Chirp sonar 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 광역주파수 음향반사자료의 감쇠특성을 나타내는 음향학적 분류변수를 고안하였다. 분류변수는 퇴적물 물성에 따른 분산효과에 의한 감쇠특성을 나타내며, 음향반사신호의 푸리에 변환을 이용한 unwrapped 위상의 미분치로부터 구하였다. 그리고 각기 다른 퇴적상을 나타내는 지점에서 획득된 음향반사신호의 지질음향모델링을 통하여 퇴적물 물성에 따른 감쇠특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 분류변수는 입자크기와 성분에 따른 퇴적물 형태와 해저면 굳기에 따라 값의 차이를 보였으며, 이는 음향자료로부터 직접 해저면을 분류하는데 효과적으로 사용할 수 있다.

광대역 주파수변조(wide-band FM) 선호를 음원으로 사용하는 Chirp sonar 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 음향반사 자료의 통계학적 처리를 통하여 해저면을 분류하였다. 음향학적 분류변수로서 Chirp 자료의 K-L(Karhunen-Lo$\grave{e}$ve) 변환을 이용하여 계산된 유사도 지수(similarity index)를 고안하였다. 유사도 지수는 근접한 트레이스 자료들에 포함된 공통된 반사신호성분의 양을 지시하므로 해저면 퇴적물의 성분에 따른 음향학적 거침도를 반영한다고 할 수 있다. 유사도 지수는 0에서 1사이의 값을 가지며, 각기 다른 퇴적상을 나타내는 지점에서 획득된 Chirp 자료를 처리한 결과, 퇴적물의 성분이 균질할수록, 입자의 크기가 작을수록, 그리고 연한 퇴적층일수록 증가하는 것을 관측할 수 있었다. 실제의 응용 예로서 제주도 성산포 해역을 이 방법으로 분류하였으며, 그 결과를 검증하기 위해 동일해역에서 획득된 side-scan sonar 자료 및 퇴적물로부터 해석된 해저면의 퇴적상과 비교하였다. 그 결과 음향자료의 유사도 지수에 의해 분류된 해저면은 실제의 퇴적상을 매우 잘 반영할 뿐만 아니라 퇴적물 성분의 특성에 따른 음향반응을 더욱 세밀히 나타내었다. 그러므로 이러한 방법은 음향자료로부터 직접 해저면을 분류하는 지질음향 모델링으로서 매우 효과적이다.

While the chirp signal is extensively used in radar and sonar systems for target decision in wireless communication systems, it has not been widely used for positioning in indoor environments. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4a standard has adopted the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) as an underlying technique for low-power and low-complexity precise localization. Chirp signal based ranging solutions have been established and deployed but their ranging performance has not been analyzed in multipath environments. This paper presents a ranging performance analysis of a chirp signal and suggests a method to suppress multipath error by using a type of non-linear chirp signal. Multipath ranging performance is evaluated using a conventional linear chirp signal and the proposed non-linear chirp signal. We verify the feasibility of both methods using two-ray multipath model simulation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed non-linear chirp signal can successfully suppress the multipath error.

A chirp-echo data acquisition and processing system was developed for use as a simplified, PC-based chirp echo-sounder with some data processing software modules. The design of the software and hardware system was implemented via a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Digital signal processing algorithms for driving a single-channel chirp transmitter and dual-channel receivers with independent TVG (time varied gain) amplifier modules were incorporated into the FPGA for better real-time performance. The chirp-echo data acquisition and processing system consisted of a notebook PC, an FPGA board, and chirp sonar transmitter and receiver modules, which were constructed using three chirp transducers operating over a frequency range of 35-210 kHz. The functionality of this PC-based chirp echo-sounder was tested in various field experiments. The results of these experiments showed that the developed PC-based chirp echo-sounder could be used in the acquisition, processing and analysis of broadband acoustic echoes related to fish species identification.

To classify seafloor sediments using a probabilistic neural network (PNN), the frequency-dependent characteristics of broadband acoustic scattering, which make it possible to qualitatively categorize seabed type, were collected from three different geographical areas in Korea. The echo data samples from three types of seafloor sediment were measured using a chirp sonar system operating over a frequency range of 20-220 kHz. The spectrum amplitudes for frequency responses of 35-75 kHz were fed into the PNN as input feature parameters. The PNN algorithm could successfully identify three seabed types: mud, mud/shell and concrete sediments. The percentage probabilities of the three seabed types being correctly classified were 86% for mud, 66% for mud/shell and 72% for concrete sediment.

The combination of Multi-Beam Echo Sounder swath bathymetry and high-resolution towed Sidescan sonar provides a powerful method of examination about hydrographic survey results. In this paper, we investigate the fast method of 3D bathymetric reconstruction with the Digital Sidescan sonar(Benthos SIS 1500) and Shallow Multi-Beam Echo Sounder(Reson Seabat 8125). The Seabat 8125 is a 455KHz high resolution focused Multibeam echo sounder(MBES) system which measures the relative water depth across a wide swath perpendicular to a vessel's track. The Benthos SIS1500 is a chirp(nominal fq. 200KHz) sonar which map the topographical features & sediment texture of ocean bottom using backscattered amplitude. We generates the very large 3D bathymetric texture mapping model with the Helical System's HHViewer and describes additional benefits of combining MBES and Sidescan Sonar imagery, the removal of geometric distortions in the model and a deterministic sounding noise.

본 논문은 chirp신호와 두 개의 근거리 청음기를 이용한 해저퇴적층의 음향학적 특성치 역산기법을 제시한다. 역산문제를 확률론적 모델로 정식화하고, 역산의 해를 역산인자의 a priori분포와 유사도함수의 곱으로 표현되는a posteriori 확률분포로 정의하였다. 퇴적층의 음속과 층두께의 a priori정보를 파형 매칭 기법으로 추정한 후 다수의 퇴적층이 존재하는 환경모델을 부분퇴적층모델로 치환하고, 계측신호와 모의신호의 L₂노음을 이용하여 정의된 목적함수에 대해 반복적인 유전자알고리즘 탐색을 수행하여 탐색공간의 축소로 인한 탐색효율과 결과의 향상을 얻었다. A posteriori 확률분포의 다중적분의 형태로 정의되는 인자의 주변확률분포와 평균의 추정은 유전자알고리즘의 탐색과정에서 선택된 탐색점들을 이용하여 수행되었다. 제시된 역산기법의 검증을 위해 두 가지 퇴적층 환경모델을 설정하고 잡음을 첨가한 합성신호에 대해 역산기법을 적용하여 역산해를 추정하였고 역산결과로부터 본 역산기법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

The accurate calibration of broadband echo sounders is essential for providing high quality acoustic information for fisheries applications. The increased range resolution of broadband echo sounder systems improves the detection and characterization of targets near boundaries, such as fish near the seabed. Most echo sounder systems are calibrated using tungsten-carbide (WC) spheres. For accurate calibration, it is necessary to select WC spheres of optimized diameters used frequently to calibrate echo sounder systems. For these purposes, the measured and simulated target strength (TS) data for seven WC spheres of different sizes were compared across a bandwidth of 100-200 kHz. The frequency-dependent TS pattern for the specular wave measured from two WC spheres using the fractional Fourier transform was also estimated and analyzed. Comparative results are presented for all the spheres and the best average precision of 0.15 dB was obtained for the 22 mm WC sphere.

The purpose of this study was to compare the model-predicted and experimentally measured target strength (TS) of golden cuttlefish Sepia esculenta cuttlebones. Ultrasonic signals used to estimate frequency-dependent TS and the speed of sound in cuttlebones were measured by pulse-echo and through-transmission techniques, using a chirp sonar system and an ultrasonic pulser/receiver system under controlled laboratory conditions. The model appeared to slightly underestimate the predicted TS values in the frequency range of 100-160 kHz. However, there was good agreement between the predicted and measured TS values in the frequency range of 160-200 kHz. The significant similarity between the model-predicted and experimentally measured TS values supports the use of the Kirchhoff-ray mode (KRM) model for acoustic scattering analysis of cuttlebones. Accordingly, we concluded that the KRM model can be used as a tool to evaluate the frequency-dependent variability of TS due to changes in golden cuttlefish swimming depth.
