An FPGA-Based WASN for Remote Real-Time Monitoring of Endangered Species: A Case Study on the Birdsong Recognition of Botaurus stellaris
(MDPI, 2017-06)
Fast environmental variations due to climate change can cause mass decline or even extinctions of species, having a dramatic impact on the future of biodiversity. During the last decade, different ...
Digital Transmission Techniques for a Long Haul HF Link: DS-SS vs. OFDM
(Wiley, 2014-06)
This paper presents two digital transmission techniques for long haul ionospheric links. Since2003 we have studied the HF link between the Antarctic Spanish Base, Juan Carlos I, and Spain; and wehave ...
Physical Layer Definition for a Long-Haul HF Antarctica to Spain Radio Link
(MDPI, 2016-05)
La Salle and the Observatori de l’Ebre (OE) have been involved in a remote sensing project in Antarctica for the last 11 years. The OE has been monitoring the geomagnetic activity for more than twenty ...
Vertical and oblique ionospheric soundings performance comparison over the 12,760 km transequatorial HF link between Antarctica and Spain
(Wiley, 2017-03)
This paper presents the second part of the study of the oblique sounding of a 12,760 km transequatorial ionospheric link between Livingston Island (Antarctica) and Cambrils in Spain. The study consists ...
Detection of Anomalous Noise Events for Real-Time Road-Traffic Noise Mapping: The Dynamap's project case study
(De Gruyter, 2018-06)
Environmental noise is increasing year after year, especially in urban and suburban areas. Besides annoyance, environmental noise also causes harmful health effects on people. The Environmental Noise ...
Towards Automatic Bird Detection: An Annotated and Segmented Acoustic Dataset of Seven Picidae Species
(MDPI, 2017-03)
Analysing behavioural patterns of bird species in a certain region enables researchers to recognize forthcoming changes in environment, ecology, and population. Ornithologists spend many hours observing ...
Home Sound: a GPU-based Platform for Massive Data Acquisition and Processing for Acoustic Ambient Assisted Living Applications for Behavior Monitoring
(IFSA, 2017-05)
Human life expectancy has grown over the last century, which has driven governments to increase the efforts on caring about the eldest population. Therefore, modern trends take advantage of latest ...
Narrowband and Wideband Channel Sounding of an Antarctica to Spain Ionospheric Radio Link
(MDPI, 2015-09)
La Salle and Ebro Observatory have been involved in remote sensing projects in Antarctica for the last 11 years (approximately one solar cycle). The Ebro Observatory has been monitoring and analyzing ...
Detection of Anomalous Noise Events on Low-Capacity Acoustic Nodes for Dynamic Road Traffic Noise Mapping within an Hybrid WASN
(MDPI, 2018-04)
One of the main aspects affecting the quality of life of people living in urban and suburban areas is the continuous exposure to high road traffic noise (RTN) levels. Nowadays, thanks to Wireless Acoustic ...
Remote Geophysical Observatory in Antarctica with HF data transmission: a Review
(MDPI, 2014-07)
The geophysical observatory in the Antarctic Spanish Station Juan Carlos I (ASJI) in Livingston Island has been monitoring the magnetic field in the Antarctic region for more than fifteen years. In 2004, ...
