Problems solved by technology

[0004] The accuracy of listening judgment is not only strongly related to the training quality of sonar soldiers, but also the quality of audio signals directly affects the accuracy of listening. Active sonar single-channel listening signals are not conducive to listening and judgment
In the design process of active sonar, the target listening is designed as a single-channel signal listening. After the target noise or echo signal is extracted, it is directly sent to the human ear for listening through the earplugs. The left and right channel signals are the same, and the signal heard by the human ear is an unnatural signal. Signal, that is, the signal has no directionality, and has no scattering modulation effect from the external structure of the human external auditory canal and human head
Due to long-term training, the human ear is better at perceiving and discriminating three-dimensional natural signals. The single-channel listening designed by the active sonar makes the signal training time longer, and the auditory recognizability is poor, which is not good for listening judgment.

Embodiment 1

[0031] Embodiment 1: As shown in the accompanying drawing, this sonar target stereo listening method mainly includes the following steps:

[0032] 1) Using sonar single-beam time-domain data and its azimuth of arrival as input;

[0033] 2) calling the HRTF database of the listener's head-related transfer function;

[0034] 3) According to the angle of arrival of the listening beam, query the HRTF of the two ears at the position from the listener's head-related transfer function HRTF database, and use the impulse response function HRIR corresponding to the HRTF to filter the listening beam data to obtain the left channel respectively and the right channel listening signal constitute a stereo signal, wherein the filtering is FIR filtering;

[0035] 4) Using the stereo in-ear earplug to play the stereo signal, the left earplug plays the left sound channel, and the right earplug plays the right sound channel.

[0036] Concrete work process of the present invention is:

[0037] ...

Embodiment 2

[0038] Embodiment 2: Processing a certain type of towed linear array sonar sea test data, extracting 20 submarine target echoes and 20 surface ship echoes, a total of 20 sets of submarine / non-submarine echo data for auditory testing, for hearing tests containing the above After the sonar array data of the echo data is processed by beamforming, the single-beam data of each echo is extracted, filtered by the HRIR filter coefficient of the location, and the left and right channel data are generated for listening test. In order to verify the listening effect, 5 researchers who are engaged in the research of sonar target recognition technology and have the practice of hearing judgment were randomly selected from the key laboratory of sonar technology to listen to the above test data with Sennheiser IE80 in-ear earplugs. Tones, the following psychometric tests of auditory perception were completed:

[0039](1) The difference test of auditory perception. Let 5 testers listen to the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a sonar target stereo listening method, which mainly includes the following steps: using sonar single-beam time-domain data and its arrival azimuth as input; calling the head-related transfer function HRTF database of the listener; Query the HRTF of the binaural ears at this position from the head-related transfer function HRTF database of the listener, and use the impulse response function HRIR corresponding to the HRTF to filter the listening beam data to obtain the left and right channel listening signals respectively to form stereo signal; the stereo signal is played using stereo earbuds, the left earbud plays the left sound channel, and the right earbud plays the right sound channel. The invention can convert the sonar target listening signal from single-channel listening to stereo listening, and the listening signal carries the signal space and orientation signal, which is closer to the natural signal, more matching the auditory sensory system of the human ear, and increasing the accuracy of listening judgment .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of underwater acoustic signal processing, in particular to a stereo listening method for a sonar target. Background technique [0002] Sonar is currently the main equipment for naval vessels of various countries to realize underwater early warning and detection. Due to the complexity and variability of the actual ocean environment, interference and the diversity of types of targets at sea, target recognition is still a constraint on whether ship sonar can achieve efficient underwater detection. The key technology of target detection. And with the development of sonar in the direction of low frequency, broadband, large aperture and high power, the working distance of active and new low-frequency active sonar has been greatly improved, and more and more targets can be found within the working distance. The development of sonar equipment The demand for object recognition technology is becoming more and more prominent. ...
