Passive acoustic monitors analyze sound signals emitted by seafloor gas bubbles to measure leakage rates. In scenarios with low-flux gas leaks, individual bubble sounds are typically non-overlapping. Measurement methods for these bubble streams aim to estimate the frequency peak of each bubble sound, which correlates with the bubble's size. However, the presence of ocean ambient noise poses challenges to accurately estimating these frequency peaks, thereby affecting the measurement of gas leakage rates in shallow sea environments using passive acoustic monitors. To address this issue, we propose a robust measurement method that includes a noise-robust sparse time-frequency representation algorithm and an adaptive thresholding approach for detecting bubble frequencies. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method using experimental data augmented with ocean ambient noise and ship-transit noise recorded from a bay area.

Article Synopsis
  • * This chapter highlights the serial frequency discrimination task (SFDT), which assesses early auditory processing and learning, particularly in conditions like dyslexia and schizophrenia, by having participants compare pitches of paired tones.
  • * The SFDT reveals important brain interactions, especially between cognitive control and perceptual regions, and informs the development of medications targeting N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR), potentially helping treat cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Rotatory machinery commonly operates in complex environments with strong noise and variable working conditions. Time-frequency representation offers a valuable method for capturing and analyzing nonstationary characteristics, making it particularly suitable for identifying transient fault-related features. However, despite these advantages, extracting robust and interpretable fault features in machinery operating under variable speeds remains a challenge with existing techniques.

Single-channel speech enhancement primarily relies on deep learning models to recover clean speech signals from noise-contaminated speech. These models establish a mapping relationship between noisy and clean speech. However, considering the sparse distribution characteristics of speech energy across the entire time-frequency spectrogram, constructing the mapping relationship from noisy to clean speech exhibits significant differences in regions where speech energy is concentrated and non-concentrated.

Deep learning (DL) models require enormous amounts of data to produce reliable diagnosis results. The superiority of DL models over traditional machine learning (ML) methods in terms of feature extraction, feature dimension reduction, and diagnosis performance has been shown in various studies of fault diagnosis systems. However, data acquisition can sometimes be compromised by sensor issues, resulting in limited data samples.
