Abstract

In underwater acoustic target recognition, deep learning methods have been proved to be effective on recognizing original signal waveform. Previous methods often utilize large convolutional kernels to extract features at the beginning of neural networks. It leads to a lack of depth and structural imbalance of networks. The power of nonlinear transformation brought by deep network has not been fully utilized. Deep convolution stack is a kind of network frame with flexible and balanced structure and it has not been explored well in underwater acoustic target recognition, even though such frame has been proven to be effective in other deep learning fields. In this paper, a multiscale residual unit (MSRU) is proposed to construct deep convolution stack network. Based on MSRU, a multiscale residual deep neural network (MSRDN) is presented to classify underwater acoustic target. Dataset acquired in a real-world scenario is used to verify the proposed unit and model. By adding MSRU into Generative Adversarial Networks, the validity of MSRU is proved. Finally, MSRDN achieves the best recognition accuracy of 83.15%, improved by 6.99% from the structure related networks which take the original signal waveform as input and 4.48% from the networks which take the time-frequency representation as input.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
