Time-of-flight estimation based on covariance models

Abstract: We address the problem of estimating the time-of-flight (ToF) of a waveform that is disturbed heavily by additional reflections from nearby objects. These additional reflections cause interference patterns that are difficult to predict. The introduction of a model for the reflection in terms of a non-stationary auto-covariance function leads to a new estimator for the ToF of an acoustic tone burst. This estimator is a generalization of the well known matched filter. In many practical circumstances, for instanc… Show more

“…The third order in figure 9 represents that the S( f ) phase is three multiples of φ 0 ( f ). According to equation (7), the propagation distance obtained equals the product of order and the initial distance from the actuator to sensor. Therefore the propagation distance of S0 mode wave-packet from the actuator to the second acquisition point is estimated as 1800 mm, which agrees completely with the actual location of Position 2.…”

“…However it requires the prior knowledge of onset time of echoes and wave mode. The statistical method [7,8] is presented for travel time estimation based on covariance models. Alternatively, travel time can be extracted deterministically by methods such as magnitude thresholding [9], matched filter [10], envelop moment [11], Hilbert-Huang transform [12,13], short time Fourier transform [14], wavelet transform [15][16][17][18], etc.…”

“…Only the first wavepackets are considered during the path damage index calculation, hence the ToA has to be estimated. There are multiple ways to estimate the ToA of guided waves such as cross-correlation [32], dispersion compensation [33,34] and matching pursuit [35] methods but the additional reflections and mode conversion created by the repair steps makes these techniques inadequate and not accurate. For the MIS algorithm, the Rayleigh Maximum Likelihood Estimate(RMLE) [36] has been chosen for its robustness.…”
