인공어초는 수중에 인공적으로 수산생물의 산란 및 서식장, 바다목장, 바다 숲, 해중림 등을 조성하기 위하여 시설하는 각종 구조물을 말하며, 수산물의 안정된 생산기반을 구축하여 어업인의 소득증대에 기여 하고 있다. 인공어초 관리에 있어 사각형 어초의 개수산정은 유지관리에 중요한 부분으로 잠수조사를 실시하는 것이 정확한 방법이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 전국 연안에 실시하는 것은 잠수 인원과 비용, 잠수 여건에 따라 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 기존에 설치되어 있는 사각형 어초에 대하여 멀티빔 수심측량과 사이드스캔소나를 이용하여 체적을 계산하였다. 그리고 체적계수에 따른 어초산정에 대한 개선방안을 제언하고자 한다.

광대역 주파수변조(wide-band FM) 선호를 음원으로 사용하는 Chirp sonar 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 음향반사 자료의 통계학적 처리를 통하여 해저면을 분류하였다. 음향학적 분류변수로서 Chirp 자료의 K-L(Karhunen-Lo$\grave{e}$ve) 변환을 이용하여 계산된 유사도 지수(similarity index)를 고안하였다. 유사도 지수는 근접한 트레이스 자료들에 포함된 공통된 반사신호성분의 양을 지시하므로 해저면 퇴적물의 성분에 따른 음향학적 거침도를 반영한다고 할 수 있다. 유사도 지수는 0에서 1사이의 값을 가지며, 각기 다른 퇴적상을 나타내는 지점에서 획득된 Chirp 자료를 처리한 결과, 퇴적물의 성분이 균질할수록, 입자의 크기가 작을수록, 그리고 연한 퇴적층일수록 증가하는 것을 관측할 수 있었다. 실제의 응용 예로서 제주도 성산포 해역을 이 방법으로 분류하였으며, 그 결과를 검증하기 위해 동일해역에서 획득된 side-scan sonar 자료 및 퇴적물로부터 해석된 해저면의 퇴적상과 비교하였다. 그 결과 음향자료의 유사도 지수에 의해 분류된 해저면은 실제의 퇴적상을 매우 잘 반영할 뿐만 아니라 퇴적물 성분의 특성에 따른 음향반응을 더욱 세밀히 나타내었다. 그러므로 이러한 방법은 음향자료로부터 직접 해저면을 분류하는 지질음향 모델링으로서 매우 효과적이다.

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.

Using multi beam echo sounder, side scan sonar and scuba diving equipment, ceramic type, uneven type and semicircle-ramus type reefs into sandy bottom were ascertained, the depth of submersion in 7.2-10.3m on the coast of Gangneung, East of Korea, forty uneven type artificial reefs(AR) were totally buried into the sandy bottom. Two of five semicircle-ramus type ARs had only of their top area exposed. For most of the 45 ceramic reefs, only the upper 25-150cm of ARs were visible. The burial pattern is different in west and east side of the reefs, where the east side is deeply buried compared to the west side. From these results. it is recommended that sufficient analysis of bottom structure and materials especially in the sandy sea area should be undertaken in order to determine the best type of artificial reefs to be deployed and the best location for depoloyment.

When the 60-ton-class patrol boat '72' of the Korea Coast Guard (KCG) was on duty and she accidentally collided with another patrol boat ('207', 200-ton-class) and sank. A month-long search found a small amount of lost items, but neither the crew nor the ship was found. For the first time in 39 years since the accident, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) searched the boat 72 using the latest integrated geophysical techniques. A number of sonar images presumed to be of a sunken ship was acquired using a combined system of side scan sonar and marine magnetometer, operated at an altitude of approximately 30 m from the seabed. At the same time, a strong magnetic anomaly (100 nT) was detected in one place, indicating the presence of an iron ship. A video survey using a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) confirmed the presence of a shielding part of a personal firearm at the stern of the sunken vessel. Based on these comprehensive data, the sunken vessel discovered in this exploration was assumed to be '72'. This result is meaningful in terms of future ocean exploration and underwater archaeology, as the integrated system of various geophysical methods is an efficient means of identifying objects present in the water.

Accurate measurement of seafloor topography plays a crucial role in developing marine industries such as maritime safety, resource exploration, environmental protection, and coastal management. The seafloor topography is constructed using side scan sonar (SSS) and single beam echosounder (SBES) or multibeam echosounder (MBES), which transmit and receive ultrasound waves through a device attached to a marine survey vessel. However, the use of a sonar system is affected by noise pollution areas, and the single beam has a limited scope of application. At the same time, the multibeam is mainly applicable for depth observation. For these reasons, it is difficult to determine the boundaries and areas of seafloor topography. Therefore, this study proposes a method to improve the backscatter data of multibeam echosounder, which has a relationship with the seafloor quality, by using digital image processing to classify the shape of the underwater surface.

Recently, the needs for the development and application of marine robots are increasing as marine accidents occur frequently. However, it is very difficult to acquire the information by utilizing marine robots in the marine environment. Therefore, the needs for the researches of sensor networks which are composed of underwater, surface and aerial robots are increasing in order to acquire the information effectively as the information from heterogeneous robots has less limitation in terms of coverage and connectivity. Although various researches of the sensor network which is based on marine robots have been executed, all of the underwater, surface and aerial robots have not yet been considered in the sensor network. To solve this problem, a collaborative control method based on the acoustic information and image by the sonars of the underwater robot, the acoustic information by the sonar of the surface robot and the optical image by the camera of the static-floating aerial robot is proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the collaborative control of a MUR(Micro Underwater Robot) with an OAS(Obstacle Avoidance Sonar) and a SSS(Side Scan Sonar), a MSR(Micro Surface Robot) with an OAS and a BMAR(Balloon-based Micro Aerial Robot) with a camera are executed. The test results show the possibility of real applications and the need for additional studies.

Seismic and side scan sonar traverses in the inner part of Gyeonggi bay was completed during 1976 and 1977 to depict the distribution and thickness of holocene sediments. Special attention was given to the locations of sand and gravel resources. The area of sand sediments is about $50km^2$ mostly distributed in outer part of inner bay. Maximum thickness of sand sediments is 40m with the averge of 10-15m. Tidal current prevailing in the bay seems to be the most important agent modifying the distributions and thickness of sediments in the Gyeonggi bay.
