Possible Prior Art
There may be existing technologies or methods used in industries like telecommunications or structural health monitoring that involve analyzing signals along optical fibers for event detection. However, specific prior art would need to be researched to determine any overlap with the described technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between different types of events detected along the optical fiber?
The abstract does not specify how the apparatus distinguishes between various types of events based on the similarity of signals at adjacent points.
What is the processing time required for the apparatus to detect events along the entire length of the optical fiber?
The abstract does not mention the processing speed or efficiency of the apparatus in analyzing signals measured at multiple points along the optical fiber.
Original Abstract Submitted
A signal processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire signals measured by a signal measurement apparatus at a plurality of points located along an optical fiber; and determine whether there is an event based on a degree of similarity between the signals measured at points adjacent points.
