Abstract Underwater vehicle is essential for many tasks such as underwater exploration, equipment deployment and covert reconnaissance. Many missions must be carried out with stealth to avoid being detected by enemy sonars, safety security are required in high-risk situations. In this paper, a path planning algorithm proposed based on the sonar detection probability analysis. First performance ...

When a location is cued, targets appearing at that location are detected more quickly. When a target feature is cued, targets bearing that feature are detected more quickly. These attentional cueing effects are only superficially similar. More detailed analyses find distinct temporal and accuracy profiles for the two different types of cues. This pattern parallels work with probability manipula...

Non-compliance with fishing regulations by Iranian fishermen in three provinces of Khuzestan, Bushehr, and Hormozgan along the Persian Gulf was investigated. Using a questionnaire and a stratified random sample method, a total of 566 fishermen were interviewed. The legitimacy variables (outcome and process) that can explain the observed noncompliance with zoning regulations for the shrimp fishe...

This paper introduces a new method for GPS signal acquisition, which is based on the repeatability of successive code phase measurements and the M-of-N search algorithm. The performance of the proposed method in terms of probability of signal detection is similar to that of traditional methods, except that the calculation of the probability of detection does not rely on the noise distribution o...

Spectrum sensing is a challenging task for cognitive radio. Energy detection is one of the popular spectrum sensing technique for cognitive radio. In this paper we analyze the performance of energy detection technique to detect primary user (PU). Simulation results show that the probability of detection increases significantly when signal to noise ratio increases. It is also observed that the d...

In Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, an adversary may access classified information about an object tagged with RFID tag. Therefore, authentication is a necessary requirement. Use of multiple tags in an object increases the detection probability and simultaneously ensures availability of multiple resources in the form of memory and computability. Authentication process in multi-...

In a recent paper, Shah and Zaman proposed the rumor center as an effective rumor source estimator for rumor spreading on random graphs. They proved for a very general random tree model that the detection probability remains positive as the number of nodes to which the rumor has spread tends to infinity. Moreover, they derived explicit asymptotic formulas for the detection probability of random...

Finding automatically the starting time of audio events is a difficult process. A promising approach for onset detection lies in the combination of multiple algorithms. The goal of this paper is to compare score-level fusion rules that combine signal processing algorithms in a problem of automatic detection of onsets. Previous approaches usually combine detection functions by adding these funct...
