Abstract

Noise in the optical fiber sensing system, produced in laser, transmission, demodulation and environment, reduces the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and the measuring accuracy of the whole system . In this paper, a statistical approach based on Kalman-filter is undertaken to removal noise of the measured object real time, and then to improve the accuracy of the fiber sensing system. The temperature induced by fiber sensing is modeled as a discrete-time state variable by a Gauss-Markov random process with the Gaussian white and additive noise in the linear dynamic system. Based on Bayesian MAP Inference and minimum mean-square error criterion (MMSE), gain of the kalman-filter and the state error covariance can be regulated by Measurement Update equations to correct posteriori state estimate. Such recursive algorithm can finally get the optimum estimator of the state through time. The performances of the model and the algorithm are investigated in the DOFS temperature sensing system. Variance is used to evaluate its performance in noise removal. At the same time, the experimental results of the method proposed is compared with original measurement data analysis. The algorithm performs more improvement in accuracy of the fiber sensing system, and implements the real-time measurement.
