“…The Lamb wave-based TR-MUSIC algorithm is introduced into the application of metal plate damage detection [30]. TR-MUSIC and phase-coherent form (PC-MUSIC) are explored in the nondestructive testing imaging of extended target machined in solids [31,32]. A novel imaging method called the cascaded TR-MUSIC is proposed to precisely locate multiple harmful radiated passive intermodulation sources [33].…”

Predicting sound sources in reverberant environments is a challenging task because reverberation causes reflection and scattering of sound waves, making it difficult to accurately determine the position of the sound source. Due to the characteristics of overcoming multipath effects and adaptive focusing of the time reversal technology, this paper focuses on the application of the time reversal operator decomposition method for sound source localization in reverberant environments and proposes the image-source time reversal multiple signals classification (ISTR-MUSIC) method. Firstly, the time reversal operator is derived, followed by the proposal of a subspace method to achieve sound source localization. Meanwhile, the use of the image-source method is proposed to calculate and construct the transfer matrix. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations and real-data experiments were performed. In the simulation experiments, the performance of the proposed method under different array element numbers, signal-to-noise ratios, reverberation times, frequencies, and numbers of sound sources were studied and analyzed. A comparison was also made with the traditional time reversal method and the MUSIC algorithm. The experiment was conducted in a reverberation chamber. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has good localization performance and robustness in reverberant environments.
