Description

Target detection and positioning method in layered medium without prior knowledge
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic detection, in particular to a target detection and positioning method in a layered medium without prior knowledge.
Background
Time reversal is a method of focusing through a medium (including heterogeneous media) without a priori knowledge. I.e. the acoustic pulses emitted by the individual acoustic sources, arrive at a point in space at different times. And time reversal operation is used, so that the time is fast, the time is transmitted later, the time is slow, the time is transmitted first, the target points are reached at the same time, and the target detection is realized. But the biggest disadvantage of this technique is that it cannot be positioned. For a layered medium, the signals of the interface and the signals scattered by the target overlap and cannot be distinguished after time reversal processing.
In physical flash (vol 36, No. 11), a hybrid TR-rtm (time reversal and reverse time migration) method of time reversal and reverse time migration of snapshots of target detection and positioning in layered media was proposed, which enables detection and positioning of targets in layered media. But this approach requires a priori knowledge of the layered media. Therefore, without prior knowledge (i.e., unknown configurations of the sound velocities of the upper and lower layer media and the interface), it is difficult to detect and locate the target in the layered media.

The specific coordinates of the object O in fig. 1 are detected and located by using the object detection and location method as shown in fig. 2. The method comprises the following specific steps:
step S100: n array elements are arranged on the first surface at equal intervals, wherein the first array element is positioned at the origin of coordinates of a rectangular coordinate system, and the rest n-1 array elements are arranged at equal intervals along the direction of an x axis; each array element is sequentially used as a transmitting array element to transmit acoustic pulses, n array elements are used as receiving array elements, and each receiving array element receives n acoustic pulses which reach receiving signals of the receiving array elements after being reflected by an actual interface and scattered by a target; determining a reverse sound beam corresponding to each received signal according to the n x n received signals; the receiving signals comprise reflection signals of the acoustic pulses passing through the actual interface and scattering signals of the target; the acoustic pulse is used as a forward acoustic beam, namely the number of the forward acoustic beam is determined by the number of the transmitting array elements, and the n transmitting array elements correspond to the n forward acoustic beams.
Specifically, the coordinates are (a)i0) as a transmitting array element T with the coordinate of (a)jAnd 0) as a reception array element R, and performs one-shot reception of an acoustic pulse. By array elementsT-transmit forward acoustic beam Fi(t) in the layered medium, the forward sound beam is received by the array element R after reflection of the actual interface and scattering of the target O. The received signals p (t) are mainly the reflected signals of the actual interface and the scattered signals of the target O.
Further, the received signal P (t) is time-reversed to obtain a time-reversed signal

The time reversal signal is sent out by the array element R after advancing a travel time difference, and the sent out signal is the reverse sound beam Rij(t) of (d). Wherein, one travel time difference is the second travel time from array element R to object O

Specifically, the coordinates are (a)i0) as a transmitting array element T with the coordinate of (a)jAnd 0) as a reception array element R, and performs one-shot reception of an acoustic pulse. After the acoustic pulse emitted by the reading array element T is reflected by the actual interface E, the array element R receives the reflected signal travel time of the reflected signal

Wherein, the coordinate (x)s,zs) Is an offset ellipse, the coordinate (a) of the array element Ti0) and coordinates (a) of array element Rj0) is its setpoint, dijThe length is determined.
At a predetermined pth first tentative sound speed c1pWhen n array elements perform multiple transmission, n × n reflection signal travel times can be obtained according to n forward sound beams and n reflection signals corresponding to each forward sound beam. And then obtaining n x n offset ellipses according to the formula (1). n x n offset ellipses are interwoven with each other, and based on the theory that "different transmit-receive pairs of corresponding offset ellipses will gather to form some dense points" proposed in vol.65, p 1592 of Geophysics published in the journal of 2000, the most dense tangent points in n x n offset ellipses will form a leading edge. The tangent points forming the leading edge are fitted with a polynomial function (n x n tangent points are fitted with a polynomial expansion, the expansion coefficient is determined by least squares fitting) to form a curve which approaches the position and shape of the actual interface, i.e. the tentative interface.
Step S300: presetting second probing sound velocities of q second medium layers; determining possible points of n x (n-1) targets corresponding to n array elements under the p first tentative sound velocity and the q second tentative sound velocity according to the n forward sound beams and n reverse sound beams (n x n total reverse sound beams) corresponding to each forward sound beam; the dispersion of n x (n-1) possible points is calculated.
Specifically, the coordinates are (a)i0) as a transmitting array element T with the coordinate of (a)jAnd j th array element of 0) is used as a receiving array element R.

It should be noted that, for a self-generating and self-receiving array element, the forward sound beam and the reverse sound beam of the array element correspond to the same refraction point on the tentative interface. Therefore, the array elements of self-sending and self-receiving can not obtain the possible point (x) of the corresponding target through calculationpm,zpm). So that only n x (n-1) possible points (x) of the target are obtained when n array elements transmit and receive morepm,zpm)。

Specifically, for an arbitrary point X with coordinates (X, z) in the second medium layer, the convolution M of the forward sound beam and the backward sound beam0(t, X) is:

To reduce the computation time, the time-space domain is converted to the frequency-space domain, since the convolution of two functions in the time domain is equal to the product of the two function spectra in the frequency domain. Then when the time variable is the first trip

Figure BDA0002880435650000093
Second travel to target O at reverse speed of sound, tj(x) Travel time of the reverse sound velocity to any point X. The first term of equation (6) is the convolution of the forward beam with the target scattered portion of the backward beam. When the coordinates of the arbitrary point X and the target O are the same, the sound field value reaches a maximum value. Therefore, a peak-like sound field distribution is formed, and the position of the peak top is the position of the coordinate point of the target O. The second term of the formula (6) is the convolution of the forward sound beam and the reverse sound beam interface reflection part, the sound field distribution is the sound field distribution with smaller amplitude and non-uniformity, and the peak distribution of the target is not influenced, so that the method is utilized to invert the sound velocity of the upper medium and the lower medium of the layered medium and the position of the interface without prior knowledge, and the target in the layered medium can be accurately detected and positioned according to the parameters in the layered medium obtained by inversion.

The actual interface of the liquid-solid layered medium is a concave arc, the center coordinates of the arc are (23.4mm, -15.4mm), and the curvature radius is 70.1 mm. Cylindrical holes with the radius of 1.5mm are arranged in the second medium layer to serve as target O in the liquid-solid layered medium, and the coordinate of a target O point is (18.0nn, 70.0 mm).
