Description

Narrow-band line spectrum target depth estimation method and system by using deep sea vertical array
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of underwater sound detection, sonar technology and the like, in particular to a narrow-band line spectrum target depth estimation method and system by using a deep sea vertical array.
Background
The distance and depth estimation of a deep sea (depth range is 1000-6000 m) target is a hot spot of underwater sound research in recent years, and the target depth estimation is one of the difficult problems. The existing target positioning method comprises a field matching method, a multi-path arrival time delay matching or interference fringe matching method and a multi-path arrival angle matching method. The matching field processing method is sensitive to parameters such as ocean environment parameters, array inclination and the like, and has large searching range, large calculation amount and long time consumption for deep sea environments.
In a deep sea environment, for a sound field received at a large depth, direct waves and sea surface reflected waves radiated by a target sound source in a middle and near range mainly contribute to the received sound field. Therefore, the relationship between the multi-path arrival characteristics (such as multi-path time delay, multi-path interference characteristics and multi-path arrival angles) of the two types of waves and the target distance and depth is utilized, and the method is a main way for realizing target positioning of the deep sea direct sound zone. As in document [1] (A performance study of acoustic interference structure applications on source depth estimation in deep water,2019, 2 nd edition of published in j.acoust.soc.am., "145 th edition, initial page number is 903), sound source depth estimation is achieved by obtaining interference characteristics of sound field intensity on a two-dimensional plane of arrival angle and frequency domain caused by interference of direct wave and sea surface reflected wave by means of a vertical linear array laid on the sea floor. Because the two-dimensional interference characteristics of the arrival angle and the frequency domain are matched, the method has certain requirements on the signal bandwidth.
Document [2] ("Passive broadband source depth estimation in the deep ocean using a single vector sensor", 7 months in 2020 published in "J.Acoust.Soc.Am." 148 th period, the initial page number is EL 88) proposes a sound source depth estimation method of a single vector hydrophone, which mainly utilizes the multi-path interference period of direct waves and sea surface reflected waves to estimate the target depth. However, the method is mainly aimed at broadband target signals, and for narrowband spectrum signals, due to low time resolution, accurate multi-path arrival time delay of direct waves and sea surface reflected waves cannot be obtained, so that the performance of the method is reduced.
A depth estimation method for matching multi-path arrival angles is disclosed in a document [3] ("Passive source localization based on multipath arrival angles with a vertical line array using sparse Bayesian learning", 3 nd month of 2023 is published in 153 th stage of J.Acoust.Soc.Am., the initial page number is 773), the method utilizes a sparse Bayesian method to distinguish direct waves and sea surface reflected waves and estimate arrival angles of the two paths, and the actually measured arrival angles are matched with arrival angle model calculation results under different assumed target distances and depths, so that simultaneous estimation of the target distances and depths is realized, and the method reduces the requirement of depth estimation on the bandwidth of a target sound source to a certain extent. However, for shallower sound source depth, shorter array aperture and lower sound source frequency, the high-resolution sparse Bayesian method can not effectively resolve direct waves and sea surface reflected waves, and further the sound source depth estimation performance of the method is reduced.
Document [4] ("Performance metrics for depth-based signal separation using deep vertical line arrays", release 1 in 2016 in J.Acoust.Soc.Am. "139 th, initial page 418) proposes a sound source depth estimation method suitable for narrowband spectrum signals by utilizing interference characteristics of direct wave and sea surface reflected wave in the arrival angle domain. The method ignores the change of the underwater sound velocity, and the depth estimation error is increased at a longer distance.
The Chinese invention application with publication number of CN113960530A discloses a sound source passive positioning method based on arrival angles of direct wave and sea surface reflected wave, wherein a sound field calculation program based on ray theory is used for calculating template values of the arrival angles of the direct wave and the sea surface reflected wave corresponding to the target sound source when the target sound source is positioned at different assumed distances and assumed depths; and matching the estimated values of the direct wave arrival angle of the target sound source and the sea surface reflected wave arrival angle with the corresponding template values through a cost function, and obtaining the distance and depth of the target sound source through the maximum value of the cost function, thereby realizing the positioning of the target sound source, wherein the method is the same as the basic principle of the method described in the document [3 ]. The method can realize sound source localization on the premise that direct waves and sea surface reflected waves can be resolved, the resolution of the array is required to be superior to the arrival angle difference value of the direct waves and the sea surface reflected waves, and the method is required to be large in array aperture, high in resolution space power spectrum estimation method, large in target depth and high in target frequency. For shallower source depths, shorter array apertures and lower source frequencies, the method cannot estimate the depth of the target if the direct wave and sea surface reflected wave cannot be resolved.
