"We certainly have moved from very basic data processing towards event signature identification," he adds. “Acoustic fingerprinting of the event reduces both the latency time and the false alarm rate."

Здравствуйте все,
подскажите, пожалуйста, что в данном контексте значит слово event? Тема в целом для меня незнакомая.

Побольше контекста дам:

"So far, the limit is determined by the application and not the fibre optic sensing technology," he explains.

xxx also says the greatest challenge is the integration of the fibre optic sensor to the structure (umbilical, riser, pipeline) that needs to be monitored, which can only be overcome by working closely with the structure manufacturer.

“Integrating the sensing element upstream in the manufacturing process is key,” he continues. “Leak detection is based on temperature for small leaks and acoustic detection for larger leaks."

Though the fibre, leak detection is based on temperature for small leaks and acoustic detection for larger leaks. Software analyses the temperature and acoustic signature and the system has the ability to identify and discriminate the leak from another event.

"We certainly have moved from very basic data processing towards event signature identification," he adds. “Acoustic fingerprinting of the event reduces both the latency time and the false alarm rate."

When asked if fibre optic sensing would be a replacement for traditional acoustic systems, he says: "As a general comment, we can state that fibre optic is meant to be used in new installations, while acoustic is a little bit easier to install in existing installations. They would then probably coexist for some time."
