Description

Bistatic submarine topography acoustic imaging method based on pixel statistical distribution weighting
Technical Field

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America,1999,106 (5): 2491-2512.), (Swee Chia C, makris N C, fialkowski L T.A comparison of bistatic scattering from two geologically distinct abyssal hills [ J ]. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America,2000,108 (5): 2053-2070.) proposes the use of a dual-base seafloor topography imaging system, using two vessels carrying vertical and horizontal towing arrays, respectively, the transmitting vessel being fixed to the test area, receiving the vessels traveling at different survey lines and receiving seafloor forward scatter signals, obtaining seafloor topography intensity distribution images. However, in the conventional bistatic acoustic imaging, due to the fact that left-right blurring is caused by the one-dimensional space characteristics of the receiving linear array, false features axisymmetric to the receiving array appear in the submarine topography imaging diagram, submarine real scattering features are not easy to distinguish under the condition that the prior inspection environment information is less, and the identification of submarine targets or topographic features in the acoustic image is affected.
The main methods for solving the left-right blurring phenomenon at present are as follows: 1) The receiving end adopts a double-level linear array and a multi-level linear array, and the time delay difference of signals reaching each receiving array is utilized to distinguish, so that the method has higher requirements on the performance of equipment and is more complex to realize in engineering technology; 2) Judging according to the incidence angle change trend of the submarine forward scattering signal by utilizing the maneuvering of the receiving ship, wherein the method needs to wait for the completion of the maneuvering of the receiving ship, and judges after the receiving towed line array is straightened, and has limitations and hysteresis; 3) And performing matrix estimation on the receiving towed line array, and then performing back-end processing.

Wherein (x, y) is the pixel coordinates of the acoustic imaging map, B i (x, y) represents a new image obtained by the dot product operation of the ith frame, A i (x, y) represents the original sound image of the ith frame, I i (x, y) represents a hot spot statistical image corresponding to the ith frame of sound image;
step 4: image stitching is carried out on the acoustic images of all the measuring points by adopting a weighting method, and finally, submarine topography acoustic images of the observation area are generated;
the process of splicing the acoustic images of all the measuring points is as follows, and the total image after the acoustic images of the previous (i-1) frame are spliced is set as F i-1 (x, y), the new image obtained by the point multiplication operation of the ith frame is B i (x, y), then the total concatenation result F of i frames of acoustic images i (x, y) is expressed as
F i (x,y)=w 1 (x,y)F i-1 (x,y)+w 2 (x,y)B i (x,y) (8)
Wherein w is 1 (x,y)、w 2 (x, y) is image F i-1 (x,y)、B i Weighting coefficients of (x, y) pixel points, the weighting coefficients being calculated by equation (9)
