Reliable earthquake detection and location algorithms are necessary to properly catalog and analyze the continuously growing seismic records. This paper reports the results of applying Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to single-station three-channel waveforms for P-wave earthquake detection in western and north central regions of Venezuela. Precisely, we apply our technique to study the seismicity along the dextral strike-slip Boconó and La Victoria-San Sebastián faults, with complex tectonics driven by the interactions between the South American and Caribbean plates.
Abstract:Image Based Visual Servoing (IBVS) is a robotic control scheme based on vision. This scheme uses only the visual information obtained from a camera to guide a robot from any robot pose to a desired one. However, IBVS requires the estimation of different parameters that cannot be obtained directly from the image. These parameters range from the intrinsic camera parameters (which can be obtained from a previous camera calibration), to the measured distance on the optical axis between the camera and visual features, it is the depth. This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of D-IBVS estimating the depth from three different ways using a low cost RGB-D sensor like Kinect. The visual servoing system has been developed over ROS (Robot Operating System), which is a meta-operating system for robots. The experiments prove that the computation of the depth value for each visual feature improves the system performance.
An earthquake is the vibration pattern of the Earth's crust induced by the sliding of geological faults. They are usually recorded for later studies. However, strong earthquakes are rare, small-magnitude events may pass unnoticed and monitoring networks are limited in number and efficiency. Thus, earthquake catalog are incomplete and scarce, and researchers have developed simulators of such catalogs. In this work, we start from synthetic catalogs generated with the TREMOL-3D software. TREMOL-3D is a stochastic-based method to produce earthquake catalogs with different statistical patterns, depending on certain input parameters that mimics physical parameters. When an appropriate set of parameters are used, TREMOL-3D could generate synthetic catalogs with similar statistical properties observed in real catalogs. However, because of the size of the parameter space, a manual searching becomes unbearable. Therefore, aiming at increasing the efficiency of the parameter search, we here implement a Machine Learning approach based on Random Forest classification, for an automatic parameter screening. It has been implemented using the machine learning Python's library Sci-Kit Learn.
