Popis: | This article is dedicated to the phase compensation problem associated with synthetic aperture sonar beamforming. Array movements during the time of synthesis and medium heterogeneity have to be compensated at a degree of accuracy of a fraction of wavelength to achieve the full resolution expected from theory. We present a phase noise correction scheme based on 2D correlations of conventional beam signals coming from adjacent pings. Successful compensation of ping to ping lateral displacement amplitudes up to 75 /spl lambda/ have been achieved by the proposed method on DUBM-42 actual sonar data (the DUBM-42 is a French Navy owned high resolution side looking imaging sonar at 400 kHz). |
