Abstract

In the case of the side scan sonar operated by the towing method, the underwater structure electric jig was developed because there is a difficulty in the cross-sectional survey that the user wants when conducting the survey. However, in the case of the sound wave photographing method using the electric jig, since the boat and the sonar behaves as one body, data distortion has occurred due to various problems according to working environment, such as, the rolling phenomenon of the boat due to the wave and the fluctuation of the sonic image due to the inoperability of the boat driver. Therefore, in order to solve the image blurring caused by the operation of the equipment for underwater survey of the existing side scan sonar, in this research, the program was supplemented to enable the shake correction by attaching the shake correction sensor and developing the shake correction algorithm. In order to verify the improvement of the sonar data resolution, the sonic images before and after the shake correction were collected through on-site investigation and the analysis of the sonic image data acquired by a diver measuring the actual damage length and depth. This study is expected to contribute to the development of sonar imaging technique of the underwater surface of the structure and bed surface of the sea or a river using the side scan sonar in the future.

기존의 예인식으로 운용하는 사이드스캔소나의 경우 조사 시 사용자가 원하는 단면 조사에 어려움이 있어 수중구조물 전동 지그가 개발되었지만, 전동지그를 사용한 음파촬영방법의 경우 보트와 소나가 일체 거동하기 때문에 파랑에 의한 보트 롤링현상, 보트운전자의 운용미숙 등으로 인한 음파영상의 흔들림발생 등, 작업환경에 따른 여러 가지 문제로 인하여 데이터의 왜곡이 발생하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 사이드스캔소나의 수중조사를 위한 장비운용 시 발생하는 영상의 흔들림을 해결하기 위해, 흔들림 보정센서를 부착하고 흔들림 보정 알고리즘을 개발하여 흔들림보정이 가능하도록 프로그램을 보완하였다. 또한, 소나 데이터 해상도의 향상 정도를 검증하기 위하여, 현장조사를 통해 흔들림 보정 전 후 음파영상을 수집하고 손상 의심부에 잠수사를 투입하여 실제 손상길이 및 수심을 측정하여 취득한 음파영상 데이터의 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 향후 사이드스캔소나를 활용한 구조물의 수중부 및 하상면 음파영상 촬영기법의 발전에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
