Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation has always been a hot topic for researchers. The complex and changeable environment makes it very challenging to estimate the DOA in a small snapshot and strong noise environment. The direction-of-arrival estimation method based on compressed sensing (CS) is a new method proposed in recent years. It has received widespread attention because it can realize the direction-of-arrival estimation under small snapshots. However, this method will cause serious distortion in a strong noise environment. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a DOA estimation algorithm based on the principle of CS and density-based spatial clustering (DBSCAN). First of all, in order to make the estimation accuracy higher, this paper selects a signal reconstruction strategy based on the basis pursuit de-noising (BPDN). In response to the challenge of the selection of regularization parameters in this strategy, the power spectrum entropy is proposed to characterize the noise intensity of the signal, so as to provide reasonable suggestions for the selection of regularization parameters; Then, this paper finds out that the DOA estimation based on the principle of CS will get a denser estimation near the real angle under the condition of small snapshots through analysis, so it is proposed to use a DBSCAN method to process the above data to obtain the final DOA estimate; Finally, calculate the cluster center value of each cluster, the number of clusters is the number of signal sources, and the cluster center value is the final DOA estimate. The proposed method is applied to the simulation experiment and the micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) vector hydrophone lake test experiment, and they are proved that the proposed method can obtain good results of DOA estimation under the conditions of small snapshots and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

The MUSIC algorithm cannot deal with the problem of DOA estimation of coherent sources, this paper proposes the USTC (unitary spatio-temporal correlation matrices)-MUSIC algorithm using single vector hydrophone to solve this problem, by utilizing the unitary spatio-temporal correlation matrix instead of the covariance matrix. The simulation results demonstrate that the USTC-MUSIC algorithm has a better ability to distinguish the coherent sources from different directions than the spatial smoothing MUSIC algorithm.

Vector-hydrophone can simultaneously measure acoustic pressure and orthogonal components of the particle velocity. The 180o ambiguity in DOA estimation can be eliminated using information obtained by vector hydrophone array. Multiple signal classification algorithm is a method that takes the eigen-decomposition of data co-variance matrix to obtain the estimation of signal spatial spectrum. The two-dimensional DOA of acoustic sources is estimated based on multiple signal classification algorithm using the vector-hydrophone uniform linear array. Simulation results show that better DOA resolution performance can be obtained from vector hydrophones. Furthermore, the paper takes the de-correlation of correlated sources using spatial smoothness technology to obtain perfect performance of two-dimensional DOA estimation.

In the traditional acoustic vector data processing, the output of a single vector hydrophone is modeled as a complex vector, which cannot hold the orthogonal structure of the hydrophone. Here, the complex-quaternion model of the vector hydrophone is proposed. The velocity elements are put in the position of the three imaginary parts, which retains the orthogonality of the velocity sensors. As the non-stationary properties of the surface vessel’s radiated signals, the received data are divided into multiple frames. The covariance matrices and their vectorizations of each frame are calculated. An orthogonal projection is employed to eliminate the background noises. Then the noise-free covariance matrix is used to estimate the DOA’s of the sources by taking use of MUSIC algorithm. The simulations verify the good performance of the proposed algorithm.
