With the development of streaming data processing technology, real-time event monitoring and querying has become a hot issue in this field. In this article, an investigation based on coal mine disaster events is carried out, and a new anti-aliasing model for abnormal events is proposed, as well as a multistage identification method. Coal mine micro-seismic signal is of great importance in the investigation of vibration characteristic, attenuation law, and disaster assessment of coal mine disasters. However, as affected by factors like geological structure and energy losses, the micro-seismic signals of the same kind of disasters may produce data drift in the time domain transmission, such as weak or enhanced signals, which affects the accuracy of the identification of abnormal events (“the coal mine disaster events”). The current mine disaster event monitoring method is a lagged identification, which is based on monitoring a series of sensors with a 10-s-long data waveform as the monitoring unit. The identification method proposed in this article first takes advantages of the dynamic time warping algorithm, which is widely applied in the field of audio recognition, to build an anti-aliasing model and identifies whether the perceived data are disaster signal based on the similarity fitting between them and the template waveform of historical disaster data, and second, since the real-time monitoring data are continuous streaming data, it is necessary to identify the start point of the disaster waveform before the identification of the disaster signal. Therefore, this article proposes a strategy based on a variable sliding window to align two waveforms, locating the start point of perceptual disaster wave and template wave by gradually sliding the perceptual window, which can guarantee the accuracy of the matching. Finally, this article proposes a multistage identification mechanism based on the sliding window matching strategy and the characteristics of the waveforms of coal mine disasters, adjusting the early warning level according to the identification extent of the disaster signal, which increases the early warning level gradually with the successful result of the matching of 1/ N size of the template, and the piecewise aggregate approximation method is used to optimize the calculation process. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this article is more accurate and be used in real time.
