A New Denoising System for SONAR Images

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2009
The SONAR images are perturbed by speckle noise. The use of speckle reduction filters is necessary to optimize the image exploitation procedures. This paper presents a new denoising method in the wavelet domain, which tends to reduce the speckle, preserving the structural features and textural information of the scene. Shift-invariance associated with

The use of active sonar to study cetaceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cetacean species face serious challenges worldwide due to the increasing noise pollution brought to their environment by human activities such as seismic exploration. Regulation of these activities is vaguely defined and uncoordinated.

A risk function for behavioral disruption of Blainville’s beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) from mid-frequency active sonar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is increasing concern about the potential effects of noise pollution on marine life in the world’s oceans. For marine mammals, anthropogenic sounds may cause behavioral disruption, and this can be quantified using a risk function that relates sound

Efficient Guided Wave Modelling for Tomographic Corrosion Mapping via One-Way Wavefield Extrapolation

open access: yesSensors
Mapping corrosion depths along pipeline sections using guided-wave-based tomographic methods is a challenging task. Accurate defect sizing depends heavily on the precision of the forward model in guided wave tomography.

Robust Underwater Localization Using Acoustic Image Alignment for Autonomous Intervention Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Acoustic imaging sonar can be used as important navigation sensors for underwater intervention systems as they consistently provide spatial information about the surrounding environment, even in limited visibility conditions.

Advances in the Design and Functionality of a Compact Multi-Reflecting Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer. [PDF]

open access: yesRapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale High‐resolution mass spectrometry is routinely used for the analysis of complex samples in pharmaceutical, environmental, and omics related studies. Such applications demand instrumentation to be capable of combining sub‐ppm mass accuracy, high resolving power, rapid full m/z range acquisition over a wide dynamic range.

Exploitation of SAS interferometric phase statistics for coherent change detection

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 2023
Coherent change detection (CCD) takes advantage of the interferometric processing of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) images and enables the detection of small scale changes to the scene between image pairs.

Results from Developments in the Use of a Scanning Sonar to Support Diving Operations from a Rescue Ship

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
In recent years, widespread use of scanning sonars for acoustic imaging of the seabed surface can be observed. These types of sonars are mainly used with tripods or special booms, or are mounted onboard remotely operated or unmanned vehicles.
