Abstract:A comparison between second and fourth order moment detectors is made for three low frequency transient signals embedded in measured ambient shipping noise from a shallow-water area. Detector evaluations must be made over short periods of time because of the nonstationary nature of the noise. Results indicate that the fourth order moment detects better than the second order moment for the two nonGaussian transient signals, but not as well for the more Gaussian transient signal. This suggests that the fourth or… Show more
