Abstract: An adaptive nonparametric method is proposed for
stable real-time detection of seismoacoustic sources in multichannel
C-OTDR systems with a significant number of channels. This
method guarantees given upper boundaries 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-OTDR-system are presented in this report.
