Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of earthquake monitoring, in particular to a multi-step coordinated earthquake event processing and classification method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of earthquake monitoring, accurate processing of earthquake events is the basis for earthquake early warning and disaster assessment. Phase picking is the first step in earthquake event processing, which aims to identify the arrival time of P waves (longitudinal waves) and S waves (transverse waves) in seismic waves, providing key data for subsequent positioning. Positioning determines the occurrence location and time of the earthquake event based on phase data. Relocation calibration is used to further optimize the positioning results and improve accuracy. Event classification helps to distinguish natural earthquakes from non-natural earthquakes such as explosions, which is of great significance to earthquake monitoring and safety control.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used methods for phase picking include traditional algorithms based on waveform features (such as STA / LTA algorithm) and models based on deep learning (such as PhaseNet model). Among them, PhaseNet model can better identify phases through deep learning training of seismic waveforms, but when used alone, it does not form a coordinated optimization with subsequent positioning and classification steps.
[0004] In terms of positioning, Gaussian mixture algorithm is often used to process phase data for positioning, but when used alone, it is greatly affected by phase picking errors, and the positioning accuracy is limited. HypoDD algorithm is a commonly used relocation method that uses residual information between earthquakes to optimize positioning results, but in existing technology, it is used as an independent step and not closely combined with the previous positioning algorithm.
[0005] In terms of earthquake event classification, traditional methods are mostly based on single features such as magnitude and focal depth to make judgments, and for natural earthquakes and non-natural earthquakes with similar features, the classification accuracy is low, while the CEB model has certain applications in multi-feature classification, but it does not form a data linkage with the previous phase picking, positioning and other steps.
[0006] The main shortcomings of the existing technology include:
[0007] 1. Phase picking: traditional algorithms have insufficient ability to identify weak phases, and PhaseNet model alone does not have its output results processed to adapt to subsequent positioning algorithms, affecting positioning accuracy.
[0008] 2. Positioning: single Gamma Gaussian mixture algorithm is greatly affected by phase picking error transmission, resulting in large positioning result errors; and lacks coordination with subsequent relocation steps, unable to provide favorable data basis for subsequent calibration at the initial stage of positioning.
[0009] 3. Relocation calibration aspect: HypoDD algorithm is used independently and does not form data interaction and cooperative optimization with the previous positioning algorithm, resulting in limited calibration effect and difficulty in significantly reducing positioning error.
[0010] 4. Event classification aspect: relying on single feature or independent classification model, not fully utilizing multi-dimensional data generated in the previous phase of seismic phase picking and positioning, and lacking classification accuracy and robustness. SUMMARY
[0011] This section is intended to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present application and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract and title of the specification of the present application to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, abstract and title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0012] 1. Technical problem to be solved:
[0013] In order to solve the problems of insufficient seismic phase picking accuracy, large positioning error, limited relocation calibration effect and low event classification accuracy in the earthquake event processing, specifically, the traditional seismic phase picking method has poor recognition ability for weak seismic phase, resulting in inaccurate subsequent positioning basis data; a single positioning algorithm cannot balance positioning speed and accuracy; the relocation calibration step does not smoothly connect with the previous positioning, and cannot effectively reduce the error; the classification of seismic events relies on a single feature and cannot accurately distinguish natural earthquakes from non-natural earthquakes. The present application aims to solve the problems of low seismic phase picking accuracy, large positioning error, poor calibration effect and inaccurate classification through multi-step cooperative processing, and proposes the present application.
[0014] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a multi-step cooperative earthquake event processing and classification method, to improve the seismic phase picking accuracy, especially the recognition ability for weak seismic phase, and to make the picking result more suitable for subsequent positioning algorithm; to combine Gamma Gaussian mixture algorithm and HypoDD relocation calibration to reduce positioning error and improve earthquake event positioning accuracy; to use multi-dimensional data generated in the previous processing process to improve the classification accuracy of natural earthquakes and non-natural earthquakes through CEB model; to realize the cooperative linkage of seismic phase picking, positioning, relocation calibration and classification steps, and to form a complete and efficient earthquake event processing flow.

[0020] S3: a relocation calibration step, inputting the preliminary positioning result obtained in the step S2 as an initial value into a HypoDD algorithm to perform relocation calibration to obtain a relocation calibrated feature;
