Near-field wide-view-angle beam forming method of real-time three-dimensional imaging sonar

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional sonar, and discloses a near-field wide-view-angle beam forming method of real-time three-dimensional imaging sonar. The near-field wide-view-angle beam forming method comprises the following steps that an echo sampling data matrix S of a sonar system is obtained; a time delay weighting coefficient k1 of a focusing target point inside a Fresnel time delay area and a time delay weighting coefficient k2 of the focusing target point outside the Fresnel time delay area are calculated; echo sampling data are subjected to L-point discrete Fourier transformation, and thus an echo signal S(l) is obtained; the echo signal S(l) is subjected to amplitude weighting and phase compensation, and thus a compensated echo signal tilde{S(l)} isobtained; .and the compensated echo signal tilde{S(l)} is subjected to fast Fourier transformation, an expression of the spatial beam intensity is obtained, and the spatial beam intensity is calculated. As for the situations that the focusing target point is located outside the Fresnel time delay area and located in a set imaging view angle range, the time delay weighting coefficients are optimized through a least squares method, under the premise of ensuring near-field beam forming calculation efficiency, near-field focusing accuracy can be effectively improved, and the view angle of near-field imaging is expanded.
