DUPLE: An Intelligent Cross-Deployment Recognition Framework for Fiber-Optic Perimeter Security under Scarce Target Labels

Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) has emerged as a promising technology for long-range and real-time perimeter security in critical infrastructure monitoring. However, DFOS signals collected from different field deployments often exhibit substantial distribution shifts caused by variations in fiber installation, structural coupling, and environmental noise. These deployment-dependent changes make reliable event recognition difficult in practical perimeter security systems, especially when labeled samples from new target sites are scarce or unavailable. To address these challenges, this paper proposes DUPLE, an intelligent cross-deployment recognition framework for fiber-optic perimeter security under label-scarce target deployments. DUPLE employs statistically guided meta-learning to enhance recognition robustness across unseen deployments. Specifically, a dual-domain multi-prototype learner jointly models temporal and frequency-domain evidence to capture intra-class variability under deployment shifts. A statistical guidance network estimates sample-specific domain reliability from raw signal statistics, while a query-aware aggregation mechanism adaptively selects relevant prototypes for each test sample. Extensive experiments on two real-world cross-deployment DFOS benchmarks demonstrate that DUPLE consistently outperforms representative traditional machine learning, deep learning, domain generalization, and meta-learning baselines. Ablation, few-shot, per-deployment, and efficiency analyses further verify the effectiveness and practicality of DUPLE for reliable DFOS-based perimeter security monitoring.
