본 논문에서는 학습 기반 압축 센싱을 이용하여 측면 주사 소나 영상의 해상도를 향상하는 초해상도 기법을 다룬다. 딥러닝과 압축 센싱이 접목된 학습 기반 압축 센싱은 구조적인 측면에서 피드-포워드(feed forward) 네트워크 형태이며 학습을 통하여 파라미터들을 자동으로 설정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 초해상도 과정에서 필요한 추가 정보들을 다양한 초기화 방법을 통해 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 모의 실험에서 제안하는 방법은 기존 방식보다 Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR) 및 Structure Similarity Index Measure(SSIM) 지표상 향상된 성능 결과를 나타내었다.

Recently, unmanned systems are largely utilized in various fields due to the persistency and the least operational risk and an unmanned surface vehicle(USV) is the one of the representative application in the naval field. To assign multiple roles to an USV, we developed a sonar system which consists of a forward detecting sonar for the long-range detection, a downward detecting sonar for the small target scan and identification, and a strut type body for mounting sonar systems. In this paper, we described the developed sonar system for USV and the sea test results for verifying system performance. The test results showed that the developed sonar system was able to detect the underwater target about several kilometers away and could recognize a small object at the downside of the sonar system. We expect that the developed sonar system will be easily applied to other unmanned platforms without serious consideration.

Reconstructing underwater geometry in real time with forward-looking sonar is critical for applications such as localization, mapping, and path planning. Geometrical data must be repeatedly calculated and overwritten in real time because the reliability of the acoustic data is affected by various factors. Moreover, scattering of signal data during the coordinate conversion process may lead to geometrical errors, which lowers the accuracy of the information obtained by the sensor system. In this study, we propose a three-step data processing method with low computational cost for real-time operation. First, the number of data points to be interpolated is determined with respect to the distance between each point and the size of the data grid in a Cartesian coordinate system. Then, the data are processed with a nonlinear interpolation so that they exhibit linear properties in the coordinate system. Finally, the data are transformed based on variations in the position and orientation of the sonar over time. The results of an evaluation of our proposed approach in a simulation show that the nonlinear interpolation operation constructed a continuous underwater geometry dataset with low geometrical error.

This paper presents experimental results for the vibration characteristics of the small unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) OPKO 300, which was designed and manufactured by Daewoo ship and Marine Engineering Ltd. The autonomy of UUVs has led to an increase in their use in scientific, military, and commercial areas because their autonomy makes it possible for UUVs to be utilized instead of humans in hazardous missions such as mine countermeasure missions (MCM). Since it is impossible to use devices based on electromagnetic waves to gather information in an underwater environment, only sonar systems, which use sound waves, can be used in underwater environments, and their performance can strongly affect the autonomy of a UUV. Since a thruster system, which combines a motor and propeller in a single structure, is widely used as the propulsion system of a UUV and is mounted on the outside of a UUV’s stern, it can generate vibration, which can be transferred throughout the shell of the UUV from its stern to its bow. The transferred vibration can affect the performance of various sonar systems such as side-scan sonar or forward-looking sonar. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the effect of the transferred vibration of the UUV on the sonar systems. Even if various numerical methods were used to analyze the vibration problem of a UUV, it would be hard to predict the vibration phenomena of a UUV at the initial design stage. In this work, an experimental study using OKPO 300 and an impact hammer was carried out to analyze the vibration feature of a small real UUV in the air. The frequency response function of the vibration based on the experimental results is presented.

본 논문은 해저탐사에서 소나영상 촬영을 위한 무인자율항법(AUSV)시스템 구현에 관한 연구이다. 자율항법 시스템은 선체에 모션센서, DGPS에 의한 현재 경위도 좌표와 목표지 경위도 좌표의 차를 가지고 선체 추진체의 항로를 FFPID 알고리즘으로 제어한다. 실험결과, 목적지 좌표에 대한 제어좌표 오차는 전체 항법거리 1km 에서 6 m 이하로 우수하다. 또한 자율항법 모드에서의 소나영상 촬영 결과물은 유인선 촬영 결과물과의 차이는 12 화소 이하로 전체 영상 차이는 거의 식별할 수 없이 동일하다. 개발된 시스템은 유인선으로 촬영 불가능한 해저 지형에 대한 소나영상 촬영을 위한 새로운 방법으로 활용 가능하다.
