Passive Localization of Multiple Sources Using Widely-Spaced Arrays with Application to Marine Mammals

Abstract

The goal of our research is to develop systems that use a widely spaced hydrophone array to localize and track multiple unknown sources, possibly in shallow-water environments, over long distances. The long-term goal is to contribute to the behavioral ecology of marine mammals by simultaneously tracking multiple vocalizing individuals in space and time.
