Three-dimensional sonar imaging method based on acoustic orbital angular momentum and Bessel compensation

This invention provides a three-dimensional sonar imaging method based on acoustic orbital angular momentum and Bessel compensation. The method performs initial elevation and azimuth beamforming on multimodal OAM echoes to obtain preliminary three-dimensional sonar imaging results. The elevation angle is extracted and a Bessel compensation factor is obtained to correct signal distortion and suppress sidelobes in the time domain. Secondary beamforming is then performed using modal-dimensional azimuth matching vectors to improve azimuth resolution. Finally, a high-resolution, high-contrast three-dimensional image is output. This invention accurately compensates for amplitude and phase distortion of multimodal OAM echo signals by using a compensation factor obtained based on the target elevation angle and the characteristics of the Bessel function. This significantly reduces signal errors caused by wavefront bending, modal coupling, and non-ideal scattering, restores the orthogonality between different OAM modes, and improves imaging fidelity. This invention effectively compensates for OAM mode propagation and scattering distortion and suppresses modal coupling, making it suitable for various high-precision three-dimensional sonar imaging scenarios.
