They can automatically extract signal features through a multi-layer network structure for more efficient classification.
[0029] Among them, the training process of the machine learning algorithm adopts an incremental learning method, which allows the model to be updated when new data is received without having to be retrained from scratch to adapt to new input data and environmental changes. When the system detects new drone types or signal characteristics, incremental learning can enable the model to adapt quickly, reducing training time and computing resources.
[0030] The implementation steps of incremental learning are as follows: Data collection and preprocessing Real-time data collection: The system continuously monitors drone signals and collects new data in real time, including signal strength, frequency characteristics, modulation mode and other information; Data annotation: The new data collected needs to be annotated so that it can be used for incremental learning.

An appropriate machine learning algorithm, such as SVM, decision tree, or neural network, is selected for incremental training. At this point, the model will be updated based on the new data without having to start training from scratch. Training parameter adjustment: During the incremental learning process, adjust the model's training parameters, such as learning rate and regularization parameters, to avoid overfitting and maintain the model's generalization ability; Model validation: After incremental training, the updated model is validated using the retained test set to evaluate the performance changes of the model and ensure the accuracy and stability of the model on the new dataset; Dynamic update strategy Adaptive update frequency: Dynamically adjust the frequency of model updates based on the frequency of drone activities and the speed at which new data appears.
