Visualization Aids for Navy Sonar Systems and At-Sea Test Ranges

摘要

Today's sonar operator is overloaded with an extraordinary amount of processed acoustic sensor data to analyze. Technological advances in sensors, signal processing and computational power allow sonar operators to collect an overwhelming amount of data, generating highly cluttered displays. operators are burdened with the need for more training and experience to achieve the desired level of performance. The sonar system itself is traditionally designed to maximize signals in the presence of noise, while the operator must use training and experience of efficiently detect and classify objects of interest.
