Distributed sound source localization algorithm with sound velocity calibration in windy environments

A new sound source localization method with sound speed compensation is proposed to reduce the wind influence on the performance of conventional TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) algorithms. First, the sound speed is described as a set of functions of the unknown source location, to approximate the acoustic velocity field distribution in the wind field. Then,they are introduced into the TDOA algorithm, to construct nonlinear equations. Finally, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to estimate the source location. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the localization accuracy for different wind velocities, source locations and test area sizes. The experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce localization errors to about 40% of the original error in a four nodes localization system.     

An analysis of the wide area differential method of geostationary orbit satellites

This work aims to obtain a wide area differential method for geostationary orbit (GEO) constellation. A comparison between the dilution of precision (DOP) of four-dimensional (4D) calculation including satellite clock errors and ephemeris errors and that of three-dimensional (3D) calculation only including ephemeris errors with the inverse positioning theory of GPS shows the conclusion that all the 3D PDOPs are greatly reduced. Based on this, a basic idea of correcting satellite clock errors and ephemeris errors apart is put forward, and moreover, a specific method of separation is proposed. Satellite clock errors are separated in a master station with time synchronization, and all the remaining pseudo-range errors after the satellite clock errors have been deducted are used to work out ephemeris corrections of all GEO satellites. By a comparative analysis of user positioning accuracy before and after differential, the wide area differential method is verified to be quite valid for GEO constellation.

Doppler characterization of laser inter-satellite links for optical LEO satellite constellations

Because of ensuring very low propagation delay between satellites, and providing global space-based broadband network services, low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations with laser inter-satellite links (ISLs) are considered to be the enabling technology to satisfy the increasing data traffic demand. However, significant Doppler can be observed by the onboard terminals on the ISLs, due to the high relative speed of the two communicating LEO satellites. This paper describes an analytic derivation of the Doppler wavelength shift measured by the terminal onboard a satellite on the signal transmitted through the ISLs. The Point-Ahead Mechanism of the optical ISLs is considered in the analytical expression of the Doppler wavelength shift. Then, in terms of the ISLs characteristics of the satellite constellations, the expression of Doppler wavelength shift is deduced into two aspects. First, for the full time accessing ISLs, it evolves as a function of the constellation parameters. Thus, the Doppler characterization for two kinds of interorbit full time accessing ISLs of LEO satellite constellations is analyzed. Second, for the intermittent accessing ISLs, the expression of Doppler wavelength shift is given as a function of the minimum ISL distance between two communicating satellites. And the visibility duration of the destination satellite at the source satellite is estimated for the intermittent ISLs. This work is helpful to evaluate the design of constellation networking.

The method and experiment analysis of two-way common-view satellite time transfer for compass system

Time synchronization between ground and satellites is a key technology for satellite navigation system. With dual-channel satellite, a method called Two-Way Common-View(TWCV) satellite time transfer for Compass system is proposed, which combines both characteristics of satellite common-view and two-way satellite-ground time transfer. By satellite-ground two-way pseudo-range differencing and two stations common-view differencing, this TWCV method can completely eliminate the influence of common errors, such as satellite clock offset, ephemeris errors, troposphere delay and station coordinates errors. At the same time, ionosphere delay related to signal frequency is also weakened significantly. So the precision of time transfer is improved much more greatly than before. In this paper, the basic principle is introduced in detail, the effect of major errors is analyzed and the practical calculation model in the Earth-fixed coordinate system for this new method is provided. Finally, experiment analysis is conducted with actual Compass observing data. The results show that the deviation and the stability of the satellite dual channel can be better than 0.1 ns, and the accuracy of the two-way common-view satellite time transfer can achieve 0.4 ns. All these results have verified the correctness of this TWCV method and model. In addition, we compare this TWCV satellite time transfer with the independent C-band TWSTFT(Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer). It shows that the result of the TWCV satellite time transfer is in accordance with the C-band TWSTFT result, which further suggests that the TWCV method is a remote high precision time transfer technique. The research results in this paper are very important references for the development and application of Compass satellite navigation system.     

Underwater target localization using long baseline positioning system

The absolute position of an underwater target is difficult to pinpoint because the global positioning system (GPS) cannot penetrate water bodies. The long baseline (LBL) positioning system can extend GPS using high-precision calibrated underwater beacons as references. While traditional LBL systems give the target position without considering calibration error of deployed beacons. To solve this problem, we propose a method different from previous works, that combining the errors of observations together. We use GPS outputs as true values to evaluate the localization performance. An LBL system with four beacons was installed in deep sea to test the results. The positioning accuracy in deep sea improves nearly 5 m. The results suggest that beacon positioning errors have a great impact on localization precision, that is significant in high-precision positioning tasks.     

A simplex method for the orbit determination of maneuvering satellites

A simplex method of orbit determination (SMOD) is presented to solve the problem of orbit determination for maneuvering satellites subject to small and continuous thrust. The objective function is established as the sum of the nth powers of the observation errors based on global positioning satellite (GPS) data. The convergence behavior of the proposed method is analyzed using a range of initial orbital parameter errors and n values to ensure the rapid and accurate convergence of the SMOD. For an uncontrolled satellite, the orbit obtained by the SMOD provides a position error compared with GPS data that is commensurate with that obtained by the least squares technique. For low Earth orbit satellite control, the precision of the acceleration produced by a small pulse thrust is less than 0.1% compared with the calibrated value. The orbit obtained by the SMOD is also compared with weak GPS data for a geostationary Earth orbit satellite over several days. The results show that the position accuracy is within 12.0 m. The working efficiency of the electric propulsion is about 67% compared with the designed value. The analyses provide the guidance for subsequent satellite control. The method is suitable for orbit determination of maneuvering satellites subject to small and continuous thrust.     

A non-circular iris localization algorithm using image projection function and gray level statistics

Iris recognition technology identifies an individual from its iris texture with great precision. A typical iris recognition system comprises eye image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction, and matching. However, the system precision greatly depends on accurate iris localization in the segmentation module. In this paper, we propose a reliable iris localization algorithm. First, we locate a coarse eye location in an eye image using integral projection function (IPF). Next, we localize the pupillary boundary in a sub image using a reliable technique based on the histogram-bisection, image statistics, eccentricity, and object geometry. After that, we localize the limbic boundary using a robust scheme based on the radial gradients and an error distance transform. Finally, we regularize the actual iris boundaries using active contours. The proposed algorithm is tested on public iris databases: MMU V1.0, CASIA-IrisV1, and the CASIA-IrisV3-Lamp. Experimental results demonstrate superiority of the proposed algorithm over some of the contemporary techniques.     

Acoustic localization scheme and accuracy analysis for underwater vertical moving target using seabed stations

To measure the trajectory of an underwater vertical moving target(UVMT) in transient motion with high accuracy and high frame rate,an acoustic localization model using seabed stations with an acoustic beacon was presented.A solution algorithm based on the Gauss-Newton method was derived,which was shown to satisfy the local linear convergence.Accuracy analysis of the numerical simulation indicated that the station location,sound velocity,and signal time delay estimation errors were propagated to location parameters through measurement ranges,and the main affecting factors included the station geometry,target relative location,and acoustic conditions.Vertical accuracy was improved using a supplemental surface station coupled with the seabed stations.Detailed characteristics were indicated by accuracy distribution from the full test sea area.A 14-station array composed of 13 seabed stations and 1 surface station in a test sea of 1 km x 1 km and 60 m in depth demonstrated that the average root mean square errors(RMSEs) in the x,y,and z directions were 0.30,1.47,and0.34 m,respectively,in the vertical range of 35-60 m.This work provided a technical approach for UVMT localization,which would be useful for designing related measurement systems.
