    Abstract: A distributed acoustic sensing ( DAS) method that utilizes a differential phase to detect phase change(s) between two locations of a DAS sensing fiber to ascertain vibrational / acoustic activities / environment at intermediary fiber location(s) between the two locations. Additionally, a fiber coil comprising a segment of fiber wrapped in acoustic sensitive material ("acoustic signal collector") wherein the material responds to an acoustic signal, which results in strain(s) applied to the fiber. Rather than using a measured phase difference between the two ends of the fiber coil, we utilize all samples collected from one end of the fiber coil to the other end of the fiber coil. Every two samples covering a partial or an entire section of the fiber coil are used as a pair to determine a phase difference and the results from all the pairs are averaged to form one output exhibiting a reduced noise level.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods. and structures for vibration detection using phase recovered from an optical transponder with coherent detection. Advantageously, our systems, methods, and structures leverage contemporary digital coherent receiver architecture in which various adaptive DSP operations performed to recover transmitted data track optical phase. The phase is extracted at low overhead cost, allowing a digital coherent transponder to perform vibration detection / monitoring as an auxiliary function to data transmission. Demonstration of vibration detection and localization based on the extraction of optical phase from payload-carrying telecommunications signal using a coherent receiver in a bidirectional WDM transmission system is shown and described.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures that provide action recognition with high-order interaction with spatio-temporal object tracking. Image and object features are organized into tracks, which advantageously facilitates many possible learnable embeddings and intra/inter-track interaction(s). Operationally, our systems, method, and structures according to the present disclosure employ an efficient high-order interaction model to learn embeddings and intra/inter object track interaction across the space and time for AR. Each frame is detected by an object detector to locate visual objects. Those objects are linked through time to form object tracks. The object tracks are then organized and combined with the embeddings as the input to our model. The model is trained to generate representative embeddings and discriminative video features through high-order interaction which is formulated as an efficient matrix operation without iterative processing delay.
