Heterogeneous information fusion for multitarget tracking using the sum-product algorithm
(CMRE, 2019/06)The sum-product algorithm (SPA) was recently shown to provide a scalable methodology for multitarget tracking (MTT) using multiple sensors. Here, we focus on another advantage of the SPA frame-work, namely, its capacity ... -
Increasing the operational safety of autonomous underwater vehicles using the JANUS communication standard
(CMRE, 2019/05)Increasing the operational safety of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is necessary to fully explore their potential. Currently, AUV operations are limited by several constrains including the need to guarantee no ... -
Camelot - localization beacon system
(CMRE, 2019-05)C2 Advanced Multi-Domain Environment And Live Observation Technologies (CAMELOT) is a H2020 project intended to develop and demonstrate different advanced command and control service modules for multiple platform domains ... -
Weather-routing system based on METOC navigation risk assessment
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents a novel weather-routing system based on a multi-criteria setup. The set of 3 conflicting criteria is: travel time, ship navigation added resistance (caused by wind and waves), and navigation risk/safety. ... -
Multi-criteria weather routing optimization based on ship navigation resistance, risk and travel time
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents the analysis of the weather routing scenario in a multi-criteria setup. The set of 3 conflicting criteria is: added navigation resistance (caused by wind and waves), navigation risk and travel time. To ... -
Incoherent sub-band averaging for improved target detection and Doppler estimation in linearly frequency modulated continuous active sonar
(CMRE, 2019/05)Linear frequency modulated (LFM) continuous active sonar (CAS) waveforms show promise for use in target tracking given that waveforms can be split into sub-waveforms (sub-bands), thereby increasing the target refresh rate. ... -
Online estimation of unknown parameters in multisensor-multitarget tracking: a belief propagation approach
(CMRE, 2019/05)We propose a Bayesian multisensor-multitarget tracking framework, which adapts to randomly changing conditions by continually estimating unknown model parameters along with the target states. The time-evolution of the model ... -
Belief propagation based AIS/radar data fusion for multi-target tracking
(CMRE, 2019/05)A data fusion technique aiming at combining observations from two classes of sensors is proposed. The first class consists of sensors that produce periodic noisy observations of the targets; moreover, they may also miss ... -
Hybrid Bernoulli filtering for detection and tracking of anomalous path deviations
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents a solution to the problem of sequential joint anomaly detection and tracking of a target subject to switching unknown path deviations. Based on a dynamic model described by Ornstein- Uhlenbeck (OU) ... -
Doppler passive fathometry
(CMRE, 2019/05)Passive fathometry is a technique whereby broadband ambient ocean noise received on an array of hydrophones is averaged and cross-correlated to produce a sub-bottom profile [Siderius, Harrison, and Porter (2006). J. Acoust. ... -
The ocean noise coherence matrix and its rank
(CMRE, 2019/05)An expression for the cross-spectral density matrix of ocean noise naturally separates into a Toeplitz part and a Hankel part [Harrison (2017). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 141, 2812?2820]. The Toeplitz part is shown to be substantially ... -
Sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamformer for port-starboard rejection in triplet sonar arrays
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper addresses the problem of Port-Starboard (PS) beamforming for low-frequency active sonar (LFAS) with a triplet receiver array. The paper presents a new algorithm for sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamforming with ... -
Collaborative hybrid ARQ for CDMA-based reliable underwater acoustic communications
(CMRE, 2019/05)Achieving high throughput and reliability in underwater acoustic networks is a challenging task due to the bandwidth-limited and unpredictable nature of the channel. In a multi-node structure, such as in the Internet of ... -
A modem design for underwater acoustic networking in the High North
(CMRE, 2019/05)We design a software modem for long range underwater acoustic communications in ice-covered oceans. The modem is equipped with three coded modulation schemes achieving 1.8, 21.4 and 96.2 bps, respectively. In addition, we ... -
