Buoy has different motion characteristics depends on the sea weather situations. The motion characteristics has an impact on antenna, solar power generation system and etc. installed within a buoy. Therefore, it is important to analyse motion characteristics for management and analyse the buoy conditions. This paper's Buoy motion monitoring system uses gyro sensor to detect motions of a light buoy, and the measured data transfers to the PC on the shore using signal processing algorithm. The aim of this research is to develop monitoring and management mechanism of a buoy by applying motion monitoring system. In this paper, the operation characteristic of movement monitoring system is verified through experiment. Further, in this paper, it can apply such as real-time visibility into the status of the buoy or many ocean facility's motion estimation of the future.
