Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of target recognition, in particular to an underwater target recognition method, device and computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Underwater target detection is a technology that analyzes collected underwater acoustic signals, obtains target signal characteristics through processing, and then judges and identifies underwater target categories based on human or machine networks, which plays a very important role. With the development of science and technology, the further exploration and exploitation of marine resources, and the changes in the marine environment, the underwater environment has become increasingly complex, posing a potential threat to the marine ecological environment.

[0003] The prior art provides an underwater target detection method based on underwater acoustic signal decomposition and feature analysis recognition, which acquires underwater acoustic signals, decomposes the underwater acoustic signals, constructs a simple or complex convolutional neural network, extracts and fuses features of each signal component obtained by decomposition, and finally outputs the underwater target category corresponding to the underwater acoustic signals. However, due to the extreme complexity of underwater acoustic signals, for example, when the underwater target is moving, its signal will be superimposed with instantaneous interference (sound reflection of suddenly passing seabed organisms or seabed rocks), which results in that part of the signal components obtained by decomposition do not simply carry effective features about the target category, but are not simply environmental noise, but false superposition of interference signals and useful signals, i.e. pseudo-feature information carriers, which carry feature information unrelated or even conflicting with the true features of the underwater target category. Unlike noise signals, this pseudo-feature carrier does not simply mask effective feature information, but provides false feature information, which misleads the convolutional neural network and thus outputs an incorrect target recognition result, reducing the accuracy of underwater target recognition.

[0004] In summary, the existing underwater target recognition method based on signal decomposition ignores that part of the signal components obtained by decomposing the underwater acoustic signals act as pseudo-feature carriers, which provide feature information conflicting with that provided by other signal components, thus leading to an incorrect recognition result based on false feature information when recognizing the underwater target, affecting the accuracy of the underwater target recognition result.

[0016] The underwater target recognition method provided by the application has the following beneficial effects: Since the feature information of the pseudo feature signal conflicts with the feature information of other signals, the prediction result based on the feature information is different from the prediction result based on other feature information, so the application first outputs a plurality of underwater target prediction category probability distributions based on the plurality of intrinsic modal signals obtained through decomposition of the underwater acoustic signal, takes each underwater target prediction category probability distribution as an original evidence source, and then screens the conflicting evidence sources and removes the corresponding intrinsic modal signals, so as to remove the pseudo feature signals in the plurality of intrinsic modal signals. Specifically, the comprehensive evidence source (i.e., a new underwater target prediction category probability distribution) that fuses all original evidence source situations is obtained by merging each underwater target prediction category probability distribution, and the weighted average evidence is calculated by using the original evidence source and the comprehensive evidence source. Since the comprehensive evidence source can reflect the situation after the fusion of all original evidences from the overall perspective, the weighted average evidence can better reflect the potential synergy or conflict relationship between the original evidence sources. At the same time, the fusion evidence similarity and the average similarity are compared to determine whether there is a conflicting evidence in the current original evidence source. Since the fusion evidence similarity represents the overall consistency of all original evidence sources with the weighted average evidence, the credibility of the comprehensive evidence can be more clearly reflected. When the fusion evidence similarity is low, it indicates that the conflicting evidence source has interfered with the overall evidence credibility, and the intrinsic modal signals are screened until the fusion evidence similarity is greater than the average similarity. At this time, the intrinsic modal signals obtained through screening are signal components containing effective feature information, so that more accurate underwater target recognition results can be output based on these signal components. The application introduces the evidence conflict theory to screen the signal components of the underwater acoustic signal, removes the signal components containing false feature information, so that the target recognition model is not disturbed by the false feature information, thereby improving the accuracy of underwater target recognition. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0017] In order to make the content of the present application more easily understood, the present application will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments of the present application and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 A flow chart of an underwater target recognition method provided by the present application is shown in Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of an underwater target recognition device provided by the present application is shown in DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present application and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present application.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of an underwater target recognition method provided by the present application is shown in the accompanying drawings, and the method specifically includes: S10: Modal decomposition is performed on the underwater acoustic signal to obtain a plurality of intrinsic mode signals.

[0020] S20: The plurality of intrinsic mode signals are respectively input into a target recognition model to output a plurality of underwater target predicted class probability distributions, and a probability distribution set is obtained; the plurality of underwater target predicted class probability distributions are combined to obtain a new underwater target predicted class probability distribution, and the new underwater target predicted class probability distribution is added to the probability distribution set.

[0021] For example, the Dempster-Shafer fusion rule can be used to combine the plurality of underwater target predicted class probability distributions, and the formula is expressed as: , wherein, represents the new underwater target predicted class probability distribution; represents the underwater target predicted class probability distribution corresponding to the Ith intrinsic mode signal.

[0022] S30: The sum of the correlation coefficients of each underwater target predicted class probability distribution in the probability distribution set and the remaining underwater target predicted class probability distributions is taken as the support degree of each underwater target predicted class probability distribution; and based on the underwater target predicted class probability distributions in the probability distribution set and the support degree weights thereof, a weighted average probability distribution is obtained.

[0023] S40: similarity between the underwater target prediction class probability distribution of each intrinsic modal signal and the weighted average probability distribution is taken as the evidence similarity of each intrinsic modal signal; an average similarity is obtained based on the average of the evidence similarities of all intrinsic modal signals; similarity between the new underwater target prediction class probability distribution and the weighted average probability distribution is taken as the fusion evidence similarity.

[0024] S50: the fusion evidence similarity is compared with the average similarity, if the fusion evidence similarity is less than or equal to the average similarity, the multiple intrinsic modal signals of the underwater acoustic signal are screened, and step S20 is returned to be executed until the fusion evidence similarity is greater than the average similarity, and the target intrinsic modal signal obtained through screening is used for underwater target recognition.

[0025] Specifically, the underwater target prediction class probability distribution of the multiple intrinsic modal signals of the underwater acoustic signal is taken as the evidence source, when one evidence source is different from other evidence sources, the evidence source is considered as the conflict evidence, and the intrinsic modal signal corresponding to the conflict evidence source is removed, which is equivalent to removing the pseudo feature signal, so that the consistency of the remaining signals for the prediction result can be ensured, thereby improving the accuracy of underwater target recognition.

[0026] Further, when the conflict evidence is identified, all the underwater target prediction class probability distributions are taken as the original evidence sources, the original evidence sources are combined to obtain the comprehensive evidence source (i.e. the new underwater target prediction class probability distribution), and the weighted average evidence is calculated by using the original evidence sources and the comprehensive evidence source, since the comprehensive evidence source can reflect the situation after the fusion of all original evidence sources from the overall perspective, so that the weighted average evidence can better reflect the potential synergy or conflict relationship between the original evidence sources. Meanwhile, the fusion evidence similarity is compared with the average similarity to determine whether there is conflict evidence in the current original evidence source, since the fusion evidence similarity represents the overall consistency between all original evidence sources and the weighted average evidence, so that the reliability of the comprehensive evidence can be more clearly reflected, when the fusion evidence similarity is low, it indicates that the conflict evidence source interferes with the overall evidence reliability, and this conflict evidence identification method takes the comprehensive evidence source as a relatively stable conflict identification benchmark, thereby improving the reliability of the conflict evidence identification.

[0027] Specifically, the calculation formula of the correlation coefficient between the underwater target prediction class probability distributions in step S30 is: , wherein, represents the correlation coefficient between the i-th underwater target prediction class probability distribution and the j-th underwater target prediction class probability distribution. ​a correlation coefficient between the probability distribution of the predicted category of the underwater target and the probability distribution of the predicted category of the underwater target; represents the probability value of the th predicted category in the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target; represents the number of categories of the underwater target; represents the probability value of the th predicted category in the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target.

[0028] The calculation formula of the support of the predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target is: , wherein, represents the support of the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target; represents the number of intrinsic modal signals; represents the number of predicted category probability distributions of the underwater target in the probability distribution set; Further, the support weight of each predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target is the ratio of the support of the predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target to the sum of the supports of all predicted category probability distributions of the underwater target.

[0029] Specifically, the calculation formula of the support of the predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target is: , , wherein, represents the support of the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target; represents the support weight of the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target.

[0030] Further, the calculation formula of the weighted average probability distribution is: , wherein, represents the weighted average probability distribution; represents the support weight of the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target; represents the th predicted category probability distribution of the underwater target.

[0031] Further, the calculation formula of the evidence similarity of the intrinsic modal signal in step S40 is: , wherein, an evidence similarity representing an i-th intrinsic modal signal, , an intrinsic modal signal quantity; an i-th underwater target prediction class probability distribution, ; a weighted average probability distribution; a transpose.

[0032] The calculation formula of the average similarity is: , wherein, an average similarity.

[0033] Specifically, when the fused evidence similarity is less than or equal to the average similarity, it indicates that there is a conflict evidence source in the existing multiple evidence sources, and therefore the conflict evidence source needs to be removed. In some embodiments, a random screening method can be used in step S50 to screen the intrinsic modal signals without conflict evidence sources. However, the random screening method lacks theoretical guidance and is inefficient. Therefore, the present application proposes a method for screening intrinsic modal signals.

[0034] Specifically, the screening of the multiple intrinsic modal signals in step S50 includes: Step 1: obtaining multiple underwater acoustic signal samples in the underwater acoustic signal data set of each class of underwater target to obtain a subset of underwater acoustic signal samples of the class; and obtaining multiple intrinsic modal signals of each underwater acoustic signal sample in all subsets of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0035] Step 2: calculating the discrimination performance score of each intrinsic modal signal for different classes of underwater targets by using Fisher score method.

[0036] Step 3: taking the N intrinsic modal signals with the highest discrimination performance scores as target intrinsic modal signals, so as to screen the target intrinsic modal signals from the multiple intrinsic modal signals of the underwater acoustic signal.

[0037] Further, step 2 includes: Step 2-1: calculating the mean value of the i-th intrinsic modal signal of all underwater acoustic signal samples in all subsets of underwater acoustic signal samples to obtain the global mean value of the i-th intrinsic modal signal.

[0038] Specifically, the calculation formula of the global mean value of the i-th intrinsic modal signal is: , wherein, a global mean value of the i-th intrinsic modal signal; a quantity of subsets of underwater acoustic signal samples; ​denotes the number of underwater acoustic signal samples in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples; denotes the i-th intrinsic mode signal of the n-th underwater acoustic signal sample in the c-th subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0039] Step 2-2: Calculate the mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal of each underwater acoustic signal sample in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples to obtain the intra-class mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0040] Specifically, the calculation formula of the intra-class mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples is: , wherein, denotes the intra-class mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in the c-th subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0041] Step 2-3: Obtain the inter-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal based on the sum of squared differences between the intra-class mean and the global mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0042] Specifically, the calculation formula of the inter-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal is: , wherein, denotes the inter-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal; denotes the weight of the squared difference between the intra-class mean and the global mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in the c-th subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0043] Step 2-4: Obtain the intra-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal based on the sum of squared differences between the i-th intrinsic mode signal of each underwater acoustic signal sample in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples and the intra-class mean of the i-th intrinsic mode signal in each subset of underwater acoustic signal samples.

[0044] Specifically, the calculation formula of the intra-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal is: , wherein, denotes the intra-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal.

[0045] Step 2-5: Obtain the performance score of the i-th intrinsic mode signal for distinguishing different classes of underwater targets based on the ratio of the inter-class dispersion and the intra-class dispersion of the i-th intrinsic mode signal.

[0046] Specifically, the calculation formula of the performance score of the i-th intrinsic mode signal for distinguishing different classes of underwater targets is: , wherein, represents the discrimination performance score of the i-th intrinsic modal signal for different categories of underwater targets.

[0047] Since the inter-class dispersion is used to measure the dispersion degree of different categories of underwater acoustic signal samples on the intrinsic modal signal, and the intra-class dispersion is used to measure the compactness of the same underwater acoustic signal sample on the intrinsic modal signal, therefore, when the inter-class dispersion of a certain intrinsic modal signal is greater, the intra-class dispersion is smaller, that is, the discrimination performance score is greater, it means that the intrinsic modal signal can reflect the difference of different categories of underwater acoustic signals, and the ability to distinguish different categories of underwater acoustic signals is stronger. Therefore, the present application selects the N intrinsic modal signals with the maximum discrimination performance score as the target intrinsic modal signals, and selects the target intrinsic modal signals of the underwater acoustic signal, so as to improve the discrimination degree of the target recognition model for the underwater acoustic signal.

[0048] Further, the underwater target recognition based on the selected target intrinsic modal signal comprises: inputting the selected target intrinsic modal signal into the target recognition model, and outputting the underwater target category prediction probability distribution of each target intrinsic modal signal.

[0049] merging the underwater target category prediction probability distribution of each target intrinsic modal signal by using the Dempster-Shafer fusion rule to obtain the underwater target category prediction comprehensive probability distribution, so as to obtain the underwater target category corresponding to the underwater acoustic signal.

[0050] The effectiveness of the above underwater target recognition method is illustrated by a specific example, and the marine underwater acoustic signal data set in the OUA data set is used in this example.

[0051] The marine underwater acoustic signal data set of the OUA data set is collected in a marine experiment, and the data set is obtained by a 128-element horizontal line array (HLA) dragged by a 400-ton receiving ship. The device records the noise signals emitted by two source ships with a weight of 100 tons and 500 tons respectively, and the source ships run at different distances of 2 to 20 kilometers from the receiving ship. The total duration of the data set is 14.5 hours, and contains four different categories of classification data: target A: signal generated by ship A; target B: signal generated by ship B; target C: signal generated by ship A and ship B; and non-target signal D.

[0052] The total signal duration is 38726 seconds, including 4567 seconds of background noise D, 4819 seconds of target A, 20220 seconds of target B and 9120 seconds of target C. In order to maintain data balance, we selected 4500 samples from each category for experiment. Given the relatively small size of the data set, the length of each data sample is set to 1 second.

[0053] The target recognition model in this example is a back propagation (BP) neural network consisting of an input layer of 32 neurons, a hidden layer of 64 neurons, and an output layer. The specific steps for underwater target recognition include: (1) Set up the data set: the test set is completely separated from the training set and the validation set, and the proportion is set to 7:1:2.

[0054] (2) Find the appropriate decomposition parameter K, and use the multivariate variational mode decomposition method to decompose the underwater acoustic signal: use real data to analyze the signal energy ratio under different decomposition levels, hide the first component, and draw a picture to observe the decomposition energy ratio of the remaining components.

[0055] Specifically, after analysis, the number of decomposition modes K is set to 5 for the best effect, and the gray correlation degree between each decomposition component and the original signal is calculated. The results show that the decomposed signal and the original signal show a high degree of similarity, and the decomposition process is effective.

[0056] (3) Preliminary prediction and merging: the multiple intrinsic mode signals obtained by decomposition are input into the target recognition model, and the underwater target prediction class probability distribution corresponding to each intrinsic mode signal is output; the multiple underwater target prediction class probability distributions are merged to obtain a new underwater target prediction class probability distribution.

[0057] (4) Conflict evidence acquisition and correction: based on all underwater target prediction class probability distributions, calculate the average similarity and fusion evidence similarity, compare the fusion evidence similarity and the average similarity, and determine whether there is conflict evidence in the multiple intrinsic mode signals. If there is, filter the multiple intrinsic mode signals until there is no conflict evidence in the filtered intrinsic mode signals.

[0058] (5) Target recognition: based on the filtered intrinsic mode signals without conflict evidence, perform underwater target recognition.

[0059] The accuracy of the validation set in this example is improved by 0.48% to 4.89%, and the accuracy of the test set is improved by 0.97% to 8.26%. As shown in Table 1, the data provided by this example before and after screening of different categories of underwater acoustic signal discrimination: Table 1

[0060] It is worth noting that after analyzing the underwater target recognition results before and after the intrinsic mode signal screening, this example found that the B, C, and D categories of underwater acoustic signals are more likely to be confused. After screening the intrinsic mode signals, the discrimination of these three categories of underwater acoustic signals is significantly improved, indicating that the method provided by the present application can improve the accuracy of underwater target recognition.
