Abstract

The effective feature extraction method for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection is proposed and verified in this paper. The UAV engine sound is harmonic complex tone whose frequency ratio is integer and its variation is continuous in time. Using these characteristic, we propose the feature vector composed of a mean and standard deviation of difference value between fundamental frequency with 1st overtone as well as mean variation of their frequency. It was revealed by simulation that the suggested feature vector has excellent discrimination in target signal identification from various interfering signals including frequency variation with time. By comparing Fisher scores, three features based on frequency show outstanding discrimination of measured UAV signals with low signal to noise ratio (SNR). Detection performance with simulated interference signal is compared by MFCC by using ELM classifier and the suggested feature vector shows 37.6% of performance improvement As the SNR increases with time, the proposed feature can detect the target signal ahead of MFCC that needs 4.5 dB higher signal power to detect the target.

본 논문에서는 무인항공기의 엔진 음향 신호를 탐지하기 위한 효과적인 특징 추출 방법을 제안하고 검증한다. 엔진 음향신호는 기본주파수와 배음이 정수배 관계를 갖는 조화 복합음(Harmonic complex tone)으로 구성되며, 각 주파수의 시간에 따른 변화는 연속적이다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 기본주파수의 정수배와 실제 배음 주파수 차이의 평균과 분산, 주파수 변화량 등으로 구성된 특징벡터를 제안하였다. 모의 실험을 수행한 결과 제안한 특징벡터는 목표신호와 다양한 간섭 신호에 대해 우수한 변별력을 보였으며, 시간에 따라 주파수가 변하는 경우에도 영향을 받지 않고 안정적인 결과를 보였다. 원거리에서 실측된 엔진 음향신호로 부터 특징의 Fisher score를 계산하여 변별력을 비교한 결과, 제안한 특징 중 주파수에 기반한 세 가지 특징들이 신호 대 잡음비가 낮은 상황에서도 높은 변별력을 보였다. ELM 분류기를 이용해 MFCC와의 인식 성능을 비교한 결과, 제안한 방법을 이용할 경우 모의 간섭신호에 대한 오류율이 37.6% 개선되었다. 또한 신호대 잡음비가 시간에 따라 점진적으로 증가하는 경우 MFCC에 비해 4.5 dB 낮은 시점에서 목표신호 탐지가 가능하였다.
