Event detection device and event detection method

Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to improve an SN ratio while maintaining a distance resolution and to accurately detect an event occurrence location. An event detection device according to the present disclosure includes: an OTDR waveform acquisition unit that acquires an OTDR waveform of an optical fiber to be measured; a feature quantity extraction unit that performs wavelet transform on the OTDR waveform and generates a scalogram with each wavelet coefficient as a feature quantity; a peak extraction unit that calculates a noise threshold value from the OTDR waveform, and extracts a peak from the feature quantity on the scalogram based on the noise threshold value to generate a peak graph; and an event identification unit that identifies an event in the optical fiber to be measured from the peak graph.
