Fine-Grained Engine Fault Sound Event Detection Using Multimodal Signals
<|reference_start|>Fine-Grained Engine Fault Sound Event Detection Using Multimodal Signals: Sound event detection (SED) is an active area of audio research that aims to detect the temporal occurrence of sounds. In this paper, we apply SED to engine fault detection by introducing a multimodal SED framework that detects fine-grained engine faults of automobile engines using audio and accelerometer-recorded vibration. We first introduce the problem of engine fault SED on a dataset collected from a large variety of vehicles with expertly-labeled engine fault sound events. Next, we propose a SED model to temporally detect ten fine-grained engine faults that occur within vehicle engines and further explore a pretraining strategy using a large-scale weakly-labeled engine fault dataset. Through multiple evaluations, we show our proposed framework is able to effectively detect engine fault sound events. Finally, we investigate the interaction and characteristics of each modality and show that fusing features from audio and vibration improves overall engine fault SED capabilities.<|reference_end|>
