Abstract
An optical fiber sensing system according to the present disclosure includes an optical fiber (10) that detects vibration, a detection unit (21) that detects occurrence of a predetermined event, based on an optical signal on which vibration detected by the optical fiber (10) is superimposed, an identification unit (22) that identifies an occurrence location of the predetermined event, based on the optical signal, and identifies a movement destination area serving as a moving destination of an unmanned aerial vehicle that monitors an occurrence location of the predetermined event, based on an occurrence location of the predetermined event, and a control unit (23) that controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the movement destination area.
Claims9
An optical fiber sensor comprising:
- an optical fiber configured to detect vibration;
- a detection unit configured to detect an occurrence of a predetermined event using a scattered light on which vibration detected by the optical fiber is superimposed;
- an identification unit configured to identify an occurrence location of the predetermined event, using the scattered light, and to identify a movement destination area serving as a movement destination of an unmanned aerial vehicle configured to monitor the occurrence location of the predetermined event using the occurrence location of the predetermined event;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the movement destination area,
- wherein the identification unit is configured to determine a monitor for monitoring the occurrence location of the predetermined event, and
- wherein the identification unit is configured to determine a number of unmanned aerial vehicles using a vibration pattern of the scattered light, if the unmanned aerial vehicle is determined as the monitor.
Optical fiber sensing equipment comprising:
- an optical fiber configured to detect vibration;
