Bearing-Only Multi-Target Localization Incorporating Waveguide Characteristics for Low Detection Rate Scenarios in Shallow Water by Xiaohan Mei, Bo Zhang, Duo Zhai, Zhaohui Peng

“…A <i>β</i>-S-dimensional assignment (<i>β</i>-SDA) method incorporating waveguide characteristics is proposed to address the BOMTL problem in shallow water with low detection rates. The estimated distance for the warping transformation is derived from the intersection points of the bearing lines, then the autocorrelation function of the broadband beamforming output is transformed using a warping operator to obtain the corresponding characteristic spectrum. …”
