HMS(Hull Mounted Sonar) 운용 시 수중음속구조의 영향에 의한 음파가 경계면(해저면, 해수면)의 반사를 통해서 근거리 음영구역(short range shadow zone)을 발생시킨다(그림 1). 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 수중음파탐지 무기체계 가운데 특히 단상태 (monostatic) 조건일 때 HMS에 의해 발생하는 근거리 음영구역을 최소화하는 방안을 연구하였다. 즉, 2차원 수중공간 (수심-거리)에서 빔형성기법 (beamforming)을 이용한 HMS Vertical Scanning (HMS Verscan) 기법을 제안하여 수치 실험을 수행하였다. 수치실험을 위해 HMS 운용환경에 근접한 고주파 음선모델(BELLHOP)과 잔향음 모델(HYREV)을 이용하였다. 그 결과 HMS Verscan 기법은 수평방향의 음파방사에 의해 주로 발생하는 근거리 음영구역으로 해저반사를 통하여 음파를 전달시켰고, 근거리 음영 구역에 숨어있는 표적의 탐지가능성을 높였다. 또한 실제 산란환경을 고려한 수치실험 결과에서도 부분적으로 표적이 탐지가 됨으로써 HMS Verscan 기법의 근거리 음영구역의 감소효과를 확인하였다.

Acoustic source localization using MUSIC etc. utilizes the propagation model in the medium. A plane wave model is a well-known source model for the identification of distant sources in the SONAR and a monopole source model becomes the one for the identification of rather near range sources. This paper introduces a dipole source model and a tripole source model consisting of one monopole and one dipole source. The simplifying procedures provide the simplified factors rather than the superposition of the relating monopole sources. The simulations show that the tripole model is useful in the general case including pure monopole, pure dipole, or pure quadrupole source identification.

In this paper we analyzed the localization error of near-field detection algorithm in the sea. The near-field detection algorithms using triangulation and wavefront curvature basically assume a signal in two dimension of bearing and range. But the assumption causes localization error because there is three dimension of bearing, range, and depth in the sea. Even through three dimensional effect is considered, the localization error is occurred if multipath propagation in the sea is ignored. To analyze the localization error in the sea, we simulate the near-field localization using acoustic propagation model and focused beamforming considering wavefront curvature. The simulation results indicate that localization error always occurs in the sea and the error varied with sound velocity profile, water depth, bottom slope, source range, etc.

본 논문에서는 차량의 뒷바퀴 윤곽을 이용하여 근거리 전방차량을 인식하는 방법에 대해 설명한다. 차량 앞범퍼 중앙에 장착된 흑백 CCD 카메라에서 입력되는 영상을 분석하면 전방차량의 뒷바퀴 바깥쪽 윤곽이 수직성분을 띄며 도로면과 명확하게 구분됨을 알 수 있다. 이 특징을 이용하여 일정거리 이내에 존재하는 전방차량을 탐지할 수 있다 또한 탐지된 차량까지의 대략적인 거리를 계산할 수 있고, 브레이크등의 점등 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 이 방법은 차량간 간격이 좁고 저속으로 주행하는 도심지 도로에서 가다서다를 반복하는 Stop-and-Go 차량을 구현하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper proposes the nearfield eigenvector method for array shape estimation using reference signals basted on the nearfield signal modeling. Generally. direction finding methods assume the reference signals to be plainwave. However, in case of the reference signals in nearfield, this assumption is inadequate for array shape estimation. In this paper. the nearfield reference signals are modeled. and we propose the nearfield eigenvector method. The numerical experiments indicated that the proposed method shows good performance for array shape estimation regardless of the ranges of the reference signals.

Recently, level meters have been associated with the safety and maintenance of industrial sites and require a wide measurement range. Generally, to ensure the measurement range of the level meter, the measurement environment is improved to reduce the noise or to compensate the distortion of the signal through signal processing. The noise of FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar level meter or the distortion of the signal affects the near region characteristics of the level gauge, resulting in a reduction of the minimum detection distance. In this paper, an equalizer filter considering characteristics of window function and bit spectrum is applied to remove the noise in the near region of the level meter to improve the minimum detection distance performance and to improve the measurement reliability in the vicinity of the level meter, which is relatively difficult to detect, we want to improve the detection range.

세계 각국의 잠수함은 물속에서 더욱 깊게, 빠르게, 그리고 보이지도, 들리지도 않고 지나간 흔적도 남기지 않도록 발전되어 가고 있어 그 탐지가 점차 곤란해지고 있다. 1987년도 미.영 합동 대잠훈련에서 미 해군은 음향차단 타일을 붙인 영국 잠수함 Superb 109호를 근거리에서 탐지못한 것을 염려한 나머지 서둘러 Los Angels급의 1척인 San Juan호에 타일장착을 결정하였다

To analyze the multipath propagation effects on the source bearing detection of HLA(Horizontal Line Array), the conversion mechanism of the multipath into the bearing is described, and the bearing is estimated from the multipath modeled with typical sound velocity structures of the East and the South Sea of Korea. The erroneous bearing is observed from the beamforming outputs simulated with the modeled multipath, and the erroneous phenomena are analyzed. In case of the East Sea, since the multipath propagation with a high receiving angle occurs due to strong inverse slope of the sound velocity structure, it is possible that the estimated source bearing is different from the real source bearing, and that the number of the source is misrecognized.

In this paper, we propose shading functions to the appropriate focused beamforming for near-field target estimation. This near field shading functions are based on Chebychev and Manning windows. In order to obtain the optimum sensor weighting values with the help of the proposed shading technique, we assume that the sensor positions associated to the non-uniformly distributed array are precisely known. We calculate a series of sensor weighting values from the FFT operation of given shading functions in time domain. By applying the shading weights on the sensor array, we can see that the level of sidelobe becomes diminished and the performance of estimating range and azimuth gets improved. In addition, we propose a non-uniform structure in terms of frequency bands, which may minimize the attenuation of incoming signals.
