Source localization is an important problem in the field of sonar and radar, etc. For the purpose of source localization, two or more spatially separated sensors are often used to measure the time difference of arrivals of a radiating source whose transmitted signal waveform is unknown. The NLS(Nonlinear Least Square) cost function with curve fitting method was proposed recently, which provide robust source localization performance by reducing estimation ambiguity. However, even this algorithm shows degraded performance in a multipath environment. To estimates source localization correctly, source localization algorithm that eliminate the effect of multipath signals is required. In this paper, PMP(Power Matching Procedure) is added to the algorithm, which provides improved source localization performance by properly cutting out the effect of multipath signals. Through simulation the performance of the proposed source localization algorithm is verified.

Underwater acoustics, which is the domain that addresses phenomena related to the generation, propagation, and reception of sound waves in water, has been applied mainly in the research on the use of sound navigation and ranging (SONAR) systems for underwater communication, target detection, investigation of marine resources and environment mapping, and measurement and analysis of sound sources in water. The main objective of remote sensing based on underwater acoustics is to indirectly acquire information on underwater targets of interest using acoustic data. Meanwhile, highly advanced data-driven machine-learning techniques are being used in various ways in the processes of acquiring information from acoustic data. The related theoretical background is introduced in the first part of this paper (Yang et al., 2020). This paper reviews machine-learning applications in passive SONAR signal-processing tasks including target detection/identification and localization.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about loom underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the way of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. A new hybrid method has been developed for estimating the origin of the underground acoustic source by coupling both methods. The Nelder-Meade simplex search algorithm is then used to numerically estimate the position of the source in those methods. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is in some cases less than 6m for a search area of radius 250m.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.

Interference can cause serious problems in our daily life. Traditional ways in localizing a target can't work well when it comes to the source of interference for it may take an uncooperative or even resistant attitude towards localization. To tackle this issue, we take the BPSN (Binary Proximity Sensor Networks) and consider a passive way in this paper. No cooperation is needed and it is based on simple sensor node suitable for large-scale deployment. By dividing the sensing field into different patches, when enough patches are formed, good localization accuracy can be achieved with high resolution. Then we analyze the relationship between sensing radius and localization error, we find that in a finite region where edge effect can't be ignored, the trend between sensing radius and localization error is not always consistent. Through theoretical analysis and simulation, we explore to determine the best sensing radius to achieve high localization accuracy.

본 논문은 선박소음 데이터에 음선 역전파 기법을 적용하여 수동 선박 위치 추정 알고리듬을 제시한다. 기존의 방법 [S. H. Abadi, D. Rouseff and D. R. Dowling, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 131, 2599-2610 (2012)]은 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨벌루션 및 음선 역전파 기법을 활용하여 배열의 기울기가 없는 근거리 환경에서 음원의 위치를 추정하였다. 하지만 위 방법은 배열의 기울기에 따른 위치 추정 오차가 크게 발생한다는 단점이 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨벌루션 및 음선 역전파 기법을 사용하되, 배열의 기울기를 보정하여 음원의 위치를 추정할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능은 SAVEX15(Shallow-water Acoustic Variability EXperiment in 2015)해상 실험의 선박소음 데이터를 이용하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 근거리 효과를 이용하여 음원의 위치를 추정하는 탐지 기법을 해양환경에 적용할 경우에 발생할 수 있는 위치추정 오차에 관하여 분석하였다. 삼각 (triangulation) 알고리듬과 파면곡률 (wavefront curvature) 알고리듬 등을 이용하는 근거리 탐지 기법은 음파가 2차원 평면 (방위, 거리)에서 전달된다고 가정한다. 그러나 해양환경은 2차원 평면이 아닌 3차원 공간 (방위, 거리, 수심)이므로 음파전달에 따른 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 3차원 공간을 가정한 경우에도 해양에서의 다중경로 음파전달을 고려하지 않았다면 역시 오차가 발생하게 될것이다. 근거리 탐지 기법의 위치추정 오차를 분석하기 위하여 다중경로 음파전달모델과 파면곡률을 이용한 초점 빔형성 (focused beamforming)기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 분석결과 수중음속구조, 해저면 수심, 해저면 경사와 음원의 거리 등에 따라 위치추정 오차가 달라짐을 볼 수 있었다.
