Similarity-Based Perceptual Feature Identification for Active Sonar Signal Classification

open access: closedThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
In many acoustic signal processing applications human listeners are able to outperform automated processing techniques, particularly in the identification and classification of acoustic events. This paper develops a framework for employing perceptual information from human listening experiments to improve automatic classification of active sonar ...

Environmentally tolerant waveguide-invariant target depth classification for active sonar.

open access: closedThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
Shallow-water environments produce active sonar returns with many target-like returns from bottom clutter. Scatterer depth classification methods which can discriminate bottom clutter from water column targets are thus critical for controlling false alarms. In recent work, the waveguide invariant (WI) property of shallow-water channels has been used to

Recent advances in pattern recognition and their potential application in active sonar classification

open access: closed[1991 Proceedings] IEEE Conference on Neural Networks for Ocean Engineering, 2002
Summary form only given as follows. Although there has been little progress in conventional statistical and syntactic pattern recognition, the reemerging activity in neural networks and in artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge-based systems has had great impact in sonar and other applications. This impact is noted in the context of active sonar signal

Active sonar classification using perceptual signal features from musical acoustics

open access: closedThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006
Because of the relatively low frequencies at which they operate, navy active sonars are often plagued by false-alarm returns resulting from geological structures. In the lexicon of sonar operators these false returns are referred to as geoclutter or simply clutter.

Statistical-based feature extraction and classification of active sonar data

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
Sonar target recognition is difficult due to the potential nonlinear overlap within an acoustic color response due to various backscatter and clutter within the ocean. This talk presents initial results from using a statistical model of feature vectors in conjunction with machine learning classifiers.

Active sonar classification using Bayesian decision theory

[1990] Proceedings. The Twenty-Second Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, 2002
Consideration is given to the performance analysis of optimal sonar classification. To perform active classification, a known waveform is transmitted into a medium and directed toward a region called the test volume. An array of N sensors is used to pick up the backscattered signal energy reflected from the M cells of the test volume, and the data are ...

Noncontact Wideband Sonar for Human Activity Detection and Classification

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2014
This paper suggests using a wideband sonar system to detect and classify human activity in indoor environment. The high bandwidth enables precise tracking of body parts, and its enhanced correlation properties can be used to dis- tinguish between human and nonhuman objects.

Classification of active sonar detections with class specific method

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007
The use of the Class Specific Method (CSM) [P. M. Baggenstoss, Trans. Sig. Proc. 47, 3428–3432 (1999)] is demonstrated with numerically simulated data. The two models of a cylindrical shell and a fish school are shown to generate sufficient statistics with appropriate assumptions. The common reference signal for the CSM is Gaussian white noise.

Aural classification of impulsive-source active sonar echoes

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006
The goal of this effort is to develop automatic target classification technology for active sonar systems by exploiting knowledge of signal processing methods and human auditory processing. Using impulsive-source active sonar data, formal listening experiments were conducted to determine if and how human subjects can discriminate between sonar target ...
