Definitions
- the present invention relates to the passive listening sonar technique and relates more particularly to the processing and interactive presentation of multidimensional data provided by passive listening sonars in order to optimize the efficiency of the human-machine system. consisting of the sonar and its operator.
- the invention can also be used in other fields where the need for interactive exploitation of multidimensional data is felt, for example in radar imagery, in geophysics, in medicine, in remote sensing or others.
- the data provided by a passive sonar is part of a five-dimensional hypervoiume:
- azimuth-time format which presents the azimuthal scrolling of the noise detectors detected thanks to spatial processing.
- frequencies executed in the "upstream” part of the sonar receiver with coding of the signal / noise ratio by the brightness.
- the operator does not have spatial information - format called "lofagram, or lofar", which presents in a sector of the horizon corresponding to a channel formed by spatial processing, the frequency information as a function of time with coding of the signal / noise ratio by the brightness.
- the operator does not have the information scrolling to cover the 360 * of azimuth, or juxtaposes as many elementary "lofar" images as of channels, which requires a large screen surface materialized by the use of at least two screens and thereby causes a great difficulty of operation, - format called "instant azimuth-frequency” which presents frequency information as a function of azimuth for the present moment or after a fixed temporal integration , with signal-to-noise coding by brightness.
- the operator does not have the time information.
- the complete presentation of the information delivered by the sonar therefore requires the juxtaposition of elementary three-dimensional images (x, y and brightness) corresponding of the cuts in the volume of the data, which requires large areas of presentation.

It creates a table which contains the frequencies of distribution of the gray levels on the image; the frequency is relative to the number of pixels processed (1048576 in the case 1K * 1K).

- Multiprogramming is carried out from the host processor 2 (FIG. 1).
- the system can accommodate four processes launched in parallel which share the following independent internal resources:
- Each gray level transfer table of each memory channel (one process can generate channel 1 and another can generate the ITT of channel 1).
- the physical system can be divided, at a given time, into four logical systems made up of a combination of the preceding resources.
- the physical interface at a low software level, is compatible with the internal bus of the workstation.
- the instructions sent to the system can be divided into three categories: - writing instructions where - the host processor follows the writings in system registers,
- An image in "bearing or azimuth-time” format with global spectral information provides the operator with raw information, incorporating first level spectral information which allows by interactive manipulation:
- the system calculates and displays the histogram in "annex graph":
- the deposit filter format or "circulating lofar” is a dynamic version of a classic frequency-time format that can be juxtaposed in an interactive and instantaneous manner, unlike the lofars of the channels reserved for classification, like the panoramic eve of the paragraph relative to the images of the format "bearing or azimuth-time.
- the width of the zone can be reduced until the resolution of the reservoir-time image, thus allowing the operator to discriminate the signatures of two neighboring noise generators.
- the interactive determination is carried out as follows: - the operator varies the limits of the relevant bearing range by means of the ball,
- - shade monochrome, preferably green.
- the "circulating lofar” is juxtaposed with the image bearing (azimuth) -time, with parallel “time” axes so as to allow the temporal correlation between the two images.
- Spectral filters or "threat filters” are obtained by applying spectral filtering to the reservoir-time image, in a template fixed interactively by the operator; it composes its filter (s) continuously or discreetly, within the limits of the combinations allowed by the quantization of frequencies.
- This filtering can very quickly reveal the possible presence of a noise generator whose acoustic radiation corresponds to the size of the filter, changes in the acoustic situation of noise makers already detected, or allow the detection of noise makers not detected by other methods.
- the continuous interactive construction of the filter is ensured by means of the ball:
- a front-back movement determines the width of the template.
- the discrete interactive construction of the filter is carried out by means of the keyboard or any other input means.
- the operator enters discrete frequency values accompanied by an appropriate df, which are said to characterize the threat.
- the system instantly recomposes the bearing-time image while viewing only the quadruplets whose frequency is inside the template.
- these quadruplets are displayed with a hue contrasting with that of the rest of the image which in this case must be monochrome (green).
- An image in frequency-azimuth (or azimuth) format with history constitutes an evolution of the frequency-azimuth "IFA" snapshot. It provides the operator with a global spectral vision, over the entire horizon and over a temporal range that can be interactively adjusted in date and duration. This range may or may not contain the last recurrence, i.e. the frequency-azimuth snapshot.
- This image gives the bearing (the azimuth) on the abscissa, with the same scales as those of the image in bearing or azimuth-time format. She gives :
- Interactive manipulations allow the operator to adjust the extent of the time range displayed by means of the ball as follows:
- the last recurrence is displayed with a particular graphic. Graphic features common to the different images.
- the method implemented on the computer system described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 is based on the grayscale coding of parameters other than the signal amplitudes.
- an image is characterized by graphic parameters: X coordinate, Y coordinate and "COLOR".
- the problem consists in associating in a coherent way the physical parameters characteristic of the data to be represented, with the graphic parameters.
- a conventional standby image consists of the representation as a function of time T and of the azimuth ⁇ of the S / B ratios denoted AMP, associated with a range of frequencies F. O 99/18451
- AMP as a function of T and ⁇ , AMP being the largest value found for a given T and ⁇ .
- the images A and F are therefore linearly combined.
- the standby image formed an operator can examine it by manipulating the gray levels associated with a range of frequencies. This has the effect of varying the brightness of the associated color according to linear or exponential logarithmic laws.
- standby images such as images in “time-field” format with global spectral information.
- the implementation of one invention also calls for the use of logical operators.
- the first solution has the defect of not allowing to use the maximum dynamic of the gray levels of 256.
- a logical "AND" is then performed between the images A and Fi to obtain an image Ri: standby image given by the frequency range i.
- the images obtained can be explored interactively by playing on the gray level.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the process of implanting spectral filters or filters of enace.
- Image S appears in a second area of the screen.
- the development of the deposit filter or "circulating lofar" is shown in Figure 5.
- a panoramic LOFAR image 0-180 * is formed on a memory channel 1. This image A appears in the first area of the monitor screen.
- the gray level gives the S / N ratio:
- a LOFAR source image on 0-180 * is formed on a memory channel 2
- This image S appears in a second area of the screen.
- the gray level indicates the TETA value:
- a frequency-bearing image is produced over a memory channel 1 over the entire time range.
- the operator chooses a time filter on transfer function, in an interval T1, T2 of application and a logical AND operation between images allows the elaboration in a memory channel 3 of the frequency-deposit image filtered over the interval time T1-T2 and appearing in a third area of the screen.
- FIG. 7 represents the development of an amplitude-frequency representation on "zone of interest in time-deposit".
- the images A and S are the same as those developed for the spectral filters or "threat filters" in FIG. 4.
- an area of interest is delimited by a rectangle and a histogram is established on 1 ' image of the sources in the area of interest. This histogram indicates the signature of the sources in the area of interest.
