Contact localization and motion analysis in the ocean environment: A perspective

Abstract

This paper presents a perspective on contact localization and motion analysis (CLMA) in the ocean environment. Such well-studied cases as passive hearings-only contact motion analysis, multipath ranging, and localization/tracking via arrays are used to illustrate the concept. The performance of current CLMA systems is shown to depend on the type and characteristics of the basic measurements developed by their time delay estimators, the acoustic channels linking contact and observer, and the type and description of relative motion between contact and observer. General classes of CLMA schemes are presented. Complexity is shown to depend on the linearity/nonlinearity of their solution equations, the degree to which a contact is observable at each sample time, and the relative motion between contact and observer. Contributions to total system gain, biasing issues, and candidate solutions are discussed. Comprehensive references are provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
