A Waveform Mapping-Based Approach for Enhancement of Trunk Borers’ Vibration Signals Using Deep Learning Model
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Trunk-boring insects belong to one of the most destructive forest pests. Larvae in some groups are particularly difficult to detect since they make their living in trunks and no obvious sign can be found from outside.

description | SIMPLE SUMMARY: Trunk-boring insects belong to one of the most destructive forest pests. Larvae in some groups are particularly difficult to detect since they make their living in trunks and no obvious sign can be found from outside. To deal with this problem, a new method is presented here, which is the embedding of a vibration probe into the tree trunk to pick up vibrations caused by larvae and the use of a model to distinguish whether the tree is infected. However, this procedure can experience severe interference from environmental noise, which is simultaneously picked up with vibrations. Thus, it is necessary to add a noise suppression process before discrimination. Previous examples have proved that the application of the analysis intended for sounds to boring vibrations is feasible. Therefore, we took advantage of deep learning-based speech enhancement and further improved it to develop a boring vibration enhancement model. The training data used in this research contains boring vibrations recorded within pieces of trunks and noise, which are common for trees’ living environment. The experimental results indicate that the enhancement procedure provided by our model substantially increases the accuracy of several well-known classification models, guaranteeing a more practical larvae detection. ABSTRACT: The larvae of some trunk-boring beetles barely leave traces on the outside of trunks when feeding within, rendering the detection of them rather difficult. One approach to solving this problem involves the use of a probe to pick up boring vibrations inside the trunk and distinguish larvae activity according to the vibrations. Clean boring vibration signals without noise are critical for accurate judgement. Unfortunately, these environments are filled with natural or artificial noise. To address this issue, we constructed a boring vibration enhancement model named VibDenoiser, which makes a significant contribution to this rarely studied domain. This model is built using the technology of deep learning-based speech enhancement. It consists of convolutional encoder and decoder layers with skip connections, and two layers of SRU++ for sequence modeling. The dataset constructed for study is made up of boring vibrations of Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and environmental noise. Our VibDenoiser achieves an improvement of 18.57 in SNR, and it runs in real-time on a laptop CPU. The accuracy of the four classification models increased by a large margin using vibration clips enhanced by our model. The results demonstrate the great enhancement performance of our model, and the contribution of our work to better boring vibration detection. |
