Acoustic Coherent Backscatter Enhancement from Aggregations of Point Scatterers
نویسنده
چکیده
The overall long-term goal for this project is to determine if and how acoustic coherent backscatter enhancement (ACBE) can be used for classification of active sonar returns in a wide variety of ocean environments. During its first two years, this project has focused on simulations of acoustic multiple scattering from aggregations of omni-directional point scatterers to determine the parametric realms in which ACBE might be observed, and its characteristics when it is observed.

متن کاملHigh-frequency volume and boundary acoustic backscatter fluctuations in shallow water.
Volume and boundary acoustic backscatter envelope fluctuations are characterized from data collected by the Toroidal Volume Search Sonar (TVSS), a 68 kHz cylindrical array capable of 360 degrees multibeam imaging in the vertical plane perpendicular to its axis. The data are processed to form acoustic backscatter images of the seafloor, sea surface, and horizontal and vertical planes in the volu...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Deconvolution of Beamformed Images with Signal-Dependent Speckle Fluctuations from Gaussian Random Fields: With Application to Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS)
Abstract: Wide area acoustic remote sensing often involves the use of coherent receiver arrays to determine the spatial distribution of sources and scatterers at any instant. The resulting acoustic intensity images are typically corrupted by signal-dependent noise from Gaussian random field fluctuations arising from the central limit theorem and have a spatial resolution that depends on the inc...
متن کاملCharacterization of tissue microstructure using ultrasonic backscatter: theory and technique for optimization using a Gaussian form factor.
Characterization of tissue microstructure through ultrasonic backscatter is hypothesized to aid in detection and classification of diseased tissues. Radio frequency signals backscattered from tissues can be modeled according to the assumed shape, size, and distribution of scatterers in tissues. Power spectra of rf backscattered signals describe the frequency dependence of scatterers. Experiment...
