This paper proposes an observation model for a particle filter-based localization using a sonar grid map. The proposed model estimates a predicted observation by considering the properties of a sonar sensor which has a large angular uncertainty. The proposed model searches a grid which has the highest probability to reflect a sonar beam using the following procedures; (1) the reliable area of a single sonar data is determined using the footprint association model; (2) the detection probability of each grid cell in a sonar beam coverage in estimated. The proposed model was applied to the particle filter based localization, and was verified by experiments in indoor environments.

본 연구에서는 무인잠수정의 효과적인 대잠전 수행을 위해, 시나리오 기반의 무인잠수정 소나 센서 배열 선정을 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 먼저, 대잠전 분야에서 무인잠수정의 임무 및 운용개념을 분석하고, 가장 주요한 임무 중 하나인 위험제어(Hold at Risk)를 시뮬레이션 시나리오로 선정하였다. 다음으로, 시뮬레이터 구성요소 모델을 위하여, 플랫폼별(무인잠수정, 표적 잠수함) 운동모델, 음향모델 및 환경모델을 제시하였다. 특히 음향모델에서는 센서 배열에 따른 빔패턴을 기반으로 수동 소나방정식을 이용하여 탐지여부를 판단하였다. 또한, 표적의 방위 및 고각 추정을 위하여 진폭기반 방위 추정법과 위상 모노펄스 추정기법을 각각 적용하였다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 통해 센서 배열 변화에 따른 결과의 경향성이 기본적인 빔패턴 이론과 일치하는 것을 보여주며, 다양한 시나리오에 대한 적용 가능성을 시사한다.

This paper establishes a modeling and simulation procedure for structural response and reliability of a cylindrical array sensor on submarines under the shock generated by underwater explosion. The structural reliability of SONAR is important because the submarine could get out of combat ability by the structural damage of the SONAR upon explosion. A cylindrical array sensor was first modeled using the finite element method. Modal analysis was then performed for the check of the reliability of the modeling. The shock resistance simulations were performed for the responses to the structural shock waves and for the responses to the directly applied underwater shock waves, according to BV-043 and MIL-STD-901D, respectively. The stresses of the structure were evaluated with von-Mises scheme. Vulnerable regions were exposed through mapping the maximum stress to the structural model. Maximum stress of the SONAR was compared with the yield stress of the material to examine the structural reliability.

When a mobile robot moves around autonomously without man-made corrupted bye landmarks, it is essential to recognize the placement of surrounding objects especially for self localization, obstacle avoidance, and target classification and localization. To recognize the environment we use many Kinds of sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors, laser range finder, CCD camera, and so on. Among the sensors, ultra sonic sensors(sonar)are unexpensive and easy to use. In this paper, we analyze the sonar data and propose a method to recognize features of indoor environment. It is supposed that the environments are consisted of features of planes, edges, and corners, For the analysis, sonar data of plane, edge, and corner are accumulated for several given ranges. The data are filtered to eliminate some noise using the Kalman filter algorithm. Then, the data for each feature are compared each other to extract the character is ties of each feature. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method using the sonar data obtained form a sonar transducer rotating and scanning the range information around a indoor environment.

Imaging sonars such as side-scanning sonar or forward-looking sonar are becoming fundamental sensors in the underwater robotics field. However, using sonar images for underwater perception presents many challenges. Sonar images are usually low resolution with inherent speckled noise. To overcome the limited sensor information for underwater perception, we investigated preprocessing methods for sonar images and feature detection methods for a nonlinear scale space. In this paper, we focus on a comparative analysis of (1) preprocessing for sonar images and (2) the feature detection performance in relation to the scale space composition.

The Hull Mounted Sonar Dome housing the sonar sensor array is a ship's structure protruded from ship bottom, which is under turbulent flow. The flow of sonar surface is highly disturbed and turbulent. In this case the wall pressure fluctuations within the turbulent boundary layer are one of the most important flow induced self noise sources of the SONAR system. We investigate the characteristics of the wall pressure fluctuations of the hull mounted sonar dome through the model test in the cavitation tunnel. This paper contains the wall pressure fluctuation spectra at various free stream velocities.

로봇 개발에서 하드웨어를 개발한 후에 테스트하면 많은 시행착오를 겪게 되어 많은 비용이 소요된다. 로봇이 현장과 동일한 로봇 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 로봇을 개발하면 소프트웨어 및 하드웨어의 병행 개발 및 테스트를 통해 개발결과를 예측할 수 있고 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 로봇 시뮬레이션 플랫폼인 마이크로소프트의 로보틱스 개발자 스튜디오(MSRDS)는 하드웨어 로봇이 없이도 기본적인 로봇 프로그래밍을 할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 로봇과 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 MSRDS에서 LRF센서, Bumper센서, IR센서, Sonar센서의 성능을 비교분석하기 위하여 미로 찾기를 수행한다. 센서의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 동일한 조건으로 실험한다. 4가지의 센서중에서 LRF센서가 주행시간, 방향전환횟수, 장애물 충돌횟수면에서 우수한 성능을 보인 반면에 범퍼센서는 가장 성능이 낮았다. IR센서와 Sonar센서는 방향 전환횟수면에서 LRF센서 보다는 낮은 성능을 보였다.

Localization of mobile agent within a sensing network is a fundamental requirement for many applications, using networked navigating systems such as the sonar-sensing system or the visual-sensing system. To fully utilize the strengths of both the sonar and visual sensing systems, This paper describes a networked sensor-based navigation method in an indoor environment for an autonomous mobile robot which can navigate and avoid obstacle. In this method, the self-localization of the robot is done with a model-based vision system using networked sensors, and nonstop navigation is realized by a Kalman filter-based STSF(Space and Time Sensor Fusion) method. Stationary obstacles and moving obstacles are avoided with networked sensor data such as CCD camera and sonar ring. We will report on experiments in a hallway using the Pioneer-DX robot. In addition to that, the localization has inevitable uncertainties in the features and in the robot position estimation. Kalman filter scheme is used for the estimation of the mobile robot localization. And Extensive experiments with a robot and a sensor network confirm the validity of the approach.

In this paper, optimum design of distributed detection is considered for a parallel sensor network system consisting of a fusion center and two passive sonar nodes. AND rule and OR rule are employed as the fusion rules of the sensor network. For the fusion rules, it is shown that a threshold rule of each sensor node has uniformly most powerful properties. Optimum threshold for each sensor is investigated that maximizes the probability of detection under the constraint of a specified probability of false alarm. It is also investigated through numerical experiments how signal strength, false alarm probability, and the distance between two sensor nodes affect the system detection performances.

Turbulent boundary layer noise is already a significant contributor to sonar self noise. For developing acoustic window of sonar system to reduce self noise, a parametric study of design factors of acoustic window is presented. Distance of sensor array from acoustic window, material and damping layer are studied as design factors to influence in the characteristics of the transfer function of self noise. As the result these design factors make change the characteristics of transfer function slightly. Among design factors the location of sensor array is most important parameter in the self noise reduction.
