Comparative Study on Feature Extraction of Marine Background Noise Based on Nonlinear Dynamic Features

Marine background noise (MBN) is the background noise of the marine environment, which can be used to invert the parameters of the marine environment. However, due to the complexity of the marine environment, it is difficult to extract the features of the MBN. In this paper, we study the feature extraction method of MBN based on nonlinear dynamics features, where the nonlinear dynamical features include two main categories: entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC). We have performed single feature and multiple feature comparative experiments on feature extraction based on entropy and LZC, respectively: for entropy-based feature extraction experiments, we compared feature extraction methods based on dispersion entropy (DE), permutation entropy (PE), fuzzy entropy (FE), and sample entropy (SE); for LZC-based feature extraction experiments, we compared feature extraction methods based on LZC, dispersion LZC (DLZC) and permutation LZC (PLZC), and dispersion entropy-based LZC (DELZC). The simulation experiments prove that all kinds of nonlinear dynamics features can effectively detect the change of time series complexity, and the actual experimental results show that regardless of the entropy-based feature extraction method or LZC-based feature extraction method, they both present better feature extraction performance for MBN.
