A Parametric Approach to Extended Source Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Point source modeling is frequently used in m a y processing. Although this assumption is good for many applications, thm are some situations where point source modeling is unrealistic. For instance, in a multi-beam echo sounder, a reflected signal from the scs floor appears as a spatially extended source. In this paper we investigate distributed sources. The approach is based on the a ~ s u m p t i ~ that the correlation kernel of the distributed source belongs to a family of parametric functions. We generalize the MUSIC algorithm to distributed signal parameter estimator (DSPE). The DSPE locaZizer minimizes a scdar product between an estimated basis for the noise subspace and the m a y manifold. We study two cases corresponding to completely correlated and totally uncorrelated signal distributions, We also discuss limitations of the application of ordinary beamformer techniques to spatially distributed signals by computing the m a y gain. It is shown that the array gain is upper bounded by a value which depends on the extension width of the source. Thus increasing the number of the sensors in a beamformer does not necessarily increase the resolution.

متن کاملA maximum-likelihood parametric approach to source localizations
Source localization using passive sensor arrays has been an active research problem for many years. Most near-field source localization algorithms involve two separate estimations, namely, relative time-delay estimations and source location estimation. In this paper, a one-step maximum-likelihood parametric source localization algorithm is proposed based on the maximum correlation between time ...

In this paper, we have continued doing a research project which had done previously. Three types of power plants include an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), a Dual-Fluid-Hybrid (DFH) and a single-fluid hybrid-fueled (HYB); were re-modeled. After model validation, thermodynamic studies and exergy analysis were extended for the defined cases using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Then the...

Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...

Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...
