The Guaranteed Detection of the Seismoacoustic Emission Source in the C-OTDR Systems

A method is proposed for stable detection of
seismoacoustic sources in C-OTDR systems that guarantee given
upper bounds for probabilities of type I and type II errors. Properties
of the proposed method are rigorously proved. The results of
practical applications of the proposed method in a real C-OTDRsystem
are presented.
