Abstract

The ocean is vital for human survival and development, serving as the birthplace of life and a source of food, minerals, and scientific research materials. It plays a crucial role in global trade, economic growth, climate regulation, and ecological balance. Underwater positioning technology is fundamental to marine engineering, with underwater acoustic passive positioning being essential for sonar source localization. Active and passive acoustic systems help measure underwater noise and determine target locations. Passive systems rely on signals emitted by targets, while active systems use interaction signals for positioning. This study applies machine learning to improve acoustic beacon signal recognition in underwater positioning. Results show that machine learning enhances recognition speed by 8% and detection accuracy by 9% compared to traditional methods. By optimizing underwater acoustic signal recognition, this approach enhances positioning accuracy, reduces costs, and advances intelligent marine technology, providing innovative solutions for complex marine environments.
