In this paper, we show a simultaneous transmission of underwater optical wireless power transfer and underwater optical wireless communication. A laser diode is used for electric-to-optic conversion at the transmitter and a solar cell is used for optic-to-electric conversion at the receiver. We optimized the transmitter and receiver for the best performance. The laser diode is a 100-mW laser diode and showed a conversion efficiency of 18.5%. The experimental results showed a 0.33-% DC-to-DC underwater power transfer efficiency at 5 m and a data rate of 100 kbps at 1 m.

최근 수중 통신에 대한 관심이 급증함과 동시에 수중에서 음성, 영상과 같은 멀티미디어 데이터 전송에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 발맞춰 수중 통신에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 본 논문에서도 수중 통신 모뎀에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 70 kHz의 초음파를 이용하는 진폭 편이 변조 방식의 수중 음향 통신 모뎀을 구현하고 구현한 모뎀의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험은 경기도 양평 양수리에 위치한 북한강에서 이루어졌으며, 실험을 통해 전송 거리 50 m, 전송 속도 200 bps, BER 성능 $1{\times}10^{-3}$ 의 결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 수중에 존재하는 몰입형 에이전트의 움직임을 사실적으로 표현하고 수중 오브젝트들과의 상호작용에서 나타나는 외력을 시각적으로 표현할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다. Unity3D와 HTC Vive를 이용해 사용자의 움직임을 추적하고 수중 물리적 요소인 부력, 저항력, 매그너스 효과를 몰입형 에이전트에 적용시켜 사용자로 하여금 수중에 작용하는 외력을 사실적으로 인지할 수 있게 한다.

Underwater sensor network has attracted more and more attention from the networking research community recently. Most of traditional studies focus on the topology with a single gateway. Underwater sensor network consists of a variable number of sensors and multi-gateway to ensure the reliability of the network. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol that can reduce collisions among sensor nodes and improve QoS(Quality of Service) for underwater sensor network with multi-gateway. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme through simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing MAC protocol.

The present domestic underwater and ocean facilities management depends on analysis with the naked eye. This study performs quantitative analysis to improve conventional methods, analyze spatial situation of underwater facilities. This research is divided into two steps; underwater image distortion correction and image mosaic step. First, underwater image distortion correction step is for the production of underwater target, calculates the correction parameters, and then developed the method that convert the original image point to whose distortion is corrected. Second step is for the obtaining pipe images installed in the underwater, corrects the distortion, and then transforms a coordinates of the correction pipe image. After coordinate transformation, we make the mosaic image using the singularities. As a result, when we measure the distance between pipe and underwater ground and compare with calculation value on mosaic image, it is showed that RMSE is 0.3cm.

It is difficult to test a detection system in underwater acoustics channel environments. The system can be evaluated by using simulation analysis tool. In this paper, a simulation tool is proposed to analyze the effectiveness of underwater acoustics detection based on database for real environments. First, the underwater environment is built based on HYCOM underwater environment database. Then, a multipath characteristic is considered through calculating underwater acoustics propagation path/pressure based on the ray theory. Also, hydrophone thermal noise and underwater ambient noise are considered to reflect underwater noise characteristics.

해양에서 음파를 사용하여 수중통신을 시도할 경우 해양매질은 음향 도파관(acoustic waveguide)의 역할을 하게 되고, 이 경우 해양환경의 변동성과 그에 따른 음파와 매질의 간섭에 의해 수중통신 채널의 변동성이 발생한다. 수중음향 채널은 대역 제한 채널이면서 잔향음 제한 채널이고 강한 도플러 변이 채널이므로 수신된 통신 신호는 육상통신에 비해 심한 인접 심볼간 간섭(intersymbol interference)과 위상변이를 가지게 된다. 따라서 수중통신을 시도함에 있어 이러한 해양환경 변동성과 그에 따른 수중음향 채널 변동에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문은 수중통신 시스템 구성에 도움을 줄 수 있도록 수중통신 채널에 영향을 미치는 해양 매질의 기본적 특성에 대해 소개하고 수중통신 채널과의 상관성 및 환경 변동성에 따른 통신채널의 변동성에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

The Navy is trying to develop a sonar-operation strategy that efficiently searches for underwater targets. To develop an efficient sonar-operation strategy, a simulation system, which can analyze the efficiency of various operation strategies, is needed. The simulation executes the strategical operation by collecting information of sea environment, destroyer, sonar, and target. Also, it should be able to provide diverse information according to its progression. In this study, the simulation system that can evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of the search strategy for underwater targets in different environments was designed and developed. The simulation system was developed, utilizing the sonar equation and the lateral-range-curve, and it portrays many patterns of realistic movements of a target. This system will contribute to developing and improving efficient sonar-operation strategies to find underwater targets in the future.

In this paper, we design a navigation filter for an underwater glider. Underwater gliders are low-cost, reusable, and can be used for a long time. Two types of filters are designed considering characteristics such as small size, low cost, and low power. The navigation filter estimates the reference velocity of the underwater glider's body frame based on the minimum sensor output. The sensor configuration of the first filter consists of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, and a depth sensor. the second filter include extra a gyroscope in the same configuration. The estimated velocity is fused with the attitude, converted into the velocity of the navigation frame and finally the position is estimated. To analyze the performance of the proposed filter, analysis was performed using Monte Carlo numerical analysis method, and the results were analyzed with standard deviation (1σ). Standard deviations of each filter's position error are 334.34m, 125.91m.
