Acoustic Communication Datasets
Abstract
Sonar sensor arrays potentially produce huge amounts of data to be recorded
or transmitted over a telemetry system.
Compression can reduce the required storage or transmission bandwidth, or
allow a larger or higher fidelity array.
We use a dataset for a sonar array receiving acoustic communication signals
from a transmitter in a lake test.
We compress the received signals to evaluate the effect of compression on
performance.
Based on analysis of the dataset, we use non-uniform quantization with a
Laplace distribution along with noise-shaped feedback coding.
We demonstrate that this sonar data can be compressed from 16-bit to five-bit
values with little or no change in performance using our technique.
