Abstract :
The author presents a philosophical discussion of adaptivity and multidimensionality in the context of ocean surveillance using a surface-based radar. He uses this environment to emphasize: (1) the basic notions of complexity and efficiency; and (2) the signal processing roles of chaotic modeling, neural networks, Doppler-polarization (multidimensional) processing, and wavelet-inspired time-frequency analysis. The discussion is supported with experimental results obtained using data collected with a world-class quality-instrument facility known as the IPIX (Intelligent Pixel Processing) radar. The data were collected at a site on the East Coast of Canada
