摘要:
An acoustic signal traversing a hot gas is sampled at a source and a receiver and is represented in overlapping windows that maximize useable signal content. Samples in each window are processed to represented in different sparsified bins in the frequency domain. Determining a signal delay between the source and the receiver from a summation of maximum smoothed coherence transform cross-correlation values of different data windows wherein a sparseness of a mean smoothed coherence transform cross-correlation of windows is maximized. Determining a set of delay times wherein outliers are deleted to estimate a time of flight from which a temperature of the hot gas is calculated.
