Abstract

A passive broadband source localization approach in the deep ocean is proposed based on the coherent matched-field processing combined with a Riemannian distance. The spatial coherence between hydrophones over frequency bandwidth is utilized for eliminating the unknown source spectrum. Three Riemannian distances are introduced for the measurement of the similarity between the data and replica matrices. The experimental results indicate that the proposed processors with a short array can effectively suppress the sidelobe and improve the localization performance. The source localization influenced by the factors such as the aperture, number of hydrophones, and desired bandwidth is also demonstrated.
