A Chorus of Whales: Evaluation of Sequential and Batch Approaches to Time-Series Tracking

Abstract

This paper applies target-tracking technology to a novel application: the processing of mammal vocalizations or clicks, with the goal of identifying the number of marine mammals in a surveillance region. This problem has direct application to marine mammal mitigation efforts in the context of active sonar operations.
