• Abstract: This study addresses the application of deep learning techniques in joint sound signal classification and localization networks. Current state-of-the-art sound source localization deep learning networks lack feature aggregation within their architecture. Feature aggregation enhances model performance by enabling the consolidation of information from different feature scales, thereby improving feature robustness and invariance. This is particularly important in SSL networks, which must differentiate direct and indirect acoustic signals. To address this gap, we adapt feature aggregation techniques from computer vision neural networks to signal detection neural networks. Additionally, we propose the Scale Encoding Network (SEN) for feature aggregation to encode features from various scales, compressing the network for more computationally efficient aggregation. To evaluate the efficacy of feature aggregation in SSL networks, we integrated the following computer vision feature aggregation sub-architectures into a SSL control architecture: Path Aggregation Network (PANet), Weighted Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN), and SEN. These sub-architectures were evaluated using two metrics for signal classification and two metrics for direction-of-arrival regression. PANet and BiFPN are established aggregators in computer vision models, while the proposed SEN is a more compact aggregator. The results suggest that models incorporating feature aggregations outperformed the control model, the Sound Event Localization and Detection network (SELDnet), in both sound signal classification and localization. The feature aggregation techniques enhance the performance of sound detection neural networks, particularly in direction-of-arrival regression.

  Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is critical for the effective analysis and interpretation of hyperspectral data. We propose a hybrid convolution and attention network (HCANet) to enhance HSI denoising.
