Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In ambient noise imaging (ANI), each pixel of a target image is mapped by either monochrome or pseudo-color to represent its acoustic intensity in each direction. This intensity is obtained by measuring the target object’s reflecting or scattering wave, with ocean background noise serving as the sound source. In the case using an acoustic lens, a C-mode image is created by ANI system, where receivers are arranged on a focal plane and each pixel’s color corresponds to the intensity of each receiver output. There is no consideration for estimating a target range in this method, because it is impossible to measure a traveling time between a transducer and a target like an active imaging method. In this study, we applied a time reversal process to estimate a target range on ANI system using an acoustic lens. We calculated the scattering wave from a rigid target object in an acoustic noise field generated by a large number of point sources using the 2-D finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The scattering wave converged by the lens was then recorded on each receiver. Next, the time reversed wave of the scattering wave was re-radiated from each receiver position. It was suggested to estimate the target range because the maximum position of the re-radiated sound pressure field was close to the target position.
