Experimental work in underwater acoustic communications using passive phase conjugation has shown that the demodulation error depends on the relative drift rate between the source and receiver [Rouseff et al., IEEE J. Oceanic Eng. 26, 821-831 (2001)]. The observed effect involves the mismatch between the initial impulse response and the subsequent response after the source or receiver has changed locations. In the present work, the effect of drifting source is analyzed by numerical simulations and compared to the experimental results. The communications bit error rate is qualified as a function of drift rate, drifting direction, and source-receiver range.

현재 많은 구조물들이 수중에 건설되고 있으나. 수중환경은 지상과 비교하여 다른 매질로 이루어져 있기 때문에 수중구조물의 측정이 어려운 실정이다. 일반적으로 수중 구조물의 측정 방법은 줄자나, 깊이 게이지, 음향 위치시스템 등을 사용한다. 그러나, 줄자는 수중에서 정확한 장력을 가하기가 어렵기 때문에 정확한 거리를 측정하기 어렵고, 깊이 게이지는 설치에 장시간이 걸리는 단점이 있으며, 음향위치시스템은 제한된 공간에서 밖에 작업을 할 수 없고, 가격이 고가이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 첫째, 물-유리-공기와 같은 다중매질에서 광선의 경로를 이해하며 둘째, 현장에서 카메라 검정을 실시하여 내부표정요소를 비교하였다. 셋째, 큐브를 이용한 정확도 실험을 통해 사진측량을 수중대상물에 적용할 수 있는지의 여부를 알아보고, 마지막으로 교각모형과 하상의 수중대상물에 대해 수중사진측량을 수행하였다. 실험결과 수중 구조물과 수중지형에 수중사진측량을 적용하는 것이 가능하다는 결론을 얻었다.

The good sea-keeping capability of the SWATH(Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ship has been attractive for research or surveillance vessels. Especially, for the naval ships accomplishing the underwater acoustic missions, it is necessary to access and minimize the underwater radiated noise level generated by the ships. Therefore, acoustic signature management and control are very important topics for these vessels. Underwater radiation pattern in the low frequency range is dominated by the tonals from the vibration of onboard machinery. In this work, the radiated noise level generated by the propulsion machine in the submerged hull is predicted using the transfer function technique and the hull transfer function for the submerged hull is determined by analyzing the longitudinal/circumferential stiffened infinitely long cylindrical shell and considering the empirical database of the previous vessels. It is confirmed that the transfer function technique can give useful information for identifying the noise source and estimating its contribution to the total radiatied noise level.

Recently, research on Media Access Control (MAC) techniques for underwater acoustic communication has been conducted actively. For successful acoustic communication in underwater conditions, development of environmentally adaptive MAC techniques, which is taking narrow bandwidth, distance, depth, noise level, salinity, multipath and etc into account, is an especially important work. In this paper, knowledge based system is introduced not only to obtain adaptive and optimal communication parameters but also increase network efficiency and availability by requesting change of MAC techniques based on decisions from knowledge-based system Smart Decision Block (SDB). Computer simulations were also conducted to verify the performance of the proposed system in underwater conditions.

In this work results from an underwater experiment on flow-induced noise in the interior of a towed body generated from a surrounding turbulent boundary layer are presented. The measurements were performed with a towed body under open sea conditions at towing depths below 100 m and towing speeds ranging from 2.4 m/s to 6.2 m/s (4 kn to 12 kn). Focus is given in the experiments to the relation between (outer) wall pressure fluctuations and the (inner) hydroacoustic near-field on the reverse side of a flat plate. The plate configuration consists of a sandwich structure with an (thick) outer polyurethane layer supported by an inner thin layer from fibre-reinforced plastics. Parameters of the turbulent boundary layer are estimated in order to analyse scaling relations of wall-pressure fluctuations, interior hydroacoustic noise, and the reduction of pressure fluctuations through the plate.

Underwater images are very much different from images taken on land, due to the presence of a higher disturbance ratio caused by the presence of water medium between the camera and the target object. These distortions and noises result in unclear details and reduced quality of the output image. An underwater image restoration method is proposed in this paper, which uses blurriness information, background light neutralization information, and red-light intensity to estimate depth. The transmission map is then estimated using the derived depth map, by considering separate attenuation coefficients for direct and backscattered signals. The estimated transmission map and estimated background light are then used to recover the scene radiance. Qualitative and quantitative analysis have been used to compare the performance of the proposed method against other state-of-the-art restoration methods. It has been shown that the proposed method can yield good quality restored underwater images. The proposed method has also been evaluated using different qualitative metrics, and results have shown that method is highly capable of restoring underwater images with different conditions. The results are significant and show the applicability of the proposed method for underwater image restoration work.

Korean peninsula has the most mountainous areas such as mountains and hilly country, and it is surrounded by the sea on all sides but one. In this respect, a large scaled construction works have frequently been conducted. However, it is not easy to porform a large scale blasting work without giving any harm to houses or facilities nationwide. Therefore, blasting work becomes more closely related to maintenance thing due to the development of the downtown or a large structure for key facilities. Many researches on blast in the open space and tunnel blasting have been conducted. On the contrary, research on underwater blasting operations is comparatively scanty even though much more necessity of marine development is required. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of underwater blasting operations and to make a comparative study with blast in the open space. As a result of examining into the characteristics during underwater blasting operations, the around oscillation in case of underwater blasting operations shows significantly low compared to that in case of blast in the open space, and this means that much more cautious altitude must be taken in designing underwater blasting operations compared to the design of blast In the open space. As a result of analysis on the difference between a square root and a cube root In the equation of estimating oscillations in the actual site, it is shown that it is shown to apply a square root for the estimation of oscillation at 60 meters in case of underwater blasting operations and at 22 meters case of general blast in the open space.

Purpose: In order to accurately reach an underwater projectile to a target point, reliable INS and accurate arrangement of INS between master and slave INS is paramount. Unlike terrestrial and aerial environments, underwater projectile will operates in a restricted environment where location information cannot be received or sent through satellites. In this report, we review the factors affecting the transfer alignment of master and slave INS, as well as how to improve the positional error between INS through improved transfer alignment algorithms. Methods: In this work, we propose an improvement algorithm and verify it through simulation and driving test. The simulation confirmed the difference in the transfer alignment azimuth by fitting the MINS and SINS indoors, displacement in posture, and the process of transfer alignment between MINS and SINS through a driving test to confirm algorithm can improve the arrangement. Results: According to this study, reason for the error in the transfer alignment between MINS/SINS is the factors of the system where movements such as roll, pitch, yaw are not inter locked in real time due to the delay in transmit/receive system. And confirm that the improved algorithm has a desirable effect on accuracy. Conclusion: Through this work, it is possible to identify ways to improve the accuracy of underwater projectiles to reach their target points under various underwater environments and launch condition.

국내에서 적용되는 수중발파는 교량의 기초를 위한 수중 우물통 발파와 항만의 수로 증심 또는 준설을 위하여 적용되고 있다 그 중 교각의 기초를 위한 우물통 발파는 우물통내 물을 인위적으로 배수시켜 건조한 상태에서의 천공과 장약을 실시한 후 물을 다시 채운 후 수중에서의 발파를 수행하고 있어 전체적인 작업이 일반 노천발파와 동일하다 할 수 있다. 그러나 항만의 수로 증심과 준설을 위한 수중 발파는 수중 천공이 가능하도록 고안된 바지선을 이용하여 수중에서 천공과 장약 발파 작업이 이루어지는 특수성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 일반 터널이나 벤치발파와는 다르게 장약의 방법과 결선의 방법에 주의를 기울이지 않으면 수압에 의한 사압 등 어려운 조건하에서 불발이 야기될 수 있다. 본 사례연구는 국내 부산항 증심 준설공사에서 수중발파의 특수성을 고려하여 다이너마이트 (메가마이트 I)를 이용한 수중 발파의 장약량 선정과 파이프를 이용한 장약의 방법, 그리고 TLD를 이용한 기폭시스템이 수면위에서 기폭 될 수 있도록 부이를 이용한 결선방법을 적용하여 수중발파를 실시하고 사례별 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 수중발파 장약량 설계에 따른 지발당장약량에 따른 진동의 예측과 실 계측을 통하여 예측 진동식의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 장약의 방법과 결선방법에 따라 발생될 수 있는 불발을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 최적발파 효과와 안전한 발파를 수행하기 위하여, 천공경은 150mm이상, 화약은 고성능 수중 다이너마이트(메가마이트 II), 그리고 뇌관은 비전기뇌관을 적용하는 것이 가장 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

For underwater vehicles, the use of sensors such as cameras and laser scanners is limited by the difference in environment compared to robots designed to work on dry land. In underwater environments, if use is made of sound signals, valuable information can be obtained. The most important application is the localization of underwater sound sources. The estimated location of a sound source can be used to control underwater robots or submarines. Thus, the purpose of this research is to estimate the source's direction and location in a noisy underwater environment. The direction of the sound source is obtained using two hydrophones. Furthermore, if we assume that the robot or sound source is moving, the location of the sound source is estimated using more than two estimated directions. The feasibility of the developed algorithm is examined by experiments in a water tank and in the ocean.
