Claim:
1. A method for identifying the source of seismic or acoustic signals of interest originating with moving motorized vehicles, comprising: providing a processing chain coupled to receive signal data from a sensor device which receives the seismic or acoustic signals, the processing chain including: the method including: identifying in the detection stage the presence of seismic or acoustic signals from multiple moving motorized vehicles emerging from the background over time, in the signal characterization stage, characterizing the seismic or acoustic signals identified from each of the multiple moving motorized vehicles in the detection stage as a function of time or frequency; and in the classification stage, forming a decision about a classification identity of the source of the seismic or acoustic signals identified from each of the vehicles, characterized as a function of time or frequency, among multiple types of moving motorized vehicles.
