摘要:

针对V形布置深水多波束测深声呐(multibeam echo sounder, MBES)相较于同尺度平面T形布置声呐接收波束宽度变宽, 导致海底镜像回波区域测深效果欠佳的问题, 提出一种基于分扇区反卷积和目标回波区间确定的改进测深方法。该方法通过分扇区反卷积算法对常规波束形成(conventional beamforming, CBF)输出进行处理, 缩小接收波束宽度和降低旁瓣级, 从而提升海底镜像回波区域的测深精度和测深分辨力。另外, 在CBF输出的基础上采用多次检测算法确定发射扇区的目标回波区间, 降低由分扇区反卷积算法所带来的高计算负载。仿真实验表明, 所提方法一方面可提升测深分辨力, 相较于传统测深方法能够获得更清晰的海底目标形状及图像;另一方面可提高测深精度, 在不同海底地形场景下, 相比于传统测深方法均能提高70%以上。采用多次检测算法预先确定目标回波区间大幅度提高了计算效率, 在不同海底地形场景下计算时间提升率均在96%以上, 方便方法后续实时化应用。此外, 海试数据进一步证明该方法在实际工程应用的可行性, 测深精度相较于传统测深方法提升了37.66%。

Abstract:

An improved bathymetry method based on sector-divided deconvolution and target echo interval determination is proposed to address the issue of V-shaped deep-water multibeam echo sounder (MBES) receiving beam width being wider than that of T-shaped sonar with the same scale, leading to poor bathymetry effect in the mirror echo region of seabed. This method improves the bathymetry accuracy and resolution of the mirror echo region of the seabed by processing the conventional beamforming (CBF) output through the sector-divided deconvolution algorithm, resulting in a reduction of the receiving beam-width and sidelobe level. Additionally, the high computing load caused by the sector-divided deconvolution algorithm is decreased by using the multi-detection algorithm to determine the target echo interval of the transmitted sector based on the CBF output. The simulation results demonstrate that, in comparison to conventional bathymetry methods, the proposed method enhances bathymetry resolution and yields more distinct shapes and images of submarine targets. On the other hand, in various scenarios of seabed terrain, the accuracy of bathymetry is enhanced, with on improvement of exceeding 70% when compared to conventional bathymetry methods. The calculation efficiency is significantly increased by using multiple detection algorithms to determine the target echo interval beforehand. In various scenarios involving seabed terrain, the calculation time increase rate exceeds 96%, making the method convenient for subsequent real-time application. The sea test data also demonstrates the viability of the proposed method in real-world engineering applications, and it improves sounding accuracy over the conventional bathymetry method by 37.66%.
