High-Precision Underwater Acoustical Localization of the Black Box Based on an Improved TDOA Algorithm

Underwater acoustic localization (UWAL) of the black box is a significant technique for transportation safety. The traditional UWAL algorithm based on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) suffers from large localization error due to the signal period drift in the scenario of high pressure and low temperature under sea. To solve this problem, an improved TDOA algorithm is proposed in this letter. ...
