Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of artificial intelligence and environmental noise monitoring technology, specifically relating to a multimodal noise recognition and detection method and system based on a combination of audio recognition and computer vision target detection, and to a noise recognition and detection method and system based on multimodal fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, environmental noise monitoring and noise source identification mainly rely on single-modal identification techniques based on acoustic features. These methods determine the noise type or event category by performing spectral analysis, feature extraction, and classification modeling on audio signals. Common algorithms include traditional machine learning methods based on MFCC (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients), as well as deep learning models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
[0003] However, single-modal acoustic recognition has the following significant limitations:
[0004] 1. Sensitive to environmental interference: In complex sound fields, sound is affected by background noise, echoes, and the superposition of multiple sources, which leads to a decrease in recognition accuracy;
[0005] 2. Unable to determine the location and target of the sound source: The acoustic signal lacks spatial information, making it impossible to pinpoint the specific target (such as a vehicle, crowd, or machinery) from which the noise originates.
[0006] 3. Insufficient interpretability: The identification results are based solely on acoustic features and lack visual confirmation, making the results difficult to use directly in noise monitoring and evidence collection scenarios;
[0007] 4. Difficulty in identifying multiple overlapping sound sources: When multiple sound sources emit sound simultaneously, traditional acoustic models struggle to separate and match them.
[0008] Therefore, existing technologies generally face problems such as difficulty in positioning, unstable identification, and lack of visual traceability, which limits their practical application in the fields of urban intelligent monitoring and public safety. Summary of the Invention
