Abstract

This paper proposes a method to enhance the quality of detecting and classifying surface vehicle propeller cavitation noise (VPCN) in shallow water by using the improved Detection Envelope Modulation On Noise (DEMON) algorithm in combination with the modified Convolution Neural Network (CNN). To improve the quality of the VPCN spectrogram signal, we apply the DEMON algorithm while analyzing the amplitude variation (AV) to detect the fundamental frequencies of the VPCN signal. To enhance the performance of the traditional CNN, we adapt the size of the sliding window in accordance with the properties of the VPCN spectrogram data, and also reconstruct the CNN layer structure. As for the results, the fundamental frequencies contented in the VPCN spectrogram data can be detected. The analytical results based on the measured data show that the accuracy of the VPCN classification obtained by the proposed method is above 90%, which is higher than those obtained by traditional methods.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The method in [120] requires the fundamental frequencies of the target object to be known beforehand, and assumes they are independent of environmental conditions.

    “However, the fundamental frequencies of the target object need to be known beforehand, and it is assumed that they are independent of environmental conditions (which may not be true in the general case).”

    From A Survey of Underwater Acoustic Data Classification Methods Using Deep Learning for Shoreline Surveillance (2022) · cites this paper as [120]

    Section 2.3 says the methods require a target frequency window to be defined and that unsuitable input parameters can make detection unfeasible. It does not say the target’s fundamental frequencies must be known beforehand. Nor does it assume independence from environmental conditions; Section 2.2 says underwater signals are influenced by many environmental factors. No page numbers are available in our copy.

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.
