An approximate analytical solution of horizontal-longitudinal correlation coefficient is derived based on the ray method. Combining the characteristic of Lloyd＇s mirror interference pattern, the variability of acoustic field and its effect on horizontal-longitudinal spatial correlation are discussed. The theoretical pre- diction agrees well with the numerical results. Experimental results confirm the validity of analytical solution. Finally, the applicability of the analytical solution is summarized. The conclusion is beneficial for the design of bottom-moored array and the estimation of integral time for moving source localization.展开更多

Firstly, the SPRT is developed aiming at the heuristic segments formed by correlation analysis. In order to avoid missing detection the threshold is chosen much lower. Secondly, by adding samples and choosing the one most similar to the heuristic segment to make state estimation FSS is implemented. This time we choose a higher threshold. Moreover in preprocessing the compound kernel estimation is designed to depress varying background clutter. Multiple experimental sequences validate that the method is more suitable for the dim targets detection and tracking compared with the scheme choosing the higher intensity pixel in tracking. It not only has perfect detection performance but also can greatly enhance tracking performance.展开更多

The noise sources are assumed to be statistically independent directional point sources distributed over the ocean surface, and the effects of ocean environment on ambient noise are studied. The normal-mode theory of surface-generated noise is developed, and the normal-mode formula of the directional density function suitable for small grazing angles is analytically continued for being suitable for great grazing angles and consistent with the ray formula. The unified formulae for calculating the intensities, spatial correlation and vertical directivity of ambient sea noise are presented.展开更多
