• Resumen

  • Near-field acoustical holography (NAH) based on equivalent source method (ESM) is an efficient technique for sound source identification. Conventional ESM with Tikhonov regularization (TRESM), ESM based on CVX MATLAB toolbox (CVX) and wideband acoustic holography (WBH) are commonly used methods for calculating equivalent source strengths. However, all of them have their respective limitations. To address some of these, an alternating iterative algorithm for sound source identification based on equivalent source method (AIESM) is proposed in this article, which is a combination of alternating direction method and a non-monotone line search technique. The method makes use of sparse regularization under the principle of compressive sensing (CS) to calculate equivalent source strengths. Moreover, inspired by the idea of functional beamforming (FB), AIESM with order n can yield an improved dynamic range when detecting the source location. Numerical simulations are carried out at different frequencies, and the results suggest that the computational efficiency of the proposed method is close to that of TRESM. In addition, AIESM has a better reconstruction accuracy than TRESM and WBH in a relatively wide frequency range. Compared with ESM based on CVX, AIESM is slightly better in reconstruction accuracy and has a higher computational efficiency. Meanwhile, AIESM with order n can provide more accurate source position and better resolution. The validity and practicality of the proposed method are further supported by experimental results.
