Research on 3D Shape Monitoring System of Submarine Cable

Abstract

Submarine cables have been used for more than one hundred years, while they have been widely used in recent decades. Safety has always been an issue with submarine cable applications because of their fast expansion. Submarine cables are more susceptible to operational risks and failure than terrestrial cables. Once the submarine cable malfunctions, it will bring huge inconvenience to production and life, which will cause huge economic losses. Therefore, it is very necessary to quickly locate the fault point of the cable and complete the emergency repair work. This article provides a 3D monitoring method for submarine cables, with a simulation monitoring system built in the laboratory to verify the method's feasibility.
