Abstract

This paper proposes a novel data processing framework dedicated to bedload monitoring in underwater environments. After calibration, by integration the of total energy in the nominal bandwidth, the proposed experimental set-up is able to accurately measure the mass of individual sediments hitting the steel plate. This requires a priori knowledge of the vibration transients in order to match a predefined dictionary. Based on unsupervised hierarchical agglomeration of complex vibration spectra, the proposed algorithms allow accurate localization of the transients corresponding to the shocks created by sediment impacts on a steel plate.

Summary

Introduction

Underwater bedload transport surveys are important for assessing stability issues such as reservoir silting or channel self-cleaning. By integrating the total energy in the nominal bandwidth, the proposed experimental setup is able to accurately measure the mass of individual sediments hitting the steel plate. This requires a priori knowledge of the vibration transients in order to match a predefined dictionary. The multivariate segmentation algorithm proposed in [10] is selected: the multimodal signals are analyzed by exploiting the asymptotic distribution of the covariance matrix of the complex spectra Within this context, this manuscript synthesizes the results presented in [11,12] in order to propose a unified acoustic data processing and analysis framework for the monitoring of the bedload transport in underwater environments.
