Abstract

A distributed optic fiber perimeter security system is proved to be an effective strategy for the security monitoring of some vital targets, such as power plants, power substations and telecommunication base stations. However, this method can hardly distinguish different categories of the intrusion behavior and is easily mis-triggered by different kinds of environmental interference. To distinguish different intrusion patterns and different interference events effectively, a vibration pattern recognition algorithm is proposed and demonstrated based on the merged Sagnac interferometer structure. The method consists of two parts: the pre-processing algorithm and the multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLP-NNs). The pre-processing algorithm is applied to retrieve and extract the vibration signal from the captured source signal, and the MLP-NN is used to realize pattern recognition from each type of input. Typically, a high-dimensional vector group which contains hundreds of orders of vibration signal's power frequency is obtained to cover as many signalized features as possible. Moreover, results of the experiment deployed on a 10 kilometer long perimeter fence in the transformer substation show that the proposed classification-based model achieves 97.6% classification accuracy in the test. Through multiple comparison tests, the proposed model gives a solid performance in the subsequent integrated evaluation to classify each intrusion pattern.
