Abstract

In this paper, we propose hidden object detection system using parametric array based on acoustic signal that is harmless to human body. A transmit signal of the proposed detection system uses a high directive chirp signal generated from parametric array phenomenon, which uses technique to improve a signal to noise (SNR) of a received signal and a distance resolution trough the dechirp processing. The transmit sensor array is constructed as $8{\times}2$ and has a horizontal beam width of $7^{\circ}$ and vertical beam width of $26^{\circ}$. To verify the detection and visualization of the proposed system, a 2-axis driving control system based on linear stage was constructed, and A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan experiments was addressed for hidden object. From experimental results, we detected and visualized the hidden bronze plate and pipe by cloth and the visualized shapes was confirmed. Especially, the obtained errors was $0.015m^2$ for bronze plate, and $0.046m^2$ for pipe.

본 논문에서는 은폐 물체 탐지를 위해 인체에 무해한 음향신호 중 파라메트릭 배열을 이용한 음향 탐지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 탐지 시스템은 파라메트릭 배열 현상으로부터 생성되는 고 지향성 Chirp 신호를 송신신호로 사용하고, Dechirp 처리 과정을 통해 수신신호의 신호 대 잡음비를 개선하여 거리 분해능을 향상시키는 기법을 사용한다. 제안된 파라메트릭 배열 시스템의 송신센서는 $8{\times}2$ 배열로 구축하였으며, 센서 배열의 빔 폭은 수평방향 약 $7^{\circ}$와 수직방향 약 $26^{\circ}$를 형성한다. 제안된 시스템을 검증하기 위해 물체 탐지 및 가시화를 위한 2축 구동 제어 선형 스테이지를 구축하였으며, 이를 이용하여 은폐된 물체에 대한 A-scan, B-scan 및 C-scan 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 천에 은폐된 동판과 파이프를 탐지하고 형상을 확인하였으며, 가시화된 형상에서 동판은 $0.015m^2$, 파이프는 $0.046m^2$의 오차를 보여주었다.
