Multibeam Sonar Characterisation of Seafloor in the Context of Visualisation and Dissemination of Marine Data
PublicationThe paper presents the seafloor characterisation method based on multibeam sonar data. it relies on using three types of multibeam seafloor sensing data: 1) the grey-level sonar images (echograms) of seabed, 2) the 3D model of the seabed surface which consists of high resolution bathymetric data, 3) the set of time domain bottom echo envelopes received in the consecutive sonar beams. The classification is performed by utilisation...

The power of silence? opinion contagion and the surprise of the polish 2005 parlamentary and presidential elections
PublicationThis paper investigates opinion contagion in collective behaviour using threshold model (Granovetter (1978), Krassa(1988)). The theoretical background is the spiral of silence concept developed by Noelle-Neumann (1974), arguing that people only assert their opinions if they perceive a minimal support from a relevant proportion of others. We apply the model to explain the dispersion between pre-elections preferences and the final...

Continuous wave sonar with hyperbolic frequency modulation keyed by pseudo-random sequence
PublicationA CW FM type sounding signal is used in the classical solution of silent sonar. While the signal provides a relatively simple implementation of digital signal processing, and ensures good detection conditions, unfortunately, in the presence of the Doppler effect, distance measurement results tend to be wrong. This is due to the fact that the received signal’s instantaneous frequency value is dependent both on the distance to the...
