| contents | Underwater acoustic target recognition is a difficult task owing to the intricate nature of underwater acoustic signals. The complex underwater environments, unpredictable transmission channels, and dynamic motion states greatly impact the real-world underwater acoustic signals, and may even obscure the intrinsic characteristics related to targets. Consequently, the data distribution of underwater acoustic signals exhibits high intra-class diversity, thereby compromising the accuracy and robustness of recognition systems.To address these issues, this work proposes a convolution-based mixture of experts (CMoE) that recognizes underwater targets in a fine-grained manner. The proposed technique introduces multiple expert layers as independent learners, along with a routing layer that determines the assignment of experts according to the characteristics of inputs. This design allows the model to utilize independent parameter spaces, facilitating the learning of complex underwater signals with high intra-class diversity. Furthermore, this work optimizes the CMoE structure by balancing regularization and an optional residual module. To validate the efficacy of our proposed techniques, we conducted detailed experiments and visualization analyses on three underwater acoustic databases across several acoustic features. The experimental results demonstrate that our CMoE consistently achieves significant performance improvements, delivering superior recognition accuracy when compared to existing advanced methods. |
