Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of acoustic parameter processing, and particularly relates to an acoustic parameter adaptive inversion method based on seabed type acoustic classification. BACKGROUND

[0002] Seabed acoustic parameters generally refer to the sound velocity, density, absorption coefficient and layer thickness of the seabed. Since the seabed is one of the important boundaries of the ocean acoustic waveguide, accurate seabed acoustic parameters are necessary boundary conditions for accurately solving the wave equation. Therefore, obtaining seabed acoustic parameters is a prerequisite for ensuring the high performance of a sonar system, and the acquisition of seabed acoustic parameters is a hot issue in the application research of underwater sonar.

[0003] There are three main methods for obtaining seabed parameters at present: a) through seabed sampling, measurement and acquisition in the laboratory; b) through in-situ measurement; and c) using received underwater acoustic signals, adopting a signal processing method, and inversely deducing seabed acoustic parameters by combining a physical model, i.e. an acoustic inversion method. The seabed parameters obtained by sampling and in-situ measurement are relatively accurate, but the cost is high and the efficiency is low, especially for deep sea environments. At the same time, the obtained seabed parameters are discrete sampling values, and it is difficult to accurately represent large-scale seabed parameters through a small amount of sampling data. More importantly, when the wavelength of the sound wave is much larger than the sampling scale, physical sampling may not be feasible for the characterization of low-frequency (1 kHz) seabed parameter characteristics. At low frequencies, acoustic inversion is the most effective means of obtaining seabed geophysical characteristics. The underwater acoustic signal is delayed, attenuated and distorted due to the seabed boundary, and also carries a large amount of information about the seabed. The equivalent seabed parameters obtained by the acoustic inversion method can reflect the average seabed acoustic characteristics on a large scale, and it is a convenient, economical and efficient approach.

[0004] The acoustic inversion method takes matching field inversion as the main framework, mainly uses the mapping relationship between the acoustic characteristic physical quantity and the seabed acoustic parameter to establish a cost function, and obtains the optimal solution of the cost function in the parameter range through a traversal method or a multi-dimensional optimization algorithm on the assumed seabed model and parameter boundary. The optimal solution is the equivalent seabed acoustic parameter to be inverted.

[0005] In the acoustic inversion method, the most typical acoustic characteristic physical quantity is sound pressure. However, since the sound pressure is a global acoustic characteristic physical quantity, a nonlinear mapping relationship is established between the wave equation and the seabed acoustic parameter, which also leads to the fact that the process of inverting the seabed acoustic parameter through the sound pressure is easily affected by the mismatch of the marine environmental parameters and the transmission parameters, and the inversion result has a multiple solution problem. It is necessary to analyze the uniqueness and uncertainty of the inversion result through posterior probability density analysis of multiple and parallel optimization results.

[0006] In the acoustic inversion method, the acoustic feature physical quantity most directly related to the seabed acoustic parameters is the seabed reflection loss, which has the characteristics of two dimensions of angle-frequency. In a typical seabed acoustic type, the seabed reflection loss is established by an analytical theory expression and the seabed acoustic parameters to establish a simple and unique mapping relationship, so that the inversion process is more efficient, and the multiple solution problem of the inversion result is effectively solved.

[0007] The main problem faced by the current method is that:

[0008] 1. The current acoustic inversion method is mainly based on the assumed seabed model. Before starting the inversion calculation, the existing inversion method must pre-select a physical model describing the seabed structure and the parameterization mode corresponding to the model. Since the real seabed stratification and acoustic parameter distribution are extremely complex, there is generally not enough prior information to establish an accurate seabed model. It will cost a huge economic cost to obtain the seabed prior information through means such as direct sampling measurement.

[0009] 2. The existing inversion method (such as matched field inversion) attempts to use a single, fixed model and inversion strategy to process all possible seabed types. This method ignores the essential differences in the reflection characteristics of sound waves and key inversion parameters of different seabed acoustic structures.

[0010] 3. The influence of the seabed acoustic parameters on the reflection coefficient is coupled and nonlinear. Changing different parameter combinations can produce very similar reflection loss curves (especially within a limited grazing angle or frequency range), resulting in serious non-uniqueness of the inversion problem.

[0011] These problems will lead to the following problems: the mismatch of the seabed model becomes the root cause of the systematic error of the inversion, the inversion method is inefficient and cannot adapt to the diversity of the seabed, the inversion result is non-unique, the uncertainty is high, and the physical meaning is unclear.

[0069] The typical seabed type acoustic classification can be divided into the following three types according to the layered condition: single-layered seabed (including three parameters, seabed sound velocity c b , seabed density p b , and seabed absorption coefficient a b ); double-layered homogeneous seabed (including seven parameters, sediment layer sound velocity c s , sediment layer density p s , sediment layer absorption coefficient a s , sediment layer thickness h s , base sound velocity c b , base density p b , and base absorption coefficient a b ); and double-layered non-homogeneous seabed (in addition to the seven parameters of the double-layered homogeneous seabed, the sediment layer sound velocity gradient g c ). According to the sound velocity ratio of the seabed and seawater, the seabed can be divided into high-speed seabed and low-speed seabed, so the typical seabed type acoustic classification has six types.

[0142] The sediment layer absorption coefficient α s is approximately constant with depth, and the tenth generation cost function is constructed to invert the sediment layer absorption coefficient α s and the basement absorption coefficient α b . When the sediment layer absorption coefficient α s and the basement absorption coefficient α b are optimal values, the tenth generation cost function takes the minimum value.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, in S5, the expression for high-speed two-layer homogeneous seabed inversion is:

[0144] ;

[0145] ;

[0146] wherein E 11 (c s ,h s ) is the eleventh cost function, E 12 (α s ,c b ,α b ) is the twelfth cost function, α b is the sediment absorption coefficient, c s is the sediment sound speed, is the interference fringe coordinate of the high sound speed double-layer homogeneous seabed reflection loss data, is the theoretical seabed reflection loss interference fringe of the high sound speed double-layer homogeneous seabed, is the grazing angle, f is the frequency, h s is the sediment thickness, N is the number of grazing angles, M is the number of frequencies, is the seabed reflection loss data, is the theoretical seabed reflection loss of the high sound speed double-layer homogeneous seabed, is the grazing angle of the seabed reflection loss data, f k is the sound wave frequency of the seabed reflection loss data, α s is the sediment absorption coefficient, c b is the base sound speed.

[0147] High sound speed double-layer homogeneous seabed inversion: the sediment sound speed and thickness are obtained by matching the interference fringe coordinate two-dimensional inversion, and the eleventh cost function is obtained. When c s and h s are the optimal values, the eleventh cost function takes the minimum value.

[0148] The twelfth cost function is constructed based on the matching of the seabed reflection loss mode, and the sediment absorption coefficient α s , the base sound speed c b and the absorption coefficient α b are inverted, and the sediment density and the base density are inverted by the Hamilton empirical formula. The sediment absorption coefficient α s and the base sound speed c b , the absorption coefficient α b are the optimal values, and the twelfth cost function takes the minimum value. Since the twelfth cost function has three parameters to be solved, it is necessary to perform optimization calculation by using genetic algorithm and other optimization algorithms, and the corresponding optimization algorithm is relatively mature, and can be realized by using the optimization toolbox of MATLAB.

[0149] In view of the fact that the prior art fails to fully utilize the seabed prior information and the correlation of the inversion method, the method disclosed by the present application is implemented as follows:

[0150] Data is from the SWAMI experiment located in muddy terrain in New England. Grazing angle. The data covers a range of 0°–85° and a frequency range of 0–4 kHz, representing seabed reflection loss data at a thickness of approximately 2 meters. Based on SWAMI hydrographic measurements, the sound velocity at the seabed is taken as 1470 m / s, and the density as 1.0 g / cm³. 3 .

[0151] like Figure 2 As shown, the angle-frequency domain seabed reflection loss is approximately 2m in the SWAMI experiment ("×" represents the transmission frequency, the dotted line represents the coordinates of the extracted interference fringes, and the dashed line represents the theoretical interference fringes calculated from the inversion results).

[0152] Step 1: Seabed reflection loss data at grazing angle Interference fringes exist within a range of 50° to 90°, such as Figure 2 The black dotted line indicates a double-layered seabed; proceed to step 3.1.

[0153] Step 3.1: The seabed reflection loss data has a subcritical angle and is at the grazing angle. No frequency-dependent operation within the 0°-10° range A periodic abnormal increase occurred; the subcritical angle was recorded. If the location is correct, proceed to step 3.2;

[0154] Step 3.2: Seabed reflection loss data in the grazing angle range of 0° to subcritical angle Within, there exists a total transmission angle. Furthermore, as the frequency f changes, the seabed type is a low-sound, double-layered, non-uniform seabed. The total transmission angle at the highest frequency was recorded through image pixel and coordinate transformation. The frequency ω corresponding to the maximum reflection loss at the full transmission angle t ≈1871Hz (transmission frequency), proceed to step 4.4;

[0155] Step 4.4: The parameter inversion range for the low-sound-velocity double-layer non-uniform seabed is given in Table 1.

[0156] Table 1

[0157]

[0158] Combined with the full transmission angle In the density parameter space, obtain the optimal value of the cost function for each density, along with the corresponding sound velocity and absorption coefficient, to form a parameter cluster. The result is as follows Figures 3-5 As shown, the red "+" marks the results of the second inversion step.

[0159] Assuming the sound speed profile is linear (n=+1), the parameter set obtained through inversion is used. and transmission frequency ω t_exp The inversion results of sound speed gradient and density normalization are shown in Figure 6 , and the corresponding sound speed and absorption coefficient results are marked with red + signs in Figures 3-5 .

[0160] The results are shown in Figures 3-6 , and the inversion results obtained in Figure 6 Although not concentrated, the numerical difference between the optimal value and the suboptimal value is obvious, and the optimal inversion result can be clearly distinguished. On the other hand, it can be observed from Figures 3-5 that the sediment layer sound speed, density and absorption coefficient obtained in the second step do not make the cost function value of maximum, because the inversion result at this time is globally optimal, not a single cost function optimal.

[0161] The sediment layer thickness is obtained using the inversion results, and the inversion results are given in Figure 7 . Considering the assumption of the sound speed profile shape, the inversion results for different n are given in Table 2, and the thickness inversion results for different n are given in Figure 7 . It can be known from Figure 7 that the result for the power term n = +1 is the best.

[0162] Table 2

[0163]

[0164] When the power term n = +1, the basement sound speed c b is (m / s), the basement density ρ b is 1.3434 g / cm 3 , which is inversed by Hamilton empirical formula.

[0165] Substitute the above inversion results into the BOUNCE model to calculate the theoretical sea bottom reflection loss in the parameter range of the basement absorption coefficient, and the basement absorption coefficient is inversed, and the results are shown in Figure 8 .

[0166] The inversion results of the acoustic parameters of the low sound speed double-layer non-uniform sea bottom are: the sediment layer sound speed c s is 1446.48 m / s, the sediment layer density ρ s is 1.645 g / cm 3 , the sediment layer absorption coefficient α s is 0.0111 (dB / m / kHz), the sediment layer thickness h s is 2.36 m, the sediment layer sound speed gradient g c 1.6 / s, the basement sound speed c bis 1450.25 m / s, base density p b is 1.3434 g / cm 3 , base absorption coefficient a b is 0.18 dB / λ (0.1241 dB / m / kHz).

Various other modifications and alterations of the present application will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing disclosure without departing from the scope of the present application.
