Physeter catodon localization by sparse coding
This paper presents a spermwhale' localization architecture using jointly a
bag-of-features (BoF) approach and machine learning framework. BoF methods are
known, especially in computer vision, to produce from a collection of local
features a global representation invariant to principal signal transformations.
Our idea is to regress supervisely from these local features two rough
estimates of the distance and azimuth thanks to some datasets where both
acoustic events and ground-truth position are now available. Furthermore, these
estimates can feed a particle filter system in order to obtain a precise
spermwhale' position even in mono-hydrophone configuration. Anti-collision
system and whale watching are considered applications of this work.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, workshop ICML4B in ICML 2013 conferenc
