Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image processing, and in particular to a method for identifying seismic phases of non-natural earthquakes based on image processing. Background Art

[0002] Non-natural earthquakes refer to earthquakes caused by human activities or geological engineering, including artificial blasting, underground nuclear tests, induced earthquakes and mine tremors. Natural earthquakes are mostly caused by plate movement and fault slip. The seismic phase characteristics are manifested as S-wave development, a wide spectrum and a deep focal depth. The phase identification of non-natural earthquakes plays a key role in earthquake monitoring, industrial safety, engineering assessment and scientific research. Its core value lies in the analysis of seismic wave characteristics.

[0003] At present, in the existing technology, seismic phase identification generally relies on a single time domain analysis method, which can only capture the amplitude information of seismic waves changing with time. It is difficult to simultaneously obtain the time domain waveform contour, frequency domain energy distribution and microsecond-level mutation characteristics, resulting in the subtle differences between natural and non-natural earthquakes being difficult to effectively distinguish. At the same time, natural earthquake signals are usually weak, and details are easily lost under fixed threshold processing; and non-natural earthquake signals are strong, which can easily cause pixel saturation problems, making it impossible to accurately present waveform characteristics, thereby reducing the accuracy of seismic phase identification.

[0004] Therefore, a seismic phase identification method for non-natural earthquakes based on image processing is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying seismic phases of non-natural earthquakes based on image processing to solve the problems raised in the above background.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for identifying seismic phases of non-natural earthquakes based on image processing, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Based on the sensors distributed across the seismic monitoring network, the system captures the continuous signal of the amplitude changing over time during the propagation of seismic waves in real time, forming an original amplitude sequence. The collected continuous signal is then converted into a three-channel image, and the image brightness is automatically adjusted based on the dynamic range of the seismic wave data. Step 2: Use the Canny operator to perform edge detection on the three-channel image. The Canny operator determines the edge binary map by calculating the gradient and double threshold screening. For the edge points in the edge binary map, the gradient direction is divided into multiple intervals based on the gradient direction. The proportion of edge points in each interval is counted. The difference between the maximum interval proportion and the average proportion is used to measure the direction concentration. The difference is compared with the set threshold and a preliminary mark is output. Step 3: Receive preliminary labels, perform STFT transform on the original amplitude sequence, generate a time-frequency diagram, extract frequency domain features to divide multiple frequency bands, extract frequency band concentration and energy peak features, and output the non-natural earthquake identification results through multi-feature weighted fusion judgment.

If the gradient amplitude is less than or equal to the high threshold T1, greater than or equal to the low threshold T2 and is a candidate edge, and there is a strong edge in the field, it is retained to obtain the edge binary map of each channel image.

[0010] Preferably, in step 2, based on the gradient direction, the gradient direction is divided into multiple intervals, the edge point ratio of each interval is counted, and the direction concentration is measured by the difference between the maximum interval ratio and the average ratio. The specific steps are as follows: S11: Based on the edge binary image of each single channel, the edge point coordinates are extracted, and based on the gradient direction in S8, the corresponding gradient direction value is extracted; S12: Divide the gradient direction into N intervals, count the number of edge points in each interval, and calculate the interval ratio; S13: Based on the interval proportion, calculate the average proportion and traverse all interval proportions at the same time to find the maximum interval proportion, and use the difference between the maximum interval proportion and the average proportion as the maximum proportion difference.

If the comprehensive score is less than the comprehensive threshold T4, it is judged to be a natural earthquake or noise.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the present invention, a three-channel construction strategy is used to construct a multi-dimensional analysis system for seismic waves. The first channel completely retains the original amplitude waveform, clearly presenting the time domain difference between the gradual fluctuation of natural earthquakes and the pulse-like mutation of non-natural earthquakes. The second channel converts the steep peaks and troughs produced by non-natural events such as blasting into high-contrast pixel areas through first-order difference operations, accurately capturing microsecond-level mutations that are easily overlooked by traditional time domain analysis. The third channel uses STFT time-frequency transformation to convert frequency components into spatial distribution, clearly distinguishing the low-frequency energy concentration of natural earthquakes from the medium-frequency characteristic spectrum lines of non-natural earthquakes, laying the foundation for frequency band concentration analysis. The adaptive brightness adjustment technology targets the intensity differences of multi-source seismic signals, and dynamically adapts through global maximum statistics and linear scaling to improve the edge distinction between non-natural and natural earthquakes, laying a solid foundation for identification.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, the Canny operator is used to independently detect the edge of three-channel images, deeply mining the multidimensional features of seismic waves. In the preprocessing stage, Gaussian kernel convolution effectively filters sensor noise and environmental interference. The Sobel operator calculates the gradient amplitude map in the X and Y directions, converts the grayscale change into gradient intensity information, accurately locates the edge, divides the gradient direction interval and calculates the proportion, and uses the maximum proportion difference as a quantitative indicator to convert the visual edge into a mathematical feature. When the channel edge direction concentration difference is compared with the set threshold T3, the corresponding operation is output. Multiple links work together to improve the recognition accuracy, provide high-quality candidate areas for subsequent analysis, reduce computational redundancy, and enhance system robustness.

[0018] 3. In the present invention, a time-frequency diagram is generated by STFT transformation, breaking through the time domain limitations and presenting a panoramic view of the three-dimensional distribution of seismic waves. The low-frequency band, medium-frequency band and high-frequency band accurately capture the energy distribution law of the earthquake source. The frequency band concentration quantifies the aggregation tendency through the difference in the proportion of high and low frequency energy. The energy peak feature calculates the peak energy, average energy and significance, highlights the mutation details, and weightedly integrates the direction concentration, frequency band concentration and peak significance to construct a multi-dimensional discrimination system. Quantitative discrimination is based on the experimental calibration threshold T4, and multi-domain features are integrated throughout the process to improve recognition accuracy, avoid the risk of misjudgment of a single feature, build a solid barrier for non-natural earthquake identification, and promote the accuracy of seismic phase identification and differentiation.

[0037] In the present invention, a method for identifying seismic phases of non-natural earthquakes based on image processing is provided. The three-channel construction strategy achieves a multi-dimensional representation of seismic wave characteristics. The first channel preserves the original amplitude waveform, fully recording the time-domain profile of the seismic wave. This channel allows for a direct contrast between the gradual fluctuations of natural earthquakes and the pulse-like sudden changes of unnatural earthquakes. The second channel enhances the amplitude change rate through first-order difference operations, converting the sharp peaks and troughs produced by unnatural events such as explosions into high-contrast pixel regions, effectively highlighting microsecond-level sudden changes that are easily overlooked in traditional time-domain analysis. The third channel utilizes the STFT time-frequency transform to convert frequency components into spatial distributions, forming a characteristic distinction between the low-frequency energy concentration of natural earthquakes and the mid-frequency characteristic spectral lines of unnatural earthquakes, providing a basis for subsequent frequency band concentration analysis. Adaptive brightness adjustment technology, through global maximum statistics and linear scaling, effectively addresses the identification challenges posed by intensity differences between multiple sources of seismic signals. In natural earthquake scenarios, edge details are preserved after brightness stretching of weak signals, avoiding the information loss caused by traditional fixed threshold processing. In strong earthquake signals, dynamic range compression prevents pixel saturation and ensures that sudden changes are not submerged. This adaptive mapping based on the dynamic range of the data itself enables the subsequent dual-threshold screening of Canny edge detection to be performed in a more reasonable gradient space. The improvement in the quality of the gradient amplitude map directly translates into improved edge positioning accuracy, significantly enhancing the distinction between the regular edges unique to non-natural earthquakes and the random edges of natural earthquakes.

[0038] The Canny operator's independent edge detection mechanism for three-channel images realizes the multi-dimensional and refined capture of seismic wave characteristics. In the preprocessing stage, Gaussian kernel convolution effectively suppresses sensor noise and environmental interference. The Sobel operator converts the grayscale changes of the seismic wave image into gradient intensity information by calculating the gradient amplitude map in the X and Y directions. The gradient direction interval division and proportion statistics technology further deepen the quantitative expression of edge features. By dividing the gradient direction space into N intervals (such as 16 intervals, each interval is 22.5°), the system can capture the distribution law of edge direction and use the maximum proportion difference as a quantitative indicator to make the edge Edge features are transformed from vague visual impressions into precise mathematical features. When the directional concentration difference of a channel edge is greater than T3, its edge direction distribution shows a significant directional preference, which is consistent with the characteristic pattern of non-natural earthquakes. Otherwise, it is more likely to be a natural earthquake or noise. This data-driven threshold setting avoids the uncertainty of subjective judgment and elevates seismic phase identification from traditional empirical judgment to scientific decision-making based on quantitative features. The synergistic effect of multiple factors improves the accuracy of non-natural earthquake identification, provides high-quality candidate regions for time-frequency feature extraction, reduces computational redundancy, and enhances the robustness and efficiency of the entire identification system. From the perspective of feature mining, the STFT transform generates time-frequency diagrams, breaking the limitations of time-domain analysis and presenting the three-dimensional distribution of seismic waves. The layered frequency band division is consistent with the physical characteristics of seismic waves. The low-frequency, medium-frequency, and high-frequency bands accurately capture the energy distribution patterns of different earthquake sources. The frequency band concentration quantifies the energy accumulation tendency by the difference in the proportion of high and low frequency energy. The energy peak feature calculates the peak energy, average energy, and peak significance, highlighting energy mutations. Multiple features are extracted in parallel to fully cover the unique characteristics of non-natural earthquakes in the frequency domain. By weightedly integrating directional concentration, frequency band concentration, and peak significance, a multi-dimensional feature discrimination system is constructed. Based on the experimental calibration of the comprehensive threshold T4, quantitative discrimination is achieved, integrating multi-domain features, improving recognition accuracy, reducing the risk of misjudgment of a single feature, building a reliable technical barrier for non-natural earthquake identification, and facilitating the efficient distinction of seismic phase types.
