The invention belongs to the field of
underwater acoustic detection, and particularly discloses a method for using
underwater acoustic
channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive
ranging. The method for using the
underwater acoustic
channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive
ranging comprises the steps that
passive detection is carried out on a target on the basis of
double array elements, each
array element carries out LOFAR analysis on a received target
broadband noise signal, stripes of an LOFAR graph of the received target
broadband noise signal are extracted through the
edge extraction technologies such as HOUGH transformation to obtain a
waveguide invariant and an estimated value of a parabola parameter, and distance information and target speed information of a CPA point of the target can be obtained. According to the method for using the underwater acoustic
channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive
ranging,
passive detection is carried out on the basis of the
waveguide invariant, and the method for using the underwater acoustic channel statistics invariant features to achieve passive ranging has good
adaptive capacity to uncertain factors of the marine environment; due to the fact that a double-array-
element model is adopted, a device is simple and convenient to use, the calculated amount is small, target movement parameter information can be calculated by using data of only two array elements, and
passive detection of the target is achieved.
