Title:	Detection and Classification of Underwater Transients by Time-Frequency Analysis
Author:	Boashash, B; O'Shea, P
Abstract:	Transient. detection techniques are reviewed and methods based on time-frequency signal analysis with the Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). and the cross Wigner-Ville distribution (XiVD) introduced. The WVD and XWVD are shown to provide high resolution signal characterisation in a time-frequency domain and good noise performance. Simulations of detection of a transient with unknown wave shape using these techniques is seen to perform better than classical energy detection.
Description:	This paper presents a number of schemes for transient detection based on the WVD and XWVD, for which the presence of a signal is indicated by a concentration of energy in the time-frequency plane and possible including [ a time-varying filtering operation. (Additional details can be found in the comprehensive book on Time-Frequency Signal Analysis and Processing (see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/isbn/0080443354). In addition, the most recent upgrade of the original software package that calculates Time-Frequency Distributions and Instantaneous Frequency estimators can be downloaded from the web site: www.time-frequency.net. This was the first software developed in the field, and it was first released publicly in 1987 at the 1st ISSPA conference held in Brisbane, Australia, and then continuously updated).
