Requirements, rules and commitments will be announced at the first experiment (attendance is mandatory).
Time:	The first experiment takes place on the 24.04.2024 in KS2/Geb.G - PC-Labor. The corresponding documents will be distributed via E-mail. On Wednesday: 14:00- 17:30h
Contents:	The presented lab "Embedded Signal Processing" is intended to prepare students for practical work in digital signal processing. Typical signal processing algorithms will be implemented during the lab on a signal processing platform using the C/C++ programming language. In addition, the lab deepens the theoretical knowledge of the two signal and systems lectures. The contents of the lab is the following: Introduction to the hardware and the programming language Implementation of an analysis filter bank Implementation of a synthesis filter bank Implementation of highpass- and bandpass filtering (frequency domain) Introduction to the noise reduction Implementation of the modules of the noise reduction

The protection of maritime infrastructure such as harbours, submarine cables, offshore wind farms, and pipelines has become much more relevant since the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Events such as the underwater detonation of the Nord Stream pipelines at the end of September 2022 show how vulnerable our infrastructure is and what impact acts of sabotage can have.

Real-time situational awareness is essential to protect the facilities. Conventional SONAR systems are used for this, but they are currently still mostly large, inflexible and expensive. This is now set to change, which is why Kiel University in cooperation with companies received funding totalling 1.6 million euros in September last year to advance research into a new type of SONAR technology with AI-supported signal processing.

In a podcast called ‘Chatbots and AI’, the CEO of the company assono, Thomas Bahn, talked to Gerhard Schmidt about how conventional sonar systems work and how they can be improved with the help of thin-film sensors and reinforcement learning. Details of the podcast and the audio part of it can be found here.
