Description
Summary:In ocean acoustics, many types of optimizations have been employed to locate acoustic sources and estimate the properties of the seabed. How these tasks can take advantage of recent advances in deep learning remains as open questions, especially due to the lack of labeled field data. In this work, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to find seabed type and source range simultaneously from 1 s pressure time series from impulsive sounds. Simulated data are used to train the CNN before application to signals from a single hydrophone signal during the 2017 Seabed Characterization Experiment. The training data includes four seabeds representing deep mud, mud over sand, sandy silt, and sand, and a wide range of source parameters. When applied to measured data, the trained CNN predicts expected seabed types and obtains ranges within 0.5 km when the source-receiver range is greater than 5 km, showing the potential for such algorithms to address these problems.
