[0002] Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology is a new intelligent sensing method that has developed rapidly in recent years and is widely used in oil and gas pipeline protection, railway state monitoring, border intrusion detection and other scenarios. The DAS system can sense vibration events in the surrounding environment by detecting small changes in scattered signals along the optical fiber.

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0047] In one exemplary embodiment, the present application provides a fiber acoustic event recognition method suitable for event recognition of distributed acoustic sensing signals (DAS signals), which is executed by a computer device with data processing capability, specifically, can be executed by a terminal or a server alone or jointly by a terminal and a server. In the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to a server as an example. The server is electrically connected to a DAS system. As shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step 100: Obtain a time series signal of fiber acoustic waves. The time series signal is obtained by a DAS system. Based on the Rayleigh scattering principle, the DAS system converts the vibration / acoustic wave signals of each point along the fiber into a time series electrical signal by detecting the phase change of backscattered light in the fiber. In this step, the collected time series signal is a continuous signal in the time domain, denoted as wherein, represents a time variable (unit: second). Based on this, the purpose of this step is to obtain the original time series data of fiber acoustic events, thereby providing a data basis for subsequent processing.

[0049] Step 101: Perform wavelet denoising processing on the time series signal.

[0050] Step 102: Convert the denoised time series signal into a multi-modal time series image using a multi-modal feature conversion method.

[0051] Step 103: Perform fusion processing on the multi-modal time series image to obtain an RGB fusion image.

[0052] Step 104: Construct a Transformer-CNN hybrid network.

[0053] Step 105: Input the RGB fusion image into the Transformer-CNN hybrid network to obtain the event recognition result of the fiber acoustic waves.

[0054] By implementing the above steps 100 to 105, the present application converts the original distributed fiber acoustic sensing signals (i.e., the obtained time series signal of fiber acoustic waves) into a plurality of two-dimensional image representations, and then performs RGB image fusion. Using a Transformer-CNN hybrid network, the RGB fusion image is subjected to feature extraction and classification recognition, which can effectively improve the recognition accuracy of complex events in the DAS signal and has good generalization ability and edge deployment performance.

[0055] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the time series signal Generally contains environmental noise (such as electromagnetic interference, fiber inherent noise), need to be denoised by wavelet transform, to eliminate the noise interference in the original signal, improve the accuracy of subsequent feature conversion and signal to noise ratio. Based on this, the implementation process of the above step 101 includes:

[0056] Step 11: Select wavelet basis function , such as Db4 wavelet, has good time-frequency localization characteristics.

[0057] Step 12: Set wavelet transform parameters. Wherein, the scale factor (control the frequency band width of signal decomposition, > 0) and the translation factor (control the time position of signal decomposition, ∈R).

[0058] Step 13: Calculate the wavelet transform coefficient. The calculation formula is:

[0059] .

[0060] In the formula, denotes the conjugate complex of the wavelet basis function . is the wavelet transform coefficient (i.e. the wavelet transform result), which is a complex number, and the modulus reflects the energy of the signal at the scale-time point.

[0061] Step 14: Threshold processing (such as soft threshold method) is performed on the wavelet transform coefficient: the wavelet transform coefficient greater than the threshold value (corresponding to the effective signal) is retained, and the wavelet transform coefficient less than the threshold value (corresponding to the noise) is suppressed.

[0062] The denoised time series signal is reconstructed by wavelet inverse transform, denoted as .

[0063] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, in order to solve the problem that the existing time sequence structure modeling of DAS signal is insufficient and fails to fully mine its dynamic evolution, system regression and trend information, the denoised time series signal is respectively subjected to three kinds of modal feature conversion methods, time-frequency domain joint features are extracted, and three two-dimensional matrix images are generated. Based on this, in the above step 102, the multi-modal feature conversion method adopted includes: short-time Fourier transform, recursive graph conversion and gram matrix analysis. The multi-modal time sequence image includes: time-frequency distribution matrix image, recursive graph and two-dimensional GAF image. Among them:

[0064] Step 21: Perform short-time Fourier transform on the denoised time series signal to obtain a time-frequency distribution matrix image.

[0065] Step 21-1: decompose the denoised time series signal into short-term signals .

[0066] Step 21-2: calculate the Fourier transform of each short-term signal to obtain a time-frequency distribution matrix, and generate a time-frequency distribution matrix image. The calculation formula is:

[0067] .

[0068] wherein, represents a window function, such as a Hamming window, used to limit the window length and balance the time-frequency resolution. represents a time shift parameter, the starting time of the window, with the unit of seconds. represents an angular frequency, =2πf, f is the frequency, with the unit of Hz. represents a time-frequency distribution matrix, with the dimension of time window number x frequency point number, reflecting the energy distribution of the signal in time and frequency. represents an imaginary unit, represents a natural logarithm.

[0069] Step 22: convert the denoised time series signal into a recurrence plot. The recurrence plot visualizes the repeating patterns of the signal by analyzing the similarity of the signal at different times, and is suitable for detecting nonlinear dynamic behavior.

[0070] Step 22-1: determine the phase space vectors of the denoised time series signal. Select the embedding dimension (e.g. =3) and the time delay (e.g. =1 sampling interval) to construct the phase space vector , , , , where N is the signal length.

[0071] Step 22-2: determine the distance matrix of each phase space vector, and perform binaryzation processing on the distance matrix to generate a recurrence plot. The determination formula of the distance matrix is:

[0072] .

[0073] wherein, represents the element of the distance matrix D, , represents the phase space vector at time t, represents the denoised time series signal at time t.

[0074] ​​Set the threshold to Typically, 10% to 30% of the average distance is taken, and the distance matrix is ​​binarized and represented as follows:

[0075] .

[0076] In the formula, This represents the elements of the distance matrix after binarization.

[0077] The final generated recursion graph is represented as follows Among them, white pixels ( ) indicates that the signal is in and The states at different times are similar, black pixels ( ) indicates that the signal is in and They are not similar at different times. This represents the number field. Based on this, by realizing the visualization of the repeatability of signal states, nonlinear time-series features (such as periodic oscillations and abrupt events) can be extracted.

[0078] Step 23: Perform Gram Matrix Analysis (GAF) on the denoised time series signal to obtain a two-dimensional GAF image. Specifically, the Gram angle field transforms the time series signal into a two-dimensional angle / radius field image by constructing a Gram matrix for the signal segment, which is suitable for capturing the local similarity and dynamic changes of the signal.

[0079] Step 23-1: Divide the denoised time series signal into multiple subsequences of equal length. For example, divide the denoised time series signal... Equal-length segments are Subsequences , , The length of the subsequence. The sampling interval is denoted as .

[0080] Step 23-2: Determine the autocorrelation matrix for each subsequence. Specifically, for each subsequence... Calculate its autocorrelation matrix (Dimension:) ), where the autocorrelation matrix elements , indicating the first subsequence in the subsequence and the The product of the sampling points, Indicates the first Subsequence of sampling points, Indicates the first Subsequence of sampling points, This indicates the matrix transpose.

[0081] Step 23-3: Convert the diagonal elements of the autocorrelation matrix into angles to obtain the angle field. Specifically, [the following steps are involved]. diagonal elements Convert to angle (i.e., normalization to) ).

[0082] Step 23-4: Convert the off-diagonal elements in the autocorrelation matrix into radii to obtain the radius field. Specifically, [the following steps are involved]. Convert off-diagonal elements to radius (i.e., normalization to) ).

[0083] Step 23-5: Fuse the angle field and radius field to generate a two-dimensional GAF image. Specifically, the angle field and radius field are superimposed pixel-wise to generate a two-dimensional GAF image, reflecting the similarity distribution within the signal segment (angle represents phase relationship, radius represents amplitude correlation). Based on this, through local similarity analysis of signal segments, the dynamic evolution characteristics of the time-series signal (such as vibration mode switching, energy mutation, etc.) can be extracted.

[0084] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, in order to integrate the feature information of three modalities (time-frequency distribution, repetition pattern, and local similarity) to form a fused image containing richer discriminative information, thereby solving the problem of the one-sidedness of single-modal features, the time-frequency distribution matrix image generated in steps 21 to 23 (denoted as...) can be used. ), recursive graph (denoted as ) and two-dimensional GAF images (denoted as The RGB fused image in step 103 is constructed by fusing along the channel dimension. The specific steps are as follows:

[0085] Step 31: Normalization. Normalize the pixel values ​​of the three matrices to the interval [0,255] or [0,1] respectively (the specific interval can be adjusted according to the input requirements of the Transformer-CNN hybrid network) to ensure that the feature intensity of each modality is consistent.

[0086] Step 32: Channel stitching. The time-frequency distribution matrix is ​​used as the red channel (R), the recursive graph as the green channel (G), and the 2D GAF image as the blue channel (B), and stitched together to form a single RGB image. .in, Image height, This represents the image width.

[0087] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, the constructed Transformer-CNN hybrid network includes five stages, a feature aggregation and dimension reduction (C2PSA) module, and a classifier. The five stages are used for feature processing. Among them, stage 1 includes one convolutional layer and two reverse residual (MBConv) modules. Stages 2 and 3 are the same structure, each including two reverse residual (MBConv) modules, a global-local feature fusion (MobileViT) module, and a C3k2 module. Stages 4 and 5 are the same structure, each including two reverse residual modules and a C3k2 module.

[0088] Based on the structure given above, the pre-trained hybrid neural network model is called in step 104. During model training, image enhancement such as rotation, cropping, random masking, etc. is used, referring to the training process of yolo11 network. Based on this, the implementation process of step 104 is mainly to input the RGB fusion image (size ) generated above into the Transformer-CNN hybrid network, ensure that the pixel value is normalized (such as [0, 1] or [0, 255]) and aligned with the model training, and provide uniform format data for feature extraction.

[0089] The Transformer-CNN hybrid network takes the path of basic extraction→global-local fusion→deep reinforcement, and gradually improves the discriminability of features through module reuse of stage 1→stage 2&3→stage 4&5. Among them:

[0090] Stage 1: Basic feature bottoming (dimension increasing, down sampling).

[0091] The input image (i.e. the RGB fusion image) is first processed by a convolutional layer (Conv) to extract preliminary local features, such as frequency band edge structures in time-frequency distribution matrix, regression contours in recursive graph, etc. Then, two MBConv modules are used for channel dimension increasing and spatial feature enhancement. In the structure of the MBConv module, 1x1 convolution is used for channel adjustment, BatchNorm normalization processing, SiLU activation to enhance expression, and then 3x3 deep convolution is used to extract spatial details.

[0092] Based on this, stage 1 can provide stable bottom-level semantic information and complete a down sampling.

[0093] Stages 2 and 3: Reuse and reinforcement of global and local fusion.

[0094] In stage 2 and stage 3, two consecutive MBConv modules can further refine local features, improve feature clarity and stability, and achieve local enhancement. MobileViT modules build long-range dependencies through the unfolding-Transformer-folding process, strengthen inter-modal connections, and achieve global modeling. C3k2 modules are used for channel and spatial information integration, enhancing network perception range and achieving feature fusion.

[0095] Based on this, stage 2 and stage 3 can achieve more sufficient local-global feature fusion through two times of reuse, and complete one down-sampling in each stage.

[0096] Stage 4 and stage 5: deep feature enhancement and attention focusing.

[0097] In stage 4 and stage 5, two MBConv modules continue to enhance local features, making repetitive patterns in the recursion graph more obvious and achieving detail mining. C3k2 modules automatically filter the feature regions with the strongest event relevance by introducing attention mechanisms, suppress background noise, and achieve discriminative feature purification.

[0098] Based on this, stage 4 and stage 5 achieve primary purification and deep focusing in combination, and each stage down-samples once to output high-recognizability features for the classifier.

[0099] Make classification decisions: map features to events.

[0100] The feature map output by stage 5 is transmitted to the C2PSA module for further purification of discriminative features and compression to a dimension suitable for the input of the classifier.

[0101] Classifier operation: the classifier constructed by the fully connected layer (FC) and the Softmax function maps the high-dimensional feature vector to the probability distribution of event types. For example:

[0102] .

[0103] where, is the predicted score of the i-th event class, is the total number of event classes, is the predicted probability of the i-th event class, is the predicted score of the i-th event class, is the predicted probability of the i-th event class, is the predicted score of the i-th event class, represents the input.

[0104] Based on the above description, the event type corresponding to the maximum probability can be selected as the event recognition result of the fiber acoustic wave, completing the mapping from multi-modal images to signal events.

[0105] ​Further, the Transformer-CNN hybrid network provided in the application can use a cross-entropy loss function for the optimization objective in the training stage, and the specific expression is as follows:

[0106] .

[0107] In the formula, is the cross-entropy loss value, is the one-hot encoding of the true label, is the predicted probability.

[0108] In another exemplary embodiment of the application, the structure of the MBConv module is as shown in Figure 3 It is the core of lightweight convolution, responsible for local spatial feature extraction + channel dimension transformation, and the process is as follows:

[0109] (1) Residual branch judgment.

[0110] If the condition is met (i.e., the input and output channels / size match), the residual connection (i.e., the addition operation) is enabled, allowing the original features to be fused with the processed features to avoid information loss.

[0111] If the condition is not met, the residual is skipped and the features are directly processed.

[0112] (2) Channel transformation and activation.

[0113] 1). 1×1 convolution: dimension increase / dimension decrease (adjust the number of channels to adapt to the subsequent deep convolution).

[0114] 2). Batch normalization (BatchNorm): normalization, accelerate training convergence.

[0115] 3). SiLU activation function: activation function, introduce nonlinearity, enhance feature expression ability.

[0116] (3) Deep convolution to extract spatial details.

[0117] Depthwise separable convolution (Dwise3×3): use a single-channel convolution kernel to traverse the feature map to extract local spatial details (such as frequency blocks of time-frequency graphs, angle patterns of GAF graphs), which greatly reduces the computational complexity.

[0118] (4) Output local features: batch normalization → SiLU activation function → 1×1 convolution (adjust channels) → batch normalization, output enhanced local feature maps to provide spatial detail materials for the MobileViT module. Figure 3 False indicates an error, and True indicates correctness.

[0119] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the structure of the MobileViT module is as shown in Figure 4 It combines convolution and Transformer network to realize local feature re-extraction + global correlation capture, and the process is as follows:

[0120] (1) Local feature re-extraction (convolution part):

[0121] The local feature is first subjected to convolution-3x3 (spatial convolution) and convolution-1x1 (channel adjustment) to extract fine-grained local features again (to supplement the details not covered by MBConv).

[0122] (2) Global correlation construction (Transformer part):

[0123] 1. Expansion (Flatten): flatten the feature map (dimension CxHxW) into a sequence (dimension d x N x P, d is the dimension, N is the sequence length, and P is the number of blocks) to adapt the input of the Transformer network.

[0124] 2. Transformer processing: through multi-head self-attention (Multi-Head Self-Attention), the global dependence relationship of the feature sequence is excavated (such as the correlation of cross-region time-frequency patterns, long-distance interaction of different modal features).

[0125] 3. Folding (Unflatten): convert the sequence output by the Transformer network back to a feature map (dimension restored) to realize the fusion of local details + global correlation.

[0126] (3) Output fusion feature: through convolution-3x3 (integrated fusion feature) and convolution-1x1 (channel adjustment), the global-local fusion feature map is output, which not only retains the spatial details of MBConv, but also integrates the global correlation of the Transformer network.

[0127] The C3k2 module and the C2PSA module adopt the existing structure, so they will not be described here.

[0128] Based on the above description, the method provided by the application is a fiber acoustic event recognition method based on multi-modal time sequence image fusion and Transformer-CNN structure. First, the original time domain DAS signal is denoised by wavelet, and then converted into a three-channel image through short-time Fourier transform (STFT), recurrence plot (RP) and Gramian angular field (GAF) and the like, to capture the time-frequency features, dynamic behavior and overall trend of the signal. Subsequently, a recognition model combining Transformer network and convolution structure is designed for image processing; among them, the Transformer part adopts a lightweight MobileViT structure to enhance the global modeling capability, and the convolution module borrows the improved structure in the YOLO11 network to strengthen the local perception and multi-scale feature extraction capability while keeping the model lightweight.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment, the advantages of the method provided by the application are illustrated by comparison with single-modal recognition, pure Transformer network structure recognition, and end-to-end original signal recognition methods.

[0130] Single-modal recognition method: directly using STFT image or original waveform as input, using traditional CNN (such as ResNet, VGG, etc.) for training and recognition. Although this method is simple in structure, it is difficult to distinguish similar events in a high interference environment due to the lack of inter-modal information collaborative expression.

[0131] Pure Transformer network structure recognition method: using pure ViT (Vision Transformer) architecture to model the time-frequency image, relying on large-scale pre-training to learn global features. Although the global modeling capability is strong, the parameter quantity is large, the training cost is high, and the dependence on data quantity is significant, which is not suitable for resource-limited engineering deployment scenarios.

[0132] End-to-end original signal recognition method: for example, inputting the original DAS time sequence signal into 1D-CNN, RNN or LSTM network for feature learning and event recognition. This method skips the image construction process and simplifies the structure, but the time sequence modeling capability is limited, it is difficult to extract multi-scale spatial semantic features, and the performance is limited.

[0133] The identification method provided by the application: by converting the original optical fiber distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) signal into a plurality of two-dimensional image representations (such as STFT, RP, GAF) respectively, and then performing RGB image fusion. A hybrid neural network model constructed by integrating a Transformer structure (such as MobileViT) and a lightweight convolution structure derived from YOLO11 is used to extract features and classify images, which can effectively improve the recognition accuracy of complex events in the DAS signal and has good generalization ability and edge deployment performance.

[0134] Based on the above description, although there are some alternative solutions that can realize optical fiber acoustic event recognition in the prior art, the identification method based on multi-modal image fusion and Transformer-CNN hybrid structure adopted by the application still has obvious advantages in recognition accuracy, computational efficiency and deployment adaptability. The application realizes the expression of signals in multiple dimensions (frequency domain, time sequence, angle) through multi-modal image coding, solving the problem of insufficient perception of traditional single-modal models. The structure of the lightweight Transformer-CNN hybrid network controls the computational complexity while taking into account local feature extraction and global semantic modeling. The Transformer-CNN hybrid network structure integrates the efficient convolution modules of YOLO11 (such as MBConv modules, C3k2 modules, etc.), which is significantly better than traditional backbone networks such as ResNet. The model as a whole has a modular design, supports different depth pruning and deployment strategies, and is highly practical. Although there are other implementation paths that can complete the basic function of optical fiber acoustic event recognition, the application has comprehensive technical advantages in feature extraction dimension, model structure design, system lightweight and recognition robustness, and is a better solution.

[0135] In summary, compared with existing optical fiber distributed acoustic signal recognition technology, the application has the following significant technical advantages:

[0136] (1) High recognition accuracy, strong multi-modal information collaborative modeling capability.

[0137] By introducing STFT, RP, and GAF three kinds of time series two-dimensional image coding methods, the application effectively preserves the frequency domain changes, time dependence structure and nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the original signal, and then inputs the RGB fusion into the Transformer-CNN hybrid network, which significantly enhances the model's ability to distinguish complex signal patterns. This advantage mainly comes from the design of image conversion and image fusion.

[0138] In the experiment, the fusion image can better distinguish high similarity events (such as construction interference and vibration interference) than a single modality.

[0139] (2) Lightweight design, low computational resource occupation.

[0140] The application comprehensively adopts lightweight convolution modules and compact structure design in the neural network architecture, mainly including:

[0141] The MBConv module in YOLO11 replaces the standard convolution with 1x1 convolution and depth separable convolution, greatly reducing the number of parameters and calculation amount.

[0142] The C3k2 module is efficient in channel and spatial feature fusion and supports fast forward propagation.

[0143] The MobileViT module uses a low-complexity Transformer network to replace the traditional ViT model, combines local convolution and small-size attention window, and balances global modeling capability and inference speed.

[0144] The above design makes the entire Transformer-CNN hybrid network side-deployable, which can run on embedded devices, industrial edge servers or on-site diagnosis terminals, meeting the engineering requirements for energy consumption, storage, response speed and other aspects. The lightweight advantage mainly comes from the neural network structure and the relay design of the modules inside.

[0145] Compared with traditional ResNet, ViT and other networks, the inference speed of the Transformer-CNN hybrid network provided by the application is improved by about 30-50%, and the number of parameters is reduced by more than 50%.

[0146] (3) Robustness, adapt to complex background changes.

[0147] By embedding the MobileViT module into the backbone network, the Transformer mechanism can model non-local dependent relationships in different modal images, effectively adapting to environmental changes, signal occlusion and noise disturbance. The attention mechanism in the C3k2 module further improves the positioning accuracy of abnormal events such as sudden leaks and abnormal vibrations. This effect depends on the module stacking and reuse design from stage 2 to stage 5, which embodies the progressive strategy of local detail enhancement, global semantic modeling and attention focusing.

[0148] (4) Flexible deployment, adapt to multiple scene applications.

[0149] Since the Transformer-CNN hybrid network is side-deployable, and the structure is modular and highly customizable, the depth and width of the feature extraction stage can be adjusted according to the actual scene, supporting multiple fiber acoustic application scenarios such as pipeline leaks, railway intrusions and perimeter protection. The flexible deployment comes from the decoupled design of the CSP structure and the Transformer module, supporting flexible loading and transfer learning on different computing platforms.
