Wood-boring beetles are among the most destructive forest pests. The larvae of some species live in the trunks and are covered by bark, rendering them difficult to detect. Early detection of these larvae is critical to their effective management. A promising surveillance method is inspecting the vibrations induced by larval activity in the trunk to identify whether it is infected. As convenient as it seems, it has a significant drawback. The identification process is easily disrupted by environmental noise and results in low accuracy. Previous studies have proven the feasibility and necessity of adding an enhancement procedure before identification. To this end, we proposed a small yet powerful boring vibration enhancement network based on deep learning. Our approach combines frequency-domain and time-domain enhancement in a stacked network. The dataset employed in our study comprises the boring vibrations of Agrilus planipennis larvae and various environmental noises. After enhancement, the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) increment of a boring vibration segment reaches 18.73 dB, and our model takes only 0.46 s to enhance a 5 s segment on a laptop CPU. The accuracy of several well-known classification models showed a substantial increase using clips enhanced by our model. All experimental results proved our contribution to the early detection of larvae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
