Solution Overview

Problem

Existing saturation diving heliumspeech unscramblers fail to effectively adapt to changing depths and have poor performance, especially when diving depths exceed 200 meters, due to their inability to utilize the limited working vocabularies and personal speech characteristics of divers, leading to communication challenges that can threaten diver safety.

Innovation Solution

A method for saturation diving heliumspeech unscrambling based on multi-objective optimization, which involves selecting an appropriate filter, constructing phonetic and working word libraries, generating standard and heliumspeech libraries, determining filter impulse response coefficients using multi-objective optimization algorithms, and continuously updating these coefficients to correct and unscramble heliumspeech signals.
