研究成果
The proposed low-complexity 3-D underwater imaging system, combining an optimized sparse array and efficient beamforming, demonstrated satisfactory imaging quality in lake and sea trials. The system achieved significant reductions in hardware cost and computational load, making it suitable for real-time underwater applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on narrowband signals and may not fully address the challenges of wideband imaging systems. The computational savings are more significant for sparse arrays, and the system's performance in highly turbid environments was not extensively tested.
