ABSTRACT
Aiming at the shortcomings of the low efficiency optimization algorithm and the tendency to fall into the local optimal solution in the existing shallow sea geoacoustic parameters inversion research, a shallow sea geoacoustic parameters inversion method based on the Back Propagation (BP) neural network model is proposed. First, the theoretical prediction value of the shallow sea sound pressure field is obtained through the Fast Field Method (FFM). Then the mapping relationship between the predicted sound pressure field and the geoacoustic parameters value to be inverted is established according to the BP neural network model. Finally, the measured sound pressure field data is brought into the neural network to obtain the inversion results. The experimental results show that, compared with the classic simulated annealing (Simulated Annealing, SA) algorithm, the BP neural network model converts the data matching process of the optimization algorithm into the construction of a relational model, avoiding multiple matching optimization processes for the inversion results, and the inversion results can be output directly, accurately, and efficiently. Under the premise of setting the same accuracy, the calculation time of the BP neural network model for the inversion result is shortened, and the number of iterations is reduced to 5% of the SA algorithm.
