About

Ho Gyu Park is a researcher specializing in underwater robotics and sensor simulation, with a particular focus on sonar systems and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation. His most cited work, "Development of a side scan sonar module for the underwater simulator" (2017, 21 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field of underwater simulation by implementing a Side Scan Sonar (SSS) module within the UnderWater Simulator (UWSim) framework. Park's key innovation lies in adopting the Lambertian diffusion model to generate realistic simulated SSS images, while modeling the beam profile using a pair of sine wave functions—an approach that enhances the fidelity of underwater sensor simulation for training and testing autonomous systems. This work has been instrumental for researchers developing and validating AUV navigation algorithms in simulated environments before real-world deployment. Park's research bridges the gap between virtual simulation and practical underwater operations, enabling more efficient development of sonar-based perception systems. His contributions are particularly valuable for advancing autonomous underwater exploration, marine archaeology, and offshore infrastructure inspection, where reliable sonar simulation is critical for system development and operator training.
