The invention discloses an
underwater sound source target detection, identification and positioning method and device based on a
millimeter wave radar, and belongs to the technical field of
underwater target detection, identification and positioning. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a water surface
echo signal by using a
millimeter wave radar, and performing
Fourier transform to obtain a distance-
time spectrum; extracting a
slow time phase sequence of each
range gate in a
radar beam coverage range, and obtaining a sound-induced water surface vibration
signal after unwinding and filtering; performing correlation calculation on the vibration
signal and a preset target feature
library, or realizing target recognition through a
deep learning model; a multi-
radar cooperation or single-
radar digital beam forming technology is adopted for target positioning, and large-range
water area searching is achieved. According to the invention, the
millimeter-
wave radar is used for detecting micron-sized water surface vibration with high phase sensitivity, the defects of
short distance, complex arrangement and the like of traditional acoustic and optical detection are overcome, and the
system has large-range, real-time and non-contact
underwater target detection and positioning capability.
