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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $abubbles 610 $aCrame?r-Rao bound 610 $adirectional wave spectra 610 $adistributed jamming technology 610 $adynamic positioning 610 $aenvironmental monitoring 610 $aestimation 610 $afree surface recording 610 $aKalman filter 610 $alarge DOA mismatch 610 $alayout strategy 610 $amarine environment 610 $amobile sensor networks 610 $aMulti-Scale Retinex 610 $an/a 610 $anavigation systems 610 $ano reference image quality assessment 610 $aoil spills 610 $aparameter optimization 610 $apassive sonar 610 $aPIV 610 $arobust Capon beamforming 610 $aship 610 $asignal filtering 610 $asignal processing 610 $atime-frequency representation 610 $atwo-step steering vector estimation 610 $aunderwater acoustic sensor networks 610 $aunderwater image enhancement 610 $aVoronoi partition 610 $awave flume experiments 610 $awaves 610 $aweak target detection 610 $awireless sensor networks 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMoroni$b Davide$4edt$0715543 702 $aSalvetti$b Ovidio$4edt 702 $aMoroni$b Davide$4oth 702 $aSalvetti$b Ovidio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557361203321 996 $aSignals and Images in Sea Technologies$93035249 997 $aUNINA
