  • 将语音分离模型重构为无人机噪声估计器,适应噪声主导的混合信号
  • 引入可学习的掩码缩放机制,允许掩码值超过1,提升噪声建模精度
  • 在真实无人机数据上显著提升人声识别效果,适用于野外搜救场景

安装在无人机上的麦克风可实现空中声学场景分析,如搜救、野生动物监测和工业巡检。然而,无人机旋翼噪声通常在信噪比低于-10 dB的情况下主导混合信号,导致声源恢复极为困难。现有增强与声源分离方法多针对近平衡混合信号设计,在无人机声学场景中性能显著下降。本文提出DRONEAUDIONET,一种将声源分离模型重构为无人机噪声估计器的降噪方法。为更好建模无人机主导的混合信号,引入可学习的掩码缩放机制,允许掩码值超过1,并加入加性残差修正项以提升噪声估计与声源恢复效果。我们在公开的无人机声学数据集上训练并评估模型,并在包含未见过的无人机硬件与飞行模式的域外数据集上测试泛化能力。结果表明,DRONEAUDIONET持续提升下游声音分类性能,对人声识别的增益最为显著。研究证实了针对无人机特性的建模对稳健空域声学感知的重要性,并展示了声源分离方法在真实无人机辅助搜救中的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Microphones mounted on UAVs enable aerial acoustic scene analysis applications such as search-and-rescue, wildlife monitoring, and industrial inspection. However, drone rotor noise often dominates the mixture signal at SNRs well below -10 dB, making source recovery extremely challenging. Existing enhancement and source separation methods are typically designed for near-balanced mixtures and degrade substantially in drone audition settings. In this work, we propose DRONEAUDIONET, a drone noise suppression method that reframes a source separation model as a drone noise estimator. To better model drone-dominant mixtures, we introduce a learnable mask-scaling mechanism that allows mask magnitudes beyond unity, together with an additive residual correction term for improved drone estimation and source recovery. We train and evaluate our model on a publicly available drone audition dataset and test generalizability on an out-of-domain dataset with unseen drone hardware and flight modes. Results show that DRONEAUDIONET consistently improves downstream sound classification performance, with the largest gains observed for human vocal sounds. Our findings demonstrate the importance of drone-specific modeling for robust aerial acoustic perception and highlight the potential of source separation methods for real-world drone-assisted search-and-rescue.
