Passive remote sensing techniques have a meaningful and challenging role in addressing the measurement needs of several research and operational programs (defense purposes, environmental monitoring …). The need to rapidly respond to these new surveillance and security challenges requires advanced software architectures allowing easier cost-effective enhancements of existing software applications.
The workshop will be concerned by all passive systems (underwater, surface and near-surface systems) from signal interpretation to processing algorithms to system conception. Thus, the purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum to identify the long term role of passive remote sensing systems and the long term sensing technology advances required to enhance the performances of those passive systems deemed most promising for future and operational use.
Particular themes of the conference include, but are not restricted to:
· Processing algorithms (detection, identification, localization and Tracking),
· Marine mammals study,
· Non-cooperative Target Recognition; Computer-Aided Detection/Computer-Aided Classification,
· Tracking methods and physics-based tracking algorithm,
· Multi-sensor, Multi-target Data Association and Fusion,
· System integration.
The workshop will provide some authors of papers of relevance quality for their contribution to passive systems the opportunity to further shape their work for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Oceanic Engineering (see http://www.oceanicengineering.org/ ). The theme of the special issue will be aligned with the theme of the workshop.
