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. Besides increasing the general knowledge of ocean health by means of data analysis, methodologies based on signal and image processing can be helpful in environmental monitoring, in protecting and restoring ecosystems, 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 infrastructure projects, to the discovery, documentation, and protection of sunken cultural heritage. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses investigations into techniques and ICT approaches and, in particular, the study and application of signal- and image-based methods and, in turn, exploration of the advantages of their application in the previously mentioned areas.Technology: general issuesbicsscbubblesCramér-Rao bounddirectional wave spectradistributed jamming technologydynamic positioningenvironmental monitoringestimationfree surface recordingKalman filterlarge DOA mismatchlayout strategymarine environmentmobile sensor networksMulti-Scale Retinexn/anavigation systemsno reference image quality assessmentoil spillsparameter optimizationpassive sonarPIVrobust Capon beamformingshipsignal filteringsignal processingtime-frequency representationtwo-step steering vector estimationunderwater acoustic sensor networksunderwater image enhancementVoronoi partitionwave flume experimentswavesweak target detectionwireless sensor networksTechnology: general issuesMoroni Davideedt715543Salvetti OvidioedtMoroni DavideothSalvetti OvidioothBOOK9910557361203321Signals and Images in Sea Technologies3035249UNINA
