Article Abstract

Acousto-optic tomography (AOT), a technology that reconstructs two- or three-dimensional sound fields from optically measured sound-field projections, has been widely studied as an efficient and high-spatial-resolution method for sound field observations. Recently, physical-model-based approaches have made significant progress, with higher accuracy and fewer sampling requirements than conventional methods. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to reconstruct three-dimensional outgoing sound waves in the volume surrounding a sound source due to constraints on existing methods both in mathematical formulation and measurement systems. In this paper, we propose spherical harmonic-domain AOT, a three-dimensional reconstruction of sound fields by combining instantaneous sound-field imaging using parallel phase-shifting interferometry with a physics-based reconstruction using spherical wave function expansions. We formulated two problems: one for the sound field radiated by a transducer and the other for the sound field scattered by an object. Through experiments, we demonstrated the successful reconstruction of the two types of three-dimensional sound fields: one radiated from two ultrasonic transducers and the other scattered by an ellipsoid.

A method is presented for determining the significant parameters, maximum wind speed and radius of maximum wind speed, of the surface winds associated with a hurricane. The method is based on Bayesian inversion, using Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. Underwater acoustic measurements are used to estimate parameters in the axisymmetric Holland model for hurricane surface winds.

Seismic noise separation and suppression is an important topic in seismic signal processing to improve the quality of seismic data recorded at monitoring stations. We propose a novel seismic random noise suppression method based on enhanced variational mode decomposition (VMD) with grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, which applies the envelope entropy to evaluate the wolf individual fitness, determine the grey wolf hierarchy, and obtain the optimized key elements K and α in VMD. Then, the decomposed effective intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are extracted to separate and suppress random noises.

This paper presents a semi-analytical method, referred to as the linear-velocity-profile fast field program (LFFP), for predicting two-dimensional sound fields in ambient parallel mean flows. The proposed method incorporates the linear velocity layering method into the fundamental framework of fast field program (FFP) to achieve reduced computational costs and enhanced precision, particularly under high-velocity gradient conditions. The accuracy of LFFP is validated through a two-dimensional jet case by comparison with the linearized Euler equation in frequency-domain.

This study establishes a quantitative framework using field observations and normal mode theory to reveal wind field control mechanisms over ambient noise vertical directionality in shallow water. Acoustic data from a vertical line array in the northern South China Sea, combined with sound speed profiles, seabed properties, and multi-source wind fields (ERA5 reanalysis/Weibull-distributed synthetics), demonstrate: (1) A 20-km spatial noise-energy threshold (>90% energy contribution), challenging conventional near-field assumptions (1-2 km); (2) frequency-dependent distribution: low-frequency (50-200 Hz) directionality depends on near-field sources, while high-frequency (>400 Hz) energy shifts seaward due to modal cutoff variations; (3) model validation shows 0.96 correlation at 100 Hz/100 km (stratified medium accuracy), but seabed interface waves induce 3.

While blink analysis was traditionally conducted within vision research, recent studies suggest that blinks might reflect a more general cognitive strategy for resource allocation, including with auditory tasks, but its use within the fields of Audiology or Psychoacoustics remains scarce and its interpretation largely speculative. It is hypothesized that as listening conditions become more difficult, the number of blinks would decrease, especially during stimulus presentation, because it reflects a window of alertness. In experiment 1, 21 participants were presented with 80 sentences at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs): 0,  + 7,  + 14 dB and in quiet, in a sound-proof room with gaze and luminance controlled (75 lux).
