Abstract

In this paper, a deep learning-based detection and classification using multi-band frequency signals is presented for detecting earthquakes prevalent in Korea. Based on an analysis of the previous earthquakes in Korea, it is observed that multi-band signals are appropriate for classifying earthquake signals. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a deep CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) using multi-band signals as training data. The proposed algorithm extracts the multi-band signals (Low/Medium/High frequency) by applying band pass filters to mel-spectrum of earthquake signals. Then, we construct three CNN architecture pipelines for extracting features and classifying the earthquake signals by a late fusion of the three CNNs. We validate effectiveness of the proposed method by performing various experiments for classifying the domestic earthquake signals detected in 2018.
