Title
Signals and Images in Sea Technologies
Subject
Marine, Science, Sea, Technology
Description
Life below water is the 14th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) envisaged by the
United Nations and is aimed at conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development [1]. It is not difficult to argue that Signals and
Image technologies may play an essential role in achieving the foreseen targets linked to SDG
14. Indeed, besides increasing general knowledge of ocean health by means of data analysis,
methodologies based on signal and image processing can be helpful in environmental
monitoring [2], in protecting and restoring ecosystems [3], in finding new sensor technologies
for green routing and eco-friendly ships, in providing tools for implementing best
practices for sustainable fishing, as well as in defining frameworks and intelligent systems
for enforcing sea law and making the sea a safer and more secure place. Imaging is also a
key element for the exploration of the underwater world for various scopes, ranging from
the predictive maintenance of sub-sea pipelines and other infrastructures to the discovery,
documentation and protection of the sunken cultural heritage.
The main scope of this Special Issue has been to investigate the techniques and
ICT approaches, and in particular the study and application of signal- and image-based
methods and, in turn, to explore the advantages of their application to the main areas
mentioned above. After a careful review process, six papers were included in the Special
Issue. Their thematic contributions are discussed in below.
