Using the echo pattern to range a sound source
Description
One of the currently exciting areas in SONAR research is in the use of acoustic channel models to improve SONAR systems. In this paper, we use the echo pattern at a single phone to localise a sound source in both range and depth in the ocean. To make the localisation robust, the signal processing is set-up with particular regard to which acoustic features are reliable and clear encoders of the source position. The resulting algorithm was tested using experimental data collected during INTIMATE’96- a shallow water experiment conducted on the Portuguese continental shelf[1]. The results show successful tracking over a period of several days encompassing two fixed 25-hour stations and an 18-hour period of ship manoeuvres.
