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.

    본 발명은 수중의 타겟 물체를 수색하기 위한 자율 무인 잠수정(AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE: AUV)의 운용 시스템 및 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 자율 무인 잠수정이 설정된 영역을 탐색하면서 그것에 장착된 사이드 스캔소나에 의해 해당 영역에 대한 스캔이 이루어져 이미지가 획득되고, 획득된 이미지가 딥러닝 기법 중 전이학습(transfer learning)을 통해 분석되어 해당 이미지가 타겟 물체(target object)(예컨대, 기뢰, 익사자, 탐지하고자 하는 물체 등)인지의 여부가 결정되고 타겟 물체일 경우 자율 무인 잠수정은 수면위로 부상(浮上)되어 모선에 해양무선통신으로 타겟 물체의 정보 및 위치 정보를 통보한 후, AUV를 잠수시키고 통보된 위치보다 설정된 거리만큼 이전의 위치로 이동시켜서 탐색을 계속하는, 수중의 타겟 물체를 수색하기 위한 자율 무인 잠수정의 운용 시스템 및 방법에 관한 것이다.
