Main Objective
This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project will develop a new Fiber-Optic Excavation Monitoring Sensor (FOCOS) system, based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR), machine learning (ML) algorithms, and Internet of Things (IoT) communication. Specifically, the innovative implementation of φ-OTDR in fiber-optics for excavation detection together with ML algorithms, based on convolution neural network (CNN) for data interpolation, provides vibration detection with high spatial resolution, long sensing distance, threat localization/classification, low false alarms, and strong EMI immunity.
