    The proposed paper introduces a novel method for range estimation of acoustic sources, both cetaceans and industrial sources, in deep sea environments using supervised learning with neural networks in the contex of a single ...
  • OBSEA, a marine sensor testing site for metrology 

    Carandell Widmer, Matias; Garcia Benadí, Albert; Río Fernandez, Joaquín del (2017)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Marine sensors needs to be tested in real and controlled environments in order to assure, both, proper functionality of the sensor and good enough measurements. Most of the times is not enough testing on the lab, field ...
