For the dry subsystem, the transmitting transducer and the receiving transducer need to be replaced by a loudspeaker and a microphone respectively.

In the invention, the signal processing flow comprises the following steps:

1. transmitting a signal: in order to improve the success rate of detection and reduce the false alarm rate and the false alarm rate, a mode of circularly transmitting and receiving a plurality of frequency points is adopted.

Let the starting point of the frequency of the acoustic signal be f₁If the frequency interval is Δ f and the number of available frequency points is M, then a signal is transmitted at the transmitting end:

2. receiving signals: when the pipelines are communicated, signal receiving is carried out at the receiving end of the pipeline, the received signal is convolution of a transmitting signal and a pipeline channel system, and the receiving signal can be understood as delayed receiving, amplitude reduction, noise superposition and the like of the transmitting signal in a static state. Namely:

where R represents the acoustic propagation distance between two measurement points, c represents the speed of sound (e.g., 340m/s in air and 1500m/s in water), α represents the channel attenuation, and n represents random noise.

3. Signal processing: the acoustic signal is segmented, and the segmentation time of the acoustic signal is assumed to be delta t, (time length, unit s), and sampling rate f_sIf the segmentation point of the acoustic signal is N ═ f_s·Δt。

The N-point sound signal is fourier-transformed, and the result of the transformation is E (k × Δ f), where Δ f is the frequency sampling rate, and Δ f is Fs/(N-1).

After Fourier transformation is carried out in each period, a row vector is formed, continuous sending and collection are carried out, continuous row vectors are formed, a plurality of row vectors are arranged to form a matrix, namely a characteristic matrix D of the system, the characteristic matrix D is calculated, and when characteristic spectral lines appear, pipeline communication can be judged; if the characteristic spectral line does not appear, the pipeline is not communicated.

As shown in fig. 4, a characteristic spectrum diagram of the received signal with 5 frequency points and 2 periods is given, and the good communication state of the pipeline can be judged through the characteristic spectrum diagram.
