AI Technical Summary
In shallow water environments, traditional perturbation ray methods have difficulty extracting perturbation rays and calculating intersection points, and multiple rays intersecting in one area lead to fuzzy localization results.
By combining phase-sensitive kernel function with perturbation ray method, multiple sets of ray data of target scene are acquired, perturbation ray data are filtered out, and sensitive kernel function is calculated using amplitude-sensitive kernel function or phase-sensitive kernel function to construct sensitive kernel function spatial positioning brightness map, and the point with the highest brightness is used as the estimated result of target position.
It improves the positioning resolution and stability of the perturbation acoustic method, achieving more accurate and reliable underwater small target positioning while maintaining low hardware configuration costs and intuitive positioning results.
