Improved Variational Mode Decomposition in Pipeline Leakage Detection at the Oil Gas Chemical Terminals Based on Distributed Optical Fiber Acoustic Sensing System by Hongxuan Xu, Jiancun Zuo, Teng Wang

“…This paper employs a distributed fiber optic sensing system to collect pipeline leakage signals and processes these signals using the traditional variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm. While traditional VMD methods require manual parameter setting, which can lead to suboptimal decomposition results if parameters are incorrectly chosen, our proposed method introduces an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to automatically determine the optimal parameters. …”
