해저면 영상을 취득하기 위해 측면주사소나나 다중빔측심기 외에도 합성개구소나가 상용화되어 널리 사용되고 있으며 국내에서도 예인형 시스템 개발 등 관련 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 고해상도의 합성개구소나 영상을 얻기 위해서는 이를 탑재하고 있는 플랫폼의 운동을 정확하게 추정하는 것이 필요하며 이를 위해 정밀한 수중항법 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 합성개구소나를 탑재하고 있는 플랫폼의 운동 특성에 따라 소나 영상의 왜곡이 얼마나 발생하는지 정량적으로 분석함으로써 요구되는 항법 정확도와 항법센서의 정밀도를 설정하는데 있어서 기준이 되는 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 총 다섯가지의 운동을 고려하고 있으며 정량적 분석을 위해 정규화된 평균 제곱근 오차를 정의한다. 각 운동 특성의 변수값 변화에 따른 오차 분석 수치해석을 통해 yaw and sway 운동이 가장 큰 영상 왜곡을 야기하며 pitch and heave 운동의 영향은 크지 않음을 확인하였다.

The swimming behavior of pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) in the offshore sea cage of the brass fishing net was observed and analyzed by imaging sonar techniques. The cultured fish spent most of the time swimming a circular path along the circular cage wall and continued to swim only clockwise direction without completely changing the swimming direction during the 23-hour observation time. In addition, changed swimming behaviors were divided into four categories: (a) the behavior of a large group temporarily swimming in the opposite (counter clockwise) direction, (b) the behavior of a small group temporarily swimming in a small circular path, (c) the behavior swimming small circular path in the center of the cage, and (d) the behavior of a large group swimming across the center of the cage. The maximum swimming speed of the cultured fish was from 3.5 to 3.8 TL/s, the mode was from 1.2 to 1.4 TL/s and the swimming speed during the day time was faster than at night time. It was confirmed the cultured fish swam not only on the surface but also near the bottom net of the cage during the day, but swam mainly at the upper part of the cage at night.

This paper proposes a method for the acoustic imaging wherein the traditional requirement of the relative movement between the transmitter and target is overcome. This is facilitated through the beamforming acoustic array in the transmitter, in which the target is illuminated by the array at various azimuth and elevation angles without the physical movement of the acoustic array. The concept of beam steering of the acoustic array facilitates the formation of the beam at desired angular positions of azimuth and elevation angles. This paper substantiates that the combination of illumination of the target from different azimuth and elevation angles with respect to the transmitter (through the beam steering of beam forming acoustic array) and the beam steering at multiple frequencies (through SF) results in enhanced reconstruction of images of the target in the underwater scenario. This paper also demonstrates the possibility of reconstruction of the image of a target in underwater without invoking the traditional algorithms of Digital Image Processing (DIP). This paper comprehensively and succinctly presents all the empirical formulae required for modelling the acoustic medium and the target to facilitate the reader with a comprehensive summary document incorporating the various parameters of multi-disciplinary nature.

소나 영상 시뮬레이션은 실시간 처리를 위해 병렬처리를 사용하여 연산성능을 증대시키고 있다. 하지만 모듈 간 병렬처리, 영상처리 알고리즘, 방대한 데이터 처리와 같은 시뮬레이션에 적용되는 작업은 성능향상을 위한 최적의 연산장치와 병렬처리 기법이 달라 실시간 처리를 위한 최적화가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 소나 영상 시뮬레이션의 개발을 위해 연산장치 및 병렬처리 기법에 따른 기술을 분류하고 실제 적용된 사례들을 소개한다.

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.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.

The fish influx and behavioral properties at a set-net off Goseong, South Korea were investigated using an imaging sonar. As a result, the average influx of fish was 33.9% at day time and 66.1% at night time, respectively, which indicated that a majority of fish entered into a playground in the set-net at night. The fish behavioral properties such as target (fish) length, range, orientation and major-axis angle were examined and compared among survey dates (4, 5, and 6 June 2019) using the statistical analysis tool (analysis of variance, ANOVA). The behavioral properties presented differently sometime of survey dates. This is preparatory study to support fish behavior properties in a set-net. It is expected that more elaborated behavioral information of fishes in the set-net is beneficial for designing and deploying a set-net fishing gear as well as general fish behavior research in the future.

기존의 예인식으로 운용하는 사이드스캔소나의 경우 조사 시 사용자가 원하는 단면 조사에 어려움이 있어 수중구조물 전동 지그가 개발되었지만, 전동지그를 사용한 음파촬영방법의 경우 보트와 소나가 일체 거동하기 때문에 파랑에 의한 보트 롤링현상, 보트운전자의 운용미숙 등으로 인한 음파영상의 흔들림발생 등, 작업환경에 따른 여러 가지 문제로 인하여 데이터의 왜곡이 발생하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 사이드스캔소나의 수중조사를 위한 장비운용 시 발생하는 영상의 흔들림을 해결하기 위해, 흔들림 보정센서를 부착하고 흔들림 보정 알고리즘을 개발하여 흔들림보정이 가능하도록 프로그램을 보완하였다. 또한, 소나 데이터 해상도의 향상 정도를 검증하기 위하여, 현장조사를 통해 흔들림 보정 전 후 음파영상을 수집하고 손상 의심부에 잠수사를 투입하여 실제 손상길이 및 수심을 측정하여 취득한 음파영상 데이터의 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 향후 사이드스캔소나를 활용한 구조물의 수중부 및 하상면 음파영상 촬영기법의 발전에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
