Localization of sperm whales in a group using clicks received at two separated short baseline arrays.

In this paper, a sperm whale click analysis scheme is proposed in order to calculate the position of individual sperm whales in a group using data received at two arrays deployed near the surface. The proposed method mainly consists of two parts: short baseline (SBL) with classification and long baseline (LBL) with class matching. In SBL with classification, a click is automatically detected, and its direction of arrival is calculated.
