Call for Abstracts - DAS Signal Processing & ML Session at ASA Philadelphia 2026
Léa Bouffaut
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions for a special session on "Signal Processing and Modeling for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)," which will be part of the 190th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from May 11–15, 2026. This session, organized by Abner Barros and Léa Bouffaut (cc’ed) and co-sponsored by the Signal Processing (SP), Animal Bioacoustics (AB), Ocean Acoustics (OA) technical committees, aims to explore signal processing and machine learning advances for fiber-optic DAS technology.
Session Scope
This session will explore signal processing and machine learning techniques for fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), including sensor and signal models that capture the unique characteristics of distributed fiber sensing, as well as demonstrations of DAS processing across a range of application domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
-
Sensor and signal models for DAS
-
Machine learning approaches for DAS data analysis
-
Signal processing techniques tailored to DAS characteristics
-
Applications demonstrations across multiple domains
-
Challenges and solutions in DAS data analysis
Abstract Submission
Deadline
-
Monday, January 12, 2026
Notifications of acceptance will be provided shortly after the submission deadline.
Note that ASA offers financial subsidies such as:
-
