V2I-VLC) and vehicle-to-vehicle visible light communication (V2V-VLC) are presented. Previous studies have documented the effectiveness of V2I and V2V communication using radio technology for improving automotive safety. In this talk, I identify characteristics unique to the introduced image sensor based VLC as compared to radio wave technology. The advantages of VCL are twofold: the line-of-sight feature of visible light links and an image sensor that provides not only the VLC function but also vehicle safety applications using image and video processing. We present two on-going image sensors based V2I-VLC and V2V-VLC projects.

Language：Japanese

Noncoherent chaos communications, which do not need to use basis signals (unmodulated carriers) for demodulation, are unique communication systems using characteristics of chaos. However, the communication performance of the noncoherent system is lower as compared with the standard communication systems. Thus, it is important to advance noncoherent system in order to improve its performance. In our previous research, we have proposed a novel error-correcting method using a separation and reconstruction of the chaotic dynamics, which is one of characteristics of chaos. As simulation results, we have confirmed that the advantage gained in BER performance of our error-correcting method is about 2--2.5 dB compared to the conventional one (w/o coding). This paper focuses on a number of transmitting data and a combination of symbols, and analyzes an error-correcting capability for evaluating advantages of the separation and reconstruction of the chaotic dynamics in detail.

Stochastic Resonance(SR) is a nonlinear phenomena in which the Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR) is enhanced by an increase of the noise. By using SR, we can detect the weak signal which cannot detect by the conventional receiver. In this paper, we consider the application of SR to the communication systems. we implement the Stochastic Resonance Receiver using Schmitt Trigger as the Stochastic Resonance system. We evaluate the performance of the weak signal responce and we discuss about the weak signal detection.

20th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems page： - 2013.10

Language：English

In this paper, we focus attention on visible light communication systems using an LED array as a transmitter and a high-speed camera as a receiver for road-to-vehicle communications (R2V-VLC) in intelligent transport systems. To implement R2V-VLC, it is necessary for the receiver to search the target LED array from the captured images (LED array acquisition) before data demodulation. We propose a new approach for LED array acquisition. We focus on spatio-temporal image and spatio-temporal cross-section image and show LED array in the spatio-temporal image has high time-gradient value and low space-gradient value. Using such characteristic gradient values, we propose new LED array acquisition method. As the results of the experiment in driving situation, we can achieve acquisition miss rate = 0%.

In this paper, we focus on a distance estimation scheme using camera. Our distance estimation scheme is based on triangulation. The accuracy of camera based scheme is governed by resolution of a camera, or equivalently the size of pixel. Therefore we introduce phase only correlation (POC) to estimate with subpixel accuracy. As a result of experiment, we will show that our scheme achieves less than 0.3m estimation error at the distance of 60m. By using POC, the resolution of estimation reaches nearly 0.02 pixel, much less than one pixel.
