Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sonar data processing, and specifically to a small sample sonar reverberation data enhancement and target detection method and system. Background Art

[0002] In the field of ocean detection and target identification, active sonar detects and identifies underwater targets by emitting sound waves and receiving echoes. However, the performance of active sonar detection solutions is limited by reverberation interference and small sample data in complex ocean environments, making it less than ideal. Reverberation, the superimposed signal formed by sound waves reflecting off scatterers such as the sea surface, seabed, and plankton, often has much higher energy than the target echo, resulting in a low signal-to-mixing ratio (SRR). This makes it difficult for traditional methods such as matched filtering and adaptive filtering to effectively distinguish between targets and reverberation.

[0003] At the same time, due to the complexity of the marine environment (such as thermohaline jump layers and variability of seabed topography), the high cost of sonar data collection (requiring long-term sea trials on ship platforms) and limited experimental conditions, the actual amount of available sonar reverberation and target echo data is extremely small, forming a typical small-sample learning scenario, resulting in insufficient model training and weak generalization ability, which seriously restricts the practical application of sonar target detection technology.

[0004] In small sample sizes, insufficient data exacerbates the inductive bias of traditional deep learning models (such as CNNs), making it difficult to learn the underlying distribution differences between reverberation and target echoes. Although techniques such as transfer learning and meta-learning have been explored, the time-frequency characteristics of sonar signals differ significantly from those of modalities such as images and text. Existing feature conversion methods (such as direct spectrogram input) fail to fully exploit the signal's temporal structure (such as state transition patterns) and phase information, limiting the model's ability to detect weak and distant targets.

[0005] Traditional signal processing methods (such as fractional Fourier transforms, time-reversal mirrors combined with Wignerhof transforms) suppress reverberation through time-frequency filtering. This approach relies on a priori differences between the target and the reverberation in the time-frequency domain and has limited adaptability to non-stationary and non-Gaussian reverberation. While machine learning-based methods (such as support vector machines and BP neural networks) can automatically extract features, they lack the ability to represent the features of one-dimensional signals, and model parameters are difficult to optimize effectively with small sample sizes. Consequently, detection accuracy decreases significantly as the signal-to-mixture ratio decreases.

[0006] In summary, the existing sonar target detection technology solutions rely on large sample data volumes, which easily leads to overfitting when the sample data is small, seriously restricting the practical application of sonar target detection technology. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] The present invention proposes a small sample sonar reverberation data enhancement and target detection method and system.

[0023] As attached Figure 1As shown, in a first embodiment of a small sample sonar reverberation data enhancement and target detection method proposed by the present invention, the small sample sonar reverberation data enhancement and target detection method is applied to a small sample sonar reverberation data enhancement and target detection system; the system includes a reverberation data enhancement module, a target echo simulation module, and a feature conversion and fusion detection module; this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S110: The reverberation data enhancement module constructs a generative adversarial network model (WGAN-GP) combined with gradient penalty based on Wasserstein distance.

[0024] Specifically, Wasserstein distance (i.e., Wasserstein-distance), also known as Earth-Mover's-Distance (EMD), is a distance metric used in metric theory to compare the differences between two probability distributions.

[0025] Traditional generative adversarial network (GAN) models, based on the JS divergence optimization objective, suffer from vanishing gradients and mode collapse. WGAN-GP addresses this issue by introducing the Wasserstein distance as an alternative to the JS divergence. The Wasserstein distance provides a continuous gradient signal, enabling stable optimization even when the generated distribution differs significantly from the true distribution.

[0026] Step S120: The reverberation data enhancement module obtains a real reverberation signal and random noise, and learns the time-frequency characteristics of the real reverberation signal through a generator of an adversarial network model combined with a gradient penalty to generate enhanced reverberation data consistent with the real ocean environment.

[0027] Specifically, by introducing spectrum perception loss and multi-scale short-time Fourier transform (STFT) feature constraints through WGAN-GP, the cosine similarity between the time-frequency domain distribution of the generated real reverberation signal and the real data is ≥0.92.

[0028] Step S130: The target echo simulation module calculates the time delay, phase shift and amplitude based on the bright spot model and the geometric features and material acoustic properties of the target to be detected to generate a simulated echo signal of the target to be detected.

[0029] Step S140: The target echo simulation module fuses the simulated echo signal with the enhanced reverberation data to construct a sonar detection data set.

[0030] Step S150: The feature conversion and fusion detection module converts the sonar detection dataset into a two-dimensional feature image through Gramian-Angular-Field (GAF) and Markov Transition Field (MTF).

[0031] Specifically, by combining the CBAM attention mechanism (a convolutional block attention module consisting of two sub-modules: channel attention and spatial attention), the feature differentiation between the target and enhanced reverberation data is improved. The feature separability under low signal-to-mixture ratio conditions is improved compared to traditional spectrogram methods.

[0032] Step S160: The feature conversion and fusion detection module inputs the two-dimensional feature image into a multimodal convolutional network for feature fusion and target classification, and outputs a target detection result.

The feature separability under low signal-to-mixture ratio conditions is improved compared with the traditional spectrum graph method; this method introduces a multimodal convolutional network, which can improve the detection accuracy in small sample data scenarios, which is better than the single feature model, and thus meets the low signal-to-mixture ratio detection needs in real sea environments, so it no longer relies on large sample data volumes and avoids overfitting when the sample data is small; in addition, by fine-tuning the model parameters with a small amount of real data, cross-domain migration from simulation data to real sea data is achieved. After the migration, the detection accuracy of the model in unknown sea areas decreases, which is significantly better than the existing algorithm and adapts to the diversity of complex marine environments.

After being mapped to a low-dimensional feature space via a fully connected layer, nonlinear features are extracted using residual blocks (each consisting of a convolutional layer, a batch normalization layer, and a ReLU activation function). Upsampling layers are used to gradually increase the feature dimension to the length of the sonar signal.

[0042] Specifically, the Sigmoid function is a monotonically increasing function with an output range between [0,1]. The more negative the value is, the closer it is to 0, and the slower the approximation speed is; the more positive the value is, the closer it is to 1, and the slower the approximation speed is.

[0043] Specifically, the discriminator is used to: use a deep convolutional network, take the real reverberation signal or the generated signal as input, perform feature downsampling through a convolution module, a leaky ReLU activation function, and a random dropout layer, and extract multi-scale time-frequency features; finally, output a single discriminant probability value (0-1) through a flattening layer and a linear layer.
