Architecture for the Real-Time Monitoring of Noise Pollution and Marine Mammal Activity
Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Marine Technology, Martech 2009 , vol 8, p.106, Nov 2009

Résumé:
Presented is the architecture for noise and marine mammal monitoring as it is currently implemented in ESONET through the LIDO (Listening to the Deep Ocean Environment) project. LIDO will detect in real-time changes in the background noise levels and register acoustic events (natural, biological and anthropogenic), and identify and track the sources when possible. As the system will be implemented in varying environments, a modular design is used that can be adapted easily, based on local requirements. While the system will most often run from a shore station, a more limited version is developed that can run autonomously with minimal power requirements.
