Doppler-based motion estimation for wide-band sources from single passive sensor measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of estimating the motion of a wide-band source from single passive sensor measurements, for example, estimation of the speed and position of a car moving on a road from the recording of its acoustic signature at a microphone located next to the road. We present a new computationally efficient method based on a time-varying ARMA model for Doppler-shifted random processes. Unlike previously proposed approaches which rely on a “local” periodicity hypothesis for the signal source, or a cyclostationary assumption, our method assumes only that the source is stationary and admits a rational (ARMA) model. The method is tested on synthetic and real acoustic data.

Modeling and Estimation for Doppler-shifted Random Processes
Signals emitted by moving sources and received at a xed sensor are subject to the Doppler eeect. For narrow-band signals the Doppler eeect amounts simply to a frequency shift. The eeect is more complex when the signals are wide-band. In this paper, a mathematical model for Doppler-shifted wide-band signal is introduced. The model assumes that the wide-band moving source can be represented by a ...
متن کاملFlight Path Estimation Using Multipath Delay Measurements from a Wide Aperture Acoustic Array
The flight path of an aircraft travelling at constant velocity and constant altitude is described by a set of five motion parameters which can be estimated using a ground-based wide aperture acoustic array. The narrowband motion parameter estimation method, based on the Doppler effect, requires the aircraft to emit an acoustic tone that is often absent in the case of a jet aircraft. The motion ...

Oceanographic images obtained from environmental satellites by a wide range of sensors allow characterizing natural phenomena through different physical measurements. For instance Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images, altimetry data and ocean color data can be used for characterizing currents and vortex structures in the ocean. The purpose of this thesis is to derive a relatively complete frame...
متن کاملBias Estimation and Observability for Optical Sensor Measurements with Targets of Opportunity
Multisensor systems use fusion of data from multiple sensors to form accurate estimates of a target track. To fuse multiple sensor data the individual sensor data must be expressed in a common reference frame. A problem encountered in multisensor systems is the presence of errors due to sensor bias. Some sources of bias errors include: measurement biases due to the deterioration of initial sens...
متن کاملTheory of Passive Synthetic Aperture Imaging
We present a unified theory for passive synthetic aperture imaging based on inverse scattering, estimation-detection theory and microlocal analysis. Passive synthetic aperture imaging uses sources of opportunity for illumination and moving receivers to measure scattered field. We consider passive airborne receivers that fly along arbitrary, but known, flight trajectories and static or mobile so...
