Abstract

Matched-mode processing (MMP) methods have been widely investigated for source localization and geoacoustic inversion. For horizontal line arrays (HLA), it aims at retrieving the horizontal wavenumbers and thus at inferring source range and bearing. In this work, the matched-mode is performed by applying the deconvolution of the waveguide response in a narrowband context in order to improve the localization accuracy. Deconvolution usually refers to a sparse framework when the number of sources is smaller than the number of sensors of the HLA. The Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm is then used in this work. First results from numerical simulations for Pekeris waveguide highlight better localization accuracy than MMP. The deconvolution shows as well stronger robustness to mismatch in the sound speed values of the seabed. Results from measurement campaign, involving large HLA, low to ultra-low frequency and water depth up to 1500 m are investigated as well.
