多波束反向散射强度数据应用广泛,但由于受到角度响应的影响,导致生成的多波束声呐图像质量偏低,且现有角度响应改正方法在复杂海底底质环境下适应性较差。为此本文对散射强度进行分析,给出了两种多波束反向散射强度数据归一化方法,分别为基于高斯拟合以及角度响应的散射强度改正方法,前者主要是基于散射强度的变化规律进行改正,而后者则是基于声波的散射机理进行改正。实验结果表明两种方法较传统改正方法精度均有约30%的提升,并且角度响应方法较高斯拟合方法改正精度更高,但计算效率有所下降。以上实验验证了两种方法的有效性,实现了散射强度数据的归一化,提升了多波束声呐图像的质量。 相似文献

多波束条带测深你是进行海底地形测绘的主要设备,该设备的信号处理部分所要完成的主要任务就是精确测量深点目标回波的DOA(Direction of Arrival)和TOA(Time of Arrival)。研究了基于FFT波束形成技术的BDI(Bearing Diviation Indicator)算法,算法可完成对海底回波信号的时间和方向的联合估计。通过计算机仿真工作和海试数据的处理,得出结论:FFT波束形成技术可以有效地提高波束形成的数目:BDI可以精确地海底回波信号进行回波时延估计和方向估计,尤其是BDI算法可以提高镜向海底区域的边缘波束的测量精度。 相似文献

多波束水体数据是多波束系统获取的最原始数据,记录了波束从发射到接收整个过程全部的反向散射强度信息,可以为目标识别、水下栖息环境探测等提供重要的数据支撑。目前,针对多波束水体强度时间序列所表现的波形信息的处理及研究仍处于起步阶段,另外水体波形数据易受噪声影响,且存在明显的入射角效应问题,对此,本文提出了一种基于分区异构的多波束水体波形拟合算法。首先,根据不同波束入射角范围的水体波形特性,将水体数据划分为3个区域;然后利用不同函数(中央波束区域—双指数函数、漫反射区域—广义高斯与线性函数叠加、边缘波束区域—高斯与多项式叠加)分别对不同分区的反向散射强度波形进行拟合。采用台湾海峡的多波束水体数据进行验证,结果表明:不同分区拟合相关系数及拟合优度均达到0.95以上,相比简单函数拟合,均方根误差由3.39 dB降到1.5 dB以下,达到了较好的拟合效果,可为多波束水体目标识别和海底分类提供参考。 相似文献

多波束声呐记录的海底后向散射片段(Snippet)数据处理成角度响应曲线和地理编码(Mosaic)图像可以
帮助识别海底底质类型和反映地貌形态,这一过程包括辐射校正、角度响应改正(AVG)和几何地理编码,但不同的多波束系统硬件在辐射校正和角度响应改正方法上存在差异且传统处理方法忽略了声呐系统本身的指向性模型随时间变化的事实。以声呐方程为基础,针对Kongsberg EM 多波束系统提出了一套完整的Snippet数据处理流程,并分析了各步骤中存在的可变性,给出了每一步的处理建议,最后将此方法应用于EM2040浅水多波束实测数据,并验证了该方法的有效性和实用性。 相似文献

A procedure is suggested in which a relative calibration for the intensity output of a multibeam echo sounder (MBES) can be performed. This procedure identifies a common survey line (i.e., a standard line), over which acoustic backscatter from the seafloor is collected with multiple MBES systems or by the same system multiple times. A location on the standard line which exhibits temporal stability in its seafloor backscatter response is used to bring the intensity output of the multiple MBES systems to a common reference. This relative calibration procedure has utility for MBES users wishing to generate an aggregate seafloor backscatter mosaic using multiple systems, revisiting an area to detect changes in substrate type, and comparing substrate types in the same general area but with different systems or different system settings. The calibration procedure is demonstrated using three different MBES systems over 3 different years in New Castle, NH, USA. 相似文献

User expectations for multibeam echo sounders backscatter strength data-looking back into the future

With the ability of multibeam echo sounders (MBES) to measure backscatter strength (BS) as a function of true angle of insonification across the seafloor, came a new recognition of the potential of backscatter measurements to remotely characterize the properties of the seafloor. Advances in transducer design, digital electronics, signal processing capabilities, navigation, and graphic display devices, have improved the resolution and particularly the dynamic range available to sonar and processing software manufacturers. Alongside these improvements the expectations of what the data can deliver has also grown. In this paper, we identify these user-expectations and explore how MBES backscatter is utilized by different communities involved in marine seabed research at present, and the aspirations that these communities have for the data in the future. The results presented here are based on a user survey conducted by the GeoHab (Marine Geological and Biological Habitat Mapping) association. This paper summarises the different processing procedures employed to extract useful information from MBES backscatter data and the various intentions for which the user community collect the data. We show how a range of backscatter output products are generated from the different processing procedures, and how these results are taken up by different scientific disciplines, and also identify common constraints in handling MBES BS data. Finally, we outline our expectations for the future of this unique and important data source for seafloor mapping and characterisation. 相似文献

在多波束回声声纳系统中,高分辨处理算法例如MUSIC、ESPRIT,被广泛应用于海底地形的测绘。在应用高分辨算法时,一条均匀线阵是必要条件。然而,由于系统覆盖范围/分辨率的需求以及安装空间的限制,在多波束系统中经常会采用特殊形状的接收阵列,这使得高分辨算法无法直接应用。同时回波信号的短时平稳特性使得难以估计出协方差矩阵,这也增加了高分辨算法在多波束系统中的应用难度。本文首先介绍一种基于多角度子阵波束形成的ESPRIT算法,该算法能降低高分辨算法对信噪比、样本点数和计算能力的要求。仿真表明此算法能提供更好的分辨力。接着提出一种将基于多角度子阵波束形成的ESPRIT算法与虚拟阵列变换相结合的高分辨底检测算法,并针对高分辨底检测算法在U型阵上的应用进行了探讨。计算机仿真和试验数据处理结果验证了文章所提高分辨底检测算法的有效性。 相似文献

Multibeam echosounders (MBES) have become a widely used acoustic remote sensing tool to map and study the seafloor, providing co-located bathymetry and seafloor backscatter. Although the uncertainty associated with MBES-derived bathymetric data has been studied extensively, the question of backscatter uncertainty has been addressed only minimally and hinders the quantitative use of MBES seafloor backscatter. This paper explores approaches to identifying uncertainty sources associated with MBES-derived backscatter measurements. The major sources of uncertainty are catalogued and the magnitudes of their relative contributions to the backscatter uncertainty budget are evaluated. These major uncertainty sources include seafloor insonified area (1–3 dB), absorption coefficient (up to >?6 dB), random fluctuations in echo level (5.5 dB for a Rayleigh distribution), and sonar calibration (device dependent). The magnitudes of these uncertainty sources vary based on how these effects are compensated for during data acquisition and processing. Various cases (no compensation, partial compensation and full compensation) for seafloor insonified area, transmission losses and random fluctuations were modeled to estimate their uncertainties in different scenarios. Uncertainty related to the seafloor insonified area can be reduced significantly by accounting for seafloor slope during backscatter processing while transmission losses can be constrained by collecting full water column absorption coefficient profiles (temperature and salinity profiles). To reduce random fluctuations to below 1 dB, at least 20 samples are recommended to be used while computing mean values. The estimation of uncertainty in backscatter measurements is constrained by the fact that not all instrumental components are characterized and documented sufficiently for commercially available MBES. Further involvement from manufacturers in providing this essential information is critically required. 相似文献
