Passive Sensor Imaging Using Cross Correlations of Noisy Signals in a Scattering Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that the travel time or even the full Green’s function between two passive sensors can be estimated from the cross correlation of recorded signal amplitudes generated by ambient noise sources. It is also known that the direction of the energy flux from the noise sources affects the estimation of the travel time. Using the stationary phase method we show here that the travel time can be effectively estimated when the ray joining the two sensors continues into the noise source region. We extend this analysis to passive sensor imaging of reflectors with different ambient noise source configurations by suitably migrating the cross correlations. If in addition there is multiple scattering in the medium then reflectors can be imaged with passive sensor networks or arrays by migrating suitable fourth-order cross correlations. Fourth-order cross correlations can also be used with auxiliary passive sensors in order to enhance travel time estimation in a scattering medium.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation in Passive Correlation-Based Imaging
We consider here the problem of imaging using passive incoherent recordings due to ambient noise sources. The first step towards imaging in this configuration is the computation of the cross-correlations of the recorded signals. These cross-correlations are computed between pairs of sensors (receivers) and they contain very important information about the background medium. Indeed, it was shown...
متن کاملResolution analysis for imaging with noise
We analyze the resolution of imaging functionals that migrate the cross correlation matrices of passive sensor arrays. These matrices are obtained by cross correlating signals emitted by ambient noise sources and recorded by the passive sensor array. They contain information about reflectors in the surrounding medium. Therefore, travel time or Kirchhoff migration of the cross correlations can, ...
متن کاملRole of Scattering in Virtual Source Array Imaging
We consider imaging in a scattering medium where the illumination goes through this medium but there is also an auxiliary, passive receiver array that is near the object to be imaged. Instead of imaging with the source-receiver array on the far side of the object we image with the data of the passive array on the near side of the object. The imaging is done with travel time migration using the ...
متن کاملFiltered Kirchhoff Migration of Cross Correlations of Ambient Noise Signals
In this paper we study passive sensor imaging with ambient noise sources by suitably migrating cross correlations of the recorded signals. We propose and study different imaging functionals. A new functional is introduced that is an inverse Radon transform applied to a special function of the cross correlation matrix. We analyze the properties of the new imaging functional in the high-frequency...
متن کاملSignal to Noise Ratio Analysis in Virtual Source Array Imaging
We consider correlation-based imaging of a reflector located on one side of a passive array where the medium is homogeneous. On the other side of the array the illumination by remote impulsive sources goes through a strongly scattering medium. It has been shown in [J. Garnier and G. Papanicolaou, Inverse Problems, 28 (2012), 075002] that migrating the cross correlations of the passive array giv...
