AUEs in the news |
Today the Autonomous Underwater Explorer project was featured in an article in the Scripps News and also a press release from the National Science Foundation. From the press release: In an effort to plug gaps in knowledge about key ocean processes, the National Science... |

Two articles submitted to IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering This Week |
After a long summer of writing we submitted two papers representing over two years of work to IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering. The first article [1] presents a comprehensive analysis of several multiview fusion algorithms for classifying inidividual fish from broadband acoustic scatter. The... |

Compressive Sensing |
I'm starting work today on a paper related to reconstructing a two-dimensional image of a fish from many observations of broadband scattering. Thus far, we have employed conventional dense reconstruction methods such as the inverse Radon transform and assumed a known geometry. This has lead to... |
MAZOOPS
 |
The Multiple Angle ZOOplankton Sonar (MAZOOPS) is a multiview, multimodal acoustic and optical zooplankton sonar system. It combines multiple, broadband acoustic sensors with a high-resolution camera and narrowband optical illumination. The system aims to provide enhanced information of zooplankton... |
Autonomous Underwater Explorer
 |
Currently there are very few ways of obtaining both sufficient spatial and sufficient temporal resolution when collecting ocean data. Of these methods, none are cost effective. Moorings can give high temporal resolution, but do not give good spatial resolution. Satellite analysis... |
FAD Sonar
 |
One of the major ways that large pelagic fish are being caught these days is via the use of Fish Aggregating Devices or FADs. Animals are attracted to almost any floating object and they can then be scooped up by large fishing nets after they have aggregated around them. This efficient form of... |
FIDO-PHI
 |
Fido-Φ, or also known as Free-Fall, is a two-dimensional imaging fluorometer. It falls through the water column taking high-resolution images of the physical and planktonic microstructures that exists in our oceans. It's an autonomous, untethered instrument composed of a high sensitivity, low noise... |
Multiview Acoustics
 |
The multiple angle acoustics project is focused on applying sound scattering measurements made at multiple angles in order to estimate biophysical parameters of marine animals such as size, shape, orientation, and taxa. This is an emerging area of bioacoustics which departs from the more... |
