SNR improvement for Φ-OTDR with improved adaptive non-local means denoising method
An improved adaptive non-local means (NLM) denoising method, called side window NLM (SW-NLM), was proposed in this study. Unlike the centrally symmetric square windows used in traditional NLM filtering, the SW-NLM method utilized rectangular side windows to further improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (-OTDR). Additionally, SW-NLM method incorporated adaptive parameter estimation by calculating the SNR of the filtered traces and optimizing smoothing coefficients and window sizes accordingly. SW-NLM algorithm increased the SNR by up to 45.85 dB, achieving a 25.5% improvement over the NLM filtering while better preserving effective vibration information through the side window technique. Moreover, SW-NLM was applied to dual vibration condition to validate its capability of multipoint detection. This work contributes to enhancing the performance of -OTDR and improving its signal recognition capability.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
