[0043] Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the sound source imaging calculation module according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0044] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a system for detecting and locating faults in the equipment of an automotive transport ship, including: a microphone array composed of a plurality of microphones, a signal acquisition card, and a rear-end machine for imaging and positioning;

[0047] In this embodiment, microphones with any number and determined relative positions are arranged near the area to be measured on the ship to form a microphone array, and the microphone array is connected to the rear-end machine through a signal acquisition card;

[0048] After processing the audio and setting the imaging parameters as required on the rear-end machine, the rear-end machine can automatically calculate the noise intensity and noise distribution on the plane of the area to be measured, and finally output image and text information to locate the position of the noise source for the user; specifically, the rear-end machine calculates the steering vector in different array arrangement cases and improves the spatial resolution of the array through weight compensation, thereby reducing the spatial restrictions on the arrangement and making it possible to flexibly arrange the microphone array; it is also possible to change the models and quantities of the microphones, and the models of the signal acquisition card and the rear-end machine according to the requirements for imaging effects and costs.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rear-end machine for imaging and positioning includes: an audio processing module, an audio reading module, a parameter setting module, a sound source imaging calculation module, an imaging image output module, and a positioning result output module;

[0050] The audio processing module is used to pre-process and store the multi-channel audio data collected by the microphone array. Specifically, the multi-channel audio data collected by the microphone array is input into the back-end machine through the signal acquisition card, and then digitally amplified and background noise removed. The goal is to provide a reasonable level and remove non-environmental noise caused by the equipment during the recording process. The processed data is then saved as a multi-channel audio data file.

[0051] In this embodiment, the audio reading module is used to read a multi-channel audio data file, convert the multi-channel audio data file into a data matrix form, and obtain an audio data matrix, the matrix size of which is the number of samples × the number of channels. The audio data matrix is ​​imported into the sound source imaging calculation module as raw data;

[0052] In this embodiment, the parameter setting module is used to provide an input window for required parameters, and the type of imaging algorithm to be sampled and the subdivision parameters required by the algorithm can be set; in the parameter setting module, various required parameters are input, including: scanning plane distance, microphone array coordinates, array focusing angle, grid density in the scanning plane, imaging algorithm type, single iteration calculation sampling amount, total iteration calculation sampling amount and target frequency range;

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the sound source imaging calculation module is used to perform sound source imaging according to the parameters input by the user in the parameter setting module and the audio data matrix in the audio reading module, specifically including:

[0054] Get the audio data matrix in the audio reading module and calculate the audio cross spectrum, which is the audio signal cross spectrum matrix. The matrix contains the cross spectra of the signals received by different microphones in the array.

[0055] The steering vector and time delay are calculated based on the scanning plane distance, microphone array coordinates, array focusing angle, grid density in the scanning plane, and target frequency interval. The scanning plane is fixed as a rectangular plane, and the grid density includes the total number of grid points and grid point spacing information, so that the relative coordinates of each grid point in the imaging plane can be determined. The scanning plane distance refers to the straight-line distance between the center point (0, 0, 0) of the microphone array plane and the center point P of the imaging plane; the array focusing angle parameter determines the pitch and horizontal angles of the line connecting the two points and the microphone array plane, so as to determine the specific spatial coordinates of the center point P of the imaging plane and the spatial coordinates of other grid points; the target frequency interval depends on the needs of the user and can be set by the user.

[0056] Then, the sound source imaging algorithm is calculated according to the type of imaging algorithm, the number of samples calculated in a single iteration, the number of samples calculated in total iterations, the target frequency range and other parameters, and finally the maximum angle of the beamforming response and the value of each point in the scanning plane are output;

[0057] In this embodiment, multiple algorithms such as delayed sum algorithm, deconvolution algorithm, and functional function algorithm can be selected according to the set parameters;

[0058] Among them, the application of audio cross spectrum CSM in different types of imaging algorithms is different:

[0059] 1. The delay sum algorithm mainly obtains the time (delay) required for sound propagation corresponding to the distance between each imaging point and each microphone, and uses CSM to calculate the signal of each microphone after the delay on the point. According to the principle of constructive interference, the closer the point is to the real sound source, the greater the total signal strength projected to the point by each microphone. Therefore, the total signal strength of each point can reflect the proximity to the real sound source position.

[0060] 2. The deconvolution algorithm uses the CSM matrix as a control group, sets a virtual sound source at each point, calculates the new CSM formed by the virtual sound source in the microphone array according to the steering vector, compares the new CSM with the control group CSM, and outputs the similarity between the new CSM of each point and the control group CSM (the sum of the variances of the corresponding elements) after traversing each point, thereby determining the similarity with the real sound source position;

[0061] 3. The functional function algorithm reduces the influence of the correlation sound source by performing eigenvalue decomposition on the CSM, and performs a delayed sum algorithm operation on the new CSM decomposed and reorganized in a certain form;

[0062] 4. The sampling amount of a single iteration calculation can be understood as the duration of the audio intercepted in each calculation, and the sampling amount of the total iteration calculation can be understood as the total duration of the audio when imaging a segment of audio;

[0063] 5. The target interval frequency is the audio frequency range of interest, such as 1999Hz~2001Hz, which can be divided into three frequency points of 1999, 2000 and 2001. The three frequencies are respectively introduced into the part of the audio frequency that needs to be used in the above imaging algorithm, and the average value of the results is finally calculated;

[0064] 6. Traverse each imaging grid point and calculate the total signal intensity projected by the microphone array at that point after the correct delay. The point with the maximum intensity can be found through a simple traversal operation. The maximum angle of the beam response is the angle of the maximum intensity point relative to the plane of the microphone array and the center point of the plane (usually the origin of the spatial coordinate system).

[0065] In this embodiment, the imaging image output module is used to create a window and display the sound source imaging results in the window in the form of a picture containing coordinate axes. The horizontal and vertical coordinates in the image results respectively represent the X-axis coordinate and the Y-axis coordinate of the plane of the test area. The depth of the color represents the noise intensity. The darker the color, the stronger the noise and the closer to the noise source position.

[0066] In this embodiment, the positioning result output module provides a text result of sound source positioning, including text information such as the distance between the obtained sound source position (the scanning point with the largest response) and the geometric center of the above-mentioned microphone array, the pitch angle and the azimuth angle; specifically, the point with the highest value in the imaging plane is taken as the sound source center, and the specific spatial coordinates of the point can be determined, and further the Euclidean geometric distance between the point and the geometric center point of the microphone array (usually the origin of the spatial coordinate system) and the angle relative to the plane of the microphone array can be obtained.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] This embodiment also provides a method for detecting and locating fault noise of automobile transport and ship equipment, which is provided with the above-mentioned automobile transport and ship equipment fault noise detection and locating system of embodiment 1. The method comprises the following steps:

[0069] S1: Design the microphone array shape according to the required shape, arrange several microphones near the ship area to be tested, and connect the microphone array to the back-end machine through a signal acquisition card;

[0070] Specifically, the model and quantity of microphones are selected according to the needs, and then the microphones are flexibly arranged near the area to be tested. The back-end machine uses a standard sound source to calibrate the sound pickup of each microphone, including noise reduction, digital amplification and frequency band compensation of the collected audio data, so as to adapt to the response characteristics of different microphones, overcome the influence of different microphone models on the recording quality, and ensure the quality of audio data;

[0071] S2: The backend machine obtains various input parameters, including audio data for sound source imaging, spatial information of microphone array arrangement, types of sound source imaging algorithms, and subdivision parameters required by various algorithms;

[0072] S3: Based on various input parameters, the scanning plane grid points and the steering vectors of each microphone are calculated, and the spatial resolution of the array is improved through weight compensation, so as to adapt to microphone arrays of different layouts and allow flexible arrangement of microphone arrays;

[0073] Specifically, in order to ensure the sound source imaging effect of the flexibly arranged microphone array, before performing the sound source imaging calculation, the steering vector, time delay amount and beam response spectrum of the array are preferentially calculated according to the above parameters, wherein the beam response spectrum of the array is the beam response sensitivity of the array to different angles, and the beamforming response spectrum is determined by the virtual standard sound source and the steering vector. The total signal intensity received by the microphone array when the standard sound source is at different spatial positions can reflect the beam response spectrum, that is, it reflects the sensitivity of the microphone array to specific frequency sounds incident from different angles, and the maximum response angle can be found through traversal operations;

[0074] And according to the beam response spectrum of the array, the weight compensation of the steering vector is performed to improve the accuracy of the sound source imaging calculation results;

[0075] Specifically, after obtaining the beam response spectrum, the sensitivity of the array to specific frequency signals at different angles can be determined. The sensitivity at different angles can be compared with the preset standard sensitivity range. The weight of the steering vector at an angle lower than the standard range can be increased to make its sensitivity within the standard range. Similarly, the weight of the angle with too high sensitivity can be reduced.

[0076] In this embodiment, the steering vector I is used to estimate the intensity and phase of the sound emitted by the sound source when it is transmitted to a certain spatial point. If the signal of a certain sound source is S, the signal of the sound propagating to the spatial point P is:

[0077] S P =I P S

[0078] According to the scanning plane distance Z, the array focusing angle and the grid density in the scanning plane, the coordinate Y of each scanning point in the scanning plane can be determined, and then the Euclidean distance between the scanning point and the microphone can be calculated with the microphone array coordinate X:

[0079] Δ‖YX‖

[0080] Then calculate the steering vector between the mth scanning point and the nth microphone:

[0081] i mn =Δ mn ·XP(-2πifΔ mn / ) /

[0082] Where, f is the target frequency of imaging, c is the speed of sound propagation, Δ / is the time delay t, and the time delay is calculated based on the speed of sound propagation and the coordinates of the imaging grid points;

[0083] This embodiment calculates the beam response spectrum of the array to the frequency f according to the imaging target frequency f and the microphone array coordinate X, which reflects the sensitivity of the array to the frequency signal at different angles; by analyzing the beam response spectrum, weight compensation is performed for different steering vectors I, so that the sensitivity of each angle of the array tends to be uniform, thereby improving the accuracy of sound source imaging;

[0084] S4: Output the sound source imaging calculation result, wherein the imaging calculation result includes a two-dimensional picture formed by the assignment of each grid point on the imaging plane, and the depth of the color in the picture represents the signal strength at the point, that is, the darker the point color, the closer the point is to the sound source position; at the same time, output text information, including the angle between the line between the highest assigned point and the center of the microphone array plane (usually the origin of the spatial coordinate system) and the microphone array plane;

[0085] In this embodiment, the noise position is visualized and output as an image, and combined with text results describing the specific angle, the distribution of equipment noise in the measured ship area and the location of the noise source are determined to locate the noise source.

[0086] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
