News and announcements are less than noise and more opportunities: Russian scientists have proposed to explore the life of plants and insects using sound photon sensors less noise and more opportunities: Russian scientists have proposed to explore the life of plants and insects using sound photon sensors for this can be used by specialized distributed sensors that acts as a microphone at different frequencies near the fiber sensor.
Scientists from the subordinate Ministry of Education and Science of Russia of the Perm Federal Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences proposed new digital signaling algorithms received from photon sensors, due to which the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensors are increased.
A request for simple and affordable devices for analyzing sound signals appeared in the agrarian sphere, where it is necessary to conduct acoustic monitoring of plants, pests and, conversely, those insects that bring to a person and nature benefits. As for insects, for example, pests, then acoustic monitoring allows you to fix their activity in cases where direct visual control is impossible, ”said Artem Turov, a junior researcher at the agricultural foom of the Perm Research Institute of Agriculture of the PFI RAS RAS.
Sensitive elements of such photon systems are the finest optical fiber, each point of which acts as a microphone that can capture vibrations at different frequencies near the sensor. The scientists faced the task of studying the possibilities of using a photon element base that would make a distributed acoustic monitoring with an accessible tool, including to solve agricultural and biology problems.
The scientific team from the PFIC of the RAS RAS managed to optimize the system of survey of the distributed sensor, having achieved a significant suppression of noise when transmitting signals and making the system itself significantly cheaper than modern analogues.
Of course, such studies are conducted in different countries of the world, but quite often foreign colleagues choose the return path - complicating the system, ”explained Yuri Konstantinov, head of the Laboratory of the PFIC RAS RAS. Now the scientific team is conducting a series of additional laboratory tests. In the next two years, scientists plan to develop a version of the system for field research and test photon sensors in real conditions.
The results of a study carried out with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science are published in an international journal.
