오징어 채낚기 어선의 집어등을 점등한 상태에서의 오징어 군을 어군 탐지기에 의해 관찰하고, 어선 양현의 조획기에 설치된 낚시의 도달 심도를 달리하여 광원 출력 조건별로 조획 시험을 실시하여 어군의 분포 심도를 추정하는 한편 수심별 수중 조도를 측정함으로써 어군이 밀집하여 분포하고 있는 조획 심도에서의 광 환경에 대해서 검토하였다 집어등 점등시 어군 탐지기에 나타난 어군은 낚시 어구 주위를 중심으로 수심 50m까지의 얕은 곳에서 높은 밀도의 반응을 보였으나, 시간이 경과함에 따라 어군 층은 침하하여 수심 $60\~80m$사이에서 안정되었다. 어선의 각 현별 낚시 최선단의 도달 심도를 변화시킨 경우의 조획량은 심도를 90m로 설정한 현측이 60m로 설정한 현보다 많았으나, 조획이 적어진 해뜰 무렵에 광원 출력을 할로겐등 24kW로 절환하여 조업한 후에는 60m 충에서 조획 증가 경향이 현저하게 나타났다. 어군 탐지기와 조획 시험에서 추정된 오징어의 중요한 조획층으로 사료되는 수심 $60\~80m$에서의 수중 조도는 각 광원 출력별 평균 $3.0\times10^{-2}\sim\;3.4\times10^{-2}lx$의 범위에서 분포하였다.

The camera has limitations of poor visibility in underwater environment due to the limited light source and medium noise of the environment. However, its usefulness in close range has been proved in many studies, especially for navigation. Thus, in this paper, vision-based object detection and tracking techniques using artificial objects for underwater robots have been studied. We employed template matching and mean shift algorithms for the object detection and tracking methods. Also, we propose the weighted correlation coefficient of adaptive threshold -based and color-region-aided approaches to enhance the object detection performance in various illumination conditions. The color information is incorporated into the template matched area and the features of the template are used to robustly calculate correlation coefficients. And the objects are recognized using multi-template matching approach. Finally, the water basin experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed techniques using an underwater robot platform yShark made by KORDI.

Schooling behavier to a fishing gear and estimation of the volume of fish school in set net have ~ been studied by making use of such techniques as visual observations, underwater cameras, under- water televison. However, all of these observation techniques are subject to restrictions caused by illumination, underwater visibility, underwater transparent and sea conditions. For the above mentioned reasoa, one of the most effective method by this time become generally known a method using fish finder. In this paper, in order to control the fishing ground of set net effectively and to develope the telemetric fish finder, the experiments for the target strength, underwater shape of fishing gear, schooling behavier and volume of fish school with fish finder were performed at Galgott fishing ground of set net located Keouje Island, 15th-24th July and 18th-20th October in 1985. The results of these experiment showed that a method using fish finder in fishing grOlllld of set net is available for estimating distribution and school size, fish behavier in relation to a fishing gear and underwater shape of fishing gears.

Underwater image enhancement has received considerable attention in last decades, due to the nature of poor visibility and low contrast of underwater images. In this paper, we propose a new automatic underwater image enhancement algorithm, which combines nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) domain enhancement techniques with the mechanism of the human visual system (HVS). We apply the multiscale retinex algorithm based on the HVS into NSCT domain in order to eliminate the non-uniform illumination, and adopt the threshold denoising technique to suppress underwater noise. Our proposed algorithm incorporates the luminance masking and contrast masking characteristics of the HVS into NSCT domain to yield the new HVS-based NSCT. Moreover, we define two nonlinear mapping functions. The first one is used to manipulate the HVS-based NSCT contrast coefficients to enhance the edges. The second one is a gain function which modifies the lowpass subband coefficients to adjust the global dynamic range. As a result, our algorithm can achieve contrast enhancement, image denoising and edge sharpening automatically and simultaneously. Experimental results illustrate that our proposed algorithm has better enhancement performance than state-of-the-art algorithms both in subjective evaluation and quantitative assessment. In addition, our algorithm can automatically achieve underwater image enhancement without any parameter tuning.

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.

In this paper we propose a freeform secondary lens for an LED fishing/working lamp (LFWL). This innovative LED lamp is used to replace the traditional HID fishing lamp, to satisfy the lighting demands of fishing and the on-board activities on fishing boats. To realize the freeform lens's geometry, Gaussian decomposition is involved in our optics-design process for approaching the targeted light intensity distribution curve (LIDC) of the LFWL lens. The simulated results show that the illumination on the deck, on the sea's surface, and underwater shows only small differences between LED fishing/working lamps and HID fishing lamps. Meanwhile, a lighting efficiency of 91% with just one third of the power consumption can be achieved, when the proposed LED fishing/working lamps are used instead of HID fishing lamps.

LED(Light Emitting Diode) 소자는 현대 기술의 발달로 형광등이나 전구보다 수명이 길고 전력소모가 작으며 제어가 쉽다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 LED 소자를 이용한 조명이 많이 사용되고 있다. 최근 LED 소자의 고속응답특성을 이용한 통신기법인 가시광통신(Visible Light Communication, 이하 VLC)이 주목받기 시작하였다. VLC의 경우 전파를 사용하지 않아 주파수 할당이 필요가 없으며, 데이터전송에 ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical band)과 같은 간섭 또한 존재하지 않는다. 그렇기 때문에 VLC에 관한 연구 결과가 많이 나오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 LED 조명을 사용한 VLC와 수중환경에서의 VLC에 대한 survey를 진행하고 활용방법을 살펴보았다.
