TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Raman distributed temperature sensor with optical dynamic difference compensation and visual localization technology for tunnel fire detection JO - Sensors (Basel) A1 - Yan, Baoqiang A1 - Li, Jian A1 - Zhang, Mingjiang A1 - Zhang, Jianzhong A1 - Qiao, Lijun A1 - Wang, Tao SP - s19102320 EP - s19102320 VL - 19 IS - 10 N2 - The field of tunnel fire detection requires a Raman distributed temperature sensor (RDTS) with high-accuracy and visual localization. A novel temperature demodulation method to improve the temperature measurement accuracy of the RDTS systems is presented. This method is based on the optical dynamic difference compensation algorithm, which can eliminate the optical power fluctuation. In addition, the visual localization technology is presented by using the longitudinal lining model (LLM) of a three-dimensional (3D) temperature display, which enhances the engineering application of RDTS in tunnel fire detection. Experimental results indicate that the temperature measurement accuracy is optimized from 7.0 °C to 1.9 °C at the sensing distance of 18.27 km by using the presented method. We provide a solution for temperature field monitoring as well as fire visual localization of the tunnel through RDTS systems.
