In quantitative analysis of seafloor imagery, it is common to model the collection of individual pixel intensities scattered by the seafloor as a random variable with a given statistical distribution. There is a considerable literature on…
Passive sonar signals contain complex characteristics often arising from environmental noise, vessel machinery, and propagation effects. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) perform well on passive sonar classification tasks, they can…
