Strong noise interference suppression of a passive towed linear array based on sparse coefficient reconstruction after eroding and smoothing
To address the issue of significant performance degradation in bearing estimation of passive towed linear arrays caused by strong acoustic noise interference underwater
a novel method for noise suppression is proposed to reconstruct sparse coefficients after eroding and smoothing. This method leverages spatial sparse representation of towed linear array data through the application of a compressed sensing technique at signal frequency domains of a wideband array. By incorporating erosion and smoothing algorithms that are commonly utilized in digital image processing
the bearing-time recording represented by sparse coefficients was processed to estimate a noise reduction weighting factor. Subsequently
the sparse coefficients were adjusted accordingly
resulting in the reconstruction of denoised data. The simulation and sea trial data analysis demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed method in mitigating significant noise interference in the received data within the specified parameters. The noise interference power in the processed simulation data and sea trial data was observed to be considerably reduced. These findings provide a basis for enhancing the performance of target detection in the future.
