A Method for Passive Ranging Using Statistically Invariant Characteristics of Underwater Acoustic Channel

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of underwater acoustic detection, and particularly discloses a method for using underwater acoustic channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive ranging. The method for using the underwater acoustic channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive ranging comprises the steps that passive detection is carried out on a target on the basis of double array elements, each array element carries out LOFAR analysis on a received target broadband noise signal, stripes of an LOFAR graph of the received target broadband noise signal are extracted through the edge extraction technologies such as HOUGH transformation to obtain a waveguide invariant and an estimated value of a parabola parameter, and distance information and target speed information of a CPA point of the target can be obtained. According to the method for using the underwater acoustic channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive ranging, passive detection is carried out on the basis of the waveguide invariant, and the method for using the underwater acoustic channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive ranging has good adaptive capacity to uncertain factors of the marine environment; due to the fact that a double-array-element model is adopted, a device is simple and convenient to use, the calculated amount is small, target movement parameter information can be calculated by using data of only two array elements, and passive detection of the target is achieved.
