Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine acoustic measurement, specifically a sparse marine sound velocity field tensor reconstruction method that integrates physical information. Background Technology
[0002] Ocean sound speed, as a fundamental physical parameter for sound wave propagation, has its spatial distribution—the sound speed field—that forms the basis for underwater integrated positioning, navigation, and timing. Ocean sound speed is closely related to seawater temperature, salinity, and pressure, and is often indirectly calculated using empirical formulas. Existing sound speed reconstruction methods can be mainly divided into three categories: direct measurement, indirect inversion, and model prediction. Direct measurement based on sound velocity profilers can obtain absolute sound speeds across the entire ocean depth, but it is inefficient and cannot cover unmeasured areas in the open ocean. Indirect inversion based on acoustic signal characteristics can provide sound field information for unmeasured areas, but it is difficult to reflect instantaneous sound speed changes and has significant errors in some areas. Model prediction based on artificial intelligence has high reconstruction accuracy, but it relies on high-quality training data and struggles to handle shallow wave conditions. Considering the significant spatiotemporal variation characteristics of the ocean sound speed field—multi-scale in the time dimension and three-dimensional heterogeneity in the spatial dimension—only partial ocean sound speed fields can be obtained, resulting in problems such as difficulty in reflecting instantaneous sound speeds, inability to cover unmeasured areas, and a lack of physical interpretability.
[0003] Relying on directly measured sound velocity is insufficient to provide information on the sound field in unmeasured deep-sea areas, while relying on indirect sound velocity reconstruction faces the problem of missing measured data. To improve the information acquisition and processing capabilities in ocean three-dimensional observation, and considering both the cost of sound velocity measurement and reconstruction accuracy, combining physical empirical models with indirect reconstruction methods is significant for reconstructing ocean sound velocity fields under sparse sampling.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application proposes a sparse ocean sound speed field tensor reconstruction method fusing physical information. Considering the problems of complex observation density, detection depth and sampling cost of the ocean, the sound speed reconstruction based on sparse data is difficult to depict the spatio-temporal dynamic change and lacks physical interpretability. The method fully utilizes the high efficiency of data-driven and the interpretability of physical models, and establishes a reconstruction model based on frame transformation tensor driven by fusing the ocean sound speed physical information. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:
[0047] Step 1: Establishing sparse ocean sound speed tensor data at different depths and different sampling points, constructing a temperature-depth weight matrix based on sound speed physical information, and constraining the error caused by pure tensor reconstruction through a spatially variable projection operator. Specifically, the method includes the following sub-steps:

[0111] Figure 2 and Figure 3This demonstrates the reconstruction errors of the sound velocity field sampling rate and depth under different conditions according to embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 The paper demonstrates the reconstruction errors of the sound velocity field at a depth of 90m with 10%, 30%, and 50% sampling. Verification shows that the method proposed in this embodiment of the invention has a good effect on the reconstruction of the sampled sound velocity field. The reconstruction errors at 10%, 30%, and 50% sampling are 0.154 m / s, 0.079 m / s, and 0.037 m / s, respectively. This is attributed to the utilization of the multi-scale nature of the three-dimensional tensor by wavelet frame transform and the smoothing effect of isotropic total variation in the reconstruction process. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention is effective in reconstructing the sound velocity field.

Although the error distribution is relatively stable, some differences still exist.
