Source localization in the presence of depth-varying sound speed: A test case for sperm whales
Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are the largest of the toothed whales, amongst the deepest divers and are distributed worldwide. They are the focus of intensive biological research for distribution analysis, behavioral studies and, more recently, for language processing through Project CETI. Of particular interest for the latter is the study of their mobility patterns and distribution ranges, which requires knowledge of their location. In this paper, we offer a passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) approach for the localization of Sperm whales through arrays of receivers deployed from surface moorings. Our scheme performs adaptive beamforming for localization, and takes into account the varying sound speed in water and the whale's mobility. A series of stability tests increase the accuracy of positioning. Numerical results investigate the effect of system parameters, varying sound speed, number of moorings and number of receiving elements. Results from real sea experiments replaying sperm whale vocalizations in deep water across the Dominica Island demonstrate the practicality of our approach and its robustness for varying signal to noise ratios and range. To ensure reproducibility, we provide our implementation code.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
