The invention relates to the technical field of
submarine cable positioning, in particular to a
submarine cable full-
route automatic positioning method based on distributed
optical fiber sound wave sensing, which comprises the following steps of: connecting a DAS demodulator with
submarine cable optical fibers to form a sensing array, collecting passive acoustic
noise generated by ship navigation and demodulating the passive acoustic
noise into a vibration
signal; acquiring position coordinates of the corresponding ship from the public AIS
database; calculating a pseudo
azimuth angle of each
ship noise by adopting a beam forming
algorithm based on the vibration
signal; constructing a geometric model among the pseudo
azimuth angle, the ship coordinates and
submarine cable point position parameters; for a
submarine cable point, multiple groups of pseudo
azimuth angle data are accumulated to form a
data vector, iterative inversion is carried out by adopting a damping least square method, and the coordinate and the azimuth angle of the point are solved; and repeating the process to determine parameters of each key position point of the
submarine cable, and obtaining a complete
route through linear interpolation. According to the invention, the passive sound source and the public AIS data are utilized, active emission, precise time service and complex marine work are avoided, and efficient and low-cost submarine cable full-
route positioning is realized.
