SENTIRE: An Intelligent System for Hearing Protection and Human-Machine Interaction in Industrial Environments
摘要
The SENTIRE—DPI-uAI project aims to develop an intelligent active hearing protection device for workers in high-noise industrial environments. Combining Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, Machine Learning algorithms, and edge-cloud architectures, SENTIRE enables selective noise filtering to preserve safety-relevant sounds while suppressing harmful ones. At the core of the system are noise-canceling headphones connected via BLE to a wearable device that integrates a DSP module for acoustic signal pre-processing and an embedded CPU for contextual analysis and sound classification. Edge communication is handled via MQTT protocol, while a serverless infrastructure enables interaction with the smart factory. The system demonstrates robust latency and classification performance, confirming the feasibility of selective audio filtering and sub-meter localization accuracy in industrial scenarios [5, 6].
