Abstract

A method includes receiving electric field data regarding an electric field that is detected in an underwater environment by a plurality of electrodes mounted on a first structure, and receiving sensor data from at least one sensor mounted on the first structure. The sensor data relates to a sensed location of a second structure. The method includes determining location data including information regarding a location of the second structure relative to the first structure in the underwater environment based on the sensor data, and determining one or more characteristics of the second structure based on the electric field data and the location data.
