Abstract

To solve the problems of a few optical fibre line fault samples and the inefficiency of manual communication optical fibre fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a communication optical fibre fault diagnosis model based on variational modal decomposition (VMD), fuzzy entropy (FE) and fuzzy clustering (FC). Firstly, based on the OTDR curve data collected in the field, VMD is used to extract the different modal components (IMF) of the original signal and calculate the fuzzy entropy (FE) values of different components to characterize the subtle differences between them. The fuzzy entropy of each curve is used as the feature vector, which in turn constructs the communication optical fibre feature vector matrix, and the fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to achieve fault diagnosis of faulty optical fibre. The VMD-FE combination can extract subtle differences in features, and the fuzzy clustering algorithm does not require sample training. The experimental results show that the model in this paper has high accuracy and is relevant to the maintenance of communication optical fibre when compared with existing feature extraction models and traditional machine learning models.
