Nowadays, several infrastructure-based low-frequency acoustical sensor networks are employed in different applications to monitor the activity of diverse natural and man-made phenomena, such as avalanches, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, severe storms, super-sonic aircraft flights, etc. Two signal detection methods are usually implemented in these networks for the purpose of event occurrence i...
متن کاملAdaptive Real-Time Imaging Synthesis Telescopes
The digital revolution is transforming astronomy from a data-starved to a data-submerged science. Instruments such as the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will measure their accumulated data in petabytes. The capacity to produce enormous volumes of data must be matched with the computing power to process that...
