Acoustic vector circular array source number detection method based on characteristic value multiple threshold correction

Abstract

The invention belongs to the acoustic vector sensor array signal processing field, and more specifically relates to an acoustic vector circular array source number detection method based on characteristic value multiple threshold correction which is applied to underwater target remote passive detection. The method comprises establishing an acoustic vector circular array signal receiving model, obtaining acoustic vector circular array receiving acoustic pressure data, radial vibration velocity data and tangential vibration velocity, constructing a covariance matrix of acoustic vector circular array acoustic pressure and vibration velocity combined treatment, and decomposing characteristic values; and performing multiple threshold division treatment on a characteristic value set obtained by decomposing the covariance matrix to obtain a signal and noise corresponding characteristic value set. The method dynamically integrates an information theory detection method based on characteristic value multiple thresholds and the sound anti-noise performance of an acoustic vector circular array, obviously reduces the signal to noise ratio threshold of a detection algorithm, and overcomes the disadvantages that traditional detection methods such as MDL, diagonal loading MDL, and GDE are more sensitive to noise characteristic value change.
