AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper discusses advancements in multistatic active sonar systems, which improve target detection and localization through spatial diversity.
  • It introduces three main contributions: a hybrid dense-sparse method for creating accurate range-Doppler images with low sidelobe levels, a generalized K-Means clustering method for associating range measurements from various transmitter-receiver pairs, and an extended invariance principle-based weighted least-squares method for estimating target position and velocity.
  • The effectiveness of these techniques is validated through numerical examples.

Article Abstract

Multistatic active sonar systems involve the transmission and reception of multiple probing sequences and can achieve significantly enhanced performance of target detection and localization through exploiting spatial diversity. This paper mainly focuses on two signal processing aspects of such systems, namely, enhanced range-Doppler imaging and improved target parameter estimation. The main contributions of this paper are (1) a hybrid dense-sparse method is proposed to generate range-Doppler images with both low sidelobe levels and high accuracy; (2) a generalized K-Means clustering (GKC) method for target association is developed to associate the range measurements from different transmitter-receiver pairs, which is actually a range fitting procedure; (3) the extended invariance principle-based weighted least-squares method is developed for accurate target position and velocity estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed multistatic active sonar signal processing techniques is verified using numerical examples.

This study presents a new procedure for high-precision Sm isotope analysis by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS) for geological samples. A four-step chemical separation scheme results in sharp separation of Sm and Nd from the same sample aliquot. The first step utilises anion exchange resin to remove Fe from the sample solution.

A number of organisms, including dolphins, bats and electric fish, possess sophisticated active sensory systems that use self-generated signals (for example, acoustic or electrical emissions) to probe the environment. Studies of active sensing in social groups have typically focused on strategies for minimizing interference from conspecific emissions. However, it is well known from engineering that multiple spatially distributed emitters and receivers can greatly enhance environmental sensing (for example, multistatic radar and sonar).

Indoor fall monitoring is challenging for community-dwelling older adults due to the need for high accuracy and privacy concerns. Doppler radar is promising, given its low cost and contactless sensing mechanism. However, the line-of-sight restriction limits the application of radar sensing in practice, as the Doppler signature will vary when the sensing angle changes, and signal strength will be substantially degraded with large aspect angles.

Noncollaborative surveillance of airborne UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) is a key enabler to the safe integration of UAS within a UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) ecosystem. Thus, a wide variety of new sensors (known as Counter-UAS sensors) are being developed to provide real-time UAS tracking, ranging from radar, RF analysis and image-based detection to even sound-based sensors. This paper aims to discuss the current state-of-the art technology in this wide variety of sensors (both academically and commercially) and to propose a set of simulation models for them.
