Description
Summary:Abstract The underwater localization of a broadband target in the presence of strong interference and noise has been widely investigated. A novel clutter suppression approach based on oblique projections is proposed, exploiting the prior information of the expected target response. The method uses a generalised likelihood ratio formulation to select the oblique projection best matching the measured data. The performance of the proposed method is verified through numerical examples and measured sonar data. The results indicate that the method provides good performance for time difference of arrival estimation and target localization under low signal to clutter ratio as compared to existing methods.
