Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

A Broadband Beamformer Suitable for UUV to Detect the Tones Radiated from Marine Vessels

Sensors, 2018
In this paper, the issue that the underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) with a sonar array achieves the passive detection of vessel targets by detecting the tones radiated from the targets is considered.

A theoretical analysis of a piezoelectric ultrasound device with an active matching layer [PDF]

, 2007
This paper investigates the use of magnetically active materials in the matching layer of a piezoelectric transducer. This then allows the performance of the device to be dynamically altered by applying an external field.

Impact of data assimilation on Arctic sea‐ice thickness variability and its coupling with atmospheric forcing

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document for the first time how the assimilation of CS2SMOS observations improves the model representation of Arctic sea‐ice thickness (SIT) and its variability: biases are reduced (top row), while excessive variability in the Beaufort Sea and lack of variability in the ice pack are both corrected (bottom row).

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Enhancing underwater target detection: Fusion of spatio‐temporal incompletely‐aligned AIS and sonar information via DTW and multi‐head attention mechanism

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation
In the field of underwater target detection, the passive sonar is an important means of long‐distance target detection. The sonar detection information typically includes both surface and underwater targets, whereas it is a great challenge on effectively
