Surface and Underwater Acoustic Source Recognition Using Array Feature Extraction Based on Machine Learning

Abstract Sound source recognition is an important application of passive sonar. How to distinguish between surface and underwater sound sources is always a difficult problem. In order to solve the problem of S/U sound source identification, this paper proposes a machine learning method based on array feature extraction, which has certain innovative value. Firstly, according to the experimental environment of SACLANT 1993, simulation data is generated based on KRAKEN. Secondly, the simulation data and experimental data are used to extract the array features. Thirdly, the accuracy, recall rate, F1 and accuracy of GBDT classifier in three different frequency bands are evaluated. The results show that the training model established by using the array feature extraction method can effectively solve the problem of poor accuracy of some channels in the single channel classification, and obtain good experimental accuracy. Finally, the experimental accuracy of the three bandwidths is 0.9920, 0.9857 and 0.9713, respectively.
