Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distributed optical fiber acoustic wave sensing, and in particular to a phase unwinding method and device for monitoring vibrations of a ship-collision bridge. Background Art

[0002] Ship collisions are a major safety threat to bridge structures, especially in waters with frequent shipping. Bridges are at risk of collisions caused by loss of control, overloading, or extreme weather. Distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems, as a high-precision, long-distance structural health monitoring technology, can capture vibration signals from bridge structures in real time through optical fiber sensing, providing critical data support for early warning and damage assessment of ship collision events. However, distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems suffer from significant phase wrapping issues in high-frequency vibration scenarios, such as shock waves generated by ship collisions. Due to the periodicity limitation of phase measurement (typically 2π), when the vibration frequency or amplitude exceeds the system's dynamic range, the phase signal undergoes modulo 2π truncation, resulting in severe distortion of amplitude, frequency, and phase information. This issue directly weakens the distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing system's ability to identify ship collision events, for example, making it impossible to accurately determine the impact energy, locate the impact location, or distinguish between the impact and other environmental noise (such as wind vibration and vehicle loads), significantly reducing the reliability of the early warning system.

[0003] Traditional phase unconvolution methods (such as time-domain integration and Doppler unconvolution) face multiple challenges in complex engineering scenarios. The instantaneous high-frequency impact signal generated by a ship collision exceeds the dynamic range of traditional algorithms, resulting in increased unconvolution errors. These methods rely on manually designed feature extraction rules and are difficult to adapt to the diversity of different bridge structures and ship collision scenarios. Traditional algorithms have high computational complexity and cannot meet the real-time requirements of the early warning system (response time often exceeds seconds), thus missing the best warning opportunity.

[0004] Distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems, leveraging the distributed sensing properties of optical fibers, can monitor vibration signals along long fiber optic lines in real time. They are widely used in bridge safety monitoring, geological disaster warning, and other fields. However, distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems often face the problem of phase wrapping during signal demodulation. This is due to the interferometric measurement principle, which causes the phase information to be periodically truncated within a range of 2π. This restricts the phase value of the original vibration signal to a range between -π and π, making it unable to directly reflect the true vibration amplitude and frequency information. To address this issue, existing technologies primarily rely on traditional mathematical algorithms and model-driven approaches, but these methods have significant limitations in practical applications.

[0005] The core of traditional phase unwrapping techniques is to expand truncated phase values into a continuous domain through mathematical operations. For example, the least squares method (LSM) estimates the unwrapped phase by fitting a polynomial or curve. However, this method is sensitive to noise, particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio environments, where it can easily introduce errors. It also cannot effectively handle the rapid phase jumps found in high-frequency vibration signals. While high-order polynomial fitting can improve fitting accuracy, it requires extensive prior knowledge to set the polynomial order and initial conditions, resulting in high computational complexity and difficulty in real-time processing. This is particularly true in long-haul fiber monitoring, where the exponential growth of data volume further reduces algorithm efficiency. Furthermore, model-based iterative unwrapping methods (such as phase unwrapping algorithms) rely on assumptions about the physical model of the vibration signal. When the actual vibration signal contains complex noise or nonlinear characteristics, model mismatches can lead to cumulative errors, resulting in systematic deviations in the unwrapping results. Some technologies have also attempted to incorporate hardware compensation, such as increasing the sampling frequency or introducing auxiliary reference signals, to alleviate the wrapping problem. However, hardware upgrades increase system costs, and completely eliminating wrapping is still difficult in dynamic environments or long-haul deployments.

[0006] The shortcomings of existing phase unwrapping technologies for distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems are primarily reflected in the following aspects: First, traditional phase unwrapping algorithms lack robustness to noise. This is particularly true in complex environments such as bridges, where factors such as wind vibration, vehicle loads, and ambient temperature fluctuations can introduce multiple noise sources, leading to distortion in the unwrapped phase signal. Second, these methods perform poorly when processing non-stationary vibration signals. The vibration frequency and amplitude of bridge structures vary significantly under different operating conditions, and traditional algorithms struggle to adaptively adjust model parameters, prone to local optimal solutions or unwrapping errors. Furthermore, the conflict between computational efficiency and real-time performance limits the engineering applications of distributed fiber-optic acoustic vibration sensing systems. For example, in long-distance monitoring, traditional algorithms require point-by-point or segmented phase data processing, which cannot meet the real-time alarm requirements of bridge safety monitoring. Furthermore, existing phase unwrapping methods are highly dependent on the initial phase estimate. If the initial value is biased, the subsequent unwrapping process will fail due to error accumulation. This problem is particularly prominent when the fiber routing is complex or there is interference from multiple nodes. Finally, traditional phase unwrapping techniques struggle to simultaneously achieve the desired unwrapping accuracy for different frequency components. Rapid phase changes in high-frequency vibration signals can exceed the algorithm's processing capabilities, while minute phase fluctuations in low-frequency signals are easily masked by noise, limiting overall monitoring performance. These shortcomings make it difficult for existing phase unwrapping techniques to meet the demands for high precision, high real-time performance, and robust environmental adaptability in practical applications. This is particularly true in scenarios like bridges, where safety and reliability are paramount. A new unwrapping solution that overcomes the limitations of traditional methods is urgently needed.

[0007] In the prior art, there is a lack of a phase unwrapping method for distributed optical fiber acoustic vibration with high accuracy and good robustness for ship impact scenarios. Summary of the Invention
