Abstract

Many maritime accidents have been caused by human-error including such things as inadequate watch keeping and/or mistakes in ship handling. Also, new navigational equipment has been developed using IT technology to provide various information for safe navigation. Despite these efforts, the reduction of maritime accidents has not occurred to the degree expected because, navigational equipment provides too much information, and this information is not well organized, such that users feel it to be complicated rather than helpful. In this point of view, the method of representation of navigational information is more important than the quantity of that information and research is required on the representation of information to make that information more easily understood and to allow decisions to be made correctly and promptly. In this paper, we adopt Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for the representation of information. AR is a 3D computer graphics technology that blends virtual reality and the real world. Recently, this technology has been widely applied in our daily lives because it can provide information more effectively to users. Therefore, we propose a new concept, a navigational system based on AR technology; we review experimental results from a ship-handling simulator and from an open sea test to verify the efficiency of the proposed system.

최근 해양 사고 및 그 피해가 증가함에 따라 선박의 안전 항해에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 해양 사고에 대한 규제를 강화하고, 최신의 IT 기술들을 적용한 다양한 항해 장비들을 개발하여 항해사의 안전운항을 지원하고 있다. 그러나 너무 복잡하고 많은 정보를 무분별하게 제공하는 경우가 많아 오히려 항해사의 의사결정에 방해가 되는 경우가 있어 정보를 표시하고 서비스하는 효율적인 방법에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 배경으로 본 논문에서는 다양한 항해정보를 보다 직관적으로 제공하기 위한 방법으로 증강현실 기술을 적용하였으며, 이를 통해 항해사가 신속하고 정확한 의사결정을 내릴 수 있도록 지원하는 증강현실 기반의 차세대 항해지원 시스템을 제안한다. 또한, 구현된 요소 기능들은 선박운항 시뮬레이터 및 실선 시험을 통해 시스템의 적용 가능성과 효용성을 검증하였다.
