In this paper, we propose a modification of the standard Equivalent Source Method (ESM) for Near-Field Acoustic Holography (NAH). As in EMS, we aim at modeling the acoustic pressure radiated from a vibrating object, and its surface velocity, as the joint effect of a set of equivalent sources located within or dose to the object itself. The estimation of the equivalent source strengths (weigths) comes from the solution of a highly ill-conditioned problem. Rather than solving this problem in the least-squares sense, we exploit the 3D model of the vibrating object, along with a rough estimate of its physical parameters, to restrict the space of the solutions. More specifically, we make use of Finite Element Analysis for populating a compressed dictionary of possible equivalent source weights. NAH is then approached by seeking a sparse linear combination of the entries of the dictionary. Experiments carried on a public database prove the effectiveness of the proposed technique, especially when the number of available microphones is limited, and in the presence of a significant level of measurement noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
