UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC SIGNAL ANALYSIS: PREPROCESSING AND CLASSIFICATION BY DEEP LEARNING

摘要

The identification and classification is important parts of the research in the field like underwater acoustic signal processing. Recently, deep learning technology has been utilized to achieve good performance in the underwater acoustic signal case. On the other side, there are still some problems should be solved. The first one is that it cannot achieve high accuracy by the dataset that is transformed into audio spectrum. The second one is that the accuracy of classification on the dataset is still low, so that, it cannot satisfy the real demand. To solve those problems, we firstly evaluated four popular spectrums (Audio Spectrum, Image Histogram, Demon and LOFAR) for data preprocessing and selected the best one that is suitable for the neural networks (LeNet, ALEXNET, VGG16). Then, among these methods, we modified a neural network(LeNet) to fit the dataset that is transformed by the spectrum to improve the classification accuracy. The experimental result shows that the accuracy of our method can achieve 97.22 %, which is higher than existing methods and it met the expected target of practical application.
