Coherent, High Resolution Processor to Localize and Track Acoustic Sources

摘要

Localizing a source using matching-field processing requires enough array elements to have an adequate array gain and a very good knowledge of the oceanic environment. It often is complicated by the presence of loud, fast- moving interferers, and the source itself being non-stationary. Our goal is to develop a robust matched-field processing technique well suited for practical applications in challenging environments.
