Monitoring natural environments, such as underwater environments, requires powerful tools for signal analysis, mainly due to the uncertainty of the signal’s sources as well as the diversity of the signal’s types. Addressing this first factor – sources are unknown in terms of transmitted signals and positions – requires a distributed network of autonomous sensors with low energy consumption and reduced algorithmic complexity, in order to achieve low installation and maintenance costs.
The second factor – diversity of signal type – is apparently in contradiction with reduced algorithmic complexity: generally, the signals are non-stationary with non-linear time-frequency and/or transient components, and their analysis is naturally driven in the
two-dimensional time-frequency domain.
Our works propose an alternative that will make signal analysis tractable by low complexity algorithms. The key to this alternative is the use of time-frequency-phase continuity that, implemented via 1D processing operators, constitutes an efficient trade-off between signal modeling and algorithmic complexity. Theoretical and practical issues are combined in order to achieve an efficient distributed non-stationary signal processing architecture. Examples from real-life applications – acoustic sensing and monitoring in an underwater environment – will be presented.

Agenda

Dr. Cornel Ioana received the Dipl.-Eng. degree in electrical engineering from the Romanian Military Technical Academy of Bucharest in 1999 and the M.S. degree in telecommunication science and the Ph.D. degree in the electrical engineering field, both from University of Brest-France, in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Between 2003 and 2006, he worked as Researcher and Development Engineer in ENSIETA, Brest-France. Since 2006, he is an Associate Professor–Researcher with the Grenoble Institute of Technology/GIPSA-lab. His current research activity deals with the signal processing methods for energy and environment applications. His scientific interests are non-stationary signal processing, natural process characterization, radar and acoustic systems and distributed sensors monitoring of energy and environment systems.
