For subsea cable operators, this provides a practical, label-free method to detect cable contacts with high precision, though it is domain-specific.
The paper presents a fully unsupervised detector for physical contacts on subsea cables using State-of-Polarization monitoring, achieving ranking of all five confirmed trawler contacts within the top 13 of 122,174 recordings and surfacing additional corroborated events.
We present a fully unsupervised Fast-Slow DSVDD detector for continuous State-of-Polarization monitoring on a deployed subsea cable. Trained without event labels, it ranks all five confirmed trawler contacts within the top 13 of 122,174 recordings and surfaces additional corroborated cable-contact events.
