Automatic Baleen Whale Detection and 2D Localization Using a Network of Unsynchronized Passive Acoustic Sensors
Published 2024“…The signals of interest here are the dispersive low-frequency impulsive gunshot vocalizations of North Pacific and North Atlantic right whales (NPRWs, NARWs). In shallow-water channels, the time-frequency representation of the received signal is strongly dependent on source-receiver range, making these impulses ideal candidates for range-based localization. …”
