Projects
Development of Automatic Recognition Technology for Underwater Sound Sources
| Affiliation | Division of Ocean Vision and Action (Ocean Policy Research Institute) |
|---|---|
| Implementing Agency | Sasakawa Peace Foundation |
| Year | Second year of a five-year project |
| Project Type | Self Operated |
| Budget | ¥3,300,000 |
This project is an R&D project led by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) under the "Key and Advanced Technology R&D through Cross Community Collaboration Program (K Program)" to develop technology for the continuous monitoring of the vertical section of the ocean.

This project will develop an advanced sensing cable equipped with an optical fiber hydrophone for high-precision observation of underwater sounds, and an offshore vehicle that will navigate in the ocean for observation, aiming to construct a system for continuous observation, survey, and monitoring from the sea surface to the seafloor.
To extract information from observed sounds, this project will catalog sound sources and will develop methodology for automatically classifying those sources and estimating their movement patterns. This project will also realize highly accurate analysis of ocean conditions at all depths using multi-model ensembles with data observed by offshore vehicles.
OPRI, in cooperation with JAMSTEC and Waseda University, is responsible for the construction of a marine sound source catalog using passive data of geographical, anthropological and biological sounds.
