Matched-field source localization with multiple small-aperture arrays
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper considers combining information from multiple small-aperture arrays in matched-field processing (MFP) for source localization. Assuming individual arrays are comprised of calibrated sensors which are synchronized in time, conventional MFP can be applied for each array and the resulting Bartlett processors summed over arrays. However, if the relative calibration and/or time synchronization is known between some or all arrays, more informative multiple-array processors can be derived by maximum-likelihood methods. For example, if the relative calibration between arrays is known, the observed amplitude variations between arrays provide additional information for source localization; if synchronization is known, phase variations provide localization information. Various multiple-array processors are derived and evaluated in terms of the probability of correct localization from Monte-Carlo analyses for a range of signal-to-noise ratios and number of frequencies for simulated shallow-water scenarios with vertical and horizontal arrays. Effects of environmental mismatch in seabed geoacoustic parameters and water depth are also considered. The analysis indicates that, dependent on array configurations, substantial improvements in source localization performance can be achieved when including relative amplitude and/or phase information in the multiple-array processor. The improvement is reduced by environmental mismatch; this degradation can be partially mitigated by including additional frequencies in the processing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
