An automatic seismic signal detection method based on fourth-order statistics and applications

区域地震信号自动识别方法及应用(英文)

Real-time, automatic, and accurate determination of seismic signals is critical for rapid earthquake reporting and early warning. In this study, we present a correction trigger function（CTF） for automatically detecting regional seismic events and a fourth-order statistics algorithm with the Akaike information criterion（AIC） for determining the direct wave phase, based on the differences, or changes, in energy, frequency, and amplitude of the direct P- or S-waves signal and noise. Simulations suggest for that the proposed fourth-order statistics result in high resolution even for weak signal and noise variations at different amplitude, frequency, and polarization characteristics. To improve the precision of establishing the S-waves onset, first a specific segment of P-wave seismograms is selected and the polarization characteristics of the data are obtained. Second, the S-wave seismograms that contained the specific segment of P-wave seismograms are analyzed by S-wave polarization filtering. Finally, the S-wave phase onset times are estimated. The proposed algorithm was used to analyze regional earthquake data from the Shandong Seismic Network. The results suggest that compared with conventional methods, the proposed algorithm greatly decreased false and missed earthquake triggers, and improved the detection precision of direct P- and S-wave phases.

地震信号的实时、自动、准确识别对于地震自动速报和地震预警十分重要。仿真信号试验分析表明,观测数据的四阶统计量函数(BKCF)对信号与噪声在能量和(或)频率方面的微弱差异变化具有较高的分辨能力。以此为基础,本文提出了一种新的自动探测区域地震事件的方法和测定直达波震相到时的BKCF-AIC方法。为了进一步提高波震相到时测定的精度,本文首先对指定时段的P-波记录进行偏振特性分析,其次对含有P波的S波记录进行偏振滤波处理,再次应用上述方法测定震相到时。与传统算法相比,基于山东测震台网记录的区域地震震例分析结果表明,使用本文提出的方法能够大幅度降低地震事件误检、漏检率,进一步提高了震相识别精度。
