Localization of Buried Objects Using Reflected Wide-Band Underwater Acoustic Signals
Get PDFThis chapter deals with the localization of wide-band underwater acoustic sources. A combination of high resolution methods with scattering acoustic model are proposed. The bearing and the range sources at each sensor are expressed as a function to those at the first sensor. We present the noneigendecomposition methods fixed-point algorithm, projection approximation subspace tracking (PAST) algorithm, PAST with deflation (PASTD) algorithm and orthogonal PAST (OPAST) algorithm to track the signal subspace to compute leading eigenvectors. The proposed algorithms are faster than singular value decomposition (SVD) for MUSIC. The spatial smoothing operator is used to decorrelate the received signals and to estimate the coherent signal subspace. The performance of the different methods are evaluated by both computer simulations and experimental and data recorded during underwater acoustic experiments
Focusing Operators and Tracking Moving Wideband Sources , Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2016, nr 4
Get PDFIn this paper, the localization of wideband source with an algorithm to track a moving source is investigated. To locate the wideband source, the estimation of two directions of arrival (DOA) of this source from two different arrays of sensors is used, and then, a recursive algorithm is applied to predict the moving source’s position. The DOA is estimated by coherent subspace methods, which use the focusing operators. Practical methods of the estimation of the coherent signal subspace are given and compared. Once the initial position is estimated, an algorithm of tracking the moving source is presented to predict its trajectory
Recent Advances in Signal Processing
Get PDFThe signal processing task is a very critical issue in the majority of new technological inventions and challenges in a variety of applications in both science and engineering fields. Classical signal processing techniques have largely worked with mathematical models that are linear, local, stationary, and Gaussian. They have always favored closed-form tractability over real-world accuracy. These constraints were imposed by the lack of powerful computing tools. During the last few decades, signal processing theories, developments, and applications have matured rapidly and now include tools from many areas of mathematics, computer science, physics, and engineering. This book is targeted primarily toward both students and researchers who want to be exposed to a wide variety of signal processing techniques and algorithms. It includes 27 chapters that can be categorized into five different areas depending on the application at hand. These five categories are ordered to address image processing, speech processing, communication systems, time-series analysis, and educational packages respectively. The book has the advantage of providing a collection of applications that are completely independent and self-contained; thus, the interested reader can choose any chapter and skip to another without losing continuity
