  • Numerical simulation technique has been developed to calculate microwave backscattering from water surface. The simulation plays a role of a substitute for experiments. Validation of the simulation was shown by comparing with experimental results. Water area observations by microwave radar have been simulated to evaluate algorithms and systems. Furthermore, the simulation can be used to understand microwave scattering mechanism on the water surface. The simulation has applied to the various methods for water area observations, and the utilizations of the simulation are introduced in this paper. In the case of fixed radar, we show following examples, 1. Radar image with a pulse Doppler radar, 2. Effect of microwave irradiation width and 3. River observation (Water level observation). In addition, another application (4.Synthetic aperture radar image) is also described. The details of the applications are as follows. 1. Radar image with a pulse Doppler radar: A new system for the sea surface observation is suggested by the simulation. A pulse Doppler radar is assumed to obtain radar images that display amplitude and frequency modulation of backscattered microwaves. The simulation results show that the radar images of the frequency modulation is useful to measure sea surface waves. 2. Effect of microwave irradiation width: It is reported (Rheem[2008]) that microwave irradiation width on the sea surface affects Doppler spectra measured by a CW (Continuous wave) Doppler radar. Therefore the relation between the microwave irradiation width and the Doppler spectra is evaluated numerically. We have shown the suitable condition for wave height estimation by a Doppler radar. 3. River observation (Water level observation): We have also evaluated algorithms to estimate water current and water level of river. The same algorithms to estimate sea surface current and sea surface level are applied to the river observation. The simulation is conducted to confirm the accuracy of the river observation by using a pulse Doppler radar. 4. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image: SAR images are helpful to observe the global sea surface. However, imaging mechanisms are complicated and validation of analytical algorithms by SAR images is quite difficult. In order to deal with the problems, SAR images in oceanic scenes are simulated.

  • This study presents a modified scheme for the radar image simulation of sea waves. A simulated radar image was obtained by taking into account the dot product of the directed vector from the radar and the normal vector of the sea surface. Moreover, to calculate the radar image, we used the radar received power and radar cross section. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the wave spectrum from field data was utilized to obtain the simulated sea waves. The radar image was simulated using numerically generated sea waves. The wave statistics from the simulation agrees comparatively with those of the original field data acquired by real radar measurements.

  • Modeling of artificial targets in Synthetic Aperture radar (SAR) mainly simulates radar signals reflected from the faces and edges of the 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) model with a ray-tracing method, and modeling of the clutter on the Earth's surface uses a method of distinguishing types with similar distribution characteristics through statistical analysis of the SAR image itself. In this paper, man-made targets on the surface and background clutter on the terrain are integrated and made into a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud scatterer model, and SAR image were created through computational signal processing. The results of the SAR Stripmap image generation of the actual automobile based SAR radar system and the results analyzed using EM modeling or statistical distribution models are compared with this 3D point cloud scatterer model. The modeling target is selected as an bridge because it has the characteristic of having both water surface and ground terrain around the bridge and is also a target of great interest in both military and civilian use.

  • 최근 서울, 부산, 울산 등에서 도시 돌발홍수가 빈번히 발생하고 있고 이에 따른 인명 손실 및 재산 피해가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 집중 호우의 대부분은 저고도 대기에서 생성 및 발달되며, 소멸까지의 시간은 2-3 시간에 불과하여 기존의 우리나라 수문기상 관측시스템은 이러한 유형의 강우량 예측에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 기상, 재난 관련 정부 기관들이 저고도 수문기상 관측을 위한 도시형 X-밴드 레이더 네트워크 구축을 계획하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 그보다 선행하여 돌발성 수문기상 재해연구를 위해 한국건설기술연구원에서 도입한 X-band 이중 편파 레이더 시스템을 이용하여 보다 간단하고 정확한 재난 감시 및 예경보 시스템을 개발하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 추정된 정량적 강수량을 모니터링 하여 도시 지역의 돌발홍수를 자동으로 경고하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 Google 어스 플랫폼을 사용하여 정확한 3D QPE-GIS 매칭 기법을 개발함으로써, 심각한 수문기상 현상이 발생하는 정확한 위치를 추적하고 직관적인 경보서비스를 가능케 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 경보시스템은 레이더 데이터 분석도구, 위험결정 도구 및 위험경고 표시 도구의 세 가지 기술로 구성된다. 제안된 돌발홍수 경보시스템은, 시뮬레이션을 통해 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 정량적 강수량이 계산되며, GIS 상에서 레이더 반사도 및 강우강도가 3차원 이미지 형태로 표시된다. 그런 다음 Google 어스에서 3D 큐브 블록으로 대표되는 강수량이 동시에 누적표출 되도록 설계되었다. 또한 분석된 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 지역별 누적 강수량을 업데이트 및 모니터링하고 기 설정된 돌발홍수 발생 한계치(trigger)에 도달하면 홍수경보 메시지를 표시한다. 향후, 제안된 경보시스템에 대한 기술적 도구를 개선하면서 대규모 수문기상 레이더 네트워크로 광범위한 강우를 모니터링하면 전국적인 돌발홍수 경보시스템으로 확대가 가능하다.

  • Helicopter-related collision accidents with structures mostly occur at landing, especially in a limited visibility environment, which necessitates some secondary equipment like a radar that can generate stationary clutter image. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that makes an image of stationary ground clutter in two dimensional range and azimuth angle domain. We present a mathematical model for the received signals from each clutter patch in the iso range ring and analyze their clutter and Doppler characteristics, assuming that a helicopter-borne radar has a rotational antenna. We propose a filter structure, which suppresses side lobe signal components while extracting a main lobe signal component, and suggest a solution for a problem stemmed from the filtering process. Finally, by conducting a simulation we show the performance of the suggested imaging algorithm on a two dimensional virtual scenario of the topographic clutter.

  • When a radar tracks the warhead of a ballistic missile, decoys of a ballistic missile put a heavy burden on the radar resource management tracking the targets. To reduce this burden, it is necessary to be able to separate the signal of the warhead from the received dynamic radar cross section (RCS) signal on the radar. In this paper, we propose the method of separating the dynamic RCS of each target from the received signal by the Hough transform which extracts straight lines from the image. The micro motion of the targets was implemented using a 3D CAD model of the warhead and decoys. Then, we calculated the dynamic RCS from the 3D CAD model having micromotion and verified the performance by applying the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can separate the signals of the warhead and decoys at the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10dB.

  • To enhance the accuracy of sinkhole detection using GPR, this study derived a convolutional neural network that can optimally extract sinkhole characteristics from GPR B-scan grayscale images. The pre-trained convolutional neural network is evaluated to be more than twice as effective as the vanilla convolutional neural network. In pre-trained convolutional neural networks, fast feature extraction is found to cause less overfitting than feature extraction. It is analyzed that the top-1 verification accuracy and computation time are different depending on the type of architecture and simulation conditions. Among the pre-trained convolutional neural networks, InceptionV3 are evaluated as most robust for sinkhole detection in GPR B-scan grayscale images. When considering both top-1 verification accuracy and architecture efficiency index, VGG19 and VGG16 are analyzed to have high efficiency as the backbone for extracting sinkhole feature from GPR B-scan grayscale images. MobileNetV3-Large backbone is found to be suitable when mounted on GPR equipment to extract sinkhole feature in real time.
