Abstract
Waveforms of artificially induced explosions and collapse events recorded by the seismic network share similarities with natural earthquakes. Failure to identify and screen them in a timely manner can introduce confusion into the earthquake catalog established using these recordings, thereby impacting future seismological research. Therefore, the identification and separation of natural earthquakes from continuous seismic signals contribute to the monitoring and early warning of destructive tectonic earthquakes. A 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed for seismic event classification using an efficient channel attention mechanism and an improved light inception block. A total of 9937 seismic sample records are obtained after waveform interception, filtering, and normalization. The proposed model can obtain better classification performance than other major existing methods, exhibiting 96.79% overall classification accuracy and 96.73%, 94.85%, and 96.35% classification accuracy for natural seismic events, collapse events, and blasting events, respectively. Meanwhile, the proposed model is lighter than the 2D convolutional and common inception networks. We also apply the proposed model to the seismic data recorded at the University of Utah seismograph stations and compare its performance with that of the CNN-waveform model.
