An exact, linear solution to the problem of imaging through turbulence

We show how, in principle, to solve the ‘blind deconvolution' problem. This is in the context of the problem of imaging through atmospheric turbulence. The approach is digital but not iterative, and requires as input data but two short-exposure intensity images, without the need for reference point sources. By taking the Fourier transform of each image and dividing, a set of linear equations is generated whose unknowns are sampled values of the two random point spread functions that degraded the images. An oversampling by 50% in Fourier space equalizes the number of unknowns and independent equations. With some prior knowledge of spread function support, and in the absence of added noise of image detection, the inverted equations give exact solutions. The two observed images are then inverse filtered to reconstruct the object.     

利用冲击声辨识声源材料的特征提取

声源辨识属于环境声识别的范畴,是模式识别的一个重要研究方向。冲击声携带了大量的声源物理信息,因此利用冲击声提取特征进行声源材料辨识是提高声目标识别分类性能的重要途径。对球-板撞击物理模型合成的冲击声连续统,提出使用基函数学习法提取目标特征,同时利用短时傅里叶变换和小波包变换进行特征提取,以此为基础完成被击平板的材料识别。研究结果表明,利用基函数学习法获得的特征,对于冲击声分类的效果明显优于短时傅里叶变换和小波包变换方法,说明利用该方法进行冲击声声源材料辨识的可行性和优势。      

Real-time near-field acoustic holography for continuously visualizing nonstationary acoustic fields

Near-field acoustic holography (NAH) is an effective tool for visualizing acoustic sources from pressure measurements made in the near-field of sources using a microphone array. The method involving the Fourier transform and some processing in the frequency-wavenumber domain is suitable for the study of stationary acoustic sources, providing an image of the spatial acoustic field for one frequency. When the behavior of acoustic sources fluctuates in time, NAH may not be used. Unlike time domain holography or transient method, the method proposed in the paper needs no transformation in the frequency domain or any assumption about local stationary properties. It is based on a time formulation of forward sound prediction or backward sound radiation in the time-wavenumber domain. The propagation is described by an analytic impulse response used to define a digital filter. The implementation of one filter in forward propagation and its inverse to recover the acoustic field on the source plane implies by simulations that real-time NAH is viable. Since a numerical filter is used rather than a Fourier transform of the time-signal, the emission on a point of the source may be rebuilt continuously and used for other post-processing applications.     

Feature extraction for sound source material recognition with impact sounds

Sound source recognition is a part of environmental sound recognition,which is one of the most important research areas in pattern recognition.Impact sounds carry much physical information associated with the sound sources,which makes impact sound based sound source recognition an important approach to improve recognition performance.In this study,the impact sound continuum synthesized with a ball-plate collision model is used for material recognition of the impacted plates.The basis function learning method and time-frequency representation methods,including the short time Fourier transform and the wavelet packet transform,are applied into classification and the recognition results are compared.The result shows that the features obtained by using the basis function learning perform better for material classification of the impacted plates than that by using the short time Fourier transform and the wavelet packet transform.This demonstrates the high efficiency and superiority of this method in material recognition of sound sources.     

浅海中运动声源径向速度与距离的无源估计

针对浅海波导中声源距离的无源估计问题,提出了一种环境参数和声场模型无关的、不依赖于引导声源的运动声源径向速度以及距离估计方法。该方法首先通过双水听器低频声场强度距离波数谱变换(R-K)的相位差获得干涉简正波水平波数,对水平波数轴定标来估计运动声源的径向速度。进一步地,对接收信号自相关函数进行WARPING变换得到运动声源距离的无源估计。对于反射类简正波为主的声场,在某一假定距离下根据某两时刻接收信号WARPING变换后干涉简正波谱峰频率与假定距离的关系估计距离;对于反射类或折射类简正波为主的声场,根据两个时刻接收信号的β-WARPING变换后干涉简正波的脉冲时延估计距离的值。数值仿真分析了等声速、负梯度以及温跃层3种水文环境下的噪声以及环境宽容性,结果表明径向速度与距离的估计不依赖于环境参数。利用2005年北黄海实验数据验证了方法的可行性,径向速度与距离的估计值与实际值符合良好。      

Spectrograms of single-type modes and their application to problems of sound source localization in oceanic waveguides

The previously proposed method for selecting groups of single-type wave fieldmodes in oceanic waveguides, based on a double Fourier transform of the interference pattern formed by a moving sound source, is theoretically substantiated. This procedure, which is possible due to the invariance of the frequency shift of field maxima with respect to the numbers of interfering single-type modes, leads to spectral density localization. The sizes of acceptable localization domain and spectral density distribution are estimated. The results of a natural experiment on application of this procedure to problems of detection of a sound source and estimation of its radial velocity and distance from receiver are reported.     

Random to deterministic transform

A method of transforming an ergodic random signal to its deterministic equivalent is presented. The transform requires that the spectral density of the random signal should be known. It also depends on the ability to obtain the inverse Fourier transform of a function. A specific relationship is developed to evaluate the root mean square of a random signal based on its deterministic equivalent. A sample application is presented to demonstrate that a step input can be equivalent to a hyperbolic spectral density. A linear system is subjected to the hyperbolic spectral density and the equivalent step. The calculated root mean square outputs are found to be identical. Deterministic equivalents for other random signals are also indicated.

Sound source localization in an ocean waveguide

A robust algorithm for sound source localization in shallow sea based on a 2D Fourier transform of source motion interference patterns is developed. A spectrogram in time-frequency coordinates obtained after a Fourier transform contains localized areas of spectral density intensity of constructively interfering modes and a distributed area of noise spectral density. Signal spectral density is localized in an area whose linear sizes are determined by the lowest frequency and spatial scales of field variability. The peak input signal-to-noise ratio is estimated for a single receiver when robust detection is ensured and estimates of speed and initial distance to the receiver are close to the actual values. The high robustness of the algorithm is based on the coherent summation of mode amplitudes occurring at different times. Experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm are presented. For higher than peak signal-to-noise ratios, random estimates of the parameters are close to their statistically average values.

An exact representation of the scattered sound pressure field is obtained as a combination of the radiation of the image source and layer potentials. Approximations are given when the point spherical source is located on the interface.

Fast imaging algorithm for DMD-based photolithography with partially coherent illumination

In the paper, the characteristic of imaging with digital micro-mirror device (DMD) illuminated by a partially coherent light is discussed using Abbe's method. When a mask is sampled by DMD, the intensity in the substrate is modulated by sinc function and cut off by pupil function, according to oblique illumination theory and Fourier transform property of exponential function, a fast partially coherent imaging algorithm for DMD-based dynamic projection photolithography is proposed to combine Hopkins's method with Abbe's method. In the algorithm, the transmission cross coefficient (TCC) matrix of DMD projection photolithography is constructed as two-matrix multiplication according to illuminate source points. The new development presented in this paper utilizes matrix multiplication technique to speed up the computation of TCC matrix by tenfold on an average, which is beneficial to real time mask shift and mask optimization in DMD-based gray-tone photolithography.

基于多域特征提取和深度学习的声源被动测距*

由于实际海洋环境中存在大量的非高斯噪声,一些基于高斯假设的传统去噪方法在实际海洋环境中性能下降甚至失效。针对非高斯噪声,如α稳定分布噪声、非平稳行船噪声下的脉冲信号的去噪与重构,该文提出一种基于深度学习的方法。去噪模型首先通过学习带噪信号短时傅里叶变换谱与残差谱之间的映射关系以去除环境噪声,之后对去噪信号的时频谱进行逆变换重构脉冲信号。仿真实验结果表明,深度学习模型在非高斯噪声环境下脉冲信号的去噪与重构任务中有着良好的表现,在实测样本上也表现出良好的泛化性,体现了一定的工程应用价值。     

Possibilities and limits of sound power measurements with a real-time intensity analyzer

The sound power of a number of test objects was determined from spatially averaged intensity measurements. The results show that the influence of room acoustics is insignificant even for rooms of widely different room constants, if the measuring surfaces are exactly defined and if a good space-averaging technique is used. The intensity integrated over a closed surface defining a source-free space compared to the sound pressure integrated over the same surface gives a measure of the capability of a specific intensity measuring system to suppress external noise. For the test arrangements measured with broad band noise, this suppression was found to be 14–18 dB(A). A similar value of 15 dB was found from sound power measurements on a source with high external sound and an analysis of the results in one-third octave bands. From these measurements an analytical function was derived which describes the average error of the spatially averaged intensity as a function of the difference between the external sound level and the source sound level. For practical measurement situations a further analytical function was derived which gives this intensity error as a function of the difference between the measured (spatially averaged) pressure and intensity levels. Thus it is possible to estimate the error of intensity measurements directly from measured intensity and pressure data.

On the recovery of moving source characteristics using time–frequency approach

Four time–frequency analysis techniques, namely the short-time Fourier transform, the wavelet transform, the polynomial phase estimation and the Chirplet transform, are used in the present study to recover the moving speed, the sound frequency and the strength of a point source moving with a subsonic speed relevant to those of the road vehicles. Their performances in the presence of background random noises are tested in detail. The instant of the highest rate of change of the Doppler frequency is used as the time reference in the parameter recovery process. Results suggest that the performances of short-time Fourier transform and the wavelet transform, especially the former, are not satisfactory when compared to those of the other two methods even when the signal-to-noise ratio is reasonably high. The Chirplet transform gives a performance which is the least affected by the signal-to-noise ratio, while the accuracy of the polynomial phase estimation is the best among the four methods tested.
