A Compressed Sampling and Dictionary Learning Framework for WDM-Based Distributed Fiber Sensing
We propose a compressed sampling and dictionary learning framework for
fiber-optic sensing using wavelength-tunable lasers. A redundant dictionary is
generated from a model for the reflected sensor signal. Imperfect prior
knowledge is considered in terms of uncertain local and global parameters. To
estimate a sparse representation and the dictionary parameters, we present an
alternating minimization algorithm that is equipped with a pre-processing
routine to handle dictionary coherence. The support of the obtained sparse
signal indicates the reflection delays, which can be used to measure
impairments along the sensing fiber. The performance is evaluated by
simulations and experimental data for a fiber sensor system with common core
architecture.Comment: Accepted for publication in Journal of the Optical Society of America

SimpleTrack:Adaptive Trajectory Compression with Deterministic Projection Matrix for Mobile Sensor Networks
Some mobile sensor network applications require the sensor nodes to transfer
their trajectories to a data sink. This paper proposes an adaptive trajectory
(lossy) compression algorithm based on compressive sensing. The algorithm has
two innovative elements. First, we propose a method to compute a deterministic
projection matrix from a learnt dictionary. Second, we propose a method for the
mobile nodes to adaptively predict the number of projections needed based on
the speed of the mobile nodes. Extensive evaluation of the proposed algorithm
using 6 datasets shows that our proposed algorithm can achieve sub-metre
accuracy. In addition, our method of computing projection matrices outperforms
two existing methods. Finally, comparison of our algorithm against a
state-of-the-art trajectory compression algorithm show that our algorithm can
reduce the error by 10-60 cm for the same compression ratio
