  • DISTRIBUTED ACOUSTIC SENSING (DAS) SYSTEM FOR ACOUSTIC EVENT DETECTION BASED UPON COVARIANCE MATRICES AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20240361175
    Abstract: A distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system may include an optical fiber, a phase-sensitive OTDR (?-OTDR) coupled to the optical fiber, and a processor cooperating with the ?-OTDR. The processor may be configured to generate a series of covariance matrices for DAS data from the ?-OTDR, and determine an acoustic event based upon comparing the series of covariance matrices with a corresponding Toeplitz matrix.
