[0022] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a distributed optical fiber sensing system is used to collect signals, and the system architecture includes a narrow linewidth laser, a distributed optical fiber sensing network, a photodetector, and a high-speed data acquisition card.

[0023] The system uses coherent detection technology to eliminate common mode noise through balanced detectors and improve signal reception sensitivity. In long-distance monitoring scenarios, an optical amplifier (EDFA) is set up every 10-20km to compensate for transmission loss, and Raman amplification technology is used to improve remote signal quality.

[0024] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, considering that pulse parameters have a significant impact on monitoring performance, it is difficult to balance the spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of long-distance optical fiber monitoring with fixed traditional pulse parameters. Therefore, this embodiment designs an adaptive pulse parameter optimization strategy based on monitoring requirements, adjusts the parameters of the distributed optical fiber sensing system according to the real-time monitoring environment and requirements, balances the monitoring distance, spatial resolution and response time, and collects high-quality original signals.

[0025] Specifically, this embodiment optimizes four core acquisition parameters, namely: Pulse Width , which determines the spatial resolution of the system. Narrower pulses provide higher spatial resolution, but weaker signal strength; wider pulses provide higher signal strength, but reduced spatial resolution. The optimal range of this parameter is set to 50-200ns, corresponding to a spatial resolution of about 5-20m.

[0026] Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) affects the data acquisition rate and maximum monitoring distance of the system. A PRF that is too high will cause aliasing of reflected signals from different locations; a PRF that is too low will reduce the data update rate. The optimization range of this parameter is 5-20kHz.

[0027] The signal average number N is related to the signal-to-noise ratio and system response time. The more average times, the higher the signal-to-noise ratio, but the longer the response time.

[0028] Pulse power, this parameter affects the signal strength and monitoring distance. Too high power may cause nonlinear effects; too low power may make the remote signal undetectable.

[0029] In this embodiment, the adaptive pulse parameter optimization strategy is as follows: Dynamically adjust the optical pulse width according to the target spatial resolution requirements, spatial resolution Calculation formula: ; Where c is the speed of light, n is the refractive index of the optical fiber, is the pulse width; for example, a 100ns pulse corresponds to about 10m spatial resolution.

[0030] Automatically adjust the pulse repetition frequency according to the monitoring distance L, the pulse repetition frequency The upper limit value is Settings; for example, the maximum PRF of a 10km optical fiber is about 10kHz.

[0031] Select the signal averaging times N based on the monitoring mode, where: reduce the averaging times in fast response mode; increase the averaging times in high precision mode to improve the signal-to-noise ratio; the relationship between the averaging times N and the signal-to-noise ratio improvement is: , in fast response mode N=100-1000, in high precision mode N=1000-10000.

[0032] Dynamically adjust the pulse power according to the optical fiber line loss measurement results to generate an optical power distribution curve; specifically, first use the optical time domain reflection technology to measure the actual loss distribution of the optical fiber line, and calculate the total round-trip loss L from the transmitter to the distance z. total (z), including inherent fiber attenuation, connector loss, and microbending loss. Based on these loss measurement results, the system dynamically calculates the power distribution curve at different distances through the following power adjustment algorithm: ; in, is the power distribution curve, is the maximum output power of the laser (50mW), is the target signal-to-noise ratio (10-15dB), is the noise power spectral density at the receiving end.

[0033] The algorithm ensures that the signal-to-noise ratio of the returned signal at any position z is not lower than the target value. Based on the power distribution curve, the peak power of the pulse is dynamically adjusted through the electro-optic modulator (EOM): , rect is a rectangular pulse function.

[0034] The optimal pulse parameter combination is determined based on the spatial resolution, monitoring distance and response time requirements.

[0035] This embodiment adjusts the above parameters according to the real-time monitoring environment and needs, balancing the monitoring distance, spatial resolution and response time. The spatial resolution formula is derived based on the fiber refractive index and the speed of light, and the pulse width (50-200ns) and repetition frequency (5-20kHz) are dynamically adjusted. The adaptive averaging strategy adjusts the average times according to the monitoring mode for fast response / high precision, and adjusts the pulse power based on the line loss to achieve pulse parameter optimization based on monitoring needs.

[0036] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, considering that the optical fiber signal generates fading noise due to random changes in polarization state, the traditional threshold method cannot effectively suppress it. Therefore, a preprocessing method combining polarization fading compensation and morphological filtering is adopted.

[0037] Specifically, polarization diversity technology is combined with elliptic interpolation algorithm to eliminate the fluctuation of orthogonal polarization state signals. Polarization fading compensation includes: Collect the first Brillouin scattering signal in the orthogonal polarization direction and the second Brillouin scattering signal ; The first Brillouin scattering signal and the second Brillouin scattering signal are synthesized in the complex domain to obtain a polarization-insensitive synthesized signal; the synthesized signal calculation formula is: ; Reduce signal fluctuations caused by changes in polarization state.

[0038] Morphological filtering includes: An elliptical structure element is used for morphological operations, with a time domain radius of 3-7 sampling points and a spatial radius of 1-3 spatial sampling points. An asymmetric elliptical structure element B(a,b) is used, where a is the time domain radius, which is 3-7 sampling points, and b is the spatial radius, which is 1-3 spatial sampling points.

[0039] The morphological opening and closing operations are performed on the synthetic signal in sequence, where the opening operation removes isolated noise points by first corroding and then dilating; the closing operation fills small holes inside the signal by first dilating and then corroding.

[0040] The results of the opening operation and the closing operation are weighted averaged to obtain a preprocessed signal.

[0041] Specifically, the morphological opening operation is erosion followed by dilation, which is used to remove peak noise. The expression is: ; The morphological closing operation is dilation followed by erosion, which is used to fill the signal valley value: ; The final filtering result is the weighted average of the opening and closing operations: ; The weight α is set to 0.5-0.7 and can be adjusted dynamically according to the signal characteristics.

[0042] This filtering method can effectively suppress environmental interference and polarization changes while preserving the spatiotemporal characteristics of the event signal.

[0043] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, an integrated deep learning model is constructed to perform feature dimension reduction, feature extraction, fusion, anomaly detection, etc. on the preprocessed signal. The model performs high-dimensional signal dimension reduction and denoising based on the autoencoder, and at the same time, the multi-scale convolution feature extraction module captures the signal change characteristics at different time scales, and the phase-sensitive feature extraction module is used to obtain the physical characteristics of Brillouin frequency shift and phase. The two complement each other to form a comprehensive feature representation. The feature fusion module realizes the adaptive integration of different types of features based on the interaction function of physical constraints, especially focusing on the embedding of physical laws in deep learning. Finally, the multi-task output module simultaneously performs anomaly detection, classification and location positioning in a shared feature and dedicated task layer manner, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing efficiency and accuracy.

[0044] In this embodiment, the autoencoder is located at the front end of the model, and its structure is: The encoder part contains at least three layers of fully connected networks, which compress the preprocessed signal into a low-dimensional feature representation layer by layer. Each layer is equipped with a nonlinear activation function and regularization operation.

[0046] The decoder part reconstructs the original signal through a fully connected layer structure symmetrical to the encoder and is only used in the pre-training stage.

[0047] Specifically, the decoder reconstructs the features output by the encoder into the original signal for pre-training of the autoencoder. In a specific example, the decoder also includes an input layer and 3 fully connected layers: The input layer receives the encoder output features . The fourth fully connected layer: ,in , . Fifth fully connected layer: ,in , , apply Dropout, dropout rate . Sixth fully connected layer: ,in , , is the Sigmoid activation function. Reconstruct the signal: .

[0048] Among them: in the pre-training stage, the signal reconstruction mean square error is used as the loss function to optimize the encoder and decoder parameters; after the pre-training is completed, the encoder part is retained for feature dimensionality reduction and the low-dimensional feature representation is output.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pre-training process of the autoencoder is as follows: Design loss function: mean square error The optimizer uses Adam, and the learning rate is set to 0.001. Early stopping strategy: stop if the validation set loss does not improve for 5 consecutive rounds.

[0050] In this embodiment, the multi-scale convolution feature extraction module uses a parallel multi-scale convolution structure to capture feature patterns at different time scales. The multi-scale convolution feature extraction includes: Reshape the low-dimensional feature representation into a three-dimensional tensor to adapt to the convolution operation.

[0051] In one example, the feature vector output by the autoencoder Reshape into a 3D tensor , suitable for convolution operation.

[0052] Features at different time scales are extracted through multiple parallel convolution paths, each using convolution kernels of different sizes.

[0053] In one example, there are three sets of parallel convolutional layers, using different convolution kernel sizes to capture multi-scale features. Small-scale convolution path: ,in The shape is The convolution kernel, step size ,filling .Mesoscale convolution path: ,in The shape is Convolution kernel, stride = 1, padding = 1. Large-scale convolution path: ,in The shape is The convolution kernel is , stride=1, and padding=1.

[0054] The features output by each path are concatenated in the channel dimension to form a joint feature.

[0055] In an example, the concatenation operation: ,get .

[0056] The joint features are subjected to channel dimension reduction, and the reduced features are converted into multi-scale convolutional features through global average pooling operation.

[0057] In one example, 1×1 convolution is used for dimensionality reduction: ,in is the convolution kernel, and we get . Global Average Pooling: ,get . Flattening operation: , and obtain the final multi-scale convolutional features .

[0058] In this embodiment, the phase-sensitive feature extraction module is used to extract the phase and frequency shift features in the Brillouin scattering signal. The phase-sensitive feature extraction includes: Signal phase feature extraction is performed on the low-dimensional feature representation through a phase extraction subnetwork, wherein the phase extraction subnetwork includes a phase perception layer, which extracts phase features through frequency domain transformation.

First fully connected layer: ,in , . Phase perception layer: ,in The operation applies Hilbert transform and Fourier transform to extract phase information. Second fully connected layer: ,in , .

[0060] It should be noted that the present invention can also generate an analytical signal through a learnable complex convolution kernel and calculate its phase to extract phase features.

[0061] The frequency shift feature is extracted from the low-dimensional feature representation through the frequency shift extraction subnetwork, wherein the frequency shift extraction subnetwork includes a frequency shift perception layer, which extracts the frequency shift characteristics through time-frequency analysis.

The second fully connected layer: ,in , .

[0063] It should be noted that the present invention can also dynamically learn frequency shift features through a differentiable time-frequency convolutional layer.

[0064] The outputs of the phase extraction subnetwork and the frequency shift extraction subnetwork are concatenated and fused through a fully connected layer to generate a frequency shift-phase joint feature.

[0065] In one example, generating a frequency shift-phase joint feature at a joint coding layer specifically includes: Feature stitching: ,get . Joint feature extraction: ,in , Output: frequency shift-phase joint feature .

Specifically, the dynamic weight generation network includes: The first weight generation subnetwork receives multi-scale convolutional features As input, the multi-scale convolution feature weight coefficient α is output through a fully connected layer and a Sigmoid activation function.

[0067] The second weight generation subnetwork receives the frequency shift-phase joint feature As input, the frequency shift-phase joint feature weight coefficient β is output through the fully connected layer and the Sigmoid activation function; The third weight generation sub-network receives and The concatenated vector of is taken as input, and the interaction weight coefficient γ is output through the fully connected layer and the Sigmoid activation function; Among them, the weight coefficient of each sub-network satisfies .

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the overall training process of the deep learning model is: Autoencoder pre-training: Use unlabeled data to train the autoencoder to reconstruct the original signal, fix the encoder weights, and extract the feature vector.

[0083] End-to-end model training: load pre-trained encoder weights, train a full multi-task model using labeled data, monitor validation metrics and overall loss for each task, and apply early stopping to prevent overfitting.

[0084] Model fine-tuning: Unfreeze the encoder weights and use a smaller learning rate for fine-tuning, focusing on optimizing the physical parameters in the physical perception fusion module.

[0085] Among them, the multi-task loss function is used in end-to-end model training, and the expression is: ,in , , is the weight of the loss of each task.

[0086] Loss for the anomaly detection task: ; In the formula, N is the number of training samples, is the true abnormality label of the i-th sample, is the probability that the model predicts the i-th sample as abnormal.

[0088] Loss for the location positioning task: ; In the formula, N is the number of training samples, is the location label of the i-th abnormal sample, The position of the i-th abnormal sample predicted by the model.

[0089] It should be noted that when the signal of the present invention is collected, the data is usually a series of measurement points along the length of the optical fiber. The position information of each sampling point has been recorded by the system. The position information of each sampling point represents the distance from the starting end of the optical fiber. These position tags are obtained together with the signal data. The position tag mentioned in the present invention is a relative distance, that is, the distance from the abnormal point to the starting end of the optical fiber system. Therefore, the position location branch outputs a quantized distance value.

[0090] The training strategy during the training process is: Optimizer: Adam, learning rate = 0.0005. Learning rate scheduling: If the validation loss does not improve every 10 rounds, the learning rate decays to the original 0.5. Early stopping strategy: Stop training if the total validation loss does not improve for 15 consecutive rounds.

[0091] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the generalization ability of the model, a data enhancement strategy is designed for the characteristics of optical fiber sensing signals: Signal-to-noise ratio transformation: Add noise of different intensities to the training samples. Gaussian white noise: SNR ranges from -30dB to 0dB. Colored noise: 1 / f noise simulates environmental vibration background. Impulse noise: simulates electrical interference.

[0092] Time-frequency domain transformation: Time stretching / compression (±20%): adapt to events with different propagation speeds. Frequency shift (±5%): cope with frequency changes caused by temperature drift. Random attenuation (0.5-1.5 times): simulate different distances and attenuation conditions.

[0093] Synthetic event generation: Event superposition: Linear combination of multiple event signals. Position randomization: Randomly place events at different positions on the fiber. Background mixing: Mix with the actual environmental noise background.

[0094] Through these data enhancement techniques, the original data set is expanded 10-20 times, improving the model's ability to adapt to various environmental conditions.

[0095] Specifically, in one embodiment, after the deep learning model is trained, the present invention deploys it in the monitoring device, and continuously optimizes the model performance through the built-in incremental learning mechanism. The incremental learning algorithm is built into the back end of the multi-task output module, sharing the feature extraction layer with the main model but having an independent set of fine-tuning parameters. After the system runs for a period of time, new labeled data will be collected, especially those samples that are misclassified and newly emerging anomaly types. At this point, the incremental learning process begins to execute, which is implemented by the following steps: First, for the newly collected dataset , the model is updated by combining knowledge distillation and elastic weight. Knowledge distillation updates the original model by The output of is used as a soft label, which together with the true label guides the learning of the new model. Its loss function is: ; in: is the cross entropy loss; is the KL divergence loss, is a balanced parameter. At the same time, to prevent catastrophic forgetting, the system applies elastic weight consolidation (EWC) regularization constraints when updating parameters to ensure that the parameters important to old tasks change less: ; in, is the new parameter, is the old parameter, It is the balance coefficient, which controls the weight of new and old tasks. is the Fisher information matrix, and the calculation formula is: ; Approximate calculation is performed by sampling old mission data. Important parameters are largely protected, and non-critical parameters can be updated freely.

[0096] The steps for incremental learning are as follows: 1. Train the basic model on the initial data set to obtain the parameters . 2. Calculate the Fisher information matrix F using the basic model and training data. 3. When new data arrives, use the extended loss function for training. 4. Periodically update the Fisher matrix to adapt to environmental changes.
