Abstract

Maritime object detection systems, which detects small maritime obstacles such as fish farm buoys and visualizes distance and direction, is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal to compensate for errors caused by hull motion, but there is a limit to distance error corrections necessitated by the vertical movement of the camera and the maritime object due to wave motions. Therefore, in this study, the distance error of maritime object detection systems caused by the movement of the water surface according to the external environment is analyzed and corrected using average filter and moving average filter. Random numbers following a Gaussian standard normal distribution were added to or subtracted from the image coordinates to reproduce the rise or fall of the buoy under irregular waves. The distance calculated according to the change of image coordinates, the predicted distance through the average filter and the moving average filter, and the actual distance measured by laser distance meter were compared. In phases 1 and 2, the error rate increased to a maximum of 98.5% due to the changes of image coordinates due to irregular waves, but the error rate decreased to 16.3% with the moving average filter. This error correction capability was better than with the average filter, but there was a limit due to failure to respond to the distance change. Therefore, it is considered that use of the moving average filter to correct the distance error of the maritime object detection system will enhance responses to the real-time distance change and greatly improve the error rate.

양식장 부표 등과 같은 해상의 소형 장애물을 탐지하고 거리와 방위를 시각화시켜 주는 해상물체탐지시스템은 선체운동으로 인한 오차를 보정하기 위해 3축 짐벌이 장착되어 있지만, 파도 등에 의한 카메라와 해상물체의 상하운동으로 발생하는 거리오차를 보정하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외부환경에 따른 수면의 움직임으로 발생하는 해상물체탐지시스템의 거리오차를 분석하고, 이를 평균필터와 이동평균필터로 보정하고자 한다. 가우시안 표준정규분포를 따르는 난수를 이미지 좌표에 가감하여 불규칙파에 의한 부표의 상승 또는 하강을 재현하였다. 이미지 좌표의 변화에 따른 계산거리, 평균필터와 이동평균필터를 통한 예측거리 그리고 레이저 거리측정기에 의한 실측거리를 비교하였다. phase 1,2에서 불규칙파에 의한 이미지 좌표의 변화로 오차율이 최대 98.5%로 증가하였지만, 이동평균필터를 사용함으로써 오차율은 16.3%로 감소하였다. 오차보정 능력은 평균필터가 더 좋았지만 거리변화에 반응하지 못하는 한계가 있었다. 따라서 해상물체탐지시스템 거리오차 보정을 위해 이동평균필터를 사용함으로써 실시간 거리변화에 반응하고 오차율을 크게 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
