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.

The paper clarifies all the noise sources of a CMOS image sensor, with which the GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) is equipped, and analyzes their contribution to a nonlinear image sensor model. In particular, the noise PDF (Probability Density Function) is derived in terms of sensor-gain coefficients: a linear and a nonlinear gains. As a result, the relation between the noise characteristic and the sensor gains is studied.

본 논문에서는 적응형 걸음걸이 검출 알고리즘과 검출된 신호로부터 단일 발자국의 움직임을 분류하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 단일 발자국 기반 알고리즘은 기존의 연속된 발자국 신호를 이용한 분류 방식이 아니기 때문에 전체적인 움직임뿐만 아니라 개별적이고 불규칙한 움직임도 검출 및 분류 가능하다. 분류를 위해 사용된 특징벡터는 발자국 신호의 푸리에 스펙트럼, CWT의 스펙트럼, AR 모델링 스펙트럼과 AR 스펙트로그램 영상으로부터 얻어진 벡터이다. SVM을 이용하여 단일 발자국의 움직임을 분류한 결과 AR 스펙트로그램으로 얻어진 특징벡터를 사용할 경우 90% 이상 분류 성능을 얻었다.

This experimental study investigated the flow characteristics for regular waves passing a rectangular floating structure in a two-dimensional wave tank. The particle image velocimetry (PIV) was employed to obtain the velocity field in the vicinity of the structure. The phase average was used to extract the mean flow and turbulence property from repeated instantaneous PIV velocity profiles. The mean velocity field represented the vortex generation and evolution on both sides of the structure. The turbulence properties, including the turbulence length scale and the turbulent kinetic energy budget were investigated to characterize the flow interaction between the regular wave and the structure. The results shaw the vortex generated near the structure corners, which are known as the eddy-making damping or viscous damping. However, the vortex induced by the wave is longer than the roll natural period of the structure, which presents the phenomena opposing the roll damping effect; that is, the vortex may increase the roll motion under the wave condition longer than the roll natural period.

This study presents an investigation of the changes that have occurred in the coastal ocean area of Kwangyang Bay located in the South Coastal region of Korea using remote sensing data based on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) multispectral digital data from 1988 and 1996. The coastal changes were detected using the digital histogram method and vector trace method. All the images were preprocessed, i.e. geometrically corrected, before the training set selection. when comparing the histograms of 7-band TM data, it was found that the band 5 image exhibited two critical Digital Number(DN) peaks, thereby indicating new coastal water and coastal land data. Based on this information, the coastal ocean area of the band 5 image was calculated using the vector tracing method supported by a CAD program. The result shows that the coastal ocean area decreased by about 5 % between 1988 to 1994. Accordingly, this gives a strong indication that the continuing land development will have a serious impact on the ecosystem of Kwangyang Bay.

A variety of inner baffles are often installed to reduce liquid sloshing and prevent tank damage. In particular, a porous baffle has a distinct advantage in reducing sloshing by changing the natural periods and dissipating the wave energy in a tank. In model tests, porous baffles with five different porosities were installed vertically in a liquid tank under sway motion. The free surface elevations and pressures were measured using an image processing technique and a pressure gage for various combinations of baffle's porosity and submergence depth, and tank's amplitude and period. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytic solutions (Cho, 2015), with the exception of a quantitative difference at resonant periods. The experimental results showed that the sloshing characteristics in a tank were closely dependent on both the porosity and submergence depth of the baffle, and the optimal porosity existed near P = 0.1275.

In this study, the performance of a real-time micro telescopic monitoring system is evaluated, in which an artificial neural network is adopted for the diagnoses of vibratory bodies, such as solid piping system or machinery. The structural vibration was measured by a non-contact remote sensing method, in which images of a high-speed high-definition camera were used. The structural vibration data that can be obtained by the PIV (particle image velocimetry) technique were used for training the neural network. The structures of the neural network are dynamically changed and their performances are evaluated for the constructed diagnosis system. Optimized structures of the neural network are proposed for real-time diagnosis for the piping system. It was experimentally verified that the performances of the neural network used for real-time monitoring are influenced by the types of the vibration data, such as minimum, maximum and average values of the vibration data. It concludes that the time-mean values are most appropriate for monitoring the piping system.

The world's first geostationary ocean color imager (GOCI) is a three-mirror anastigmat optical system 140 mm in diameter. Designed for 500 m ground sampling distance, this paper deals with on-orbit modulation transfer function (MTF)measurement and analysis for GOCI. First, the knife-edge and point source methods were applied to the 8th band (865 nm) image measured April 5th, 2011. The target details used are the coastlines of the Korean peninsula and of Japan, and an island 400 meters in diameter. The resulting MTFs are 0.35 and 0.34 for the Korean East Coastline and Japanese West Coastline edge targets, respectively, and 0.38 for the island target. The daily and seasonal MTF variations at the Nyquist frequency were also checked, and the result is $0.32{\pm}0.04$ on average. From these results, we confirm that the GOCI on-orbit MTF performance satisfies the design requirements of 0.32 for 865 nm wavelength.

This paper proposes an underwater localization algorithm using probabilistic object recognition. It is organized as follows; 1) recognizing artificial objects using imaging sonar, and 2) localizing the recognized objects and the vehicle using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) based SLAM. For this purpose, we develop artificial landmarks to be recognized even under the unstable sonar images induced by noise. Moreover, a probabilistic recognition framework is proposed. In this way, the distance and bearing of the recognized artificial landmarks are acquired to perform the localization of the underwater vehicle. Using the recognized objects, EKF-based SLAM is carried out and results in a path of the underwater vehicle and the location of landmarks. The proposed localization algorithm is verified by experiments in a basin.

해색 원격 탐사를 통해 chlorophyll-a를 추정하면 식물성 플랑크톤, 해양일차생산력의 전 지구적 분포를 파악할 수 있다. 하지만 위성으로 관측된 해색 자료는 구름이나 기상 상황 등에 의하여 결측 데이터가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 DINEOF를 이용하여 GOCI chlorophyll-a 산출물의 결측 자료를 복원하고자 하였다. DINEOF는 시·공간 자료에 기반을 두어 결측 자료를 복원하는 방법으로, 정확도는 GOCI chlorophyll-a 영상의 일부를 제거한 뒤 복원 영상과 비교하여 교차 검증하였다. 연구지역에서 DINEOF를 위한 최적의 EOF 모드는 10-13이었다. 시·공간 복원 자료 결과에서는 오후 시간대 chlorophyll-a 농도가 증가하는 경향이 반영되었고, 노이즈에 해당되는 이상치는 필터링 되는 효과를 보였다. 따라서 DINEOF는 결측이 발생한 영상에 대하여 복원 자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 보이며, 이를 통해 해양 환경 모니터링을 위한 기초 자료로 사용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
