Converted measurements random matrix approach to extended target tracking using X-band marine radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Conventional tracking algorithms rely upon the hypothesis of one detection per target for each frame. However, very fine spatial resolution radars represent widespread systems that provide data for which this hypothesis ... -
Forward looking sonar mosaicing for mine countermeasures
(CMRE, 2019/06)Forward looking sonars (FLS) are nowadays popular for many different applications. In particular, they can be used for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) in the context of Mine Countermeasures. Currently, ATR techniques ... -
Dynamic underwater glider for environmental field estimation
(CMRE, 2019/06)A coordinated dynamic sensor network of autonomous underwater gliders to estimate three-dimensional time-varying environmental fields is proposed and tested. Integration with a network of surface relay nodes and asynchronous ... -
Real-time mosaicing of large scale areas with forward looking sonar
(CMRE, 2019/06)Mosaicing of large scale areas is an important application in the field of underwater computer vision. Although most of the works use optical cameras for that purpose, Forward Looking Sonars, also called acoustic cameras, ... -
Knowledge-based ship tracking applied to HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)In recent years, low-power high-frequency surface-wave radars have received significant attention thanks to their over-the-horizon coverage capability and the continuous-time operation mode. These radars have become effective ... -

Variable structure interacting multiple model algorithm for ship tracking using HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)These last decades spawned a great interest towards low-power High-Frequency (HF) Surface-Wave (SW) radars for ocean remote sensing. By virtue of their over-the-horizon coverage capability and continuous time mode of ... -
On the relationship between SAS image resolution and target-detection performance
(CMRE, 2019/06)The relationship between synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) image resolution and target-detection performance is quantified. It is first demonstrated how a lower-resolution SAS system can be simulated in a principled manner ... -
Glider-based seabed characterization using natural-made ambient noise
(CMRE, 2019/06)Seabed characteristics (geoacoustic properties and scattering strength) are critical parameters for sonar performance predictions. However, this bottom information is considered very difficult and expensive to achieve in ... -
