    Abstract: Systems and methods for utility pole localization employing a DFOS/DAS interrogator located at one end of an optical sensor fiber remotely capture dynamic strains on the optical sensor fiber induced by acoustic events. A captured two-dimensional spatiotemporal map in an ambient noisy environment is analyzed by a trained machine learning model which then automatically detects an area in which a pole is located without requiring domain knowledge. Original DFOS/DAS signals are separated into pole regions and non-pole region time series for machine learning model training. A contrastive loss function measures similarities between low-frequency and high-frequency features. A Gaussian distribution is applied to the original signals to generate weighted labels to eliminate effects of label noise. The machine learning model fuses low-frequency and high-frequency features in the frequency domain for pole region classification. A contrastive loss is combined with cross entropy loss to measure a low-high frequency feature distance.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS)/distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, methods, and structures that employ machine learning and provide for the automatic remote inspection and condition evaluation of wooden utility poles. Operationally, audio (acoustic) signals are obtained using DFOS/DAS when a service technician/inspector strikes the wooden utility poles with an impact tool such as a hammer. Historical audio DFOS/DAS signals that include signals resulting from hollow (decayed) utility poles and solid (good) poles are used to train one or more machine learning models and the trained machine learning models are subsequently used to evaluate real-time impact data collected from DFOS/DAS and determine utility pole condition in real-time.

    Abstract: A testing procedure including a data collection procedure and a contrastive learning-based approach, for establishing a profile for utility poles surveyed in an embedding space. Unique properties of utility poles are preserved in a low-dimensional feature vector. Similarities between pairs of samples collected at the same or different poles is reflected by the Euclidean distance between the pole embeddings. During data collection—variabilities of excitation signals are manually introduced, e.g. impact strength, impact locations, impact time ambiguity, data collecting location ambiguity on a DFOS/DAS optical sensor fiber/cable. Data so collected provides a learned model learned complete information about a utility pole and is more robust with respect to uncontrollable factors during operation. A model training procedure that effectively extracts a utility pole intrinsic properties (e.g., structure integrity, dimensions, structure variety) and remote extrinsic influence (e.g., excitation strength, weather conditions, road traffic), without knowing the ground truth of these factors. The only identifying label required is an ID of any tested poles, which is readily available. The model is trained adaptively—end-to-end—is advantageously easy-to-implement on modern deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and structures that provide superior DFOS rain intensity measurements and introduce a universal solution for rain intensity detection based on the data collected by distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology and a designed domain generalization method. As a result, systems and methods according to the present disclosure distinguish the rain intensity of a large area through which the fiber optic cables traverse and address the domain shift issue, by employing a domain generalization technique based on machine learning technology in which newly collected target domain inference data may be distributed differently from the previously captured training source domain data. To generalize the trained model to different target domains, source domain distributions are enriched by disturbing the distribution in the frequency domain. Algorithms specifically designed to transfer the noise pattern under ambient noise environments are used to further augment the source domain distributions.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and structures providing dynamic line rating (DLR) for overhead transmission lines based on distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS)/distributed temperature sensing (DTS) to determine temperature of the electrical conductors. Environmental conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, and solar radiation data, are collected from environmental sensors and an acoustic modem that convert the digital data collected from the environmental sensors into generated vibration patterns that are subsequently used to vibrationally excite a DFOS optical sensor fiber. The DFOS system monitors the optical sensor fiber and detects, measures, and decodes the vibrational excitations. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) determines a heat transfer correlation between the temperature of the optical sensor fiber and electrical conductor(s) (core temperature).

    Abstract: In sharp contrast to the prior art, a fallen tree detection and localization method based on distributed fiber optical sensing (DFOS) technique and physics informed machine learning is described in which DFOS leverages existing fiber cables that are conventionally installed on the bottom layer of distribution lines and used to provide high-speed communications. The DFOS collects and transmits fallen tree induced vibration data along the length of the entire overhead lines, including distribution lines and transmission lines, where there is a fiber cable deployed. The developed physics-informed neural network model processes the data and localizes the fallen tree location along the lines. The location is interpreted in at least two aspects: the fallen tree location in terms of the fiber cable length; and the exact cable location (power cable or fiber cable) that the fallen tree mechanically impacts.
