A three-dimensional matching localization algorithm based on helix triangular pyramid array

Abstract

On the eve of the occurrence of geological hazards, part of the rock and soil body begins to burst, rub, and fracture, generating infrasound signals propagating outward. 3D advanced positioning of the landslide has remained unsolved, which is important for disaster prevention. Through the Fourier transform and Hankel transform of the wave equation in cylindrical coordinates, this work established a three-dimensional axisymmetric sound field model based on normal waves, and designed a 4-element helix triangular pyramid array with vertical and horizontal sampling capabilities. Based on this, the three-dimensional matching localization algorithm of infrasound for geological hazards is proposed. Applying the algorithm to the infrasound signal localization of rock and soil layers, it was found that the helix triangular pyramid array can achieve accurate estimation of depth and distance with a smaller number of array elements than the traditional array, and may overcome the azimuth symmetry ambiguity. This study shows the application prospects of this method for predicting geohazards position several hours in advance.
