Underground Cable Positioning refers to the process of determining and locating the physical position or route of cables that are buried beneath the ground. This is particularly relevant for utility cables such as electrical power cables, telecommunication cables, fiber optic cables, or other types of infrastructure that are installed underground.
To the best of our knowledge, we present the first underground fiber cable position detection methods using distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technology. Meter level localization accuracy is achieved in the results.
