[0150] PeakLocations=findpeaks(Candidate,'MinPeakProminence',P min ,'MinPeakDistance',I.

[0151] By using convolutional neural networks for machine learning, the features of sound signals are classified to determine the specific events they correspond to.

[0152] (1) Data preprocessing and feature structuring

[0153] Input format:

[0154] The feature is that the time spectrum is regarded as a two-dimensional input (similar to a single-channel grayscale image of an RGB image), with dimensions of (height, width, 1).

[0155] standardization:

[0156] Normalize the features (e.g., scale to [0,1] or standardize to a mean of 0 and a variance of 1).

[0157] Annotation matching:

[0158] Ensure that each feature sample corresponds to the correct event category label (one-hot encoding is commonly used for classification tasks).

[0159] Select CNN architecture type

[0160] 2D CNN (suitable for spectrogram image features):

[0161] Input shape: (number of frequency bands, number of time frames, 1) (single channel) or (number of frequency bands, number of time frames, number of channels) (multi-feature fusion).

[0162] Hierarchical design: Conv2D layer extracts local frequency domain and time domain patterns; MaxPooling2D reduces dimensionality.

[0163] 1D CNN (suitable for time series features):

[0164] Input shape: (time step, number of features).

[0165] Hierarchical design: Conv1D layers capture local temporal patterns (such as the temporal correlation of speech segments). MaxPooling1D compresses the temporal dimension.

[0166] (3) Training and optimization

[0167] Loss functions: Multi-class: Categorical Crosssentropy (labels must be one-hot). Integer labels: Sparse Categorical Crosssentropy.

[0168] Optimizer: Use Adam (default learning rate 1e-3) or adjust the learning rate (e.g., 1e-4).

[0169] Regularization: Add a Dropout layer (e.g., 0.5 dropout rate) or L2 regularization to prevent overfitting.

[0170] Data augmentation: Adding noise, time shift, and speed adjustment to the original audio signal; if the feature is in image form, slight deformation and occlusion can be applied to the spectrogram for enhancement.

[0171] (4) Evaluation and optimization

[0172] Validation metrics: Accuracy, F1-score (especially when classes are imbalanced). Error patterns are analyzed using a confusion matrix.

[0173] Early Stopping: Monitor the validation set loss and terminate training if it does not decrease for several consecutive rounds.

[0174] Hyperparameter tuning: Adjusting the kernel size, number of layers, number of filters, learning rate, etc.

[0175] (5) Extended optimization strategy

[0176] Pre-trained model transfer: If the amount of data is small, the feature extraction layer of a pre-trained audio model (such as VGGish, pre-trained ResNet) can be reused.

[0177] Hybrid models: These combine RNNs (such as LSTMs) to handle long-term temporal dependencies, for example, by following an LSTM layer after a CNN. Through this process, the CNN can automatically learn discriminative patterns from sound features and accurately associate feature values ​​with target event categories.

[0178] In a DAS system, time-domain signals of sound at different distances can be obtained. Even under a single distance condition, the time-domain signal of the sound can be obtained. For example... Figure 1 As shown.

[0179] Once the monitoring terminal detects an anomaly in the sound signal at a certain distance, it can determine that a special event has occurred at that location. Based on the time-domain signal of the sound at this distance, feature extraction will be used to qualitatively determine the type of event.

[0180] First, the time-domain signal is transformed into a frequency-domain signal using a Fourier transform. For example... Figure 2 As shown.

[0181] As can be seen, the signal exhibits a downward trend similar to a negative exponential function. The next step is to suppress noise in the signal and remove the base signal.

[0182] like Figure 3 The image shows the base signal after noise reduction of the frequency domain signal. This base signal is then removed from the original frequency domain signal to obtain the residual signal. The residual signal is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0183] like Figure 4 The image shows the signal after the spectral audio signal has been processed by the algorithm. The peaks of the signal are the feature values ​​used to determine the event category. The positions are determined by... Figure 4 The triangular symbol in the middle.

[0184] Data on various known event categories is collected and regions are divided according to the location and magnitude of feature peaks. A 2D CNN network can then be used to determine the type of abnormal event. This allows for the identification of sound events occurring at specific times and distances, and the monitoring of abnormal environmental noise.

[0185] This application provides a distributed acoustic sensing system for environmental noise monitoring and event recognition, including a memory and a processor. The memory includes a program for a distributed acoustic sensing system for environmental noise monitoring and event recognition. When the program for the distributed acoustic sensing system for environmental noise monitoring and event recognition is executed by the processor, it implements the steps described above.

[0186] This application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing program code. When the program code is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the distributed acoustic sensing system environmental noise monitoring and event recognition method as described above.

[0187] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
