SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE FOR SEARCHING FOR UNDERWATER TARGET OBJECT

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and a method for operating an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for searching for an underwater target object which can quickly detect a target object by a mother ship and, more specifically, to a system and a method for operating an autonomous underwater vehicle for searching for an underwater target object which allows an autonomous underwater vehicle to search a set area and scan the corresponding area by side-scan sonar mounted on the autonomous underwater vehicle to acquire an image, analyze the acquired image by transfer learning among deep learning techniques to determine whether the corresponding image is a target object (for example, a mine, a drowned person, an object to be detected, etc.), allow the autonomous underwater vehicle to float to a water surface when the image is a target object to notify a mother ship of information of the target object and location information, then allow the AUV to submerge, and move the AUV to a previous location by a set distance with respect to the notified location to continue searching.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020
