Underwater acoustic target recognition (UATR) using ship-radiated noise faces big challenges due to the complex marine environment. In this paper, inspired by neural mechanisms of auditory perception, a new end-to-end deep neural network named auditory perception inspired Deep Convolutional Neural Network (ADCNN) is proposed for UATR. In the ADCNN model, inspired by the frequency component perception neural mechanism, a bank of multi-scale deep convolution filters are designed to decompose raw time domain signal into signals with different frequency components. Inspired by the plasticity neural mechanism, the parameters of the deep convolution filters are initialized randomly, and the is n learned and optimized for UATR. The n, max-pooling layers and fully connected layers extract features from each decomposed signal. Finally, in fusion layers, features from each decomposed signal are merged and deep feature representations are extracted to classify underwater acoustic targets. The ADCNN model simulates the deep acoustic information processing structure of the auditory system. Experimental results show that the proposed model can decompose, model and classify ship-radiated noise signals efficiently. It achieves a classification accuracy of 81.96%, which is the highest in the contrast experiments. The experimental results show that auditory perception inspired deep learning method has encouraging potential to improve the classification performance of UATR.

Facing the complex marine environment, it is extremely challenging to conduct underwater acoustic target feature extraction and recognition using ship-radiated noise. In this paper, firstly, taking the one-dimensional time-domain raw signal of the ship as the input of the model, a new deep neural network model for underwater target recognition is proposed. Depthwise separable convolution and time-dilated convolution are used for passive underwater acoustic target recognition for the first time. The proposed model realizes automatic feature extraction from the raw data of ship radiated noise and temporal attention in the process of underwater target recognition. Secondly, the measured data are used to evaluate the model, and cluster analysis and visualization analysis are performed based on the features extracted from the model. The results show that the features extracted from the model have good characteristics of intra-class aggregation and inter-class separation. Furthermore, the cross-folding model is used to verify that there is no overfitting in the model, which improves the generalization ability of the model. Finally, the model is compared with traditional underwater acoustic target recognition, and its accuracy is significantly improved by 6.8%.

Fusion Features

A method with a combination of multi-dimensional fusion features and a modified deep neural network (MFF-MDNN) is proposed to recognize underwater acoustic targets in this paper. Specifically, due to the complex and changeable underwater environment, it is difficult to describe underwater acoustic signals with a single feature. The Gammatone frequency cepstral coefficient (GFCC) and modified empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) are developed to extract multi-dimensional features in this paper. Moreover, to ensure the same time dimension, a dimension reduction method is proposed to obtain multi-dimensional fusion features in the original underwater acoustic signals. Then, to reduce redundant features and further improve recognition accuracy, the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is used to modify the structure of a deep neural network (DNN). Finally, the proposed underwater acoustic target recognition method can obtain an accuracy of 94.3% under a maximum of 800 iterations when the dataset has underwater background noise with weak targets. Compared with other methods, the recognition results demonstrate that the proposed method has higher accuracy and strong adaptability.

This paper focuses on the automatic target recognition (ATR) method based on ship-radiated noise and proposes an underwater acoustic target recognition (UATR) method based on ResNet. In the proposed method, a multi-window spectral analysis (MWSA) method is used to solve the difficulty that the traditional time–frequency (T–F) analysis method has in extracting multiple signal characteristics simultaneously. MWSA generates spectrograms with different T–F resolutions through multiple window processing to provide input for the classifier. Because of the insufficient number of ship-radiated noise samples, a conditional deep convolutional generative adversarial network (cDCGAN) model was designed for high-quality data augmentation. Experimental results on real ship-radiated noise show that the proposed UATR method has good classification performance.

For the purpose of improving the accuracy of underwater acoustic target recognition with only a small number of labeled data, we proposed a novel recognition method, including 4 steps: pre-processing, pre-training, fine-tuning and recognition. The 4 steps can be explained as follows: (1) Pre-processing with Resonance-based Sparsity Signal Decomposition (RSSD): RSSD was firstly utilized to extract high-resonance components from ship-radiated noise. The high-resonance components contain the major information for target recognition. (2) Pre-training with unsupervised feature-extraction: we proposed a one-dimensional convolution autoencoder-decoder model and then we pre-trained the model to extract features from the high-resonance components. (3) Fine-tuning with supervised feature-separation: a supervised feature-separation algorithm was proposed to fine-tune the model and separate the extracted features. (4) Recognition: classifiers were trained to recognize the separated features and complete the recognition mission. The unsupervised pre-training autoencoder-decoder can make good use of a large number of unlabeled data, so that only a small number of labeled data are required in the following supervised fine-tuning and recognition, which is quite effective when it is difficult to collect enough labeled data. The recognition experiments were all conducted on ship-radiated noise data recorded using a sensory hydrophone. By combining the 4 steps above, the proposed recognition method can achieve recognition accuracy of 93.28%, which sufficiently surpasses other traditional state-of-art feature-extraction methods.

This article focuses on an underwater acoustic target recognition method based on target radiated noise. The difficulty of underwater acoustic target recognition is mainly the extraction of effective classification features and pattern classification. Traditional feature extraction methods based on Low Frequency Analysis Recording (LOFAR), Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Gammatone-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC), etc. essentially compress data according to a certain pre-set model, artificially discarding part of the information in the data, and often losing information helpful for classification. This paper presents a target recognition method based on feature auto-encoding. This method takes the normalized frequency spectrum of the signal as input, uses a restricted Boltzmann machine to perform unsupervised automatic encoding of the data, extracts the deep data structure layer by layer, and classifies the acquired features through the BP neural network. This method was tested using actual ship radiated noise database, and the results show that proposed classification system has better recognition accuracy and adaptability than the hand-crafted feature extraction based method.
