67 results about "Solid angle" patented technology

In geometry, a solid angle (symbol: Ω) is a measure of the amount of the field of view from some particular point that a given object covers. That is, it is a measure of how large the object appears to an observer looking from that point. The point from which the object is viewed is called the apex of the solid angle, and the object is said to subtend its solid angle from that point. In the International System of Units (SI), a solid angle is expressed in a dimensionless unit called a steradian (symbol: sr).

A deep sea horizontal array sound source passive positioning method and system based on high-precision azimuth angle estimation

PendingCN122283597AElevation angleSound sources
This application relates to the fields of underwater acoustic engineering, marine engineering, and sonar technology, and particularly to a passive localization method and system for deep-sea horizontal array sound sources based on high-precision azimuth estimation. The method samples the sound source signal using a horizontal array and estimates the earliest arrival time. After Fourier transform and phase compensation, a fringe slope cost function is constructed and a reference value is obtained through blind search. This reference value is then combined with frequency-shifted data beamforming to obtain a high-precision azimuth angle, while conventional beamforming obtains the solid angle, decoupling to obtain the elevation angle. The theoretical time delay for different assumed depths is then calculated, and the measured time delay spectrum is obtained from the broadband beam output. After matching the two, the actual depth of the sound source is determined by the minimum value of the cost function. This application reduces the computational load, decouples the azimuth and elevation angles of the horizontal array, solves the problems of horizontal arrays lacking elevation angle estimation capabilities and depth ambiguity in traditional methods, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of passive localization of deep-sea sound sources.
