Embodiment

For example the present invention is done description in more detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

Among the present invention, as Fig. 1, beacon 1 is anchored to the seabed, and the position is X _bWith time interval T periodic transmission ping; Ultra-short baseline acoustic basic matrix 2 is installed on the waterborne vessel, and high-precision GPS 3 is installed on the ship.The ultra-short baseline acoustic basic matrix is at different point position X _GiDetect the acoustical signal of beacon and to its direction finding, obtain the orientation of beacon under earth coordinates in conjunction with the ship appearance data of ultra-short baseline alignment error calibration result and this measuring point

θ wherein _iBe defined as the i measuring point and record beacon acoustical signal horizontal direction and direct north angle;

Be defined as the glancing angle that the i measuring point records the beacon acoustical signal.

The mode of choosing such as Fig. 2 of measuring point suppose that measuring point 1 position is X _G1, record the level orientation θ of beacon ₁Choosing water surface ship's head then is θ ₁-60 °, navigate by water and stop after certain distance, carry out the 2nd point measurement, obtain beacon level orientation θ ₂Choosing water surface ship's head then is θ ₂-60 °, distance to go r ₀After stop, carrying out the 3rd point measurement, obtain beacon level orientation θ ₃And the like, obtain N measurement point and corresponding measurement result.This method has utilized the direction finding ability of ultra-short baseline that waterborne vessel is carried out bearing directing, and can guarantee that the distance of point position and subsea beacon is more and more nearer.

Suppose beacon coordinate X _b=(x _b, y _b, z _b), point position coordinate X _G1=(x _Gi, y _Gi, z _Gi), following relation is arranged so:

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{x}_b-x_{\mathrm{Gi}}=r_{\mathrm{ai}}\cos {\mathrm{\θ}}_i\\ y_b-y_{\mathrm{Gi}}=r_{\mathrm{ai}}\sin {\mathrm{\θ}}_i\end{array}\right.---\left(1\right)$

In the formula

$r_{\mathrm{ai}}=\sqrt{{(x_b-x_{\mathrm{Gi}})}^2+{(y_b-y_{\mathrm{Gi}})}^2}---\left(2\right)$

The horizontal range of representing each measuring point and beacon position.It is the level orientation of the example synoptic diagram that crosses that Fig. 3 has provided with the both sides point.

Equation (1) is a nonlinear equation, adopts Newton method to solve the horizontal coordinate of beacon, back substitution is as a result obtained the horizontal range r of each measuring point and beacon in the formula (2) _Ai

Because the depth of water of ultra-short baseline acoustic basic matrix is known, distributing according to horizontal range, glancing angle and the velocity of sound can be in the hope of the depth coordinate of beacon position.The method that two kinds of realizations are arranged.

First method.For each measuring point, from glancing angle

Set out and carry out the sound ray tracking, when horizontal range is r _AiIn time, stop, and this moment, the corresponding degree of depth was the estimation of Depth of beacon

Then to the estimation of Depth of a plurality of measuring points Ask average, the ultimate depth that obtains beacon is estimated

$\hat{z}=\frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{N}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{\hat{z}}_i---\left(3\right)$

This method is because each measuring point all needs to carry out a sound ray tracking, and calculated amount is big, and is particularly like this under the many situations of measuring point.

Second method.To any one measuring point, obtain beacon degree of depth initial value by first method Under the condition certain in the degree of depth, that velocity of sound distribution is certain, the horizontal range of acoustic propagation and glancing angle have fixing funtcional relationship, as shown in the formula:

Wherein r is an oblique distance, and f () reaches the function that the corresponding velocity of sound distributes and determines deeply by the sea, can approach by numerical evaluation according to the snell law and find the solution.

Be the glancing angle of acoustical signal in ultra-short baseline acoustic basic matrix position.

Acoustic propagation time delay according to each measuring point can be in the hope of the horizontal range r of each measuring point and beacon _Ai ⁽¹⁾The definition error e:

$e=\underset{i=1}{\overset{N}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{(r_{\mathrm{ai}}^{\left(1\right)}-r_{\mathrm{ai}})}^2---\left(5\right)$

Change the degree of depth

Search for, when enough hour corresponding beacon degree of depth of e is the beacon estimation of Depth.The method of search can adopt dichotomy.
