Use of Marine Mammal Vocalizations for Tracking 3-D and Geophysical Inversions.

摘要

Recordings of marine mammal vocalizations collected by large aperture hydrophone arrays in Summer, 1996, will be used to determine anatomical and behavioural information on the vocalizing animal. Recently developed advanced signal processing techniques in the fields of human speech processing and underwater acoustics will be modified and applied for this purpose. This information provides valuable input into studies of the effects of manmade sounds on marine mammals and on the use of underwater acoustic data in marine mammal census surveys.
