  • Publication number: 20220125328
    Abstract: A time feature value calculation apparatus according to an embodiment includes an interpolation unit (182) and a time feature value calculation unit (183). In accordance with a variability tendency of a biological signal exhibited in time-series data of the biological signal resulting from an abnormality value process performed to eliminate an abnormality value from the biological signal in response to an input of the biological signal having periodicity, the interpolation unit interpolates a missing value in the biological signal in the time-series data of the biological signal resulting from the abnormality value process. The time feature value calculation unit calculates a time feature value focusing on the variability tendency of the biological signal measured over an arbitrary time period, from the interpolated time-series data of the biological signal.

    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a vibration detection method, a signal processing device, and a program according to which it is possible to accurately detect vibration physically applied to an optical fiber, using a simple determination reference. In a vibration detection method according to the present invention, scattered light of a given target segment of a measurement target fiber is indicated by vectors of an in-phase component and a quadrature component, and a triangular shape constituted by a near-end-side vector of the target segment and a far-end-side vector is used as a physical amount to be tracked. That is, it is determined whether or not there is vibration based on a change in shape of the triangular shape with respect to a reference state. This is a detection method in which DAS-I and DAS-P are combined, a simple determination reference such as shape change of a triangular shape is employed, and overlooking of vibration detection can be reduced.
