[0048] Embodiment eleven, the embodiment proposes an example for explaining the above embodiments one to eight, which is specifically: Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 The embodiment is described with reference to Fig. 1 The Bernoulli filter-based single target detection and DOA tracking method according to the embodiment specifically includes the following steps: Step one, constructing Bernoulli random finite set based on Bayes theorem and completing initialization, predicting target existence probability by Bernoulli Markov process, sampling to generate surviving particles and newborn particles, and merging to construct predicted particle set.

[0049] Since the target existence problem can be represented by a binary random variable, the particle set is selected to approximate the target state distribution, wherein the prior assumption of no target is adopted, and the azimuth (DOA) is uniformly distributed in the full space monitoring range, and the azimuth change rate is subject to zero mean Gaussian distribution to reflect the uncertainty of target motion.

[0050] Assume The posterior single target state at time t is expressed in the form of Bernoulli random finite set, and the corresponding posterior parameter set is known, wherein represents the posterior existence probability of the single target, represents the posterior state distribution of the single target. The predicted single target state can also be expressed in the form of Bernoulli random finite set,

[0051] In the formula, represents There is no target at time t, and only background noise in the observation; represents that the observation is the superposition of target signal and background noise; represents that the probability of the number of targets being greater than or equal to 2 is equal to 0. represents The hydrophone array time domain output at time t, is the predicted single target existence probability, is the predicted state distribution of the single target.

[0052] According to Bayes theorem, the particle set at the initial time t0 is constructed , wherein represents the first The single-objective state and corresponding weights of each particle. The prediction equation based on Bayes' theorem can be written as...

[0053] In the formula, Let represent the single-objective Bernoulli Markov density function. (2) Assuming that the probability of the target's survival is independent of the target's state at the previous moment, the single-target state transition equation can be substituted into the prediction equation to obtain the predicted single-target existence probability and the predicted single-target state distribution when the target is assumed to exist, which can be used as the prediction parameter set. .

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, For the target newborn probability, For the target survival probability, Let be the Markov density function for newly formed targets. The predicted probability of a single target's existence and its state distribution both contain two terms: a newly formed term and a survival term. The newly formed term consists of the newly formed density, the probability that no target existed in the previous time step, and the probability of a target being newly formed. The survival term consists of the probability that the target existed in the previous time step, the probability of the target surviving, and the standard Chapman-Kolmogorov prediction term.

[0057] (3) Sample surviving particles from the state transition model to generate There are 10 surviving particles, where the expression for the state transition model is... The target state and corresponding weight of the surviving particles at each time point are:

[0058] ,

[0059] In the formula Here is the state transition matrix. Let be the noise-driven matrix. Assume the DOA of the new target follows a function defined in the state space. Uniform distribution on, i.e. This indicates that the new target can appear at any location in the orientation space; the DOA rate of change parameter follows a real Gaussian distribution, i.e. At this point, sampling of surviving targets reflects the response of newly formed particles to the target's first appearance. The state and weight of the newly generated target at each time step can be represented as follows: ,

[0060] Merge the surviving target particle set with the new-born target particle set to obtain the single-target predicted state distribution particle set , where the total number of particles is At this time, the single-target predicted state distribution is

[0061] where is the Dirac function, which is used to discretize the particle approximation of the continuous distribution.

[0062] Step two, decompose the hydrophone array signal into signal subspace and noise subspace, calculate the generalized likelihood function with a penalty term based on the information theory criterion, and enhance the likelihood function focusing under low signal-to-noise ratio through exponential weighting technology.

[0063] The time-domain output of the hydrophone array can be separated into two independent subspace vectors, and the observation can be represented by Bernoulli random finite set variables .

[0064] wherein is the steering vector, is the narrowband sound source (target) far-field incident plane wave signal; is the additive noise received by the array. The sample covariance matrix is used as an estimate of the true covariance matrix.

[0065]

[0066] wherein is the number of snapshots. In order to marginalize the position parameters such as sound source signal power and noise power, the observation is separated into two complementary subspaces: the signal subspace determined by the steering vector, and the corresponding orthogonal space is the noise subspace. At this time, the time-domain output of the hydrophone array can be separated into two independent subspace vectors:

[0067] wherein represents the signal subspace observation, represents the noise subspace observation, represents the unit coordinate transformation matrix, wherein and represent the orthogonal vectors of the signal and noise subspace expansion, respectively.

[0068] (2) Calculate the steering vector according to the state of each particle, thereby constructing the orthogonal projection of the signal subspace and the orthogonal projection of the noise subspace , which are written as

[0069]

[0070] wherein, denotes the identity matrix of dimension .

[0071] (3) Since there is no prior information about the parameters such as the sound source signal and the noise power, the accuracy of the detection is low when the non-informative prior is selected, therefore, a penalty function is introduced by using the information theory criterion, and the logarithmic likelihood function with the penalty term is used as the generalized likelihood function of the observation, so as to compensate for the detection uncertainty caused by the arbitrary value of the unknown parameter when there is no prior information. For the single-target state at time , the generalized likelihood function based on the MDL criterion is

[0072] the generalized likelihood function based on the AIC criterion is

[0073] In the formula, is the number of hydrophone elements. (4) Since the main lobe of the logarithmic likelihood function is flat and divergent under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio and small number of snapshots, in order to enhance the high likelihood region, the logarithmic likelihood function needs to be exponentially weighted, and the exponential weighting factor is . Thus, the main lobe of the logarithmic likelihood function is more sharp, and the robustness is stronger under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio and small number of snapshots, and the corresponding exponentially weighted logarithmic likelihood function is

[0074] Step three, the target posterior existence probability and particle weight are updated by using the exponentially weighted generalized likelihood function, an equal-weight particle set is generated by resampling, and it is determined whether the target exists according to the existence probability and the DOA is estimated by the particle state estimation to realize tracking.

[0075] (1) The update equation based on the Bayes theorem is

[0076] In the formula, denotes the likelihood function, that is, the probability density of observing under the state , and

[0077] Since the single-target state ​The single-target posterior state particle set can be updated according to an updating equation in the form of a Bernoulli random finite set variable , wherein a probability of existence of a single-target posterior state is

[0078]

[0079] A weight updating expression of the target posterior state distribution is

[0080] The generalized likelihood function is an information criterion-based generalized likelihood function after exponential weighting.

[0081] (2) Resampling from the single-target posterior state particle set to obtain an equal-weight particle set , wherein a probability of existence of a target posterior state satisfies If the target exists, otherwise, the target does not exist, and a single-target azimuth estimation value is a particle state weighted average . .

[0082]

In the designed simulation scene, no target exists in a scene from a first time to a 15th time, a target appears at a 16th time and survives to a 40th time, the target disappears from the scene from a 41st time to a 50th time. An initial azimuth of the target is-30°, and an azimuth change rate of the target is 2° / s. Parameters of the TBD-Ber filter are set as follows: a particle number is , a new particle number is , a target survival probability is , and a target birth probability is . An exponential weighting factor is . A new target DOA obeys a uniform distribution , that is, the new target can appear at any position in an azimuth space. A DOA change rate parameter obeys a real Gaussian distribution , wherein a variance is .

[0084] The specific implementation process is as follows: ​​Initialize the Bernoulli RFS parameters, set the initial target existence probability as 0 (no target); According to the prediction equation, obtain the predicted single-target existence probability and the predicted single-target state distribution at each time. Sample and assign weights to the surviving particles, sample and assign weights to the azimuth and azimuth change rate of the new-born particles, and combine to obtain a set of single-target predicted state distribution particles; Calculate the sampling covariance matrix, calculate the generalized likelihood function according to the single-target state at the current time, and exponentially weight the corresponding likelihood function, update the target existence probability and the corresponding weight, and obtain a set of single-target posterior state distribution particles; Resample from the weighted particle set Equal weight particles, determine whether the target exists according to the target posterior existence probability, if the target posterior existence probability , it is determined that the target exists, and the target azimuth estimation result is output, otherwise it is determined that the target does not exist.

[0085] Finally, the target tracking result obtained by the method is shown in Fig. 2 , the TBD-Ber filter not only reduces the clutter, but also accurately detects the target and gives the target azimuth when the target exists. The algorithm detection performance comparison results are shown in Fig. 3 , it can be seen that the TBD-Ber filter significantly reduces the false alarm probability compared with the TAD-Ber filter, and the method can still maintain excellent detection performance under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio and small snapshot number.

It defines the single-target state as the dynamic description of the target state, whether it exists or not. It uses a Bernoulli Markov process to predict the probability of the target's existence and generates a predicted state distribution particle set consisting of newly generated particles and surviving particles through particle filtering. The two are then merged to construct the single-target predicted state distribution particle set. The edge-decomposition module is used to decompose the hydrophone array signal into a noise subspace and a signal subspace observation model. It uses information theory criteria to calculate the generalized likelihood function with a penalty term to compensate for the uncertainty of unknown parameters. An exponential weighting factor is introduced to focus on the high likelihood region to enhance the main lobe sharpness of the generalized likelihood function under extreme conditions. The single-target DOA joint detection and tracking module is used to update the target posterior existence probability and the weight of the single-target predicted state distribution particle set by updating the Bayesian update equation and using the exponentially weighted generalized likelihood function. It then resamples to generate an equally weighted single-target predicted state distribution particle set. The updated single-target predicted state distribution particle set is resampled to obtain several equally weighted particles. The single-target posterior existence probability is used to determine the existence of the target, and the DOA estimation result is calculated through the particle state, thus realizing single-target DOA joint detection and tracking.
