摘要

Environmental sound classification (ESC) has significant applications in acoustic monitoring and smart environments. This paper presents a novel multi-channel approach using attention-enhanced EfficientNet with audio-specific optimizations. Our method transforms audio signals into three-channel representations combining mel-spectrograms with delta and delta-delta features, employing squeeze-and-excitation attention for discriminative feature learning. We achieve 92.0% accuracy on ESC-50 without external pretraining, outperforming existing methods by 3.3% points. Key contributions include: (1) novel multi-channel audio representation capturing spectral and temporal dynamics, (2) attention-enhanced EfficientNet-B2 architecture, (3) comprehensive training with advanced augmentation, (4) rigorous experimental validation with statistical analysis.
