Wavelet Denoising Method based on Improved FOX Algorithm in OTDR System
In traditional Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
the processing of signal denoising relies on the cumulative average method. The method is effective but the consumption of time resources increases exponentially with the increase of demand. Aiming at the higher requirement of signal denoising effect and time efficiency of new OTDR equipment
this paper proposes a wavelet denoising method based on improved FOX optimization algorithm.
Methods
2
The method proposed in this paper combines the improved FOX optimization algorithm with wavelet threshold denoising. Therefore
the wavelet threshold denoising can remove the uncertainty caused by a large number of parameters. Moreover
its parameters can be flexibly configured for signals with distinct characteristics
thereby facilitating practical deployment. In this paper
an improved adaptive FOX optimization algorithm is designed
and an adaptive factor is added to the random search stage of the original algorithm
resulting in better random search ability and ensuring convergence performance. The improved algorithm is tested by the test function set and the significance test
which verifies that the improved algorithm has better optimization performance than the original algorithm. Furthermore
the improved algorithm combined with wavelet threshold denoising method is applied to simulations and actual measurement experiments of OTDR signals.
Results
2
The simulation results show that compared with the traditional genetic algorithm and the original FOX algorithm
the proposed FOX algorithm increased the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) by 16.10% and 4.25%
and decreased by 16.30% and 4.97%
respectively. Compared with the original signal
the SNR of the denoised signal has increased by 3.187 dB and the RMSE has decreased by 0.272 6. In the actual data experiment
compared with the original signal
the SNR improved by 2.376 dB and don't fall into the local optimal solution of 2.368 dB
and the average processing time is 19.56 s. The results are better than the two comparison algorithms
and the parameter setting schemes are obtained.
Conclusion
2
The wavelet denoising method based on the improved FOX optimization algorithm proposed in this paper optimizes the parameter setting process
significantly improves the denoising performance
and provides a new solution for the signal processing of OTDR equipment and other application scenarios.
