A frequency band is specified to characterize the sound produced by the different platforms.Hence, the paper proposes a new technique for feature extraction by applying autocorrelation technique and discrete cosine transform. The features extracted are employed by a recognition engine that uses Gaussian mixture model for the classification of the underwater acoustic noise radiated by the ships.The performance of the recognition is investigated for various settings of the proposed technique.", }
