For the first time, we demonstrate remote sensing of pole-mounted fuse-cutout blowing in a power grid setup using telecom fiber cable. The proposed frequency-based AI model achieves over 98% detection accuracy using distributed fiber sensing data.
Our optical networking & sending team has arrived in Frankfurt for the 2024 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) and is excited to present many papers and tutorials this week. Please follow this page and on our social media channels for updates.
The various sensing technologies such as cameras LiDAR radar and satellites with advanced machine learning models offers a comprehensive approach to environmental perception and understanding. This paper introduces an innovative Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology utilizing the existing
We introduce two pioneering applications leveraging Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies. These innovations offer substantial benefits forfortifying telecom infrastructures and public safety. By harnessing existing telecom cables, our solutions excel in perimeter
Our team will be attending CVPR 2024 (The IEEE /CVF Conference on Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition) from June 17-21! See you there at the NEC Labs America Booth 1716! Stay tuned for more information about our participation.
Falling trees or their limbs can cause power lines to break or sag, sometimes resulting in devastating wildfires. Conventional protections such as circuit breakers, overcurrent relays and automatic circuit reclosers may clear short circuits caused by tree contact, but they may not detect cases where
We present the field trial of an innovative neural network and DAS-based technique, employing a pre-trained CNN fine-tuning strategy for effective rain detection and classification within two practical scenarios.
Utility pole detection and localization is the most fundamental application in aerial-optic cables using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). The existing pole localization method recognizes the hammer knock signal on DAS traces by learning from knocking vibration patterns. However, it requires many efforts
This paper presents a multi-sensor feature fusion (MSFF) neural network comprised of two inception layer-type multiple channel feature fusion (MCFF) networks for both inner-sensor and cross-sensor feature fusion in conjunction with a deep residual neural network (ResNet) for accurate grease life assessment
We review sensing fusion results of integrating fiber sensing with video for machine-learning-based localization and classification of impulsive acoustic event detection. Classification accuracy >97% was achieved on aerial coils, and >99% using fiber-based signal enhancers.
This paper presents a deep learning-based framework to detect and localize the pedestrians’ anomaly behaviors in videos captured at the grade crossing. A skeleton detection and tracking algorithm are employed to capture the key point trajectories of body movements of the pedestrians. A deep recurrent
For the first time, we demonstrate detection and classification of rain intensity using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). An artificial neural network was applied for rain intensity classification and high precision of over 96% was achieved.
We report distributed-fiber-optic-sensing results on impulsive acoustic events localization/classification over telecom networks. A deep-learning-based model was trained to classify starter-gun and fireworks signatures with high accuracy of > 99% using fiber-based-signal-enhancer and >97% using aerial
