1. A barrier detection system comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors capable of being coupled in series to at least one seismograph, the seismograph capable of receiving a signal from the plurality of sensors;

    a computer system comprising computer storage and a processor, the computer system capable of being in communication with the seismograph so that the computer system receives the signals from the seismograph, the computer system capable of storing at least a portion of the signals in the computer storage; and

    an object detection system being stored in the computer storage and being executable by the processor, the object detection system being configured toselect a first portion of the signal to analyze based a predetermined time interval,create a baseline value for the first portion,select a plurality of peaks from the first portion,select a first peak from the plurality of peaks,compare an amplitude of the first peak to an amplitude threshold value stored in the computer storage so that if the first peak exceeds the amplitude threshold, the remaining peaks of the first portion are compared to the amplitude threshold, andcompare a frequency value and a periodicity value of the plurality of peaks from the first portion to signatures stored in the computer storage to determine an origin of the signal.
