Abstract

Recently, the interest on applying AVM(Around View Monitoring) systems in construction equipments have been increasing due to the demand for better control, work efficiency and safety. Most of the existing AVM systems have been developed focusing on the application in automobiles and only several AVM systems have been developed for construction equipments. However, the original technology of AVM remained the same as in the automobiles that failed to consider the main properties of construction equipments and suggest appropriate range of AVM display (Top-view). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest a pilot type of AVM system for construction equipment. Accordingly, literature review, deduction of main consideration factors, selection of sensors, system design, algorithm development of a pilot type of AVM system for construction equipment have been conducted. A laboratory experiment has also been conducted for the deduction of further improvements. As a result, a minimum image refresh rate of 20 fps has been achieved that clearly reflects the actual situation of the equipment and also, the actual motions of Boom, Arm, Bucket have been displayed appropriately on the AVM system based on the angle data collected by sensors. However, the experiment results have also shown that the following tasks still remain for future work: 1)Improvement of AVM image interpolation, 2)Development of calibration module for variety construction equipment.

최근 건설 중장비 운용의 용이성 향상, 작업 효율성 제고 및 안전성 향상을 위해 어라운드 뷰 모니터링(Around View Monitoring) 시스템을 건설 중장비에 적용하려는 시도가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 대부분의 선행기술은 차량형 장비를 위해 개발되었으며, 일부 건설 중장비에 적용되고 있는 AVM 시스템의 경우도 원천기술이 차량형 장비를 대상으로 개발됨에 따라 건설 중장비의 특성을 반영하지 못하고, 탑뷰로 표현할 수 있는 영역이 제한된다는 한계점을 지닌 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 건설 중장비에 특화된 건설 중장비 AVM 시스템의 파일럿타입을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 선행연구 및 기술개발동향 분석, 개발 요구사항 도출, 최적 센서 선정, 시스템 디자인, AVM 알고리즘 구축 등을 수행하여 건설 중장비 AVM 시스템 파일럿타입의 개발하고, 실험실 실험을 통해 시스템의 개선요구사항을 도출하였다. 개발된 시스템을 활용한 실험실 실험 결과, 최소 20fps 이상의 영상 Refresh Rate를 확보함에 따라 장비주변의 현황(장애물, 사람 등)에 대한 실시간 모니터링이 가능하고, 앵글 센서(Angle Sensor)를 통해 수집된 데이터를 토대로 붐, 암, 버킷의 현황이 AVM 디스플레이 위에 적합하게 표현되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 1)AVM 영상의 품질 향상을 위한 보간(Interpolation) 방법의 개선, 2)다양한 건설 중장비 유형 및 제원에 적용 가능할 수 있도록 이를 지원하는 칼리브레이션(Calibration) 모듈의 개발이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
