Side scan sonar System occupies an important position as one of marine survey equipments. The purpose of this research is to express sonar' scan images in underwater and compare with the measured size, shape and the quality of the material. Also we confirm the effectiveness of obtained images using the Side scan sonar.

In order to successfully detect and identify underwater targets located on the seabed, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) typically acquire acoustic signals with a side-scan sonar device and reconstruct information about the target from the processed images. As the quality of the side-scan sonar images acquired by USVs depends on the environment and operating parameters, using modeling and simulation techniques to design side-scan sonar devices can help optimize the reconstruction of the sonar images. In this work, we study a side-scan sonar design for use in USVs, that takes the movement of the platform into account. First, we constructed a simulated seabed environment with underwater targets, and specified the maneuvering conditions and sonar systems. We then generated the acoustic signals from the simulated environment using the sonar equation. Finally, we successfully imaged the simulated seabed environment using simple signal processing. Our results can be used to derive USV side-scan sonar design parameters, predict the resulting sonar images in various conditions, and as a basis for determining the optimal sonar parameters of the system.

Side scan sonar using acoustic wave plays a very important role in the underwater, sea floor, and shallow marine geologic survey. In this study, we have acquired side scan sonar data for the underwater man-made structures, artificial reefs and fishing grounds, installed and distributed in the survey area. We applied digital image processing techniques to side scan sonar data in order to improve and enhance an image quality. We carried out digital image processing with various kinds of filtering in spatial domain and frequency domain. We tested filtering parameters such as kernel size, differential operator, and statistical value. We could easily estimate the conditions, distribution and environment of artificial structures through the interpretation of side scan sonar.

본 논문의 목적은 사이드 스캔 소나 자료를 이용하여 해저면의 지질을 분류하는 알고리 즘을 제안하는 것이다. 사이드 스캔 소나 시스템에서 획득된 수치 자료에 대하여 탐사선의 항해 자료를 근거로 모자이킹을 수행하고 2차원 영상 자료를 생성하여, 평활화(Smoothing)와 같은 영 상 처리기법을 적용하여 보간을 수행하였다. 그리고, 모자익 영상의 텍스쳐 특성을 이용하여 영상 분할(Segmentation)을 실시하였다. 토우-휘시(Tow-fish)의 좌우현 센서의 특성 차이로 발생하는 좌우현음압의 차이와 센서에서 먼 곳에서 온 신호일 수록 음압이 작기 때문에 음압 자료의 보정 이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 토우-휘시 고도별 평균을 이용한 보정치로 음압 자료를 보정하였 고, 보정된 음압 자료로 모자익한 결과와 보정하지 않은 음압 자료를 보정하였고, 보정된 음압 자 료로 모자익한 결과와 보정하지 않은 음압 자료로 모자익한 결과를 비교하여 음압 보정된 영상의 질이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 영상의 분할 방법은 그레이 레벨 동시발생 행렬(Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix)을 이용한 텍스쳐 특성을 기초로 그레이 레벨 최대 발생 특징식을 제안하 고, 그 결과를 제시하였다.

It is important to manage artificial fish reefs with installation for restoration. The instruments of survey for artificial reefs condition(location, amount etc.) is Side Scan Sonar and Multi-beam sonar. The efficient and economic survey of the artificial reefs facility is the complete survey of the SSS(Side Scan Sonar) in all area first and then the survey of the artificial reefs by MBES(Multi Beam Echo Sounder) in the finding area.

In the side scan sonar method, use is made of the back-scattering, at low grazing angles of incidence to the seabed, of relatively high-frequency acoustic waves radiated in a fan-shaped beam from a transducer contained in a towed body. The fan beam is oriented so that the wider angle is in the vertical plane (scan range) and the narrower angle in the horizontal plane (beam width) with the axis of the beam normal to the ship track. The display of the returns is usually realized as a series of closely spaced intensity-modulated lines on a paper recorder or computer screen display. In this way a two-dimensional picture of the seabed is build up.

A side scan sonar system uses the towfish installed sonars, It is an equipment that search images of the bottom surface of the sea in real time. It is a typical equipment that is related to a sea investigation such as a geological survey, seabed communication cable and power line cable placing repair investigation, fish breeding ground investigation, sea purification, relic and mineral investigation, and mine and submarine search. It used to fined objects and investigate on the seabed surface. But, recently, it is used to sea purification and geological survey that require information of the correct surface of the seabed. So, it needs various filtering technique and image processing techniques development to acquire high resolution image. therefore, this research develops a side scan sonar using multi-beam sensors that supply various information with the fast scan speed and correct high resolution that is not a simple underwater investigation equipment.

In this study, locational information data acquisited by using the side scan sonar which is more precise than traditional submarine terrain' survey equipment. And the result of exploration through the object area(the East sea), accurate submarine terrain could be deciphered by sounded image. Also, in the future, side scan sonar's application will be maximized for the submarine terrain's sediment investigation to design or construction of ocean facilities.
