Evolution: Fossil Ears and Underwater Sonar
نویسنده
چکیده
A key innovation in the history of whales was the evolution of a sonar system together with high-frequency hearing. Fossils of an archaic toothed whale's inner ear bones provide clues for a stepwise emergence of underwater echolocation ability.

Experimental Study on Adaptive Control of Underwater Robots
The control of underwater robots presents a number of unique and formidable challenges. Underwater robot dynamics are highly nonlinear, coupled, and timevarying, and subject to hydrodynamic uncertainties and external disturbances such as current. Unlike land mobile robots, underwater robots cannot use GPS (Global Positioning System). Most popular underwater positioning sensors are sonar-based, ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Advanced Sonar Sensor Model for Underwater Terrain Mapping based on Occupancy Grids
This paper presents the advanced sonar sensor model capable of building an underwater terrain map based on the Bayes filter in the manner of the occupancy grid. The proposed sonar sensor model basically considers the losses of received ultrasound intensity according to the underwater absorption and reflection on a terrain surface. The Bayes filter including the advanced sonar sensor model is ap...
متن کاملThe Search and Identification of Underwater Object by Sonar and Vision systems of Underwater Vehicle
In the paper the conception of identification of underwater like mines objects was presented basis on images of underwater area. Methods of preliminary processing of images acquired by underwater vehicle and a method of seeking chosen elements on these images and their identification at using the Hougha transform were described. Moreover the results of preliminary processing and the results of ...
متن کاملA Detailed Study of Sonar Tomographic Imaging
Sonar tomography is a technique to obtain a two-dimensional image of an underwater object using a sequence of one-dimensional images, or ‘projections’, of the object of interest. We discuss sonar tomography in a detailed manner and compare the performance of two important ‘back-projection algorithms’ commonly used in tomography. The two processing techniques are applied to the imaging of relati...
متن کاملSonar Target Classification with Sonar Fingerprint
To recognize underwater target precisely is always a hot potato to navies due to the complicated watery environment. It’s different from the aerial circumstance. There is much more interfere under the sea. Sonar is the most efficient way to detect underwater world at present time. In this paper, a geneticbased classifier system is designed which recognizes targets by sonar fingerprints. This me...
