Invited Lecture

Fourier noted in his book on Théorie analytique de la chaleur that while the ultimate causes for the surrounding world are hidden to us, all natural processes follow simple and unchangeable laws that may be discovered through observations. While Fourier was interested in the understanding of a physical phenomenon (heat), it seems appropriate to consider also complex biological processes as a...

23. 3D multiple whale tracking

Invited Lecture

First we present our real-time multiple whale tracking on large or short hydrophones array. Our algorithm is based on the transitivity of the Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA) computed from correlation of each couple of hydrophones [Glotin et al. 2008, 2009, patent USA,EU]. It results a high precision track without false alarm (online demonstrations...

24. Tracking Algorithms in Marine Mammal Acoustics

Paul White (Southampton Univ., UK)

Invited Lecture

The problems associated with detecting, classifying and localising marine mammals using acoustic methods have been widely studied. These represent challenging tasks when applied to individual animals and become even more burdensome when groups are encountered, as is frequently the case in practice. Here we shall consider an aspect of such acoustic processing systems that is the focus of less...
