Experimental investigation of the detection and location of a target in layered media by using the TR-RTM mixed method

Targets in layered media can be detected and located using a time reversal(TR)-reversed-time migration(RTM) mixed method.In this study, this single emission-multiple receiving method is tested experimentally by using two types of layered media and three types of targets. The signal reflected at the interface and the signal scattered by the target are measured by each receiver to obtain the travel time for several transmitter-receiver pairs. Thereafter, the amplitude ratio between the two measured signals is compared with the theoretical amplitude. The RTM process involves the convolution of the forward acoustic beam from the source with the backward acoustic beam from the receiver which adds an appropriate delay determined on the measured travel time data. By using this approach, the acoustic field distribution can be obtained, and the position of the target can be determined.Moreover, the measured positions of the target are compared with the actual position to validate the accuracy of this technique.     

基于分组时延预处理的时域波束形成方法*

对于不等强度多目标情况下的弱目标检测问题,依据波束形成归一化指向性函数在目标方向上输出值为1、在非目标方向上输出值为小于1的特性,提出一种基于分组时延预处理的时域波束形成方法。该方法首先对线列阵接收数据进行分组处理;然后,按搜索角度对各组数据进行时延预处理,并对各组预处理结果进行相加,得到一组新数据;最后,对该组新数据按时域波束形成进行处理,得到该搜索角度对应波束值。理论推导、数值仿真和试验数据处理结果均表明：相比常规时域波束形成,该方法所得波束形成指向性函数发生了变化,旁瓣级得到了13dB以上的改善,降低了强目标旁瓣级对弱目标检测的影响。     

时间反转和逆时偏移混合法用于层状介质中目标的声学检测和定位

一般超声回波检测、时间反转和逆时偏移技术,都不能将界面附近的目标(缺陷)检测出来。这是因为目标反射波和界面(或底面)反射波相重叠的缘故。虽然改进的时间反转法(即换元的时间反转法)能够区别目标和界面(或底面),但还是不能定位。本文提出一种时间反转和逆时偏移混合方法。分析和仿真结果表明该方法不但能够鉴别出层状介质中的目标,而且可以定位。对于多个目标,也能给出其位置分布图。特别地,本文方法对于分层介质中的缺陷和浅海海底下的目标检测和定位具有重要的潜在价值。      

多输入多输出与时反联合的波导声呐有源目标定位

为了提高对浅海静止小目标的探测能力,提出了将多输入多输出和时反处理相结合的波导声呐处理框架。利用收发合置垂直阵,假设目标为点目标,每一个阵元轮流时反发射正交信号照射目标,整个阵接收对应的目标回波。当所有的阵元发射正交信号结束以后,对所有接收的目标回波数据进行分集处理,然后与时反发射驾驶向量做匹配滤波完成对目标的定位。分时发射策略克服了水声信道时延扩展和多普勒扩展导致常规多输入多输出处理接收端不同回波信号分离的困难。采用物理时反发射和数值时反接收聚焦,有助于抑制混响、提高回混比。数值仿真和波导水池实验结果表明多输入多输出时反处理较常规的有源匹配场处理以更高的精度对波导中的目标进行定位。      

Detection and Location of a Target in Layered Media by Snapshot Time Reversal and Reverse Time Migration Mixed Method

A target in layered medium can be located by the ridge-like distribution time reversal and reverse time migration(TR-RTM) mixed method. However, this method cannot distinguish between acoustic field distributions of the interface and target for the wider acoustic pulse signals, which may result in inaccurate location of the target. A snapshot TR-RTM mixed method is proposed to solve this problem. The principle of snapshot TR-RTM mixed method is first given. Experiments are then carried out, and a mountain-like acoustic field distribution is obtained by processing experimental data. The results show that the location of the peak is that of the target, and the ratio of the scattered signal and interface reflection signal(signal-to-interference ratio) is improved by about four times after processing. Furthermore, this method can effectively suppress the interface reflection signal and enhance the target scattering signal. Therefore, it can achieve effective detection and location of a target in a layered medium.     

Numerical time reversal of waves

A numerical time reversal of waves is proposed instead of the conventional time reversal of wave procedure used in underwater acoustics. In the numerical method, the test sound source and the receiving arrays are used, as in the conventional method, but the transmission of the received signals after their time reversal into the same medium, as well as the measurement of the field obtained in this way at the point of the test source, is replaced by computations. To use the proposed technique for obtaining the same results as those provided by the conventional time reversal of waves, the teset source should be placed at different depths. A simplified numerical algorithm with the test source operating at a single depth is proposed and justified. This version of the time reversal of waves is successfully applied to the experiment in the Barents Sea. In contrast to the conventional method, the proposed technique allows one to study the stability of the sea medium with currents.

Measuring the radiation force of megahertz ultrasound acting on a solid spherical scatterer

The paper considers the problem of precise measurement of the acoustic radiation force of an ultrasonic beam on targets in the form of solid spherical scatterers. Using known analytic relations, a numerical model is developed to perform calculations for different sizes of spherical scatterers and arbitrary frequencies of the incident acoustic wave. A novel method is proposed for measuring the radiation force, which is based on the principle of acoustic echolocation. The radiation force is measured experimentally in a wide range of incident wave intensities using two chosen methods differing in the way the location of the target is controlled.

Hybrid multi-resolution detection of moving targets in infrared imagery

A hybrid moving target detection approach in multi-resolution framework for thermal infrared imagery is presented. Background subtraction and optical flow methods are widely used to detect moving targets. However, each method has some pros and cons which limits the performance. Conventional background subtraction is affected by dynamic noise and partial extraction of targets. Fast independent component analysis based background subtraction is efficient for target detection in infrared image sequences; however the noise increases for small targets. Well known motion detection method is optical flow. Still the method produces partial detection for low textured images and also computationally expensive due to gradient calculation for each pixel location. The synergistic approach of conventional background subtraction, fast independent component analysis and optical flow methods at different resolutions provide promising detection of targets with reduced time complexity. The dynamic background noise is compensated by the background update. The methodology is validated with benchmark infrared image datasets as well as experimentally generated infrared image sequences of moving targets in the field under various conditions of varying illumination, ambience temperature and the distance of the target from the sensor location. The significant value of F-measure validates the efficiency of the proposed methodology with high confidence of detection and low false alarms.

基于两次谱分析的时延估计方法研究

时延估计是目标定位跟踪系统的关键技术之一,在水声、雷达、声探测等领域广泛应用。时延估计的基本方法是互相关法和相位谱法。互相关法时延估计分辨率与信号带宽近似成反比,因此很难估计多目标时延。相位谱时延估计只能估计单目标时延,并且存在相位解绕问题。本文提出了两次谱分析时延估计方法,即将互功率谱函数再次进行谱估计,二次谱峰值位置间距即为时延估计,这种方法既能够估计单目标时延,又能够估计多目标时延,并且不用相位解绕。仿真计算验证了两次谱时延估计方法的可行性。     

Pekeris波导中简正波的复声强及其应用

在Pekeris波导模型下,关注了简正波的矢量场,讨论了简正波水平复声强和垂直复声强的表述,并分析了其特征.单阶简正波在水平方向是行波,相应的水平复声强仅为有功的;在垂直方向为驻波,相应的垂直复声强仅为无功的.而多阶简正波相互干涉,因此总声场的复声强既有有功分量,也有无功分量,其中只有有功分量参与声能的输运,但无功分量是反映声场信息的重要组成部分.通过对垂直(交互)复声强无功分量和水平交互复声强有功分量的数值分析,对于甚低频率的点源声场,发现当声源深度变化时,上述声场分量的正负号呈有规变化,当接收传感器置 关键词： 目标深度分类 复声强 矢量场 Pekeris波导

提出了一种融合多平台方位观测数据的水下声学目标定位跟踪方法。该方法采用多级多假设跟踪对目标状态进行滤波和关联,第一级基于每个平台波束域检测结果独立使用多假设跟踪方法对目标方位角进行初级跟踪;第二级首先通过多平台联合似然概率估计多目标初始位置,再用多假设跟踪方法对不同平台初级跟踪的方位角航迹进行关联,最后通过关联的角度值和扩展卡尔曼滤波对多目标位置进行序贯估计。仿真结果证明,该方法能以更少计算量实现更优定位性能,优于单级多假设跟踪方法.海试数据处理结果表明,存在较多干扰的情况下,单级方法跟踪过程中丢失目标,而多级方法实现了对目标的全程跟踪,且收敛后定位误差在70m内。该方法可降低噪声干扰对数据关联及目标定位的影响,并通过多平台协同消除线阵的方位模糊,适用于移动多平台声学目标定位和跟踪场景。

TR-MIMO detection of a small target in a shallow water waveguide environment

A kind of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sonar model is presented for enhancing detection of small targets in an underwater acoustic waveguide. A co-located vertical linear array is partitioned into several sub-arrays illuminating orthogonal waveforms at a target of interest. When the target is modeled as an extended target consisting of multiple scatterers, time reversal is utilized in the MIMO transmission scheme for capturing target diversity. The feasibility of time-reversal beams simultaneously esonifying the target’s scatterers is verified by the analysis of spatial–temporal focusing in simulations. The tank experimental results have further demonstrated the effectiveness of the TR-MIMO sonar model.
