15: Exploring the Thermal Limits of Ir-based Automatic Whale Detection (etaw): Core Proposal and Options A & B

چکیده
Growing concerns that aquatic noise produced during naval exercises and offshore seismic surveys may be harmful to marine mammals, have led an increasing number of regulating agencies to request mitigation measures when issuing permits for such surveys in their nations’ EEZ. The most common measure is to implement a “marine mammal watch”, a team of observers that scans the ship’s environs for signs of presence of marine mammals to trigger a shutdown of the hydroacoustic source when marine mammals are entering a predefined exclusion zone.

Automatic detection of liver tumor motion by fluoroscopy images
Background: A method to track liver tumor motion signals from fluoroscopic images without any implanted gold fiducial markers was proposed in this study to overcome the adverse effects on precise tumor irradiation caused by respiratory movement. Materials and Methods: The method was based on the following idea: (i) Before treatment, a series of fluoroscopic images corresponding to different bre...
متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...

متن کاملAutomatic Round-the-Clock Detection of Whales for Mitigation from Underwater Noise Impacts
Loud hydroacoustic sources, such as naval mid-frequency sonars or airguns for marine geophysical prospecting, have been increasingly criticized for their possible negative effects on marine mammals and were implicated in several whale stranding events. Competent authorities now regularly request the implementation of mitigation measures, including the shut-down of acoustic sources when marine m...
