This study introduces a new framework for tracking individual fish using split-beam echosounders on moving platforms. The method improves fish tracking accuracy by estimating platform movement and integrating it with sonar data.

Area of Science:

Aquatic Ecology
Bioacoustics
Robotics and Control Systems

Background:

Individual fish tracking with split-beam echosounders is vital for understanding fish behavior.
Platform movement (ships, buoys) introduces significant errors in fish target tracking.
Existing methods struggle with accurate single-target tracking from dynamic platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust framework for tracking single fish targets from a moving platform.
To improve data association and position estimation in split-beam echosounder data.
To assess the impact of platform movement estimation on tracking accuracy.

Main Methods:

Developed a filter to estimate platform movement based on correlated fish movements between pings.

Employed an extended Kalman filter to integrate split-beam measurements with platform-position estimates.

Implemented and compared various gating and data association techniques, using manually tracked buoy data for validation.

Main Results:

The proposed framework significantly improved data association accuracy by utilizing estimated track velocity.
Incorporating platform tilt and roll estimates further enhanced data association robustness.
Platform-state estimation improved Kalman filter and cross-validated smoothing spline methods, but not robust regression techniques.

Conclusions:

A novel framework effectively addresses challenges in tracking fish from moving platforms.
Estimating platform movement is crucial for accurate fish tracking using split-beam echosounders.
The developed method enhances bioacoustic data analysis for fish behavior studies.
