The present application belongs to the field of
underwater target recognition, and proposes a robust discrimination method for the depth attribute of line spectrum target of
vertical array. The method increases sampling points in the
depth direction of shallow water
waveguide, filters the internal coupled mode of the received
sound pressure amplitude of
vertical array by using the mode orthogonality formed by
vertical array sampling, and extracts the robust line spectrum
sound pressure amplitude fluctuation feature in the horizontal distance dimension of sound source. The
sound pressure amplitude of vertical array is obtained by fusing the
array element data. The mode orthogonality makes the sound
pressure amplitude of vertical array eliminate the influence of the coherent term of
normal mode related to the distance of sound source and the receiving depth on the line spectrum amplitude fluctuation feature. The present application uses a small amount of sound
pressure amplitude data of vertical array to construct the discrimination feature quantity sound
pressure amplitude fluctuation index, realizes efficient discrimination, and has small calculation amount. At the same time, the discrimination performance of the depth attribute of sound source does not decrease with the change of the relative horizontal distance of sound source, and has robustness.
