Given that the traditional signal processing methods can not effectively distinguish the different vibration intrusion signal, a feature extraction and recognition method of the vibration information is proposed based on EMD-AWPP and HOSA-SVM, using for high precision signal recognition of distributed fiber optic intrusion detection system. When dealing with different types of vibration, the method firstly utilizes the adaptive wavelet processing algorithm based on empirical mode decomposition effect to reduce the abnormal value influence of sensing signal and improve the accuracy of signal feature extraction. Not only the low frequency part of the signal is decomposed, but also the high frequency part the details of the signal disposed better by time-frequency localization process. Secondly, it uses the bispectrum and bicoherence spectrum to accurately extract the feature vector which contains different types of intrusion vibration. Finally, based on the BPNN reference model, the recognition parameters of SVM after the implementation of the particle swarm optimization can distinguish signals of different intrusion vibration, which endows the identification model stronger adaptive and self-learning ability. It overcomes the shortcomings, such as easy to fall into local optimum. The simulation experiment results showed that this new method can effectively extract the feature vector of sensing information, eliminate the influence of random noise and reduce the effects of outliers for different types of invasion source. The predicted category identifies with the output category and the accurate rate of vibration identification can reach above 95%. So it is better than BPNN recognition algorithm and improves the accuracy of the information analysis effectively.
