Claim 10:
11. A device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
receive electric field data detected in an underwater environment by a plurality of electrodes mounted on a first structure, the plurality of electrodes including at least two pairs of electrodes, the electric field data including x, y, and z electric fields detected by the at least two pairs of electrodes;
determine a radial electric field based on the x, y, and z electric fields;
receive sensor data from at least one sensor mounted on the first structure, the sensor data relating to a sensed location of a second structure in the underwater environment;
determine 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
determine one or more characteristics of the second structure based on the radial electric field and the location data.
