1 Introduction

China is a country affected bymonsoons significantly Floodsand other natural disasters are often caused for rainy seasonA large number of dikes are built in order to reduce the losscaused by flooding and invasion of storm tide However theintegrity and safety of dike projects are objectively under-mined by crossing culverts and other hydraulic structuresespecially earth-rock junctions [1] The operating experienceof hydraulic structures of dikes indicated that strengthen-ing real-time location and identification of leakage hazardsfor the earth-rock junctions of dike projects (ERJD) hadspecial significances to ensure the safety of entire culvertsand dike projects [2] Research and analysis of high-techleakage monitoring in ERJD have gotten more and moreattention in engineering and academia during improvement

and optimization of traditional monitoring techniques andmethods [3] The temperature tracing technology is a geo-physical technique based on geophysics and it has broadapplication prospects in seepage monitoring [4] Comparedto the traditional leakage monitoring technology such aspiezometer tubes and osmometers the early temperaturetracing technology was more sensitive and effective and hadlower unit acquisition cost However the early temperaturetracing method was still a point-monitoring technology Thesingular area of internal temperature in buildings would notbe detected inevitably because of a large layout spacing ofthermistor thermometers and other reasons [5]

large-scalemonitoring [8 9] In general the use of distributedfiber sensing technology in leakagemonitoring of buildings isstill in its infancy stage for theoretical research experimentalsimulation and engineering application research especiallyfor monitoring the combination between two mediums inERJD The consequent analysis of temperature monitoringdata and processing aspects still needmore studiesThereforean experimental model of ERJD was established and the dis-tributed fiber leakage monitoring technology was developedaccording to the working features of ERJD In-depth studiesof models and methods for leakage identification of ERJDhave important science and engineering applications basedon features of monitoring data

2 Denoising Research of DTS MonitoringData with Wavelet Packet

Wavelet transform method was proposed by Morlet in theearly 1980s and then it changed rapidly to be a very powerfultool for digital signal processing image processing datacompression data denoising and so forth

Wavelet is a breakthrough to Fourier transform analysisIt is a time-frequency analysismethodwith fixedwindow sizeand changeable shape time window and frequency windowLocal features signal can be well characterized in both timedomain and the frequency domain

Its main advantage is the ability to do local refinementand analysis for signal which overcomes the difficulties of notprocessing the nonstationary signals for Fourier transformtechnique and short-time Fourier transform method

During practical applications wavelet transform will dis-perse the stretching factor 119886 and translation factor 120591 in orderto adapt to the computer calculation 119886 takes 1198860

The sampling interval of displacement amount 120591 isΔ120591 = 11988611989501205910

Thus wavelet function is

where 119895 and 119896 are positive integersTaking 119886

0= 2 and 120591

0= 1 in practical operation wavelet

basis function 120601119886120591(119905) can be expressed as follows

120601119895119896 (119905) = 2

minus1198952120601 (2minus119895119905 minus 119896) (2)

Corresponding discrete wavelet transform is

WT119909(119895 119896) = ⟨119909 (119905) 120601

119895119896(119905)⟩ = int

119909 (119905) 120601119895119896(119905)119889119905 (3)

The signal can be decomposed into a high frequencyportion named 119863 and a low frequency part marked 119860by wavelet transformation Compared to the wavelet trans-form wavelet packet decomposition analysis is a moresophisticated approach which well disassembles the highand low frequency parts of each layer simultaneously Itgreatly improves the resolution of signal and overcomes theinsufficient of wavelet decomposition in ldquolow-resolution ofhigh-frequencyrdquoThewavelet packet decomposition hasmorebroad application prospects and the 3-layer wavelet packetdecomposition process was expressed in Figure 1

The denoising procedure of wavelet packet for DTSleakage measurement data is summarized as below

(1) Wavelet packet decomposition Select wavelets anddetermine the decomposition level 119873 then decom-pose 119873-layer wavelet packet for original signal 119878During data processing the wavelet packet decompo-sition level is determined by the wavelet packet noisereduction effect

(2) Thresholds quantization Select the appropriatethreshold quantization method to quantify treatmentfor each wavelet packet coefficients decomposed

(3) Reconstruction of wavelet packet Reconstruct thelow-frequency coefficients of wavelet packet 119873-layerand its corresponding high-frequency coefficients

Among the previous steps the keys are selection of thewavelet packet decomposition level and approach to thethreshold quantization Wavelet packet decomposition levelis generally notmore than 5-layerThe threshold quantizationcan be processed by denoising with the soft threshold andhard threshold method

3 Blind Source Separation Modelsand Methods of DTS TemperatureMonitoring Data

Seepage will lead to a change in the stability temperature fieldin themedia and a partial volatile region can be generated [1011] However the temperature field distribution of structurebody is affected not only by leakage field but also soil char-acteristics natural phenomena optical fiber laying elevationcross artificial cavities and other factors Further the mea-sured value of the optical fiber temperature sensing system isaffected Therefore the temperature field of structure body isa result caused bymultiple-factor under the combined effectsThe positioning of leakage points inside ERJD under nationalcondition can be attributed to the blind source separationproblem for the influence of multiple-factor [12]

Leakages soil characteristics or other factors causingchanges in temperature monitoring data unit have a cor-responding source component which is a function of thedistance between the sampling point and the starting pointSoil characteristics natural phenomena and other factorsshould be possibly separated out of the temperature dataexcept for the leakage factorThe separated data can be a resultof temperature field change only affected by the leakage factoras much as possible And the leakage factor is just the finalconcern

The effects of leakage factor soil characteristics or otherfactors on the measured temperature data can also be con-sidered to be independent units The temperature data inmost regions along fiber are not affected by leakages guttersand other factors which are small probability events on timeand space Based on non-Gaussian distribution and statisticalindependent of the source signal ICA is selected in blindsource separation technique In addition PCA is determinedas a pretreatment method for ICA technique in order toreduce the computational complexity and effective multiple-variable correlation

The key of PCA is the certain degree of relevance andredundancy of information between the variables At thesame time adjacent sampling points have similar work envi-ronment and strong correlation which provide a possibilityto the use of PCA The mathematical model of PCA can beobtained by the following process First a 119901 dimensional

random vector is consisted by 119901 scalars and it is expressed as119883 = (119883

119901)1015840 119901 is defined as an arbitrary number 119883 is

used for orthogonal transformation ordering 119884 = 1198791015840119883 and119879 is orthogonal matrix Each component of 119884 is not relevantand the variance of the first variable of 119884 is the largest thesecond variable coming afterThis process can be representedby the following matrix

The definition of singular value decomposition (SVD) ofPCA can be described 119872 represents a matrix with 119898 rowsand 119899 columns whose elements belong to the field of realnumbers or complex field There is the following decom-position

119872 = 119880119878119881119879 (10)

where 119880 represents a unitary matrix with 119898 times 119898 order andis called left singular matrix of119872 119881 is a unitary matrix with119899 times 119899 order and is named right singular matrix of119872 119881119879 istranspose ofmatrix119881 the same bellow 119878 represents a positivesemidefinite diagonal matrix with119898 times 119899 order and elementson the diagonal matrix are singular values of 119872 which areequal to the square root of eigenvalues of 119872119879 lowast 119872 It isorthogonal matrix as the elements of unitary matrix are realnumbers Relationship between the main component of 119884and monitoring data matrix119883 can be obtained by

119884 = 119883119879 (11)

Thus

119883 = 1198841198791015840 (12)

where matrix of 119879 is constituted by eigenvectors of diagonalmatrix and119883119879119883 is orthogonal matrix

From the theory of SVD it can be obtained that

119883 = 1198801198781198811015840 (13)

Comparing formula (12) with (13) it can be known that119879 = 119881 then 119884 = 119880119878 = 119883119881

Therefore the main component of matrix is the productof left singular matrix and its corresponding singular valuesand is also equal to the product of monitoring data matrixand the right singular matrix The number of principalcomponents can be determined through the cumulativevariance contribution rate Variance contribution rate andcumulative variance contribution rate are described follows

The leakage location was washed by a water pipe and thevelocity of seepage was controlled The monitoring data wasnoted as the stable velocity was formed

For simplicity just one leakage point was introduced inthe model and the sampling distance was 1 m and the sam-pling interval was 2 hours for 5 days Thus each measuringpoint obtained 60 groups of data First the original tempera-ture data should be denoised and a typical point was selectedas an example analyzed After calculation the decompositionlevels of the wavelet packet were 3-layer Figure 6 was shownto compare the raw signal with the wavelet denoising signal

concluded that the contribution of the first principal compo-nent to informationwas largerThe difference of the principalcomponent value between the leakage point presented and

other points was much larger than the one of the first prin-cipal component Therefore the second and third principalcomponents were selected to the next ICA which meant119894 = 2 One of the two principal components was used toconstruct a separate component of the signal space and theother one was made to build a separate part of the salvagespace The difference of the separate component 1 in theleakage point was more evident than the one of other pointswhose distribution was more stable Thereby the separatecomponent 1 was considered to establish a salvage spaceThe separate component 2 constructed a separate componentsignal space The corresponding grey-scale map of residualspace was shown in Figure 8

From the result of data processing it can be known thatthe problem of the optical fiber temperature monitoring datacould be analyzed by the blind source separation and ICAwas used to process data In Figure 8 the leakage area of14m was larger than the area of 32m And the test distanceof the model was less than 32m Therefore the area of 32m

2 Denoising Research of DTS MonitoringData with Wavelet Packet

Wavelet transform method was proposed by Morlet in theearly 1980s and then it changed rapidly to be a very powerfultool for digital signal processing image processing datacompression data denoising and so forth

Wavelet is a breakthrough to Fourier transform analysisIt is a time-frequency analysismethodwith fixedwindow sizeand changeable shape time window and frequency windowLocal features signal can be well characterized in both timedomain and the frequency domain

Its main advantage is the ability to do local refinementand analysis for signal which overcomes the difficulties of notprocessing the nonstationary signals for Fourier transformtechnique and short-time Fourier transform method

During practical applications wavelet transform will dis-perse the stretching factor 119886 and translation factor 120591 in orderto adapt to the computer calculation 119886 takes 1198860

The sampling interval of displacement amount 120591 isΔ120591 = 11988611989501205910

Thus wavelet function is

where 119895 and 119896 are positive integersTaking 119886

basis function 120601119886120591(119905) can be expressed as follows

minus1198952120601 (2minus119895119905 minus 119896) (2)

Corresponding discrete wavelet transform is

WT119909(119895 119896) = ⟨119909 (119905) 120601

119895119896(119905)⟩ = int

119909 (119905) 120601119895119896(119905)119889119905 (3)

The signal can be decomposed into a high frequencyportion named 119863 and a low frequency part marked 119860by wavelet transformation Compared to the wavelet trans-form wavelet packet decomposition analysis is a moresophisticated approach which well disassembles the highand low frequency parts of each layer simultaneously Itgreatly improves the resolution of signal and overcomes theinsufficient of wavelet decomposition in ldquolow-resolution ofhigh-frequencyrdquoThewavelet packet decomposition hasmorebroad application prospects and the 3-layer wavelet packetdecomposition process was expressed in Figure 1

The denoising procedure of wavelet packet for DTSleakage measurement data is summarized as below

(1) Wavelet packet decomposition Select wavelets anddetermine the decomposition level 119873 then decom-pose 119873-layer wavelet packet for original signal 119878During data processing the wavelet packet decompo-sition level is determined by the wavelet packet noisereduction effect

(2) Thresholds quantization Select the appropriatethreshold quantization method to quantify treatmentfor each wavelet packet coefficients decomposed

(3) Reconstruction of wavelet packet Reconstruct thelow-frequency coefficients of wavelet packet 119873-layerand its corresponding high-frequency coefficients

Among the previous steps the keys are selection of thewavelet packet decomposition level and approach to thethreshold quantization Wavelet packet decomposition levelis generally notmore than 5-layerThe threshold quantizationcan be processed by denoising with the soft threshold andhard threshold method

3 Blind Source Separation Modelsand Methods of DTS TemperatureMonitoring Data

Seepage will lead to a change in the stability temperature fieldin themedia and a partial volatile region can be generated [1011] However the temperature field distribution of structurebody is affected not only by leakage field but also soil char-acteristics natural phenomena optical fiber laying elevationcross artificial cavities and other factors Further the mea-sured value of the optical fiber temperature sensing system isaffected Therefore the temperature field of structure body isa result caused bymultiple-factor under the combined effectsThe positioning of leakage points inside ERJD under nationalcondition can be attributed to the blind source separationproblem for the influence of multiple-factor [12]

Leakages soil characteristics or other factors causingchanges in temperature monitoring data unit have a cor-responding source component which is a function of thedistance between the sampling point and the starting pointSoil characteristics natural phenomena and other factorsshould be possibly separated out of the temperature dataexcept for the leakage factorThe separated data can be a resultof temperature field change only affected by the leakage factoras much as possible And the leakage factor is just the finalconcern

The effects of leakage factor soil characteristics or otherfactors on the measured temperature data can also be con-sidered to be independent units The temperature data inmost regions along fiber are not affected by leakages guttersand other factors which are small probability events on timeand space Based on non-Gaussian distribution and statisticalindependent of the source signal ICA is selected in blindsource separation technique In addition PCA is determinedas a pretreatment method for ICA technique in order toreduce the computational complexity and effective multiple-variable correlation

The key of PCA is the certain degree of relevance andredundancy of information between the variables At thesame time adjacent sampling points have similar work envi-ronment and strong correlation which provide a possibilityto the use of PCA The mathematical model of PCA can beobtained by the following process First a 119901 dimensional

random vector is consisted by 119901 scalars and it is expressed as119883 = (119883

1 119883

119901)1015840 119901 is defined as an arbitrary number 119883 is

used for orthogonal transformation ordering 119884 = 1198791015840119883 and119879 is orthogonal matrix Each component of 119884 is not relevantand the variance of the first variable of 119884 is the largest thesecond variable coming afterThis process can be representedby the following matrix

The definition of singular value decomposition (SVD) ofPCA can be described 119872 represents a matrix with 119898 rowsand 119899 columns whose elements belong to the field of realnumbers or complex field There is the following decom-position

119872 = 119880119878119881119879 (10)

where 119880 represents a unitary matrix with 119898 times 119898 order andis called left singular matrix of119872 119881 is a unitary matrix with119899 times 119899 order and is named right singular matrix of119872 119881119879 istranspose ofmatrix119881 the same bellow 119878 represents a positivesemidefinite diagonal matrix with119898 times 119899 order and elementson the diagonal matrix are singular values of 119872 which areequal to the square root of eigenvalues of 119872119879 lowast 119872 It isorthogonal matrix as the elements of unitary matrix are realnumbers Relationship between the main component of 119884and monitoring data matrix119883 can be obtained by

119884 = 119883119879 (11)

Thus

119883 = 1198841198791015840 (12)

where matrix of 119879 is constituted by eigenvectors of diagonalmatrix and119883119879119883 is orthogonal matrix

From the theory of SVD it can be obtained that

119883 = 1198801198781198811015840 (13)

Comparing formula (12) with (13) it can be known that119879 = 119881 then 119884 = 119880119878 = 119883119881

Therefore the main component of matrix is the productof left singular matrix and its corresponding singular valuesand is also equal to the product of monitoring data matrixand the right singular matrix The number of principalcomponents can be determined through the cumulativevariance contribution rate Variance contribution rate andcumulative variance contribution rate are described follows

For simplicity just one leakage point was introduced inthe model and the sampling distance was 1 m and the sam-pling interval was 2 hours for 5 days Thus each measuringpoint obtained 60 groups of data First the original tempera-ture data should be denoised and a typical point was selectedas an example analyzed After calculation the decompositionlevels of the wavelet packet were 3-layer Figure 6 was shownto compare the raw signal with the wavelet denoising signal

3 Blind Source Separation Modelsand Methods of DTS TemperatureMonitoring Data

Seepage will lead to a change in the stability temperature fieldin themedia and a partial volatile region can be generated [1011] However the temperature field distribution of structurebody is affected not only by leakage field but also soil char-acteristics natural phenomena optical fiber laying elevationcross artificial cavities and other factors Further the mea-sured value of the optical fiber temperature sensing system isaffected Therefore the temperature field of structure body isa result caused bymultiple-factor under the combined effectsThe positioning of leakage points inside ERJD under nationalcondition can be attributed to the blind source separationproblem for the influence of multiple-factor [12]

Leakages soil characteristics or other factors causingchanges in temperature monitoring data unit have a cor-responding source component which is a function of thedistance between the sampling point and the starting pointSoil characteristics natural phenomena and other factorsshould be possibly separated out of the temperature dataexcept for the leakage factorThe separated data can be a resultof temperature field change only affected by the leakage factoras much as possible And the leakage factor is just the finalconcern

The effects of leakage factor soil characteristics or otherfactors on the measured temperature data can also be con-sidered to be independent units The temperature data inmost regions along fiber are not affected by leakages guttersand other factors which are small probability events on timeand space Based on non-Gaussian distribution and statisticalindependent of the source signal ICA is selected in blindsource separation technique In addition PCA is determinedas a pretreatment method for ICA technique in order toreduce the computational complexity and effective multiple-variable correlation

The key of PCA is the certain degree of relevance andredundancy of information between the variables At thesame time adjacent sampling points have similar work envi-ronment and strong correlation which provide a possibilityto the use of PCA The mathematical model of PCA can beobtained by the following process First a 119901 dimensional

random vector is consisted by 119901 scalars and it is expressed as119883 = (119883

1 119883

119901)1015840 119901 is defined as an arbitrary number 119883 is

used for orthogonal transformation ordering 119884 = 1198791015840119883 and119879 is orthogonal matrix Each component of 119884 is not relevantand the variance of the first variable of 119884 is the largest thesecond variable coming afterThis process can be representedby the following matrix

The definition of singular value decomposition (SVD) ofPCA can be described 119872 represents a matrix with 119898 rowsand 119899 columns whose elements belong to the field of realnumbers or complex field There is the following decom-position

119872 = 119880119878119881119879 (10)

where 119880 represents a unitary matrix with 119898 times 119898 order andis called left singular matrix of119872 119881 is a unitary matrix with119899 times 119899 order and is named right singular matrix of119872 119881119879 istranspose ofmatrix119881 the same bellow 119878 represents a positivesemidefinite diagonal matrix with119898 times 119899 order and elementson the diagonal matrix are singular values of 119872 which areequal to the square root of eigenvalues of 119872119879 lowast 119872 It isorthogonal matrix as the elements of unitary matrix are realnumbers Relationship between the main component of 119884and monitoring data matrix119883 can be obtained by

119884 = 119883119879 (11)

Thus

119883 = 1198841198791015840 (12)

where matrix of 119879 is constituted by eigenvectors of diagonalmatrix and119883119879119883 is orthogonal matrix

From the theory of SVD it can be obtained that

119883 = 1198801198781198811015840 (13)

Comparing formula (12) with (13) it can be known that119879 = 119881 then 119884 = 119880119878 = 119883119881

Therefore the main component of matrix is the productof left singular matrix and its corresponding singular valuesand is also equal to the product of monitoring data matrixand the right singular matrix The number of principalcomponents can be determined through the cumulativevariance contribution rate Variance contribution rate andcumulative variance contribution rate are described follows

The leakage location was washed by a water pipe and thevelocity of seepage was controlled The monitoring data wasnoted as the stable velocity was formed

For simplicity just one leakage point was introduced inthe model and the sampling distance was 1 m and the sam-pling interval was 2 hours for 5 days Thus each measuringpoint obtained 60 groups of data First the original tempera-ture data should be denoised and a typical point was selectedas an example analyzed After calculation the decompositionlevels of the wavelet packet were 3-layer Figure 6 was shownto compare the raw signal with the wavelet denoising signal

4 Application Case Analyses

A model experiment platform was formed and shown inFigure 2 to simulate the existence of leakages for ERJD TheDTS monitoring system of Sentinel DTS-LR produced bySensornet was applied The DTS monitoring and heatingsystem was shown in Figure 3 A schematic diagram of themodel was given in Figure 4 Multimode four core armoredcable of 50125 um was used as the monitoring optical cablewith a type of ZTT-GYXTW-4A1a

TheZTT-GYXTW-4A1a was a special optical cable whichcould be used to be heated And its structure section wasdrawn in Figure 5

The leakage location was washed by a water pipe and thevelocity of seepage was controlled The monitoring data wasnoted as the stable velocity was formed

For simplicity just one leakage point was introduced inthe model and the sampling distance was 1 m and the sam-pling interval was 2 hours for 5 days Thus each measuringpoint obtained 60 groups of data First the original tempera-ture data should be denoised and a typical point was selectedas an example analyzed After calculation the decompositionlevels of the wavelet packet were 3-layer Figure 6 was shownto compare the raw signal with the wavelet denoising signal

The first principal component was calculated and listed inFigure 7

The corresponding variance contribution rate of the firstprincipal component 120590

1sum120590 was 8721 and it could be

concluded that the contribution of the first principal compo-nent to informationwas largerThe difference of the principalcomponent value between the leakage point presented and

From the result of data processing it can be known thatthe problem of the optical fiber temperature monitoring datacould be analyzed by the blind source separation and ICAwas used to process data In Figure 8 the leakage area of14m was larger than the area of 32m And the test distanceof the model was less than 32m Therefore the area of 32m
