Description

A kind of underwater sound Doppler's flow velocity measurement screened based on autocorrelation estimation and valid data Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to acoustic Doppler field of measuring technique, more particularly to one kind to be based on autocorrelation estimation and valid data Underwater sound Doppler's flow-speed measurement method of screening.
Background technique
Water volume flow rate, movement velocity of submarine target etc. are very important measurement objects in underwater acoustic measurement.Common water Sound flow-speed measurement method is based on doppler principle mostly, and the equipment of flow measurement includes acoustic Doppler fluid velocity profile instrument and acoustics Doppler velocimeter etc..The course of work of the common sonar that tests the speed is as follows: emitting a carrier frequency to detection waters first is The modulation short pulse of tens kHz to several hundred kHz, sound wave encounter the scatterer in water and generate sound scattering, wherein extremely low power dissipate Penetrate sound wave and can be received energy converter and receive and be converted into electric signal, then through signal condition, quadrature demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion and signal at Echo strength, the water velocity etc. of the detection each water layer in waters are obtained after reason.
Discovery often will appear some flow velocity numerical value substantial deviation mean values when sonar measured data is tested the speed in analysis Sampled point, therefore carry out the judgement of the quality of data in signal processing stage and then carry out screening to echo data to be necessary.Stream The fluctuation of fast numerical value most direct reaction on frequency spectrum is exactly the broadening of echo spectrum width.Lower surface analysis causes echo spectrum wide The factor of broadening is spent, provides theories integration to generate the criterion of the quality of data.(1) consistency of scatterer speed.Natural water The volume of middle scatterer is usually very small for the launching beam range of exposures of sonar.Such as the scatterer in seawater Partial size is mostly distributed in 20 μm~200 μ ms, and the irradiation by taking beam angle is 3 ° of wave beam as an example, at distance R Diameter is approximately equal to 0.052R, is far longer than the partial size of scatterer.Therefore the doppler information of echo is by beam at distance R The motion conditions of all scatterers are formed by stacking in range.If the rate uniformity of these scatterers is preferable, echo frequency The broadening of spectrum is with regard to unobvious;If their speed difference is larger, the obvious broadening of echo spectrum can be brought.Spectrum width more it is wide then The estimated standard deviation of Doppler frequency shift is bigger, and the flow velocity estimated deviates mean value can be bigger.Here it is estimating according to spectrum width Evaluation judges the theory support of the quality of data.(2) width and transmitted bandwidth of acoustic wave beam.The width of launching beam is wider, Mean beam range bigger in same depth, i.e., the superposition of more scatterer kinetic characteristics, this will increase echo The standard deviation of width and the flow velocity estimation of frequency spectrum.The bandwidth of operation of transmitter and energy converter is bigger, it is meant that is actually transmitted to water In waveform bandwidth widen, and then bring the increase of echo spectrum width.It is similar with pulse width factor, sound actual for one For equipment, this factor is determining to the influence degree of spectrum width.(3) factor of signal-to-noise ratio is reduced.Influence echo The factor of signal-to-noise ratio mainly has transmission power, propagation distance, scattering bulk concentration etc..After signal-to-noise ratio decline, echo spectrum width It can broaden therewith, the standard deviation of flow velocity estimation can increase with it.Transmission power is smaller, the more remote then echo signal-to-noise ratio of propagation distance more Small, this is obvious.Scatterer quantity seldom will lead to echo signal-to-noise ratio and be decreased obviously in water.Conversely, scattering bulk concentration It will form greatly very much and swallow echo blocked, and then reduce its signal-to-noise ratio.(4) velocity flow profile is uneven.Flow velocity is uneven The even influence to echo spectrum width has two levels.One is, then scattering in each water layer faster along beam direction change in flow Body speed difference is bigger, and echo spectrum width can broaden naturally, and when being layered flow velocity estimation, standard deviation just be will increase.The second is upper water The flowing of body is the movement of Acoustic Wave Propagation medium for the echo of lower water column, can bring additional Doppler frequency shift, into And the frequency spectrum of echo can be broadened.It should be noted that the more big such influence of the difference of upper and lower level flow velocity is more obvious.In short, from estimating Meter spectrum width angle establish a kind of echo quality judgment method be it is feasible, can make up and be moved by scatterer to a certain extent Characteristic is inconsistent and echo signal-to-noise ratio decline bring flow velocity estimated standard deviation increases.

When actual measurement, the flow velocity autocorrelation estimation precision criterion η (v) of general shallow-layer water body is greater than swallow, so, Acoustic Doppler fluid velocity profile instrument is used as sample after the echo data once emitted, calculates effective water layer second layer first Flow velocity echo autocorrelation estimation precision criterion η (v), when threshold value value be 0.3 when, if the value of η (v) be less than threshold value 0.3, Then give up current sample, if the value of η (v) is greater than or equal to threshold value 0.3, retains current sample.
By taking the test data of one time, the Nanjing Qinhuaihe River as an example, the depth of water of section is sampled all in 5m or more, the 1st layer is blind area, institute All it is effective water layer with the 2nd~10 layer, chooses the 2nd layer of wave beam 3 as analysis object, total number of samples 100.Test sound used The parameter for learning Doppler's flow velocity section plotter (ADCP) is tranmitting frequency 600kHz, wavelength X 2.5mm, complex autocorrelation counting period τ For 140 μ s, water body lift height is 0.42m, and transmitted waveform is coding phase-modulated signal.
Fig. 2 is the curve graph drawn out in 100 samples using the radial flow speed that complex autocorrelation method estimates, 100 The error of the radial flow speed estimated value and mean value that have multiple samples in sample is significantly greater than other samples, belongs to outlier.Fig. 3 is original In 100 samples use flow velocity autocorrelation estimation precision criterion η (v) curve graph, from Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 it does not appear that The relationship of flow velocity autocorrelation estimation precision criterion η (v) and the value of flow velocity estimation, for this purpose, certainly by the flow velocity of 100 samples in Fig. 3 The value of correlation estimation precision criterion η (v) by being ranked up from small to large, and by the sample order of ranking results to the number in Fig. 1 According to being reset, then calculate reset after in Fig. 1 at each sample point before to all samples standard deviation, Fig. 4 is in 100 samples To standard deviation and flow velocity autocorrelation estimation precision criterion η (v) graph of relation before flow velocity, figure 4, it is seen that with η (v) The dull of numerical value increases, and the standard deviation of ADCP flow velocity estimation reduces in approximation is dull, this phenomenon and theory analysis coincide, and demonstrate The validity of the method for the present invention.
As shown in Fig. 2, the standard deviation of 100 sample point radial flow speeds is in the case where no progress data screening 0.779m/s;As shown in figure 5, remaining the data of 70 sample points after the screening of flow velocity estimated accuracy criterion, screening is surplus The standard deviation of 70 remaining sample points is 0.422m/s, and how general the underwater sound of the invention screened based on autocorrelation estimation and valid data is It strangles flow-speed measurement method and flow velocity estimated standard deviation is reduced about 46%, hence it is evident that reduce the variance of flow velocity estimation, improve underwater sound stream The performance of fast measuring device.
