Robust Intrusion Events Recognition Methodology for Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Perimeter Security System

Accurately detecting man-made intrusion from different events is of great significance for distributed optical fiber sensing perimeter security system. Most traditional algorithms lack the ability to reject various events of unknown class which are mainly from natural disturbance, and greatly decline the accuracy of intrusion recognition in field application. In order to solve this problem, we proposed a novel robust intrusion event recognition scheme based on convolutional prototype network (CPL), which realized end-to-end feature extraction and recognition based on the similarity of intrusion signals by integrating relevant variables of prototype learning into the training process of multiscale convolutional neural network (MSCNN) as trainable parameters, and had the ability to recognize and reject the unknown disturbance events. In field experiments, the average recognition accuracy of intrusion events as known class can reach 84.67%, with the rejection rate of disturbance events as unknown class is about 83.75%, which ensure the accuracy of intrusion events monitoring in complex field environments. And the recognition response time is about 17 ms, which also meets the need of real-time monitoring.
