Publication number: 20200256834Abstract: A system for processing acoustic data to identify an event includes a receiver unit including a processor and a memory. The receiver unit is configured to receive a signal from a sensor disposed along a sensor path or across a sensor area. A processing application is stored in the memory. The processing application, when executed on the processor, configures the processor to: receive the signal from the sensor, where the signal includes an indication of an acoustic signal received at one or more lengths along the sensor path or across a portion of the sensor area and the signal is indicative of the acoustic signal across a frequency spectrum; determine a plurality of frequency domain features of the signal across the frequency spectrum; and generate an output comprising the plurality of frequency domain features.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: BP Exploration Operating Company LimitedInventors: Tommy LANGNES, Pradyumna THIRUVENKATANATHAN
