Source Localization Using an Acoustic Vector Sensor Hosted on a Buoyancy Glider

This paper describes the signal processing chain for source localization using an acoustic vector sensor hosted on a buoyancy Slocum glider. The sensor used is a 3D directional hydrophone capable of acquiring both the acoustic pressure and the components of the particle velocity vector. The paper presents experimental results with data collected at sea and describes the signal processing chain, including detection, direction of arrival and clustering.
