Extracting marine background noise (MBN) features is challenging. This study shows nonlinear dynamics features, including entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC), effectively capture MBN complexity for improved environmental parameter inversion.
Area of Science:
- Oceanography
- Signal Processing
- Complexity Science
Background:
- Marine background noise (MBN) is crucial for understanding marine environments.
- Extracting MBN features is complex due to the marine environment's intricacies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate nonlinear dynamics features for effective MBN feature extraction.
- To compare the performance of various entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC) based methods.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of entropy-based methods: dispersion entropy (DE), permutation entropy (PE), fuzzy entropy (FE), and sample entropy (SE).
- Comparative analysis of Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC)-based methods: LZC, dispersion LZC (DLZC), permutation LZC (PLZC), and dispersion entropy-based LZC (DELZC).
- Evaluation using simulation experiments to assess time series complexity detection and actual MBN data for feature extraction performance.
Main Results:
- All tested nonlinear dynamics features effectively detect changes in time series complexity.
- Both entropy-based and LZC-based feature extraction methods demonstrate superior performance for MBN.
Conclusions:
- Nonlinear dynamics features offer a robust approach for MBN feature extraction.
- The developed methods enhance the potential for accurate marine environmental parameter inversion using MBN.
