현재 수중 촬영을 통해 물속이나 바다 속을 촬영하려는 수요는 매우 빠르게 늘어나고 있다. 방송용 수중 촬영, 레저 및 스포츠용, 군사 및 작전용 등 그 적용 범위 또한 빠르게 늘어나고 있다. 그중 특별히 우리는 선박 선저에 부착된 해양 생물들을 촬영하고 검사하기 위해 수중 드론에 사용 될 최적의 카메라를 선정한다. 3대의 카메라들을 성능적으로 비교하는데 수중 촬영이라는 특별한 상황에서 객관적 기준, 주관적 기준을 사용하여 비교 및 평가한다. 본 연구는 수중 촬영이라는 특이한 상황에서 카메라의 해상도와 같은 성능적 기준이 객관적 기준과 주관적 기준에도 부합하는지를 확인한다. 그리고 훌륭한 화질 제공에는 영상을 보정하는 필터 외에도 적절한 카메라 선정이 중요하다는 점을 보여준다. 이 연구 후에도 좀 더 다양한 카메라들을 이용한 연구를 통해서 수중 촬영용 카메라 화질 비교의 적절한 기준을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

In the ground environment, mobile robot research uses sensors such as GPS and optical cameras to localize surrounding landmarks and to estimate the position of the robot. However, an underwater environment restricts the use of sensors such as optical cameras and GPS. Also, unlike the ground environment, it is difficult to make a continuous observation of landmarks for location estimation. So, in underwater research, artificial markers are installed to generate a strong and lasting landmark. When artificial markers are acquired with an underwater sonar sensor, different types of noise are caused in the underwater sonar image. This noise is one of the factors that reduces object detection performance. This paper aims to improve object detection performance through distortion and rotation augmentation of training data. Object detection is detected using a Faster R-CNN.

This paper presents the autonomous swimming technology developed for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) operating in the underwater jacket structure environment. To prevent the position divergence of the inertial navigation system constructed for the primary navigation solution for the vehicle, we've developed kinds of marker-recognition based underwater localization methods using both of optical and acoustic cameras. However, these two methods all require the artificial markers to be located near to the cameras mounted on the vehicle. Therefore, in the case of the vehicle far away from the structure where the markers are usually mounted on, we may need alternative position-aiding solution to guarantee the navigation accuracy. For this purpose, we develop a sonar image processing based underwater localization method using a Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) mounted in front of the vehicle. The primary purpose of this FLS is to detect the obstacles in front of the vehicle. According to the detected obstacle(s), we apply an Occupancy Grid Map (OGM) based path planning algorithm to derive an obstacle collision-free reference path. Experimental studies are carried out in the water tank and also in the Pohang Yeongilman port sea environment to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed autonomous swimming technology.

Fish resource surveys were conducted near Jeju Island in June, August and October 2021 using an underwater camera monitoring system, fish pots, and SCUBA diving methods. The efficiency of the methods used to survey fish resources was compared using the number of individuals compared to area per unit time (inds/m³/h) and the number of species compared to area per unit time (spp./m³/h). As a result of comparing the number of individuals compared to the area per unit time (inds/m³/h), the order was underwater camera 214.69, SCUBA diving 124.62, and fish pots 0.57 inds/m³/h. The number of species compared to area per unit time (spp./m³/h) is in the following order: SCUBA diving 0.85, underwater camera 0.38, and fish pots 0.01 spp./m³/h. The fish resource monitoring method using underwater cameras was found to be more efficient in individual counts, and the SCUBA diving method was found to be more efficient in species counts. When considering cost and survey efficiency, the fish resource survey method using underwater cameras was judged to be more effective. The results of this study are expected to be widely used in estimating the population density of fish, which is the core of future fisheries resource surveys.

Schooling behavier to a fishing gear and estimation of the volume of fish school in set net have ~ been studied by making use of such techniques as visual observations, underwater cameras, under- water televison. However, all of these observation techniques are subject to restrictions caused by illumination, underwater visibility, underwater transparent and sea conditions. For the above mentioned reasoa, one of the most effective method by this time become generally known a method using fish finder. In this paper, in order to control the fishing ground of set net effectively and to develope the telemetric fish finder, the experiments for the target strength, underwater shape of fishing gear, schooling behavier and volume of fish school with fish finder were performed at Galgott fishing ground of set net located Keouje Island, 15th-24th July and 18th-20th October in 1985. The results of these experiment showed that a method using fish finder in fishing grOlllld of set net is available for estimating distribution and school size, fish behavier in relation to a fishing gear and underwater shape of fishing gears.

고체 로켓추진기관을 이용한 자연공동형 수중운동체를 수중주행 시험하였다. 수중운동체의 속도 및 주행거리를 측정하고, 수중운동체 표면에 설치한 압력센서로 초공동의 발달에 따른 표면 압력 변화를 조사하였고, 수중카메라로 수중운동체에 초공동이 발생하여 진행하는 과정을 기록하였으며, 이를 이차원 비점성 이론해석법에 근거한 CNU-SuperCT 프로그램을 사용하여 계산한 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. CNU-SuperCT 프로그램은 수중운동체의 조종면을 포함하지 않고 계산하는 것을 고려하면, 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정결과가 잘 맞는다고 판단되며, 수중촬영결과도 이와 동일한 결과를 보인다.

This paper presents the vergence control of a parallel stereo camera and its application to underwater stereo camera to enhance the working efficiency of underwater vehicles that equips with manipulators in seabed operation. The stereo camera consists of two parallel lenses mounted on a lateral moving base and two CCD cameras mounted on a longitudinal moving base, which is embedded in a small pressure canister for underwater application. Because the lateral shift is related to the backward shift with a nonlinear relation, only one control input is needed to control the vergence and focus of the camera with a special driving device. We can get a clear stereo vision with the camera for all the range of objects in air and in water, especially in short range objects. The control system of the camera is so simple that we are able to realize a small stereo camera system and to apply it to a stereo vision system for underwater vehicles. This paper also shows how to acquire the distance information of an underwater object with this stereo camera. Whenever we focus on an underwater object with the camera, we can obtain the three-dimensional images and the distance information in real-time.

양식장에서 사용되는 기존의 수중 카메라는 제한된 구역만 촬영할 수 있으며, 수중 오염으로 인해 훼손되기 쉽다. 또한 양식장 그물망에 사료 공급에 따른 잉여 찌꺼기가 퇴적되어 양식장을 오염시키는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 양식장 수중 모니터링과 그물망 청소를 위한 수중 드론을 제안한다. 수중 드론을 이용한다면 수중 영상 촬영, 모니터링과 양식장 그물망 청소가 가능하다. 이를 활용하면 양식장 환경 변화를 감지해 데이터를 수집할 수 있고 그 데이터를 기반으로 양식장 내에서 발생하는 변화에 대응할 수 있다. 더불어 통합관제 시스템을 구축하게 되면 이를 통해 효율적이고 안정적인 스마트 양식장 구축이 가능할 것이다.

Underwater acoustic navigation and position fixing systems have been extensively used not only in surface position fixing but also in underwater position fixing. Tn recently, application of these systems has been in the field of underwater inspection of offshore platforms, where it is vital to track the position of an unmanned submersible or diver carrying underwater cameras and nondestructive testing equipment. But these systems are included the fixing errors as results of a signal with additive noise, the attenuation of sound and the interference effects due to multipath reflection and forward scattering. In this paper to improve the position fixing by the supershort baseline acoustic position system, a method to apply the Kalman filter to the fix of the system is proposed and the digital simulation under noise condition is conducted. The optimal positions by the Kalman filter are compared with original positions, and it is confirmed that the results of the pro-posed method are evidently more accurate.
