Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of acoustic signal enhancement and sound source localization technology, and in particular, it is a method for enhancing helicopter acoustic signals by combining adaptive line spectrum enhancement and synchronous compression transformation. Background Technology

[0002] Helicopters are a typical dual-use product, widely used in transportation, patrol, tourism, disaster relief, and localized strikes. However, they also pose problems such as unauthorized helicopter flights, cross-border smuggling of illegal drugs, illegal immigration, and other illegal activities. Therefore, the detection, identification, location, and tracking of helicopters are receiving increasing attention. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio of long-range helicopter acoustic signals captured by microphone arrays makes helicopter target detection extremely difficult. The key lies in reducing environmental noise interference with the desired helicopter acoustic signal and enhancing the helicopter's audio information to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0003] Currently, the main signal enhancement algorithms for helicopter acoustic signals include: 1) wavelet transform-based methods, the performance of which is highly dependent on parameter selection, and there is currently no good standard for parameter selection; 2) methods based on higher-order statistics, but these methods require a large number of data samples, have high computational complexity, and are poorly effective for signals with low signal-to-noise ratios; 3) beamforming, which requires knowledge of the target's azimuth, and the enhancement performance is limited by the number of array elements and the array aperture; 4) synchronous compression transform, which is mainly used in fields such as fault diagnosis of rotating machinery systems and ultrasonic guided wave signal analysis, but has not been applied to the field of helicopter acoustic signal enhancement.

[0004] Therefore, a method is needed to reduce the impact of environmental noise and other interference on helicopter acoustic signals, so that acoustic detection equipment can extract target helicopter acoustic signals with high signal-to-noise ratio in complex background noise. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a helicopter acoustic signal enhancement method that combines adaptive line spectrum enhancement and synchronous compression transformation, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of helicopter acoustic signals and laying the foundation for improving the direction-finding accuracy of helicopter targets.

[0007] Step 1: Acquire multi-channel helicopter acoustic signals using a microphone array and perform preprocessing.

[0008] Step 2: Perform phase-corrected frequency rearrangement synchronization compression transformation on the preprocessed helicopter acoustic signal;

[0009] Step 3: Perform an inverse short-time Fourier transform on the frequency domain result after the phase-corrected frequency rearrangement synchronous compression transform.

[0010] Step 4: Perform adaptive line spectrum enhancement on the multi-channel signals after inverse short-time Fourier transform to obtain the enhanced time-domain multi-channel helicopter acoustic signals.

[0011] Further, the preprocessing in step 1 includes:

[0012] Step 1-1: Eliminate the DC component from the helicopter's acoustic signal;

[0013] Steps 1-2 involve frame segmentation.

[0014] Furthermore, step 2, which involves performing phase-corrected frequency rearrangement synchronization compression transformation on the preprocessed helicopter acoustic signal, specifically includes:

[0015] Step 2-1: Perform a windowed short-time Fourier transform on the helicopter acoustic signals of each channel to obtain:

[0016]

[0017]

[0018] Where, x i [m] represents the helicopter sound signal collected by the i-th microphone at sampling time m, i.e., the helicopter sound signal of the i-th channel at sampling time m, i = 1, 2, ..., M, where M is the number of microphones in the microphone array, g represents the Gaussian window function, g′ represents the first derivative of the Gaussian window function, * represents the conjugate, n represents the sampling time, n = 0, 1, ..., N-1, where N is the number of sampling points in one frame of the helicopter sound signal, and k represents the frequency, k = 0, 1, ..., f s / 2,f s For the sampling rate, g * [mn] represents the conjugate of the Gaussian window values ​​at sampling time mn, (g′[mn]). * This represents the result of taking the conjugate of the first derivative of the Gaussian window at sampling time mn. Let represent the time-frequency representation of the helicopter acoustic signal of the i-th channel at the sampling time n and frequency k, after Fourier transform using a Gaussian window as the window function, at the instantaneous frequency point [n,k].

[0019] Step 2-2: For each time-frequency point of the helicopter acoustic signal in each channel, calculate its instantaneous frequency operator. This instantaneous frequency operator indicates the position of the energy centroid corresponding to each time-frequency point on the time-frequency plane.

[0020]

[0021] Where the control threshold γ is a positive number, and Im[g] represents taking the imaginary part; The frequency of the energy centroid at the sampling time n and frequency k after the Fourier transform of the helicopter acoustic signal of the i-th channel using a Gaussian window as the window function is represented.

[0022] Steps 2-3, at sampling time n, represent the time-frequency of each time-frequency point as shown in equation (4), perform phase correction, and then rearrange it to its energy centroid position. Specifically, this includes:

[0023] The time-frequency representation of the time-frequency point [n,k1] is as follows: The frequency of the energy centroid at that time point can be calculated using equation (3). Then the time-frequency representation of its energy centroid location [n, k0] is as follows: in A1[n,k1] and A0[n,k0] are the amplitudes of time-frequency points [n,k1] and [n,k0], respectively; 2πk1τ1 and 2πk0τ0 are the phases of time-frequency points [n,k1] and [n,k0], respectively; and τ1 and τ0 are the time delays of time-frequency points [n,k1] and [n,k0], respectively.

[0025]

[0026] in, angle[g] represents taking the phase; after time-frequency rearrangement, the time-frequency representation of the time-frequency point [n,k1] becomes The time-frequency representation of its centroid location [n,k0] becomes...

The filter weight vector is composed of the weights w of each tap of the filter. j [n] is composed of j = 0, 1, ..., L, and the filter weight vector w[n] = [w0[n] w1[n] … w L [n] T .

[0034] Furthermore, the filter weight vector is updated according to the following formula:

[0035]

[0036] Here, the step size factor α is used to control the increment magnitude of the filter tap weight vector, and c is a constant used to avoid ||y|| . FSSTi [n]|| 2 Too small step size If the value is too large, the error signal e[n] = d[n] - y at sampling time n FSSTi [n], d[n] are the expected values ​​of the current input signal, i.e., the time-domain helicopter acoustic signal after phase correction, frequency rearrangement, synchronous compression transformation, at sampling time n.

[0037] Furthermore, the step size factor α has a range of (0, 2).

[0038] Furthermore, the delay y of the input signal FSSTi [nm] is fed into the adaptive filter as signal y FSSTi The expected value of [n] is d[n], where m is the number of delayed sampling points.
