Abstract

The proposed algorithm deals with a detection problem of target echo for narrow-band continuous-wave active sonar in the underwater environment in this paper. In the active sonar systems, ping signal emitted for target detection produces a signal that consists of multiple reflections by many scatterers around, which is called reverberation. The proposed algorithm aims to detect the low-Doppler target echo in the reverberant environment. The proposed algorithm estimates the bearing, frequency, and temporal bases based on beamspace-domain multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization. In particular, the bases are divided into two basis groups – the reverberation group and the echo group, then the basis groups are estimated independently. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, a simulation with synthesized reverberation was performed. The results show that the proposed algorithm has enhanced performance than the conventional algorithms.

본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 수중에서 협대역 지속파 능동 소나를 이용하여 표적 반향음을 탐지하는 문제를 다루고 있다. 능동 소나에서 표적 탐지를 위해 방사한 핑 신호는 주변의 많은 산란체에 의해 반사되는 신호를 만들어내며, 이를 잔향이라 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 잔향 환경에서 낮은 도플러의 표적 반향음을 탐지하는 것을 목표로 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 빔공간 다채널 비음수 행렬 분해 기법을 기반으로 하여 방위, 주파수, 시간 기저를 추정하며, 특히 기저를 두 개의 기저집단 -잔향음 기저집단과 반향음 기저집단으로 나누어 독립적으로 추정한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 합성된 잔향 신호를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 향상된 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
