Abstract

Distributed optical fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) is promising for long-distance intrusion-anomaly detection tasks. However, realistic settings suffer from high-intensity interference noise, compromising the detection performance of DAS systems. To address this issue, we propose STNet, an intrusion detection network based on the Stockwell transform (S-transform), for DAS systems, considering the advantages of the S-transform in terms of noise resistance and ability to detect disturbances. Specifically, the signal detected by a DAS system is divided into space-time data matrices using a sliding window. Subsequently, the S-transform extracts the time-frequency features channel by channel. The extracted features are combined into a multi-channel time-frequency feature matrix and presented to STNet. Finally, a non-maximum suppression algorithm (NMS), suitable for locating intrusions, is used for the post-processing of the detection results. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were conducted using a realistic high-speed railway environment with high-intensity noise. The experimental results validated the satisfactory performance of the proposed method. Thus, the proposed method offers an effective solution for achieving high intrusion detection rates and low false alarm rates in complex environments.
