A Biomimetic Miniaturized Microphone Array for Sound Direction Finding Applications Based on a Phase-Enhanced Electrical Coupling Network

open access: yesSensors, 2019
In this research, we proposed a miniaturized two-element sensor array inspired by Ormia Ochracea for sound direction finding applications. In contrast to the convectional approach of using mechanical coupling structures for enlarging the intensity ...

A Real-Time Novelty Detector for a Mobile Robot

open access: yes, 2000
Recognising new or unusual features of an environment is an ability which is potentially very useful to a robot. This paper demonstrates an algorithm which achieves this task by learning an internal representation of `normality' from sonar scans taken as

Impact of noise on the behaviour and biochemical parameters of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus and Cherax destructor

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acoustic stimulus on the behavioural and biochemical responses of two species of crayfish, Cherax destructor and Cherax quadricarinatus. Our results showed that exposure to noise significantly affects in both species motility parameters, agonistic interactions and acoustic signals emitted. In terms of

Accuracy and Precision of Low-Cost Echosounder and Automated Data Processing Software for Habitat Mapping in a Large River

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
The development of consumer hydroacoustic systems continues to advance, enabling the use of low-cost methods for professional mapping purposes. Information describing habitat characteristics produced with a combination of low-cost commercial echosounder (

Obstacle detection algorithm of low computational cost for Guanay II AUV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Obstacle detection is one of the most important stages in the obstacle avoidance system. This work is focused to explain the operation of a designed and implemented for the overall detection of objects with low computational cost strategy.

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

The use of the sonar complex when examining the lower surface of the ice

open access: yesРоссийская Арктика, 2019
The article discusses the methodological issues of applying the sonar method to determine the shape of the lower surface of ice directly from the ice surface in the Arctic, as a complex solution for morphometric studies.

Collecting a corpus of Dutch SMS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we present the first freely available corpus of Dutch text messages containing data originating from the Netherlands and Flanders. This corpus has been collected in the framework of the SoNaR project and constitutes a viable part of this ...

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Direct Assessment of Juvenile Atlantic Bluefin Tuna: Integrating Sonar and Aerial Results in Support of Fishery-Incident Surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is a clear need for direct assessment approaches for Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, ABFT), including formulation of experimental designs and pilot surveys for abundance estimation.
