Abstract:
Methods, systems, and techniques for determining whether an event has occurred from dynamic strain measurements involve determining, using a processor, at least one event parameter from a signal representing the dynamic strain measurements, and then having the processor use the at least one event parameter to determine whether the event has occurred. The at least one event parameter is any one or more of a measure of magnitude of the signal, frequency centroid of the signal, filtered baseline of the signal, harmonic power of the signal, and time-integrated spectrum flux of the signal.

Claim (Index 22):
A system for determining whether an event has occurred from dynamic strain measurements, the system comprising:\n (a) an optical fiber comprising a pair of fiber Bragg gratings tuned to substantially identical center wavelengths, wherein the dynamic strain measurements comprise a strain measurement obtained along a fiber segment between the pair of fiber Bragg gratings; (b) an optical interrogator optically coupled to the optical fiber and configured to optically interrogate the fiber Bragg gratings and to output an electrical signal representing the dynamic strain measurements; and (c) a signal processing unit comprising:\n (i) a processor communicatively coupled to the optical interrogator; and \n (ii) a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the medium has program code stored thereon that is executable by the processor and that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method for determining whether an event has occurred from dynamic strain measurements, the method comprising:\n (1) determining, using a processor, at least one event parameter from a signal representing the dynamic strain measurements, wherein the at least one event parameter is selected from the group comprising a measure of magnitude of the signal, frequency centroid of the signal, filtered baseline of the signal, harmonic power of the signal, and time-integrated spectrum flux of the signal; and \n (2) using the at least one event parameter, using the processor to determine whether the event has occurred.
