Abstract: An automated, passive algorithm for detecting and localizing small boats using two hydrophones mounted on the seabed is outlined. This extends previous work by Gebbie et al. [(2013). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 134, EL77 − EL83] in which a similar two-hydrophone approach is used to produce an ambiguity surface of likely target locations leveraging multipath analysis and knowledge of the local bathymetry. The work presented here improves upon the prior approach using particle filtering to automate detection and localization processing. A detailed analysis has also been conducted to determine the conditions and limits under which the improved approach can be expected to yield accurate range and unambiguous bearing information. Experimental results in 12 m of water allow for a comparison of different separation distances between hydrophones, and the Bayesian Cramer-Rao lower bound is used to extrapolate the performance expected in 120 m water. This work demonstrates the conditions under which a low cost, passive, sparse array of hydrophones can provide a meaningful small boat detection and localization capability.

Particle filter for multipath time delay tracking from correlation functions in deep water.
TL;DR: A particle filtering-based approach for tracking multipath time delays from correlation function, such as autocorrelation, cross-correlation, and matched-filter output, with prominent feature of tracking the signal-related peaks instead of correlation pulses adopted in conventional approaches.

The generalized correlation method for estimation of time delay
TL;DR: In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimator is developed for determining time delay between signals received at two spatially separated sensors in the presence of uncorrelated noise, where the role of the prefilters is to accentuate the signal passed to the correlator at frequencies for which the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is highest and suppress the noise power.

Particle filtering algorithms for tracking an acoustic source in a reverberant environment
TL;DR: A general framework for tracking an acoustic source using particle filters is formulated and four specific algorithms that fit within this framework are discussed, and results indicate that the proposed family of algorithms are able to accurately track a moving source in a moderately reverberant room.
