Under such constraint, the proposed MFP-CPC algorithm not only has the same merit of a high resolution as AMFP but also improves the robustness. To evaluate the algorithm, the simulated and experimental data in an uncertain shallow ocean environment is used. From the results, MFP-CPC is robust to the moored source, as well as the moving source. In addition, the localization and tracking performances of using the proposed algorithm are consistent with the trajectory of the moving source.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20051374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T13:06:23Z","timestamp":1583240783000},"page":"1374","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Matched Field Processing Based on Bayesian Estimation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Guolei","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}]},{"given":"Yingmin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"420","article-title":"A review on information accessing systems based on fuzzy linguistic modeling","volume":"3","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int.
