摘　　要：常梯度声线跟踪在计算波束脚印位置时精度高,但过程复杂、效率低,应用于深海测量时尤为严重,因此提出了一种基于常梯度声线跟踪模板的波束点插值计算方法。首先研究了基于常梯度声线跟踪模板进行波束点位插值计算的理论基础,发现通过模板差值可以确定波束足迹;然后提出了基于常梯度模板插值的声线跟踪算法,主要包括常梯度声线跟踪模板构建、过跟踪和欠跟踪算法、吃水影响及补偿模型,并在此基础上,将该算法应用于浅水、中水和深水声线跟踪计算。实验结果表明,该方法在确保跟踪精度的同时,可以大幅度提高计算效率。Multi-beam echo sounder(MBES) is the best equipment for underwater topographic survey nowadays.This kind of equipment can accurately determine the position of sounding point relative to transducer by measuring the round-trip time and angle of acoustic wave.However,due to the change of temperature and salinity in the water,the sound velocity varies with depth,which leads to the sound wave does not travel along a straight line in the water.The refraction of sound wave in the water conforms to Snell’s law.In order to accurately determine the sound propagation track and obtain the precise coordinate of sounding points,constant-gradient acoustic line tracking algorithm is most commonly used.however,constant-gradient ray-tracking algorithm often suffers from complicated processing and low efficiency when facing massive bathymetric data,especially in deep sea.Therefore,a sound ray tracking algorithm based on template-interpolation of constant-gradient sound velocity is proposed in this paper to improve the post-procesing efficiency of MBES bathymetric data.Firstly,the principle of our proposed algorithm is studied and the conclusion that the beam footprint can be determined by the template interpolation is verified.Then,the proposed algorithm in this paper,which mainly includes the construction of constant-gradient sound ray tracking template,over-tracking and under-tracking algorithms,draft influence and compensation models,is used in the experiments of shallow-water,middle-water and deep-water measurements.The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm can greatly improve computational efficiency while ensuring tracking accuracy.
