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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiologically-Inspired Radar and Sonar\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessio Balleri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613532350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613532355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SciTech Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Alessio Balleri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125032612095,"sku":"9781613532355","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c49079a-3eb1-4d87-9977-248c86166ea1.jpg?v=1687440239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biologically-inspired-radar-and-sonar-alessio-balleri-9781613532355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
