Abstract

Underwater localization is a key element in most underwater communication applications. Since GPS signals highly attenuate in water, precise ranging based techniques for localization need to be developed. In this paper we describe a modified Short Baseline (SBL) acoustic localization system, in which a scheme of multi-channel data acquisition based on LabVIEW, the Generalized Cross Correlation (GCC) algorithm, and the hyperbolic positioning algorithm are used. Simulation results show that the modified SBL acoustic localization system that we proposed can adapt to the underwater harsh environment better, and also can reduce the position statistical error of underwater target significantly.
