Abstract

The principle of echo-localization processing of human beings is quite similar with animals like bats and dolphins, which has been widely applied in sonar. Direction of Arrival (DOA) methods plays an important role in estimating the radar, sonar and many other echo-localization communication fields. Typical methods in resolving echo-localization problems including classical (Multiple Signal Classification) MUSIC, (Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Technique), ESPRIT and compressed sensing. The echo-localization methods and the resolving ambiguity methods via uniform array are systematically introduced in this paper. On this basis, the fast and accurate algorithms for human-being echo-localization in parameter (azimuth angle, elevation angle and range) estimation of signal are further introduced from time domain and frequency domain. The accuracy of the angle and distance estimation of the algorithm calculated by computer simulation experiment is over 99.9% and 97% respectively. The effectiveness of DOA method was verified according to MUSIC algorithm, which provides a rapid and accuracy information in echo-localization ability of human being.
