2026 The 8th International Conference on Video, Signal and Image Processing (VSIP)

Special Session 5: Intelligent Processing Technology and Application of Underwater Acoustic Signals

Brief Description


Ocean acoustics, as an important way for understanding and managing the ocean, is a key fundamental technology for information acquisition, transmission and processing in marine three-dimensional observation. It is increasingly becoming the core support for building marine perception, detection and transmission networking. With the continuous increase in demand in the ocean resource development and national defense security fields, there is a demand for higher reliability and intelligence in ocean acoustic signal processing. Therefore, in response to the current ocean acoustic signal processing technology and applications, we focus on aspects such as sound velocity inversion, underwater acoustic perception, target positioning, acoustic detection, and typical applications, continuously improving the theoretical innovation and engineering application level of intelligent processing of ocean acoustic signals.
