The invention discloses a distributed OFDR sensing
signal demodulation method and
system based on local
ridge line tracking, relates to the technical field of
optical fiber sensing, and is used for solving the problem that a traditional cross-correlation
algorithm is difficult to consider robustness and real-time performance at the same time. The method comprises the following steps: respectively
processing a reference beat frequency
signal of a sensing
optical fiber to be measured in a strain-
free state and a measurement beat frequency
signal of the sensing
optical fiber to be measured in a strain state to obtain a reference complex
Rayleigh scattering signal and a measurement complex
Rayleigh scattering signal containing a plurality of sensing positions along the optical
fiber; calculating a cross-
correlation function based on the two signals; stacking the cross-correlation functions corresponding to all sensing positions along a distance domain, and constructing a two-dimensional cross-correlation thermodynamic diagram matrix; performing filtering
processing and weighting
processing on the two-dimensional cross-correlation thermodynamic diagram matrix to obtain an optimal
frequency drift distance; and demodulating based on the optimal
frequency drift amount to obtain strain distributed along the to-be-measured sensing optical
fiber. According to the invention, high-robustness and rapid
demodulation of the signal in an application scene with extremely high real-time requirement can be realized.
