    Abstract: The present disclosure provides is a method and device for accurately estimating a pose of a charging socket of an electric vehicle regardless of a shape of the charging socket, so that an electric vehicle charging robot may precisely move a charging connector toward the charging socket of the electric vehicle and couple the charging connector to the charging socket. According to an aspect of an exemplary embodiment, a method of estimating the pose of the charging socket of an electric vehicle includes: acquiring an RGB image and a depth map of the charging socket; detecting a keypoint of the charging socket based on the RGB image; deriving a first estimated pose of the charging socket based on the depth map; and deriving a second estimated pose of the charging socket based on the keypoint of the charging socket and the first estimated pose.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of detecting a position of a vehicle such as an electric vehicle (EV) using a camera to determine whether the EV may be parked or located in a proper position. The vehicle position detection method, which may be performed by a device comprising a processor, includes: acquiring an original image of a vehicle from a camera; converting the original image into a bird's eye view image; detecting a bounding box associated with of the vehicle in the bird's eye view image by using the original image and the bird's eye view image; projecting the bird's-eye view image including the bounding box into a plane parallel with a ground to generate a projection image; and estimating a distance to the vehicle from a predetermined reference point or an orientation of the vehicle with respect to a predetermined reference line.

    Abstract: A membrane humidifier for a fuel cell is provided and includes a plurality of wet air channels and dry air channels and a cooling channel. The plurality of wet air channels and dry air channels are disposed across a moisture exchange membrane. The cooling channel is adjacently disposed across a wet air channel and a cooling channel separator to condense wet air that passes through the wet air channel.
