This paper deals with the Gain Control in the processing of the underwater acoustic image obtained from side scan sonar(SSS) system. At first, this paper describes the principles of SSS that is a surveying equipment for the underground of the rivers or dams as well as sea floor. Then this paper analyzes the cause and effects of the time varying intensity from the view point of transmission loss and beam pattern. At last, the time varying gain filter that is adopted by the towfish is introduced.

부설된 기뢰를 소해하기 위해 기뢰매설 예상구역에 대한 탐색을 수행한다. 이 때 기뢰탐색은 기뢰의 위험성, 아군의 안정성 등을 고려하여 자율무인잠수정을 이용한다. 매설된 기뢰를 식별하기 위한 소나시스템은 측면주사소나, 합성개구소나 등을 탑재한다. 본 논문은 측면주사소나 특성에 따른 기뢰탐색효과도 분석에 대해 기술한다. 각 측면주사소나의 특성을 바탕으로 음향조사역 및 인식확률을 모델링 하였고, AUV의 주행패턴에 따라 분석을 수행하였다. AUV의 주행패턴은 측면주사소나 음영구역의 유무에 따라 3가지 탐색패턴을 정의하였다. 분석결과는 각 탐색패턴 마다 탐지시간, 탐지확률을 도출하고 최종적으로 측면주사소나 음영구역의 유무에 따른 탐색 향상도를 도출하였다.

Recently, side scan sonar system has been developed and operated to survey cable laying, sunken bodies, geometry of sea bottom and so on. It uses the acoustic signals, which are emitted from two transducer arrays, left and right sides, to get geometric information of the specified area. This system consists of transceiver board, towed body, deck unit and GPS receiver. The transceiver board, nested in a watertight canister, controls the transmitting and receiving of the acoustic pulses from transducer arrays. After receiving the scattered signals, it processes BP(Band Pass) filtering, AGC(Automatic Gain Control), TVG(Time Varying Gain) and Heterodyne. The deck init has the signal processing part, A/D converter, power supplier, and real-time monitoring part. The towed body has been designed to satisfy the optimal hydrodynamic behavior during towing, In this paper, brief introductions on the design theory of transceiving part and some results from the field which have been operated recently will be introduced.

Accurate measurement of seafloor topography plays a crucial role in developing marine industries such as maritime safety, resource exploration, environmental protection, and coastal management. The seafloor topography is constructed using side scan sonar (SSS) and single beam echosounder (SBES) or multibeam echosounder (MBES), which transmit and receive ultrasound waves through a device attached to a marine survey vessel. However, the use of a sonar system is affected by noise pollution areas, and the single beam has a limited scope of application. At the same time, the multibeam is mainly applicable for depth observation. For these reasons, it is difficult to determine the boundaries and areas of seafloor topography. Therefore, this study proposes a method to improve the backscatter data of multibeam echosounder, which has a relationship with the seafloor quality, by using digital image processing to classify the shape of the underwater surface.

Recently, the needs for the development and application of marine robots are increasing as marine accidents occur frequently. However, it is very difficult to acquire the information by utilizing marine robots in the marine environment. Therefore, the needs for the researches of sensor networks which are composed of underwater, surface and aerial robots are increasing in order to acquire the information effectively as the information from heterogeneous robots has less limitation in terms of coverage and connectivity. Although various researches of the sensor network which is based on marine robots have been executed, all of the underwater, surface and aerial robots have not yet been considered in the sensor network. To solve this problem, a collaborative control method based on the acoustic information and image by the sonars of the underwater robot, the acoustic information by the sonar of the surface robot and the optical image by the camera of the static-floating aerial robot is proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the collaborative control of a MUR(Micro Underwater Robot) with an OAS(Obstacle Avoidance Sonar) and a SSS(Side Scan Sonar), a MSR(Micro Surface Robot) with an OAS and a BMAR(Balloon-based Micro Aerial Robot) with a camera are executed. The test results show the possibility of real applications and the need for additional studies.

인공어초의 구조적 설치로 인하여 흐름의 변화가 생기며, 이로 인한 인공어초 주변의 퇴적물 수송은 침전과 매몰뿐만 아니라 저질 환경에도 영향을 미친다. 본 조사는 경상북도 포항시 해역에 시설된 사각형 어초의 시설상태를 파악하기 위하여 수중음향 영상기기인 사이드 스캔 소나(SSS), 인공위성 위치 측정기(DGPS)와 잠수조사를 통한 조사를 실시하였다. 조사 결과, 총 139개소에서 10,526개의 사각형 어초가 발견되었으며, 어초 기능 유지에 영향을 미치는 수준으로 판단되는 0.5m 이상의 매몰과 세굴은 각각 4개소(0.5~1.2m, 2.9%)와 3개소(0.5m, 2.2%)로 나타났다. 파손의 경우 10,526개의 발견된 사각형 어초 중 183개(1.74%)로 나타났다. 따라서 포항시 해역에 시설된 사각형 인공어초의 시설상태는 비교적 안정적인 것으로 나타났다.
