Development of an interim passive ocean acoustic waveguide remote sensing system for instantaneous continental-shelf scale marine mammal monitoring, localization and species classi

该项目将展示利用被动式海洋声波波导遥感系统近真实的实时提供大面积海洋哺乳动物监测、定位和物种分类的能力。被动式海洋声波波导遥感系统将结合联合收割机和一个综合处理和分析软件包，前者由OCE磁共振成像基金资助，后者提供探测、定位、跟踪、特征提取和物种分类等功能，后者将以接近真实的时间绘制到该区域的地理地图上。该系统有可能成为一个有用的业务MM监测系统在现场实验中使用。

This project will provide a demonstration of the capability to provide wide-area marine mammal (MM) monitoring, localization and species classification in near real time using the passive ocean acoustic waveguide remote sensing (POAWRS) system. The passive ocean acoustic waveguide remote sensing (POAWRS) system will combine the Lightweight Thinline Acoustic Receiver (LTAR) array system, funded with OCE MRI funding, and an integrated processing and analysis software package that provides detection, localization, tracking, feature extraction and species classification of MMs charted onto a geographic map of the region in near real time. This system has the potential to be a useful operational MM monitoring system used during field experiments.
