Comparative study on the applicability of regularization method in ship’s magnetic signature modeling based on monopole array

Abstract

In this paper, we first study the applicability and stability of the Tikhonov regularization method (TRM) and the truncated singular value decomposition method in ship’s magnetic signature inversion modeling. To further improve the noise immunity and robustness of the model, we apply an iterative regularization algorithm based on the conjugate gradient least squares (CGLS) method. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed algorithm is more applicable and can obtain better results of ship’s magnetic field extrapolation under different noise backgrounds. In the ship model experiment, the errors of the TRM and CGLS method for magnetic signature extrapolation are, respectively, 4.77% and 3.67%, showing that the proposed algorithm can improve the inversion effect of the ship model magnetic field.
