Time delay estimation between two acoustic sensors is widely used in room acoustics and sonar for target position estimation, tracking and synchronization. A cross-correlation based method is representative for the time delay estimation. However, this method does not have enough consideration for the noise added to the receiving acoustic sensors. This paper proposes a new time delay estimation method considering the added noise on the receiver acoustic sensors. From comparing with the existing GCC (Generalized Cross Correlation) method, and adaptive eigen decomposition method, we show that the proposed method outperforms other methods for a colored signal source in the white Gaussian noise condition.

In this paper we present an algorithm to discriminate an underwater target under track against an acoustic counter-measure(ACM) source, based on a sequential hypothesis test. The ACM source is separated from the target under track and generates, while drifting, measurements with false range and Doppler information. The purpose of the ACM is to mislead the target-tracking and to help the true target evade a pursuer. The algorithm uses as a test statistic a function of the innovation sequences from extended Kalman filters to estimate the target dynamics and the drifting position of the ACM source. Numerical experiments on various scenarios show that the proposed algorithm discriminates the target against an ACM source very fast with a high probability of success.

The drones have been developed for military purposes and are now used in many fields such as logistics, communications, agriculture, disaster, defense and media. As the range of use of drones increases, cases of abuse of drones are increasing. It is necessary to develop anti-drone technology to detect the position of unwanted drones using the physical phenomena that occur when the drones fly. In this paper, we estimate the DOA(direction of arrival) of the drone by using the acoustic signal generated when the drone is flying. In addition, the dynamics model of the drones was applied to the unscented kalman filter to improve the microphone array detection performance and reduce the error of the position estimation. Through simulation, the drone detection performance was predicted and verified through experiments.
