    摘要: The present disclosure belongs to the field of underwater target detection, and in particular, to a method for detecting a moving target based on spatial slices of transformed spatio-temporal frequency space. The method includes: segmenting a target radiated acoustic signal received by an M-element horizontal line array in an underwater acoustic environment with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); performing N-point discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the received signal on each array element in each period of time; performing frequency domain beamforming on an array signal after each section of DFT, and performing stacking after compensating a phase difference between arrays brought by an azimuth of each primitive element; performing coordinate transformation on a frequency-azimuth-time three-dimensional (3D) matrix space obtained; taking a slice from the obtained frequency-azimuth-time 3D space subjected to the coordinate transformation; and performing segmented Radon transform on the spatial slice obtained to detect the target.

    摘要: Examples methods and systems for locating an actor in an environment are described herein. For example, an information system may receive point cloud data representing a cluster of potential actors at a location in the environment. In addition, the information system may also receive location information from a device indicating that the current location of the device is proximate to the location of the cluster of potential actors. Based on movement information from the device that indicates movements of the device, the information system may determine a portion of the point cloud data that displays movements that matches the movement of the device. Using the determined portion of the point cloud, the information system may identify a particular actor of the cluster that corresponds to the device and provide an output signal indicating that the determined portion of the point cloud represents the identified particular actor.

    摘要: The embodiments provide systems and methods for touchless sensing and gesture recognition using continuous wave sound signals. Continuous wave sound, such as ultrasound, emitted by a transmitter may reflect from an object, and be received by one or more sound receivers. Sound signals may be temporally encoded. Received sound signals may be processed to determine a channel impulse response or calculate time of flight. Determined channel impulse responses may be processed to extract recognizable features or angles. Extracted features may be compared to a database of features to identify a user input gesture associated with the matched feature. Angles of channel impulse response curves may be associated with an input gesture. Time of flight values from each receiver may be used to determine coordinates of the reflecting object. Embodiments may be implemented as part of a graphical user interface. Embodiments may be used to determine a location of an emitter.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the angular calibration of passive reception systems such as sonars or active ones such as certain radars whose angular performance is inadequate.The invention proposes a method making it possible to perform antenna calibration using the detection system associated with this antenna under real operating conditions.The method according to the invention consists in making an immersed noisemaker deployed along a substantially rectilinear uniform trajectory and a submarine equipped with an antenna to be calibrated along any trajectory whatsoever, but nonrectilinear.The method according to the invention consists also in implementing a trajectography algorithm making it possible to determine the noisemaker-antenna relative distance at known instants the, and to deduce therefrom the trajectory followed by the noisemaker as well as the bearing corresponding to the positions of the noisemaker at the measurement instants. The bearing thus calculated is compared with the bearing measurements carried out directly by the sonar associated with the antenna to be calibrated.This method applies in particular to the calibration of sonar antennas during their commissioning.

    摘要: A mixer shifts the center frequency of a received signal to a baseband according to a center frequency detected by a center frequency detector or a center frequency estimated from ship speed, for example, by a center frequency estimator. The passband of a variable passband filter varies according to a bandwidth detected directly from the received signal by a bandwidth detector or a bandwidth estimated from the pulselength of a transmitting signal by a bandwidth estimator, whereby the bandwidth of a baseband signal output from the mixer is limited to remove undesired noise components in the received signal.
