Abstract In radar-based applications, Time Delay Estimation (TDE) is an essential criterion. Because of non-stationary behaviour, estimating the time delay between two turbulent signals is difficult. Existing delay estimation methods such as the cross correlation technique are restricted to stationary signals. The non-stationary signals are either fractal or periodic signal. The accuracy of this method is more reliable for fractal signals than for periodic signals. With a cost function at hand it is sensible to check whether the state correction results in a cost decrease in the first place, new parameter is optimized using Fuzzy Elephant Herding Optimization (FEHO). Further this paper incorporates ADAM based neural network (ADAM-NN) model for efficient time delay estimation. The study resulted in significant improvement upto 21.5% in estimating the time delay when compared with conventional methods.

Air leakage is one of the most significant energy waste factors in compressed air systems which account for about 10% of total industrial energy consumption. It is estimated that about 10%∼40% of the compressed air is wasted through leakage in most plants. A new ultrasonic leak detection method based on time delay estimation (TDE) is proposed to locate the compressed air leak for preventing energy waste in pneumatic systems. The accuracy of detection is highly dependent on the performance of the TDE method. Performances of six typical TDE methods based on generalized cross correlation (GCC) are compared, and these methods are the basic cross correlation (BCC), the Roth impulse response, the phase transform (PHAT), the smoothed coherence transform (SCOT), the WEINER processor, and the Hannan-Thomson (HT) processor. The experimental results show that: Firstly, the accuracy and precision of time delay estimation increases with the observation interval for all these methods. Secondly, the success rates of Roth, PHAT, SCOT and HT are much higher than that of BCC and WEINER, among which the HT processor performs best with a highest success rates closely followed by the PHAT processor. Thirdly, the HT processor which is a maximum likelihood estimator gives the minimum standard deviation of the time delay estimate; however, the standard deviations of all these GCC methods are very small. The HT processor outperforms other GCC methods in terms of success rate and standard deviation. Consequently, it is preferable to apply the HT processor for this particular purpose.

The time delay estimation algorithm based on generalized cross correlation, can suppress the noise power effectively. More accurate result can be gotten by this method of time delay estimation. It is proved by simulation and experimentation that the estimated value of time delay given by generalized cross correlation method is more accurate than which is given by basic correlation method when the signal and noise ratio is stationary, thus the location result based on the time delay is more accurate.
