Abstract

Recently, with the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, interest in autonomous ships is increasing owing to technological advancements. Future ships are expected to gradually have lower-skilled crews because of the increasing preference for land-based work by high-capacity crews and the limitation of the number of crew members on board. Therefore, an augmented reality-based remote maintenance system is required not only to control movement and steer a ship for safe operation but also for the smooth maintenance of autonomous ships. The development of such a system is currently in progress. In an augmented reality-based remote maintenance system, visualizing only 3D models has low usability. In addition, the development of animations highly depends on the development platform, which reduces compatibility and usability. Hence, an authoring tool that can easily create maintenance animations is required. In this study, to solve these problems, we developed an authoring tool for lightweight and highly compatible maintenance animations by creating a neutral format for maintenance animations in the form of a JSON file. In addition, we verified usability by developing a prototype and verified compatibility with other platforms. Finally, we verified the validity of the proposed authoring tool through comparison with software that can create animations.

최근 4차 산업 혁명의 도래와 함께 기술의 발전에 따라 자율운항 선박에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 미래의 선박은 고기량 선원들의 육상 근무 선호도 증가와 승선 인원 제한으로 인해 점차적으로 낮은 기량의 선원들이 승선하며 선원 수가 감소될 전망이다. 따라서 선박의 안전 운항을 위한 운동 및 조종의 제어뿐만 아니라 자율운항 선박의 원활한 유지보수를 위해 증강현실 기반의 원격 유지보수 시스템이 필요하며 현재 개발이 활발히 진행 중이다. 증강현실 기반 원격 유지보수 시스템에서는 3D모델만 가시화하는 것은 활용성이 떨어진다. 또한, 애니메이션을 개발하는 것은 개발 플랫폼에 대한 의존도가 높기 때문에 호환성 및 활용성이 떨어진다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 손쉽게 정비 애니메이션을 만들 수 있는 저작도구가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Json 파일 형식으로 정비 애니메이션 중립 포맷을 만들어 경량화 및 호환성 높은 정비 애니메이션을 위한 저작도구를 개발하였다. 또한, 프로토타입을 개발하여 활용성을 검증하였고, 다른 플랫폼과의 호환성 검증을 진행하였다. 마지막으로, 애니메이션을 제작할 수 있는 소프트웨어와의 비교를 통해 제안한 저작도구의 유효성을 입증하였다.
