Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Many methods for distance estimation, such as the ultrasonic pulse-echo method, involve the estimation of a time-of-flight (TOF). In this paper, a signal model is developed that, apart from the TOF, accounts for an unknown, linear frequency dependent distortion as well as for additive noise. We derive a TOF estimator for this model based on the criteria of maximum likelihood. The resulting receiver can be seen as an extension or generalization of the well known cross-correlation, or "matched filter", estimator described, e.g., by Nilsson. The novel receiver is found to be more robust against unknown pulse shape distortion than the cross-correlation estimator, giving less biased TOF estimates. Also, bias versus noise sensitivity can be controlled by proper model order selection

Modelling of waveform deformation and time-of-flight estimation, with application to the ultrasonic pulse-echo method

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper we address the problem of estimating the time-of-flight of ultrasonic pulse-echo signals. The shape of the received waveform is modelled by a linear combination of bass signals. A method for obtaining these base signals Is presented. The method presumes that the excitation signal is narrowbanded in the frequency domain
