Wavelet Decomposition Layer Selection for the <i>φ</i>-OTDR Signal

The choice of wavelet decomposition layer (DL) not only affects the denoising quality of wavelet denoising (WD), but also limits the denoising efficiency, especially when dealing with real phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org...

description The choice of wavelet decomposition layer (DL) not only affects the denoising quality of wavelet denoising (WD), but also limits the denoising efficiency, especially when dealing with real phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-OTDR) signals with complex signal characteristics and different noise distributions. In this paper, a straightforward adaptive DL selection method is introduced, which dose not require known noise and clean signals, but relies on the similarity between the probability density function (PDF) of method noise (MN) and the PDF of Gaussian white noise. Validation is carried out using hypothetical noise signals and measured <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-OTDR vibration signals by comparison with conventional metrics, such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM). The proposed wavelet DL selection method contributes to the fast processing of distributed fiber optic sensing signals and further improves the system performance.
