1. Install

Using Anaconda (recommend)

conda create --name venv python=3.6
conda activate venv
conda install tensorflow=1.10 matplotlib scipy pandas tqdm
conda install libiconv
conda install obspy -c conda-forge

Using virtualenv

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install obspy libiconv

2.Demo Data

Numpy array data are stored in directory: dataset

Mseed data are stored in directory: demo

3.Model

Located in directory: model/190703-214543

4. Prediction

a) Data format -- mseed with obspy

Required a csv file and a directory of mseed files.

The csv file contains foure column: "fname, E, N, Z"

The mseed file contains the continous data with ENZ channels.

Add --input_mseed to process mseed data:

source .venv/bin/activate
python run.py --mode=pred --model_dir=model/190703-214543 --data_dir=demo/mseed --data_list=demo/fname.csv --output_dir=output --batch_size=20 --input_mseed

Notes:

1. The detected P&S phases are stored to file picks.csv inside --output_dir. The picks.csv has three columns: file name with the beginning sample index (fname_index), P-phase index (itp), P-phase probability (tp_prob), S-phase index (its), S-phase probability (ts_prob). The absolute phase index = fname_index + itp/its.
2. The activation thresholds for P&S phases are set to 0.3 as default. Specify --tp_prob and --ts_prob to change the two thresholds.
3. On default, the mseed file is processed twice with 50% overlap to avoid phases being cut in the middle. The second pass are appended to the end of first pass. For example, if the index of the input data is from 0-60000, the index of second pass is from 60000-120000. If the processing window is 3000, the fist 1500 samples of the second pass are the padded zeros.
4. You can customze the preprocssing of mseed file, such as filtering and resampling, inside the function read_mseed in data_reader.py.
5. demo/demo-obspy.ipynb has a simple example of downloading and preparing mseed data using obspy.

b) Data format -- numpy array

Required a csv file and a directory of npz files.

The csv file contains one column: "fname"

The npz file contains one variable: "data"

The shape of "data" variable has a shape of 3000 x 3

source .venv/bin/activate
python run.py --mode=pred --model_dir=model/190703-214543 --data_dir=dataset/waveform_pred --data_list=dataset/waveform.csv --output_dir=output --plot_figure --save_result --batch_size=20

Notes:

1. For large dataset and GPUs, larger batch size can accelerate the prediction.
2. Plotting figures and save resutls is very slow. Removing the argument of --plot_figure, --save_result can speed the prediction
3. If using input data length other than 3000, specify argument --input_length=.

5. Training on new dataset

Training data format

Required a csv file and a directory of npz files.

The csv file contains four columns: "fname", "itp", "its", "channels"

The npz file contains four variable: "data", "itp", "its", "channels"

The shape of "data" variables has a shape of 9001 x 3

The variables "itp" and "its" are the data points of first P&S arrivals picked by analysts.

• Training from scratch:

source .venv/bin/activate
python run.py --mode=train --train_dir=dataset/waveform_train --train_list=dataset/waveform.csv --batch_size=20

• Training from the pretrain model:

source .venv/bin/activate
python run.py --mode=train --model_dir=model/190703-214543 --train_dir=dataset/waveform_train --train_list=dataset/waveform.csv --batch_size=20

Validation and Testing

source .venv/bin/activate
python run.py --mode=valid --model_dir=model/190703-214543 --data_dir=dataset/waveform_train --data_list=dataset/waveform.csv --plot_figure --save_result --batch_size=20
