Online software nonlinearity correction for wideband active ultrasound monitoring systems

This paper proposes a novel online software nonlinearity correction algorithm for acoustic active monitoring in aquatic environments. Based on irregular time resampling (time warping), coupled with statistical estimation, the estimated reference function is available for further match filtering at the reception.
