Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of multi-beam sounding, in particular to a multi-beam resolution and resolving power detection method based on trapezoidal targets. BACKGROUND

[0002] Multi-beam sounding systems have the characteristics of coverage, high efficiency and high precision, and are widely used in many fields such as ocean surveying and mapping, underwater ground object detection, channel dredging engineering quality detection, and underwater revetment engineering quality detection. With the increasing development of science and technology, the key indicators such as the nominal precision and resolution of the transducers of the new generation of multi-beam sounding systems have reached the centimeter level. However, due to the lack of corresponding calibration systems, survey personnel can only recognize the performance indicators of the multi-beam system "calibrated" by the manufacturer, and lack further understanding and knowledge of the performance indicators of the multi-beam. Moreover, in the complex system of multi-sensor combination, various system deviations are inevitable. In addition, the influence of the operating environment, hardware inherent faults, improper instrument maintenance and other factors affect the multi-beam sounding results, so there are still some quality problems that are difficult to solve. Therefore, studying the calibration method of the resolution and resolving power of the multi-beam sounding system can clearly understand the existing performance indicators of the multi-beam system and the precision requirements that can be met, and at the same time, can guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the data results, improve the confidence of the operating personnel, and provide a scientific basis for the third party to carry out inspection and acceptance.

[0003] Multi-beam resolution and resolving power are important indicators for measuring the detection capability of multi-beam. The multi-beam resolution is the smallest target that can be detected by multi-beam, and the multi-beam resolving power is the smallest change value that can be distinguished by multi-beam sounding. The "Echo Sounder Measurement and Calibration Regulations" issued in 2015 requires that when the water depth is less than or equal to 5m, the maximum allowable error is ±5cm, and when the water depth is greater than 5m, the maximum allowable error is ±%d (d is the measured water depth). Traditional multi-beam calibration methods mainly include water tank type sounding calibration and simulated sounding calibration. Although both methods can meet the precision requirements of multi-beam, both methods have their limitations, but more importantly, both methods only calibrate the sounding precision of multi-beam instruments and do not involve the calibration of their resolution and resolving power.

[0004] Moreover, using the simulated sounding system for calibration, the transducer cannot participate in the calibration test, the performance cannot be accepted, and the blind area cannot be measured. The water tank type sounding calibration has high construction and maintenance costs, and is difficult to install and operate, and is affected by the water tank boundary. Although both methods have good precision, they only meet the precision requirements of multi-beam sounding and do not calibrate the performance indicators of multi-beam resolution and resolving power.
