Research Abstract

Ambient noise imaging(ANI) is the novel idea to utilize natural ocean ambient noises positively. We designed and fabricated an aspherical lens with an aperture diameter of 1.0 m to develop a prototype system for ANI. It was also verified that this acoustic lens realizes a directional resolution, which is a beam width of 1 degree at the center frequency of 120 kHz over the field of view from-7 to+7 degrees. The sea trial of silent target detection using the prototype ANI system was conducted under only natural ocean ambient noise at Uchiura Bay, in November of 2010.We proposed a classification method to extract transients of only target scatterings from many transient noises. By analyzing transients extracted as target scatterings, it was verified that the power spectrum density levels of the on-target directions were greater than those of the off-target directions in the higher frequency band over 60 kHz. These results showed that the targets are successfully detected under natural ocean ambient noise, mainly generated by snapping shrimps.
