  We introduce a Bayesian estimation approach for the passive localization of
an acoustic source in shallow water using a single mobile receiver. The
proposed probabilistic focalization method estimates the time-varying source
location in the presence of measurement-origin uncertainty. In particular,
probabilistic data association is performed to match
time-differences-of-arrival (TDOA) observations extracted from the acoustic
signal to TDOAs predictions provided by the statistical model. The performance
of our approach is evaluated using real acoustic data recorded by a single
mobile receiver.
