There are numerous methods in the literature for Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation, including both classical and machine learning-based approaches that jointly estimate the Number of Sources (NOS) and DOA. However, most of these methods do not fully leverage the potential synergies between these two tasks, which could yield valuable shared information. To address this limitation, in this article, we present a multi-task Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) capable of simultaneously estimating both the NOS and the DOA of the signal. Through experiments on simulated data, we demonstrate that our proposed model surpasses the performance of state-of-the-art methods, especially in challenging environments characterized by high noise levels and dynamic conditions.

Traditional spherical sector microphone arrays using omnidirectional microphones face limitations in modal strength and spatial resolution, especially within spherical sector configurations. This study aims to enhance array performance by developing a spherical sector array employing first-order cardioid microphones. A model based on spherical sector harmonic (SSH) functions is introduced to extend the benefits of spherical harmonics to sector arrays.

A New Method for Joint Sparse DOA Estimation.

Sensors (Basel)

National Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Space Security, Jiaxing 314000, China.

To tackle the issue of poor accuracy in single-snapshot data processing for Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation in passive radar systems, this paper introduces a method for judiciously leveraging multi-snapshot data. This approach effectively enhances the accuracy of DOA estimation and spatial angle resolution in passive radar systems. Additionally, in response to the non-convex nature of the mixed norm, we propose a hyperbolic tangent model as a replacement, transforming the problem into a directly solvable convex optimization problem.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper discusses how the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for sonar on an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) can be affected by interference from both nearby and distant sources.
  • It introduces a sparsity-based DOA estimation method that separates weak far-field signals from near-field interferences using sparse reconstruction techniques.
  • The method also incorporates subspace projection to improve the estimation of weak target signals that are masked by strong interferences, showing better performance in simulations and experiments compared to other advanced estimation methods.

A high-resolution method for direction of arrival estimation based on an improved self-attention module.

J Acoust Soc Am

October 2024

National Key Laboratory of Underwater Acoustic Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China.

The high-resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is a prominent research issue in underwater acoustics. The existing high-resolution methods include subspace methods and sparse representation methods. However, the performance of subspace methods suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and limited snapshots conditions, and the computational complexity of sparse representation methods is too high.
