Robust Conditional Probability Constraint Matched Field Processing

摘要

In order to improve the robustness of Adaptive Matched Field Processing (AMFP), a Conditional Probability Constraint Matched Field Processing (MEP-CPC) is proposed. The algorithm derives the posterior probability density of the source locations from Bayesian Criterion, then the main lobe of AMFP is protected and the side lobe is restricted by the posterior probability density, so MEP-CPC not only has the merit of high resolution as AMFP, but also improves the robustness. To evaluate the algorithm, the simulated and experimental data in an uncertain shallow ocean environment is used. The results show that in the uncertain ocean environment MFP-CPC is robust not only to the moored source, but also to the moving source. Meanwhile, the localization and tracking is consistent with the trajectory of the moving source.
