RELSEN
RELSEN is an audio-seismic event detection, geolocation and classification system using fiber-optic channel as a sensor (FOS). FOS is placed in a fiber-optic cable, installed along the object of monitoring.Unique features of RELSEN:
- Detection of "very quiet" events due to the high system sensitivity.
- Revelation of events in so-called dark zones of the sensor due to a phenomenal attenuation compensation solution.
- Accurate geolocation of events with accuracy down to 17 cm.
- Exact event classification.

Infrared energy stream
Our approach based on the use of the high vibrosensitivity of the infrared energy stream injected into ordinary optical fiber (buried in the ground near the monitoring object) by means of semiconductor laser of low power.This optical fiber will be called a fiber optic sensor (FOS). Typically FOS length is 40-50 km. In the systems of this class, all relevant information is transferred to Processing Center (PC) by the optical fiber, which is not only a sensor (FOS) but at the same time an effective and reliable channel for ordinary data transmission.

Speckle images
When a pulse is moving along the optical fiber, the Rayleigh elastic backscattering is realized on its natural irregularities (impurities), which due to high coherence of the used laser of 3B class leads to formation of the so-called stable interference structures of chaotic type, otherwise called speckles or speckle images.A sequence of speckles is received in the point of emanation using an ordinary welded coupler or a circulator. The central moment of the concept is the phenomenon that any seismic vibration arising on the surface of the optical fiber due to propagation of seismoacoustic waves from the sources of elastic oscillations, changes its local refractive index. Changes of the local refractive index are reflected in the time-and-frequency structure (TFS) of the respective speckle.

Data Analysis
RELSEN data analysis software is using a unique set of algorithms and mathematical methods of data processing allowing not only to reliably determine the target, but also its type and areas of origin. The use of special parametric representation of signals, achieved through multi-level processing of monitoring data, helps to effectively solve a number of problems, the solution of which at present is not available in currently used similar C-OTDR based monitoring systems. RELSEN software uses a unique high-dimensional feature space methodology to achieve high classification efficiency.Classification examples:
- Railway installation: 98% recognition of the train type (freight, passenger, electric train, locomotive, etc.) within 5 seconds period.
- Perimeter monitoring system: Classifies groups by number of pedestrians with 99% probability; The difference between walking and crawling persons with a 100% probability.
