圆弧片状声源向地层中辐射声场的有限差分模拟

提出了一种可用于随钻声波测井的非对称的圆弧片状声源,旨在发展一种能够在钻井过程中精确确定反射体位置的三维反射声波远探测方法。研究了在复杂的井孔条件(钻铤偏心、各向异性和不规则井孔形状)下,该声源向地层中辐射的声场的特征,进一步分析了不同井况条件对三维随钻远探测声波测井的影响。数值模拟结果表明,在圆形井孔、钻铤居中条件下,无论快速地层还是慢速地层,圆弧片状声源均能够向地层中定向辐射声波信号,其辐射指向性图主瓣3 dB角宽窄,旁瓣级低,方位分辨率较高,适用于随钻三维反射成像测井;井壁粗糙程度、地层各向异性等因素对声场特征影响不大,说明该方法适用于粗糙井壁和各向异性地层情况;钻铤偏心和井壁一侧的破坏对辐射声场的影响较大。对本文的模型而言,在破坏深度小于3 cm或者偏心距离小于2 cm时,声场仍有较好的方位特征,该方法仍然适用。而当破坏深度大于6 cm,声场指向性图出现多个幅值较大的角瓣,可能无法利用其确定反射体的方位。本文的研究结果为三维随钻反射声波仪的设计和研发提供了必备的理论基础。     

A robust super-resolution approach with sparsity constraint in acoustic imaging

Acoustic imaging is a standard technique for mapping acoustic source powers and positions from limited observations on microphone sensors, which often causes an ill-conditioned inverse problem. In this article, we firstly improve the forward model of acoustic power propagation by considering background noises at the sensor array, and the propagation uncertainty caused by wind tunnel effects. We then propose a robust super-resolution approach via sparsity constraint for acoustic imaging in strong background noises. The sparsity parameter is adaptively derived from the sparse distribution of source powers. The proposed approach can jointly reconstruct source powers and positions, as well as the background noise power. Our approach is compared with the conventional beamforming, deconvolution and sparse regularization methods by simulated, wind tunnel data and hybrid data respectively. It is feasible to apply the proposed approach for effectively mapping monopole sources in wind tunnel tests.     

Improving accuracy of acoustic source localization in anisotropic plates

The acoustic source localization technique for anisotropic plates proposed by the authors in an earlier publication ([1] Kundu et al., 2012) is improved in this paper by adopting some modifications. The improvements are experimentally verified on anisotropic flat and curved composite plates. Difficulties associated with the original technique were first investigated before making any modification. It was noted that the accuracy of this technique depends strongly on the accuracy of the measured time difference of arrivals (TDOA) at different receiving sensors placed in close proximity in a sensor cluster. The sensor cluster is needed to obtain the direction of the acoustic source without knowing the material properties of the plate. Two modifications are proposed to obtain the accurate TDOA. The first one is to replace the recorded full time histories by only their initial parts – the first dip and peak – for the subsequent signal processing. The second modification is to place the sensors in the sensor cluster as close as possible. It is shown that the predictions are improved significantly with these modifications. These modifications are then applied to another sensor cluster based technique called the beamforming technique, to see if similar improvements are achieved for that technique also with these modifications.     

传声器阵列特征值滤波去噪方法

作为二阶统计量的互谱矩阵(CSM)是声学成像算法的核心输入量。为增强传声器阵列的去噪表现,研究了互谱矩阵特征值滤波的机理,并提出了两种新型的特征值滤波方法的设计准则:(1)声源互谱矩阵的Stein无偏风险估计(SURE收缩),即基于SURE准则的特征值软阈值收缩;(2)进一步提高声源互谱矩阵EYM (Eckart-Young-Mirsky)估计误差的最优收缩(Opt-Shrinkage)方法,即对声源特征值所含有的噪声进一步去除。然后,在3000个快照数,0 dB信噪比(SNR),100个传声器的环境下进行仿真。通过仿真,与经典的MUSIC方法比较原声源信号与去噪后信号的互谱矩阵对角线误差,其中MUSIC方法的互谱矩阵对角线误差为74.15%,SURE收缩为41.97%,最优收缩为20.62%。并通过改变快照数、声源数与SNR,对比了不同特征值滤波去噪方法的效果。从仿真结果上看,在少声源(少于40个)工况下SURE收缩方法的去噪效果优于MUSIC方法与最优收缩方法;在声源数超过42个后,最优收缩方法取得更显著的效果。最后,在3个声源、60个传声器数、-5 dB信噪比的声源定位实验中,SURE收缩与最优收缩均获得了相比MUSIC方法更好的去噪效果。研究表明在现有传声器阵列特征值滤波方法的基础上,对特征值的进一步处理可以得到更好的去噪效果。     

The characteristics of acoustic line array prototypes for scale model experiments

The sound fields created by three different settings of a 5 m long linear loudspeaker array were studied experimentally in the present investigation in an attempt to find out a method to produce a reasonable sound field for scaled down model experiments. The first setting was with all the loudspeakers facing vertically upward, while the second setting was with all the loudspeakers facing the horizontal. The last one resembled the first setting but the loudspeakers were put inside a small partial enclosure whose opening was facing vertically upward. Results show that the last setting can produce a sound field with characteristics close to those of a two-dimensional sound field. The second setting results in a sound directivity pattern relevant to that of the measured A-weighted traffic noise.

Automatic 3D scanning surface generation for microphone array acoustic imaging

This work presents a new technique for automatically generating the 3D scanning surface for acoustic imaging using microphone arrays. Acoustic images, or maps, of sound coming from spatially distributed sources, may be generated from microphone array data using algorithms such as beamforming. Traditional 2D acoustic maps can contain errors in the near-field if the object being imaged has a 3D shape. It has been shown that using the 3D surface geometry of an object as a scanning surface for beamforming can provide more accurate results. The methods used previously to generate this 3D scanning surface have either required existing CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models of the object being acoustically imaged or have required separate equipment which is generally bulky and expensive. The new method uses one or more cameras in the array, a data projector, and structured light code to automatically generate the 3D scanning surface. This has the advantage that it is inexpensive, can be incorporated as an add-onto existing microphone arrays, has short scan time, and is capable of being extended to imaging dynamic scenes. This technique is tested using beamforming and CLEAN-SC (CLEAN based on spatial Source Coherence) algorithms for a spherical array and an Underbrink multi-arm spiral array. For sound sources located about 1.2 m from the array, the mean position errors obtained are 6 mm. This is a quarter of the diameter of the mini-speakers being used as a sound sources.

摘要单水听器和二元阵时间反转镜处理都可以有效实现目标检测和定位，但多元阵时反镜处理的定位精度和水平定位距离远优于单水听器或二元阵定位处理。本文先简述了时间反转镜定位技术的发展和近况，又详细介绍了多元阵时间反转镜定位技术的基本原理，并借鉴乘积阵处理理论利用射线传播模型给出了多元被动时间反转镜定位的算法和公式。仿真和试验数据处理证明，多元阵时反镜处理效果明显优于二元阵时间反转镜处理，即利用阵增益后时反镜性能改善明显。对四元阵海试数据时间反转镜分析处理结果表明：该方法能实现目标被动定位，且对10公里处静止目标其水平定位误差仅为15％。但该方法运算量太大，很难实现实时运算，因此，其工程应用还有许多问题待解决。

Passive imaging of wind surface flow using an infrared camera

We present a method for passive imaging of wind motion against surfaces in a scene using an infrared video camera. Because the method does not require the introduction of contrast agents for visualization, it is possible to obtain real-time surface flow measurements across large areas and in natural outdoor conditions, without prior preparation of surfaces. We show that this method can be used not just for obtaining single snapshot images but also for real-time flow video, and demonstrate that it is possible to measure under a wide range of conditions.     

Measurement of sound insulation of acoustic louvres by an impulse method

This paper presents results of a study of the sound attenuation of acoustic louvres. At the core of the study is an alternative method of measuring sound insulation, impulse response analysis, which circumvents the limitations imposed by standard and proposed standard methods. Using the impulse method, the sound transmission coefficient is measured at different angles of incidence and the angular dependency of transmission loss obtained. In the low frequency range, the transmission is governed by a mass layer effect. The value of transmission loss is independent of angle of incidence. For the mid and high frequencies, diffraction, interference and absorption determine louvre performance and an angular dependency is observed. The transmission at the angle of incidence, corresponding to a line-of-sight through the louvre blades, is the dominant contribution to the angle average value and a single measurement at the pitch of the louvre approximates the overall transmission loss. For the case considered, the geometry of the blades has little influence on the transmission at low frequencies and the mass of the blades has little influence at higher frequencies. In a companion paper, the impulse data are used to predict the insertion loss provided by the louvre when installed in a plant room.     

水下水平阵对空中运动声源的线谱探测

由于空气、海水介质声阻抗差异巨大,空中声源辐射的噪声透射入水的能量损失很大,加之水中声源目标的干扰,从水下探测空中声源相对困难。海试数据分析表明,空中高速运动声源噪声透射入水后信号较弱,在频繁存在干扰的水下声场环境中,常规宽带波束形成方法难以生效.针对空中声源普遍存在线谱的特点,首先利用线谱识别、提取与跟踪以及线谱加密技术对水下水平阵接收信号进行线谱分析,再通过剔除强干扰目标的线谱,成功分离出包含空中声源的线谱信号,实现对空中运动声源的探测,最远距离达16.8 km。通过理论和实验数据分析,验证了探测结果的正确性.     

An evaluation of low-power microphone array sound source localization for deforestation detection

Illegal deforestation is a worldwide problem which may be alleviated through technological means of deforestation monitoring, e.g. wireless sensor networks capable of identifying chain-saw noise, performing sound source localization (SSL), and alerting the authorities to the location of the illegal deforestation activity. In this paper we evaluate the feasibility of performing SSL on low-power, energy-constrained, microphone-array-equipped sensor nodes (SNs) with the Delay-and-Sum (DS) beam-forming algorithm. Our work is the first application of this technique for chain-saw noise. We evaluate array configurations of 4, 8, and 16 microphones, and a multitude of DS algorithm configurations, utilizing chain-saw recordings from the ESC dataset, which is available online. We implement the DS algorithm as a digital circuit in a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA and analyze its energy consumption. Our analysis indicates that accurate chain-saw localization can be achieved with much simpler microphone arrays and DS configurations compared to previous work. Furthermore, adding FPGA-based SSL capability to the SN increases the energy consumption by less than 10%, compared to a baseline SN capable only of chain-saw identification through spectral analysis executed in software on the SN microcontroller.

Sound field of a baffled sound source covered by an anisotropic rigid-porous material

A theoretical approach for the sound field of a piston sound source covered by a finite thickness layer of anisotropic rigid-porous material is presented. The formulation is an extension of the method worked out by Amedin et al. [Sound field of a baffled piston source covered by a porous medium layer. J Acoust Soc Am 1995;98(3):1757]. First, in the present study the sound field of a point source is described by cylindrical waves. Then, with the proper boundary conditions, the sound pressure radiated from a piston source covered by a layer of anisotropic porous material can be calculated. The effects of frequency and bulk density of material on the sound propagation in an anisotropic porous material are studied. Finally, the effect of anisotropy is discussed.

Accelerated steered response power method for sound source localization using orthogonal linear array

In microphone arrays application, it is a difficult task to accurately and fast localize sound source in a noisy, reverberant environment. In order to solve this problem, many approaches have been presented. Among them, the steered response power-phase transform weighted (SRP–PHAT) source localization algorithm has been proved robust. However, SRP–PHAT requires high computation cost for searching a large location space. To overcome this shortcoming, an improved SRP–PHAT will be presented that reduces a two-dimension searching space into a couple of one-dimension ones by using an orthogonal linear array. In this method, the parameters of direction of arrival (DOA) are separated. The main computation can be carried out independently in two one-dimension spaces, thus the computational load will be greatly cut down. Simulations show that there is no loss in accuracy in the proposed method.
