  • 先检测叫声再分类生态型,避免模糊判断。
  • 在DCLDE 2027数据集上检测与分类F1均超0.95。
  • 可在NVIDIA H100上每3秒仅用1.4毫秒,支持实时运行。

被动声学监测对濒危的南方居民虎鲸种群保护至关重要,但需在严重类别不平衡和部署环境变化下实现准确、实时建模。本文提出一种轻量级基于ResNet的两阶段级联模型:第一阶段检测虎鲸发声,第二阶段将置信检测结果分类为五大东北太平洋生态型,对模糊叫声选择不响应。在DCLDE 2027数据集上,检测器宏F1达0.960,分类器达0.958,优于冻结的Perch 2.0嵌入。通过分离检测与识别任务,端到端级联将七类宏F1从单阶段模型的0.919提升至0.933,尤其显著改善稀有OKW生态型性能。为评估跨域适应性,采用主动学习将第一阶段适配华盛顿州普吉特湾环境,使虎鲸检测F1从0.405提升至0.755(人工验证窗口)。每阶段处理3秒音频约需1.4毫秒(NVIDIA H100),实现超实时推理。结果表明该级联管道可实现可靠检测分类、新声学域自适应与实时监测。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Passive acoustic monitoring of killer whales is particularly important for conservation of the endangered Southern Resident killer whale population, but requires accurate models that can operate in real time under severe class imbalance and deployment shift. We propose a lightweight ResNet-based two-stage cascade that first detects killer whale vocalizations and then classifies confident detections into five eastern North Pacific ecotypes, abstaining on ambiguous calls. We train and evaluate the pipeline on the DCLDE 2027 dataset, where the detector achieves 0.960 macro-F1 and the classifier 0.958, outperforming frozen Perch 2.0 embeddings on the five-ecotype benchmark. By separating detection from ecotype recognition, the end-to-end cascade improves seven-class macro-F1 from 0.919 for a single-stage model to 0.933, with the largest gain on the rare OKW ecotype. To assess transfer beyond the benchmark, we use active learning to adapt the Stage 1 to the acoustic environment of Puget Sound, WA, increasing killer whale detection F1 from 0.405 to 0.755 on manually verified detection windows. Finally, each stage processes a 3 s window in approximately 1.4 ms on an NVIDIA H100, enabling faster than real time inference. These results demonstrate that the proposed two-stage cascade pipeline enables reliable killer whale detection and classification, adaptation to new acoustic domains, and real-time monitoring for conservation applications.
