Nature presents examples of active sensing which are unique,
sophisticated and incredibly fascinating. There are animals that
sense the environment actively, for example through echolocation,
which have evolved their capabilities over millions of years and
that, as a result of evolution, have developed unique in-built
sensing mechanisms that are often the envy of synthetic systems.
This book presents some of the recent work that has been carried
out to investigate how sophisticated sensing techniques used in
nature can be applied to radar and sonar systems to improve their
performance. Topics covered include biosonar inspired signal
processing and acoustic imaging from echolocating bats; enhanced
range resolution: comparison with the matched filter; air-coupled
sonar systems inspired by bat echolocation; analysis of acoustic
echoes from bat-pollinated plants; the biosonar arms race between
bats and insects; biologically inspired coordination of guidance
and adaptive radiated waveform for interception and rendezvous
problems; cognitive sensor/ processor system framework for target
tracking; the biosonar of the Mediterranean bottlenose dolphins;
human echolocation; and polarization tensors and object recognition
in weakly electric fish. Biologically-Inspired Radar and Sonar is
essential reading for radar and sonar practitioners in academia and
research, governmental and industrial organisations, engineers
working in signal processing and sensing, and those with an
underlying interest in the interaction between natural sciences and
engineering.
