In this paper, matched field processing algorithm robust to environmental mismatches in an ocean waveguide based on feature extraction is summarized. However, in applying this processor to localize a source there are two preliminary issues to be resolved. One is the number of eigenvectors to be extracted and the other is the number of environmental samples to be used. To determine these issues, the relation between the number of dominant modes propagating in a given ocean waveguide and that of eigenvectors to be extracted is analyzed. Then, the analysis results are confirmed by the subspace analysis. This analysis quantifies the similarity between the subspace spanned by the signal vectors and that spanned by the eigenvectors to be extracted. The error index is defined as a relative difference between the location estimated by the current processor and the real source location. It is identified that in the case of extracting the largest eigenvectors equal to the number of dominant modes in a given environment, the processor localizes the source successfully. From the numerical simulations, it is shown that use of at least 30 environmental samples guarantee stable performance of the proposed processor.

Recently, a score-penalty method has been used for the acoustic passive tracking of marine mammals. The interesting aspect of this technique lies in the loss function, which has a penalty term representing the mismatch between the measured signal and the modeled signal, while the traditional time-domain matched-field processing is positively considering the match between them. In this study, we apply the score-penalty method into the depth estimation of a passive target with a known source waveform. Assuming deep ocean environments with uncertainties in the sound speed profile, we evaluate the score-penalty method, comparing it with the time-domain matched field processing method. We shows that the score-penalty method is more accurate than the time-domain matched field processing method in the ocean environment with weak mismatch of sound speed profile, and has better efficiency. However, in the ocean enviroment with strong mismatch of the sound speed profile, the score-penalty method also fails in the depth estimation of a target, similar to the time-domain matched-field processing method.

In matched field processing (MEP), the observed acoustic field data is basically correlated with the replica produced by the modeling. therefore the results of source localization and correlation is limited by the mismatch of the environment and sensor location. In this paper. the effects of mismatch in environment and system on the bias in estimating the source location are investigated in the context of source localization. In the Pekeris waveguide, the simulation shows that the mismatches in environment and system, can cause a significant biases in the source localization and a degradation in MFP correlation. Mismatch caused by uncertainties in array tilt and depth, bottom depth, bottom sound speed, etc. causes degradation in source localization performance.

The shallow-water environment presents additional challenges arising from the complex interaction patterns of the sound with the sea bed. In order to overcome the difficulties generated by shallow-water propagation, broad-band matched field processing has been employed in an effort to increase robustness by utilizing multiple frequency information. In this paper, a coherent broad-band matched field processor is introduced that incorporates the spatial coherence of the acoustic field not only over one frequency but across frequencies. The incoherent and coherent processors are applied to the experimental data where it is shown that both processors give a high probability of correct localization. Also it is found that a coherent processor has better performance in the sidelobe pattern of ambiguity surfaces.

수동소나체계에서 음원의 위치와 관련된 매개변수를 산출하기 위해 정합장처리(Matched Field Processing)가 이용된다 본 연구에서는 수직선배열센서를 이용한 정합장처리에서 음원 위치추정에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인 중, 수직음속분포 오정합(mismatch)에 의한 영향을 MV 프로세서 (Minimum Variance Processor)를 이용하여 모의실험함으로써 그 결과를 분석하였다. 천해 모의환경에서 동일한 기울기로 증감하는 수직음속분포 오정합은 음원 위치추정에서 거리성분의 오차를 가지며, 상이한 기울기를 갖는 수직음속분포 오정합은 거리와 수심 성분의 오차가 유발됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 심해 모의 환경에서 수직음속분포 오정합은 거리와 수심 성분의 오차가 유발되고, 거리추정의 전반적인 경향은 천해의 동일한 기울기를 가지는 경우와 유사함을 확인할 수 있었다.

When using a sample covariance matrix data in paucity of snapshots, adaptive matched field processing will have problem in inverting covariance matrix due to the rank deficiency. The general solutions are diagonal loading and eigenanalysis methods, but there is a significant bias in the power output. This paper presents a quantitative study of bias of power output and the performance of source localization through the simulation and the measured data analysis in fixed source case using the diagonal loading method for the minimum variance processor. Results show that the bias in power output is reduced and the performance of source localization is improved when the number of snapshots is greater than the number of array sensors.

정합장 처리기법은 일반적으로 고정된 음원의 위치를 추정하는데 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 알고리즘 중에서 Bartlett, MV, MCM, FEM 프로세서를 CTA에 적용하여 이동하는 음원의 이동 경로를 추적하는 성능을 분석하였다. 천해환경에서 이동하는 음원의 경로를 추적하는 경우 FEM 기법이 다른 정합장 처리 방법보다 좋은 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다. 이동음원 데이터는 2001년 동해 실험 자료를 이용하였고, 실험환경에 대한 복제음장은 ORCA를 사용하여 구현하였다.

In this paper, we propose a medical image registration technique combining the gradient vector flow and modified conditional entropy. The registration is conducted by the use of a measure based on the entropy of conditional probabilities. To achieve the registration, we first define a modified conditional entropy (MCE) computed from the joint histograms for the area intensities of two given images. In order to combine the spatial information into a traditional registration measure, we use the gradient vector flow field. Then the MCE is computed from the gradient vector flow intensity (GVFI) combining the gradient information and their intensity values of original images. To evaluate the performance of the proposed registration method, we conduct experiments with our method as well as existing method based on the mutual information (MI) criteria. We evaluate the precision of MI- and MCE-based measurements by comparing the registration obtained from MR images and transformed CT images. The experimental results show that the proposed method is faster and more accurate than other optimization methods.

Detection and localization of a slow and quiet target in shallow water environments is a challenging problem for which it is well known that snapshot is deficient because of a fast and strong interferer. This paper presents waveguide interference filtering technique that mitigate strong interferer problems in adaptive matched field processing. MCM (multiple constraint method) based on NDC (null direction constraint) has been proposed for new spatial interferer filter. MCM-NDC using replica force a interferer component to be filtered through CSDM (cross-spectral density matrix). This filtering have an effect on sidelobe reduction and restoring of signal gain of a quiet target. This technique was applied to a simulation on Pekeris waveguide and vertical array data from MAPLE03 (matched acoustic properties and localization experiment) in the East Sea and was shown to improve SBNR (signal-to-background-and-noise ratio) over the standard MVDR (minimum-variance distortionless response) and NSP (null space projection) technique.

지문 정합을 할 때 특징점 사이의 거리와 각도가 유사한 순서대로 있는가를 비교하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 한 점에서 가장 가까운 특징점을 찾고 다시 찾은 점에서 가장 가까운 특징점을 찾는데 이러한 세 개의 특징점들 사이의 거리와 끼인 각도를 기본 요소로 하여 이들의 순차를 특징점 배치도로 정의하여 등록지문에도 유사한 순차가 있는지를 검사한다. 정합 시에 특징점 사이의 거리, 각도 순차가 있는가를 검사하기 때문에 중심점을 찾지 않아도 되며 지문의 이동, 회전에 영향을 받지 않는다.
