Abstract:

An acoustic field model in the form of probability density function is established to solve the problem of model mismatch in shallow water. The Bayesian localization model with the state vector of an acoustic source as a posteriori probability is designed to achieve the purpose of exchanging time for space by iteration and realize the localization of a moving target by a single hydrophone. The grid histogram filtering algorithm is proposed to convert analytical integral into numerical summation and improve efficiency of the algorithm. The SWellex-96 experimental results show that the relative error of depth localization can be controlled at 12.04% and the relative error of distance localization at 6.47% within a depth of 200m and a distance of 10km. The proosed method can be used to detect targets in shallow water with concealed low-energy consumption weapon platform.
