This paper presents observations of buried target detections made using a 20-kHz synthetic aperture sonar. At grazing angles below the critical angle, surprisingly high signal-to-noise detections were made of cylindrical targets buried at depths of 15 and 50 cm. During a separate set of measurements, buried spheres were clearly seen at steep grazing angles, but were generally not seen below the critical angle. Since scattering from wave-generated sand ripples may contribute to detections at grazing angles below critical angle, the information available on the ripple fields is discussed and used in acoustic backscatter simulations for the buried spheres. Lack of information on the ripple height precludes a definitive explanation for the absence of buried sphere detections at subcritical grazing angles. 相似文献

Development of a high target strength passive acoustic reflectorfor low-frequency sonar applications
The objective of this study was development of broadband, high target strength, passive acoustic reflectors. These reflectors would provide convenient, low-cost targets for low-frequency sonar trials and fleet exercises. The primary development goals included controlled, stable monostatic and bistatic reflectivity, and adjustable deployment depth down to 90 m (300 ft). The development process used both computer models and scaled physical models to find the most effective configuration capable of meeting the project goals. Review of acoustic scattering theory showed that acoustically soft reflectors (bubbly liquids or air-filled spheres and cylinders) provide higher target strength values than similarly sized hard reflectors (metal spheres or corner reflectors). Air-filled cylinders were found to provide the highest target strength values and widest useful bandwidth for a given reflector volume. This is a result of the tube resonance that occurs at ka=0.02 at the depth range of interest where k is the acoustic wavenumber and a is the tube radius. Air-filled cylinder target strength at resonance is about equal to its target strength at ka=1.0 with a deviation less than ±4 dB between these values. Guided by these study results, a prototype reflector was assembled using a 16-m length of air-filled gum rubber tubing, 5.7 cm in diameter (3.2-cm ID). A SCUBA regulator attached to a small air tank maintained tubing inflation. Test results at a depth of 90 m showed an effective target strength of 12 dB at 250 Hz with a deviation less than ±2 dB from 200 to 400 Hz. This is equivalent to the target strength of a 16-m-diameter perfectly reflecting sphere-an object with a volume about 52000 times that of the prototype cylinder reflector 相似文献

In underwater sensing applications, it is often difficult to train a classifier in advance for all targets that may be seen during testing, due to the large number of targets that may be encountered. We therefore partition the training data into target classes, with each class characteristic of multiple targets that share similar scattering physics. In some cases, one may have a priori insight into which targets should constitute a given class, while in other cases this segmentation must be done autonomously based on the scattering data. For the latter case, we constitute the classes using an information-theoretic mapping criterion. Having defined the target classes, the second phase of our identification procedure involves determining those features that enhance the similarity between the targets in a given class. This is achieved by using a genetic algorithm (GA)-based feature-selection algorithm with a Kullback-Leibler (KL) cost function. The classifier employed is appropriate for multiaspect scattering data and is based on a hidden Markov model (HMM). The performance of the class-based classification algorithm is examined using both measured and computed acoustic scattering data from submerged elastic targets. 相似文献

Models and laboratory experiments show that zooplankton may locate food more easily in turbulent waters, but whether plankton seek or avoid turbulence in the ocean is an open question. It is difficult to measure turbulence and plankton simultaneously and with the necessary spatial resolution using traditional methods (nets and airfoil shear sensors). Acoustics is commonly used to survey zooplankton abundance and recent studies have shown that stratified turbulence can also be a significant source of sound scatter. This may seem like more of a complication than a boon for those aiming to use acoustics to observe plankton in turbulence. We present acoustic data, however, that show that zooplankton and turbulence can be observed simultaneously with a single 307 kHz sounder. The different natures of the two targets (discrete targets versus a volume effect) allow them to be distinguished. The key is sampling the same targets at multiple ranges. The volume scattering strength of a discrete target will increase as the target nears the sounder, because the volume sampled decreases. Turbulence, as a volume scattering effect, has little range dependence to its volume scattering strength. 相似文献

随着对水下目标特性研究的深入和声学探测技术的发展,基于单模态的阵列式信息融合或基于空间信息的分布式信息融合的水下目标识别方法研究已有一定成果,但针对复杂海况导致单一物理场或单一融合层次的系统识别性能提高有限等方面影响的水下目标识别方法研究还有所不足,因此,开展基于多模态深度融合模型的水下目标识别方法研究可利用模态互补,共享信息而提升识别率。文中在国内外研究基础上,深入研究了基于到达时差法和多模态方法组合的检测方法,初步形成了基于水声环境空间中多模态深度融合模型的识别框架,开展了海洋中典型自然与人为事件的信号分析与特征提取,并在此基础上,设计新型基于海底基站的被动识别系统。该系统同步记录和由位置等组成的时间序列标记声、磁和压数据,可实现高精度、高分辨率的识别。本研究可满足未来海洋观测对高性能水下目标探测、定位和跟踪系统的迫切需要,为海洋安全监管、海洋突发事件应急响应等领域提供新的技术手段和科学参考。 相似文献

The construction of stationary expressions for quantities of physical interest such as radiated power and target strength is discussed broadly for acoustic problems involving radiation or scattering from finite objects of arbitrary shape. The Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral corollaries of the wave equation, which express acoustic pressure at either interior or exterior points in terms of pressure and its normal derivative over any closed surface, yield for both interior and exterior problems two mathematically dissimilar but related functional relations between surface field quantities. One of these is the better known surface Helmholtz integral equation; the other is a differential-integral relation which involves the tangential derivatives of pressure on the surface. The four linear operators involved in these functional relations are studied and it is found that two are self-adjoint, while the other two are an adjoint pair. A general technique for constructing variational expressions recently developed by Gerjuoy et al. [28] is adapted to acoustic radiation and scattering problems with the functional relations taken as the primary governing relations. Included examples are stationary expressions for the radiated power when either the normal velocity or the pressure are specified on the surface (the other quantity being unknown) and the target strength for scattering from a rigid object. The adjoint relations allow simple physical interpretations for the Lagrange multipliers that arise in the theory, such that the guesses for good trial functions can take advantage of existing physical insight. It is demonstrated with a specific example (transversely vibrating disk) that the resulting estimate for radiated power is substantially more accurate than that of the trial function for surface pressure which was inserted into the stationary expression. 相似文献

The purpose of the current study is to introduce a set of mobile underwater positioning systems (MUPS) that will enable non-offshore vessels to execute underwater missions. Besides mobility, the system would also possess the advantage of having to use fewer acoustic instruments than conventional acoustic positioning systems. The method adopted by the system will involve the use of expendable and multi-functional bathythermographs (XBT) to measure the underwater acoustic speed and the depth of water at the same time. Then it must utilize the geometric relations formed by measuring the position of underwater targets at set intervals during navigation. In addition, since sound does not travel in a straight line when underwater, the iteration and convergence method must be used to perform corrections on the transmission speed and positional errors to obtain an accurate coordinate of the underwater target. After simulation testing, the positioning system established by the current study has proven to be fast in converging the error values along with high positioning accuracy of the system. The results of the study indicate that the MUPS built by the research institute can be utilized on a vessel, and will be very helpful in assisting the management of urgent underwater positioning missions. 相似文献

声散射是重要的声学现象,海洋水体产生的高频声散射信号既可用于开展多种目的的声学海洋学研究,也可能对水下声学设备产生干扰,而海洋水体背景声散射具有显著的时空变异特征,因此针对特定海区开展声散射时变观测具有重要意义。本文利用在南海北部布放的锚系系统所搭载的声学多普勒流速剖面仪,获取了覆盖4个季节的累计约80 d的声散射数据,数据包括75 kHz和300 kHz两个频段,观测水深几乎覆盖了从海面到约600 m水深的整个水体。结果表明,水体在垂向上分布着上散射层和深散射层2个主要散射层。上散射层分布深度在冬夏较浅,位于约100 m以浅,在春秋较深,位于约200 m以浅;深散射层分布深度同样为冬季最浅,位于约300 m以深,但夏季则最深,位于约400 m以深。因此,两散射层的距离在夏季最远,在春秋最近。2个散射层的声散射强度（Sv）同样具有明显的季节变化,上散射层散射强度夏秋较强而春冬较弱,深散射层则正好相反。 相似文献

Isolation of resonance in acoustic backscatter from elastic targetsusing adaptive estimation schemes
It has been shown that at certain frequencies the acoustic backscatter from elastic targets exhibits certain resonance behavior which closely relates to the physical properties of the target such as dimension, thickness, and composition. The purpose of this paper is to develop an automated approach for identifying the presence of resonance in the acoustic backscatter from an unknown underwater target by isolating the resonance part from the specular contribution. An adaptive transversal filter structure is used to estimate the specular part of the backscatter and consequently the error signal would provide an estimate of the resonance part. An important aspect of this scheme lies in the fact that it does not require an underlying model for the elastic return. The adaptation rule is based upon fast recursive least squares (RLS) learning. The approach taken in this paper is general in the sense that it can be applied to targets of unknown geometry and thickness and, further, does not require any a priori information about the target and/or the environment. Test results on acoustic data are presented which indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach 相似文献

Experimental investigation of the combustive sound source 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
In this paper, we describe a unique low frequency underwater sound source called the combustive sound source (CSS). In this device, a combustible gas mixture is captured in a combustion chamber and ignited with a spark. The ensuing combustion produces expanding gases which in turn produce high intensity, low frequency acoustic pulses. With high-speed motion pictures of the CSS event, we relate the motion of the bubble to the acoustic waveform. We also compare the measured first bubble period in the CSS pressure signature with the predictions of the Rayleigh-Willis equation, including the dependence of the radiated acoustic waveform on the volume and depth of the bubble. Measurements of the first bubble period agree with Rayleigh-Willis theory in trend, but not in absolute value. In addition, we discuss the variation of the acoustic output with the fuel/oxygen mixture. Finally, several other factors that affect the acoustic output of CSS are discussed. These include the shape of the CSS combustion chamber, the type of oxidizer and fuel, and the ignition source 相似文献

在南黄海某一典型的砂质海底区域，采用全向性声源和全向性接收水听器开展了频率范围为6-24 kHz的海底反向声散射测量。测量结果表明，在避免海面散射干扰并满足远场条件的情况下，本次实验获得了掠射角范围为18~80°的海底反向声散射强度，其数值为-41.1~24.4 dB。在有效掠射角范围内，声散射强度总体上随掠射角的增大呈现出增大趋势，但对于不同的频率，其变化趋势有所不同，反映出不同的散射机理。在20°、40°和60°掠射角处，在6-24 kHz的频率范围内反向声散射强度总体上呈现出正相关的频率依赖性，其线性相关斜率分别为0.2229 dB/kHz、0.5130 dB/kHz、0.1746 dB/kHz。在最大掠射角80°处，反向声散射强度未呈现出明显的频率相关性。 相似文献

In this paper, we experimentally perform the measurement of the backscattered light intensity from the underwater targets with different size. We develop a simple system, which can easily measure the intensity of the backscattered light, after the laser is scattered at the target underwater. We find that, the signal period is related to the particle size, and the stability of the intensity (standard deviation) varies linearly with changing the particle size. After the calibration, our system can be used to precisely determine the particle size of arbitrary targets. Our method could open a new opportunity for the future underwater detection using femtosecond pulse laser. 相似文献

The interaction of high-frequency sound with the seafloor is inherently a stochastic process. Inversion techniques must, therefore employ good stochastic models for bottom acoustic scattering. An assortment of physical models for bottom backscattering strength is tested by comparison with scattering strength data obtained at 40 kHz at three shallow water sites spanning a range of sediment types from fine silt to coarse sand. These acoustic data are accompanied by sediment physical property data obtained by core sample analysis and in situ probes. In addition, stereo photography was used to measure the power spectrum of bottom relief on centimeter scales. These physical data provided the inputs needed to test the backscatter models, which treat scattering from both the rough sediment-water interface and the sediment volume. For the three sites considered here, the perturbation model for scattering from a slightly rough fluid seafloor performs well. Volume scattering is predicted to be weak except at a site having a layer of methane bubbles 相似文献
