Abstract: Disclosed is a stroke-based differentiable rendering for both representation of spatiotemporal sensor data and unsupervised spatiotemporal events detection wherein we encode DAS waterfall data into a structured latent space based on parameterized brushstrokes. The structured brushstroke representation can (1) suppress background noise and distracting clutters from the original waterfall data, (2) allow easy leverage of geometrical prior knowledge for physics-informed pattern recognition. Guided by multiple specially designed targets that emphasize different aspects of the original data, the optimized strokes not only preserve the salient information, but also align well with the original data in terms of spatial and temporal coordinates. As a results, it also provides pixel-level annotation as a byproduct. Based on long term DFOS data and cumulative statistics, we can further localize landmarks (such as traffic lights, manholes, etc.) from the waterfall data. These landmarks can be used for cable mapping.
