Abstract

In this paper, we research an image processing method to provide high-capacity image data in real time through a tactical data link and propose a design applicable to the naval combat management system. Image transmission in a tactical data link is important tactically, but real-time performance is limited using existing transmission methods because Image data is larger than other tactical messages. The proposed method improves real-time performance through image processing before and after image transmission, it was designed to improve transmission speed by reducing image data and transmitting the tactical images obtained from naval combat management system, and to ensure that there are no problems with tactical use by restoring the received images with super resolution. The usefulness of this proposed method was confirmed through simulation, and it is expected that it can be applied to various platforms in the future to greatly increase the effectiveness of utilizing tactical images through tactical data link.

본 논문에서는 전술 데이터링크를 통해 대용량의 이미지 정보를 실시간으로 제공하기 위한 이미지 처리 방법을 연구하고, 함정전투체계에 적용할 수 있는 설계 방안을 제안한다. 전술 데이터 링크에서 이미지 전송은 전술적으로 중요한 가치를 갖지만, 타 전술 메시지에 비해 데이터가 크기 때문에 기존 전송 방식으로는 실시간성이 제한된다. 제안 방식은 이미지 전송 전후의 이미지 처리를 통해 실시간성을 향상하는 방식으로, 함정전투체계에서 획득한 전술 이미지를 축소하여 전송함으로써 전송속도를 향상하고, 수신한 이미지는 초해상도로 복원하여 전술적 활용에 문제가 없도록 설계하였다. 모의실험을 통해 본 제안 방식의 효용성을 확인하였고, 추후 다양한 플랫폼에 적용하여 전술 데이터링크를 통한 전술 이미지 활용 가치를 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
