An Improved Underwater Electric Field-Based Target Localization Combining Subspace Scanning Algorithm And Meta-EP PSO Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an improved three-dimensional underwater electric field-based target localization method. This method combines the subspace scanning algorithm and the meta evolutionary programming (meta-EP) particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The subspace scanning algorithm is applied as the evaluation function of the electric field-based underwater target locating problem. The meta-EP PSO method is used to select M elite particles by the q-tournament selection method, which could effectively reduce the computational complexity of the three-dimensional underwater target localization. Moreover, the proposed meta-EP PSO optimization algorithm can avoid subspace scanning trapping into local minima. We also analyze the positioning performance of the uniform circular and cross-shaped electrodes arrays by using the subspace scanning algorithm combined with meta−EP PSO. According to the simulation, the calculation amount of the proposed algorithm is greatly reduced. Moreover, the positioning accuracy is effectively improved without changing the positioning accuracy and search speed.
