Optimizing hydrographic operations for bathymetric measurements using multibeam echosounders

Detailed information about the sea and river bed is of high importance for a large number of applications, such as marine geology, coastal engineering, safe navigation and offshore construction. Acoustic remote sensing techniques have become extremely attractive for obtaining bathymetry measurements and for mapping the sediment properties, due...

Underwater Source Localization Using TDOA and FDOA Measurements with Unknown Propagation Speed and Sensor Parameter Errors

Underwater source localization problems are complicated and challenging: a) the sound propagation speed is often unknown and the unpredictable ocean current might lead to the uncertainties of sensor parameters (i.e. position and velocity); b) the underwater acoustic signal travels much slower than the radio one in terrestrial environments,...
