The invention provides an
underwater target acoustic CT three-dimensional imaging and coordinate positioning device and method, and the method comprises the steps: laying a plurality of active
sound sources and hydrophones in a target
water area to form an active sound source array and a
hydrophone array, and carrying out the acoustic CT three-dimensional imaging and coordinate positioning according to the
underwater target detection distance and imaging spatial resolution required by a task; the method comprises the following steps: selecting
sound sources of different sound source levels,
setting time synchronization of a plurality of
sound sources and a
hydrophone array, sequentially starting the sound sources according to a preset sequence, synchronously recording direct
sound wave and reflected / scattered
sound wave signals collected by each
hydrophone, and then obtaining a three-dimensional shape image and coordinate positioning information of a target in water by using an acoustic CT three-dimensional
reconstruction algorithm. Based on the scheme of the invention, the three-dimensional shape image and coordinate positioning information of the
underwater target can be directly obtained, rapid early warning, identification qualification and space coordinate positioning of the underwater target are realized, the detection and identification capability of the current underwater target is greatly improved, the
bottleneck in the prior art is broken through, and the method has a good application prospect.
