Popis: Underwater acoustic target recognition (UATR) is crucial for defense and ocean environment monitoring. Although traditional methods and deep learning approaches based on time–frequency domain features have achieved high recognition rates in certain tasks, they rely on manually designed feature extraction processes, leading to information loss and limited adaptability to environmental changes. To overcome these limitations, we proposed a novel end-to-end underwater acoustic target recognition model, 1DCTN. This model directly used raw time-domain signals as input, leveraging one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D CNNs) to extract local features and combining them with Transformers to capture global dependencies. Our model simplified the recognition process by eliminating the need for complex feature engineering and effectively addressed the limitations of LSTM in handling long-term dependencies. Experimental results on the publicly available ShipsEar dataset demonstrated that 1DCTN achieves a remarkable accuracy of 96.84%, setting a new benchmark for end-to-end models on this dataset. Additionally, 1DCTN stood out among lightweight models, achieving the highest recognition rate, making it a promising direction for future research in underwater acoustic recognition.
