Ship Identification Based on Ship Blade Noise

Part 6: Intelligent ApplicationsInternational audienceIn this paper, we propose a new method about ship identification, which is based on paddle noise for classification and recognition. Blade noise is the feature that is used to identify ships, blade noise is collected by digital hydrophone, then the signal is converted to spectrum. We extract features based on the difference of the pixel in the picture. What’s more, the softmax classification function is used to training blade noise samples by combining with CDBN technology. The maximal output is the sample that satisfies the minimum cost function. The results of our experiment show that the method can be applied for ships identification by combining CDBN, spectrum and softmax functions, the classification recognition rate increases with the increase of the convolution kernel
