Narrowband passive sonar tracking [PDF]

, 2010
Passive sonar sensors are the main source of information for a submerged submarine. Modern sonar systems like ISUS 90 offer a number of acoustic antennas and combined signal processing for broadband and narrowband detection and analysis of target noise ...

Adaptive Intrawell Matched Stochastic Resonance with a Potential Constraint Aided Line Enhancer for Passive Sonars

Sensors, 2020
Remote passive sonar detection and classification are challenging problems that require the user to extract signatures under low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio conditions.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Pitch shifting techniques for high-frequency passive sonar audio [PDF]

, 2017
Listening to passive sonar signals is a vital tool for sonar operators to classify underwater sound sources. While many passive sonar systems operate in the human auditory range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) there are a considerable number of high-frequency systems ...

Scalable low‐cost seabed landers: the missing link for sustained, integrated, long‐term observations in dynamic shallow seas

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seabed landers, when equipped with a range of biotic and abiotic sensors, offer a non‐invasive and cost‐effective solution for ecosystem‐scale monitoring of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in dynamic shallow seas.

A Decision Support System to Ease Operator Overload in Multibeam Passive Sonar [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2019
Creating human-informative signal processing systems for the underwater acoustic environment that do not generate operator cognitive saturation and overload is a major challenge. To alleviate cognitive operator overload, we present a visual analytics methodology in which multiple beam-formed sonar returns are mapped to an optimized 2-D visual ...

WAH‐i: Optimising microphone array geometry for customised localisation accuracy

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate spatial localisation of free‐flying echolocating bats is foundational for resolving fine‐scale flight and echolocation behaviour, prey interception and spatial decision‐making in natural environments. Acoustic localisation using microphone arrays is widely employed for this purpose, yet array geometries in field studies are typically ...

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Feature Extraction of Ship-Radiated Noise Based on Intrinsic Time-Scale Decomposition and a Statistical Complexity Measure

Entropy, 2019
Extracting effective features from ship-radiated noise is an important way to improve the detection and recognition performance of passive sonar. Complexity features of ship-radiated noise have attracted increasing amounts of attention.

Early results and lessons learned from biomanipulation and chemical restoration of a eutrophic shallow lake

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...
