Acoustic impulsive event recognition over telecom fiber cables

Fiber sensing detects physical parameters such as phase and polarization changes in optical signals. This optical data must be interpreted into human-understandable events and scene information for real-world applications.

We developed applied machine learning and signal processing algorithms that transform low-level sensory inputs into high-level information, providing real-time perception of the physical world.

The solution can be utilized for reconstructing crime scenes and continuously monitoring events such as car alarms triggered by theft, home break-ins, gunshots, and prohibited fireworks, to enhance public safety in smart and secure city applications.
