Description

DESCRIPTION
Forward-looking sonar target recognition method based on asynchronous learning factors
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the technical field of marine surveying, in particular to a forward-looking sonar target recognition method based on asynchronous learning factors.
Background Technology
Entering the 21st century, sea has attracted attention worldwide due to its vast scope and rich resources; and underwater robots are often used for tasks such as underwater surveying and exploration, and have received increasing attention over the world because they are in line with marine strategies of various countries. For autonomous underwater vehicles, precise perception of underwater environment is the basis for realizing the functions thereof. However, due to limitations of underwater environment, such as light scattering, attenuation, and poor underwater visibility, target recognition ability of autonomous underwater vehicles are not comparable to that of land and air robots. Optical and electromagnetic information cannot be effectively transmitted underwater, and other types of sensors have to be applied. Forward- looking sonar (FLS) can capture high-detail images of underwater objects and scenes at high frame rates, unaffected by water turbidity and optical visibility. Therefore, sonar image recognition has gradually become a hot research field today.
Nevertheless, ocean environment is so complicated that acoustic signals are interfered when being transmitted in the sea. Forward-looking sonar has central signals generally above hundreds of thousands of hertz, and as the frequency increases, the sound energy absorbed by sea water increases exponentially; at the same time, sound waves spread out in all directions in the seawater medium, so energy loss of acoustic signals in seawater is very large, which will seriously affect quality of images. Moreover, sonar images are interfered by environment, noise and other external conditions, when objects are blocked, the accuracy of target recognition will be affected as well; due to different magnitudes of noise in sonar images, ordinary denoising algorithms cannot effectively remove all noise; in addition, parameter settings of classification algorithms have a great impact on classification results, and parameters of existing algorithms cannot find optimal parameters.

By comparing changes in macro precision and macro recall before and after adding eigenvalues to different particle swarm optimization algorithms, it can be found that the classification result of ordinary particle swarm optimization support vector machine algorithm is the worst among those of the four algorithms, while the classification result of the adaptive particle swarm optimization support vector machine algorithm with asynchronous learning factors is the best; ordinary particle swarm optimization algorithm is prone to local extreme values and it is difficult to find optimal parameters precisely due to spontaneous disadvantages; particle swarm optimization algorithm with learning factors can effectively change the problem of falling into local extreme values, but synchronous learning factors are not conducive to dynamic adjustments of local and global optimal solutions, and fail to deal with nonlinear problems. As a classical algorithm of modified particle swarm optimization, adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization uses adaptive variable weights to dynamically adjust velocity of the algorithm, balance the local optimal solution and the global optimal solution, and further increase the accuracy. Although the adaptive particle swarm support vector machine algorithm with asynchronous learning factors cannot increase running velocity, it can ensure that particles are always active by adjusting learning factors; meanwhile, variable weights are used to seek the optimal solution, which further increases the accuracy.
The above examples only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all shall belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

s34- performing iterative optimization, updating inertia weights and learning factors, and substituting new obtained inertia weights and learning factors into the velocity update formula for calculation and fithess comparison; s35- comparing a fitness function value of current position of each particle in the population with an individual optimal fitness function value, and updating position if the former is better; s36- comparing a fitness function value corresponding to an individual optimal position with a fitness function value of a global optimal position, and updating position if the former is better; and s37- judging whether end conditions are satisfied, if a maximum number of iterations is reached, the algorithm ends and a global optimal value is output, or otherwise continuing iteration.
