Book Moving Target Depth Estimation for Passive Sonar  Using Sequential Resampling Techniques

Download or read book Moving Target Depth Estimation for Passive Sonar Using Sequential Resampling Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the problem of passive localization of a moving target in a littoral environment, based on its depth and range-rate. We compare performance with the conventional matched field processor which localizes in depth and range. Range-rate localization is more robust with respect to uncertainties in the environment, and with respect to associated uncertainties in the horizontal wave numbers of the channel modes used for the matched field target response. In our approach the complex amplitudes of the modes are treated as nuisance parameters, which comprise a hidden, first-order Markov state process. In lieu of an analytic expression for the evolution of the likelihood function as new snapshots are integrate, we evaluate a method of particle filtering, or sequential resampling.

Book Direction of Arrival Estimation in Passive Sonar Systems

Download or read book Direction of Arrival Estimation in Passive Sonar Systems written by Ali Massoud and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: last decades witnessed several research activities in the area of acoustic undersea warfare targeting the development of advanced systems to accurately detect and localize underwater moving targets. One of the main categories of these systems is the passive sonar (sound navigation and ranging) that searches for the location of the ships and submarines by listening to the radiated noise produced by their propellers, machinery, and flow dynamics. The performance of the passive sonar (involving estimation of the target bearing) highly depends on the particular array signal processing algorithms used in practice. Presently, the main challenge is to accurately estimate the target bearing in low signal to noise ratio for the underwater environment. This book presents advanced high spatial resolution techniques for both uniform and nonuniform hydrophone arrays. These techniques are now utilized in real applications due to its outstanding performance.

Book Direction of Arrival Estimation in Passive Sonar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War I, the area of acoustic undersea warfare has witnessed several research activities targeting the development of advanced systems to accurately detect and localize underwater moving targets. One of the main categories of these systems is the passive sound navigation and ranging (SONAR) that searches for the location of the ships and submarines by listening to the radiated noise produced by their propellers, machinery, and flow dynamics. The performance of the passive sonar highly depends on the particular array signal processing algorithms used in practice. Presently, one of the main challenges is to accurately estimate the target direction of arrival (DOA) in severe underwater environments. This thesis is proposed to enhance the DOA estimation in two distinct applications. This first application is to improve the spatial resolution of the uniform linear towed arrays. This is done by applying new spatial extrapolation techniques called 2D- and 3D- fast orthogonal search (FOS) for both uniform linear and rectangular arrays, respectively. The presented methods show better performance than the conventional methods with respect to signal to noise ratio (SNR), number of snapshots and angular separation. Moreover it reduces the computational complexity required by the spatial extrapolation methods based on linear prediction approach. The other application concerns with developing a new DOA estimation that provides better spatial spectrum than the one provided by conventional beamforming (CBF) when a nonuniform linear array of directional frequency analysis and recording (DIFAR) sonobuoys is employed. The introduced technique or the so called fourth order cumulant beamforming (FOCBF) and shows an outstanding performance compared to CBF especially in low SNR. Furthermore, a warping FOC-BF (WFOC-BF) method obtained by augmenting a warping beamforming technique with FOC-BF is proposed to reduce the required computational complexity by FOC-BF while preserving the same performance.

Book Advanced Signal Processing Handbook

Download or read book Advanced Signal Processing Handbook written by Stergios Stergiopoulos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in digital signal processing algorithms and computer technology have combined to produce real-time systems with capabilities far beyond those of just few years ago. Nonlinear, adaptive methods for signal processing have emerged to provide better array gain performance, however, they lack the robustness of conventional algorithms. The challenge remains to develop a concept that exploits the advantages of both-a scheme that integrates these methods in practical, real-time systems. The Advanced Signal Processing Handbook helps you meet that challenge. Beyond offering an outstanding introduction to the principles and applications of advanced signal processing, it develops a generic processing structure that takes advantage of the similarities that exist among radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems and integrates conventional and nonlinear processing schemes.

Book An Assessment of Undersea Weapons Science and Technology

Download or read book An Assessment of Undersea Weapons Science and Technology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-07-09 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Navy strives to maintain, through its Office of Naval Research (ONR), a vigorous science and technology (S&T) program in those areas considered critically important to U.S. naval superiority in the maritime environment, including littoral waters and shore regions. In pursuing its S&T investments in such areas, ONR must ensure that (1) a robust U.S. research capability to work on long-term S&T problems in areas of interest to the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense is sustained, (2) an adequate supply of new scientists and engineers in these areas is maintained, and (3) S&T products and processes necessary to ensure future superiority in naval warfare are provided. One of the critical areas for the Department of the Navy is undersea weapons. An Assessment of Undersea Weapons Science and Technology assesses the health of the existing Navy program in undersea weapons, evaluates the Navy's research effort to develop the capabilities needed for future undersea weapons, identifies non-Navy-sponsored research and development efforts that might facilitate the development of such advanced weapons capabilities, and makes recommendations to focus the Navy's research program so that it can meet future needs.
