description Underwater acoustic signals typically exhibit non-Gaussian, non-stationary, and nonlinear characteristics. When processing real-world underwater acoustic signals, traditional multivariate entropy algorithms often struggle to simultaneously ensure stability and extract cross-channel information. To address these issues, the improved multivariate multiscale sample entropy (IMMSE) algorithm is proposed, which extracts the complexity of multi-channel data, enabling a more comprehensive and stable representation of the dynamic characteristics of complex nonlinear systems. This paper explores the optimal parameter selection range for the IMMSE algorithm and compares its sensitivity to noise and computational efficiency with traditional multivariate entropy algorithms. The results demonstrate that IMMSE outperforms its counterparts in terms of both stability and computational efficiency. Analysis of various types of ship-radiated noise further demonstrates IMMSE’s superior stability in handling complex underwater acoustic signals. Moreover, IMMSE’s ability to extract features enables more accurate discrimination between different signal types. Finally, the paper presents data processing results in mechanical fault diagnosis, underscoring the broad applicability of IMMSE.
