摘要: 在水下无人系统中使用矢量水听器进行声源方位估计具有较大的优势, 采用加权直方图法可以利用单个矢量水听器实现方位估计, 且计算量较小。文中分析了声能流检测器的原理, 由声能流可以获得平面内声能量的分布情况, 为加权直方图法提供了理论基础。通过分析发现: 在低信噪比下, 声源的能量扩展到了真实方位之外, 使得加权直方图法的统计间隔会分割声源能量, 从而出现方位估计误差。针对这一问题, 提出了改进的基于能量搜索的加权直方图法, 该算法采用滑动窗口法寻找声源所在区间, 并利用重心法获得区间内的能量中心即方位估计的结果。通过仿真证明: 改进后的算法在统计间隔为10°, 信噪比为-10~10 dB时, 均比原算法具有更好的性能, 其均方根误差平均减小43.7%, 且在多目标(干扰)环境下的方位估计结果也更准确。文中研究可为有效改进单矢量水听器方位估计算法提供参考。Abstract: Using vector hydrophone for direction of arrival(DOA) estimation in unmanned undersea system is advantageous, and this can be realized by the weighted histogram method with less computation using single vector hydrophone. In this study, the principle of acoustic energy flux detector is analyzed, the distribution of acoustic energy in the plane can be obtained from acoustic energy flux, which provides the theoretical basis for the weighted histogram method. It is observed that the energy of the sound source extends beyond the real orientation under low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) through the analysis. Hence, the statistical interval of the weighted histogram method will segment the energy of the sound source and a DOA estimation error will occur. Aiming to the problem existing in the previous algorithm, an improved weighted histogram method based on energy search is proposed. In the new algorithm, the slide window method is used to find the range of sound source, and the center of gravity method is used to obtain the energy center which is the DOA estimation result. The simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance when the statistical interval is 10° and the SNR is within the range of 10 dB to 10 dB. Its root mean square error is 43.7% less than that of the previous algorithm and its DOA estimation results are comparatively accurate in a multi-target(interference) environment. The research in this paper provides a reference for improving the algorithm of DOA estimation using single vector hydrophone.
