Abstract

In order to solve the problem of low recognition accuracy of traditional pig sound recognition methods, deep neural network (DNN) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) theory were used as the basis of pig sound signal recognition in this study. In this study, the sounds made by 10 landrace pigs during eating, estrus, howling, humming and panting were collected and preprocessed by Kalman filtering and an improved endpoint detection algorithm based on empirical mode decomposition-Teiger energy operator (EMD-TEO) cepstral distance. The extracted 39-dimensional mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) were then used as a dataset for network learning and recognition to build a DNN- and HMM-based sound recognition model for pig states. The results show that in the pig sound dataset, the recognition accuracy of DNN-HMM reaches 83%, which is 22% and 17% higher than that of the baseline models HMM and GMM-HMM, and possesses a better recognition effect. In a sub-dataset of the publicly available dataset AudioSet, DNN-HMM achieves a recognition accuracy of 79%, which is 8% and 4% higher than the classical models SVM and ResNet18, respectively, with better robustness.
