Survey of Marine Organisms Based on Passive Acoustic Technology

摘要

Passive acoustic technology (PAT) is an important tool to acquire the passive acoustic signals from marine organisms. In this paper, PAT fish detection is introduced at great length, including the relevant instruments, signal processing methods, and workflow. Focusing on the key tasks of PAT fish detection, the authors proposed a sparse decomposition algorithm that extracts coherent ratio of passive fish acoustic signal, and designed a feature extraction method for that signal based on speech imitation technology. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed sparse decomposition algorithm can detect fish acoustic signal accurately at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and the proposed feature extraction method can effectively extract fish acoustic signals from the marine background. The research results shed important new light on the protection and management of fishery resources in the seas and oceans.
