Single-sensor Density Estimation of Highly Broadband Marine Mammal Calls
Odontocete echolocation clicks have been used as a preferred cue for density estimation studies from single-sensor data sets. Such sounds are broadband in nature, with 10-dB bandwidths of 20 to 40 kHz or more. Estimating their detection probability is one of the main requirements of density estimati...

Odontocete echolocation clicks have been used as a preferred cue for density estimation studies from single-sensor data sets.

For single-sensor data, detection probability is estimated using the sonar equation to simulate received signal-to-noise ratio of thousands of click realizations. A major problem with such an approach is that the passive sonar equation is a continuous-wave (CW) analysis tool (single-frequencies).
