Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) are digital charts encoded in S-57 format, which contain navigational informations such as coastlines, depth areas, and nautical marks. Although they have been successfully used for the safe navigation of ships, they have limited usages and applications because of their specialized data format and access systems. To cope with such drawbacks, S-57 ENCs need to be transformed into more generalized format such as Geography Markup Language (GML). The transformed GML ENCs can be kept in a database for efficiency, and can be accessed through Internet for usability. This paper proposes a new method for transforming and managing ENCs with XML database. S-57 ENCs are lust transformed into GML format, and then stored in a XML database. On the database, users can query for their needs. To validate the feasibility of the proposed method, we developed a protype system, and then conducted several test runs. The system can provide users with easy access to the marine information contained in ENCs. It also provides compatibility and efficiency by virtue of GML and XML database, respectively.

This study studied a prediction model for sending collision alarms for small fishing boats based on semi-supervised learning(SSL). The supervised learning (SL) method requires a large number of labeled data, but the labeling process takes a lot of resources and time. This study used service data collected through a data pipeline linked to 'intelligent maritime traffic information service' and data collected from real-sea experiment. The model accuracy was improved as a result of learning not only real-sea experiment data with labeling determined based on actual user satisfaction but also service data without label determined together.

해상에서의 데이터는 디지털 수로데이터 교환 표준인 국제수로기구(IHO, International Hydrographic Organization)의 S-57을 기반으로 제작된다. 그러나 S-57은 지리정보 외의 정보를 표현하는데 한계를 나타내었다. S-57의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 다양한 해양데이터를 활용할 수 있는 시스템 체계로 수로 데이터를 위한 데이터 모델과 규격을 정의하는 S-100을 제정하였다. S-100을 기반으로 하여 수로데이터를 위한 표준으로 S-101을 제정하고 있으며, 데이터 검색 및 활용을 위한 메타데이터도 포함하여 구성하였다. S-101의 개발에 따라 S-57전자해도를 S-101전자해도로 변환이 요구되고 있으며, 이와 함께 메타데이터에 대한 변환도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 S-57의 메타데이터 요소와 S-101의 메타데이터 요소를 비교 분석하여 메타데이터 변환모델을 제시하였다.

It is much needed research for ocean scientists to implement a digitizing system that effectively extracts and digitializes sea level records accumulated from the past. The main difficulty of such a system is huge anount of data to be processed. In this paper, we implement a digitizing system to handle such mass-data of sea level records. This system consists of a pre-process step, a digitizing step and a post-process step. In pre-process step, the system adjusts skewnesses of scanned images and normalizes the size of images automatically. Then, it extracts a graph area from images and thins the graph area in digitizing step. Finally, in the post-process step, the system tests the reliability. It is cost-effective and labour-reducing software for scientists not wasting their time to such boring manual digitizing jobs.

The ENCs, which is a database for the use of maritime navigation within the ECDIS on the ships are recently being utilized in wide marine applications. But, even though official ENCs have been produced according to the IHO S-57 and S-52 standards, current ENCs are limited to their static characteristics of contents and structures being inherited from the analog media style of the traditional paper charts. Thus these limitations are often recognized as barriers to the full use of high resolution and advanced digital technologies. This paper presents prototype development results which demonstrate dynamic ENC features using high density ENCs and simulated tidal information to support various marine GIS fields as well as efficient and safe navigation purpose.

The IMO has recommended on VHF digital communications operation for sailing ships from 2017. And ships more than 5 tons is obliged to digital communications by fishing Vessels Act and Vessel Safety Act in domestic. The owner of all vessel is equipped to the automatic position reporting device in accordance with the Notice of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to regulations, It shall be ensure to navigations safety and in order to respond quickly in the event of maritime accidents on all vessels. The info-communications station of fishery is operating the automatic position reporting system using the VHF DSC in east sea from 2012, Continuously, which is underway the install plan in south sea and yellow sea. But this plan is very difficult, because of propagation environment is poor on account of complicated coastline and many islands. This paper has analyzed the propagation coverage for position setting of coast station in south sea and the traffic zone set up by compare with RSSI and methode of navigation tracking by VMS.

Analog communication systems using AM, FM modem have been developed. Digital communication systems using digital modems, which is by expansion of digital hardware skill have been recently developed. In order to accomplish a reliable communication it is important to overcome ocean environmental channel characteristics such as transmission loss, ambient noise and multipath effect etc. Specially, the effect of multipath is the most important element that determines the performance of underwater communication system in shallow water. Multipath channel can be divided a vertical and horizontal channel. the former is defined the channel to have large path-delay times between a direct wave and reflected waves. The latter shows relatively small path-delay times between a direct and reflected waves in compared with a vertical channel. In this paper, The performance of FSK, PSK and DPSK modem with respect to the vertical and horizontal multipath communication channels it described and compared.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs ＆ Fisheries have plaining the advancing fishery information integrated system for the fishing present condition, marine resource administration and applicability considering. The fishery information communication system is build up to the raw data ＆ process-network-content. The communication system must be small size, low cost and adapted SSB transceiver, that is using fishery shipping. In this paper We present digital data communication network to exchange information for fishery and safety between fishing ship and coast station in cheeper communication fee using SSB in HF band.

Video monitoring techniques and their applications to beaches were reviewed. The recent development of video hardware and image process made it possible to measure shoreline changes, sandbar morphology, wave runup, swash motion, and so on using video camaras. Especially, quantitative information from the video image can be obtained by digitization of image, rectification procedure, and image process. Using video monitoring techniques, measurements can be made at much lower cost and for long periods of time compared to the traditional measurement techniques, although these techniques are of lower accuracy and provide only indirect information on the land and water surface.

In this parer, it is implemented a Local distribution Audio System, based on AoIP(Audio over Internet Protocol) of a part of TCP/IP Network which belongs to Internet transmission technology. The system is controlled based on SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) and it is transferred to UDP as packet after changing from Analog audio sources to Digital audio sources. The implemented Local distribution Audio System have presented practical possibilities in PA system transmitting various audio sources to several areas, dispersedly and using multichannel audio like Home theaters in the limelight, recently.
