Description

Ultra-short baseline underwater sound distance measurement method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of underwater sound positioning and navigation, in particular to an ultra-short baseline underwater sound distance measuring method and system.
Background
In a scene with low accuracy requirement, the propagation speed of sound in water can be approximately 1500m/s, but the actual sound speed can change in real time along with the change of factors such as the temperature, the salinity and the pressure of the water body, and the error caused by the simple approximation is called sound speed error, and the sound speed error is not only a main factor affecting the position estimation accuracy of the transponder, but also a main error source causing an ultra-short BaseLine (USBL, ultraShort Baseline) to measure the skew and the azimuth angle.
In the current studies, there are mainly two methods for correcting the sound velocity error: RT (Ray tracking) method and EESP (Equivalent Sound Speed Profile, equivalent sound velocity profile) method.
The RT method divides the water body into a plurality of water layers with equal thickness, and the sound velocity only changes among the water layers, but does not change in the water layers, so that the propagation track of the sound ray in the water can be simulated according to a standard light equation, then the effect of approximate integration can be achieved by accumulating the track length of each layer, the total length of the sound propagation track is obtained, and the ratio of the total length to the sound propagation duration (which is measured by other modes) is the sound velocity to be obtained. The method has higher sound velocity precision, but the process is extremely complex, and the whole process is required to be repeated continuously to update the accurate sound velocity value in real time.
In the EESP algorithm, the gradient of sound velocity change between layers is assumed to be a constant value, so that sound velocity change does not need to be calculated layer by layer, and the solving process of an RT method is effectively simplified. However, under this assumption, the propagation track of sound is close to an arc with constant curvature, when the track is short, the calculation error of the algorithm is not obvious, but when the track is long, the surrounding environment changes in a complex and changeable way, the real shape of the sound ray also gradually deviates from the arc, so that the calculation error is increased, and therefore, ESSP is generally applied to USBL with a working distance of only tens of meters.
