The use of a computer to automatically pick the first-arrival of a seismic signal is an operation that involves picking and screening the first arrival of the wave according to the criteria established in the manual picking process. To increase the picking accuracy for data with low-to-moderate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we propose a new single-trace boundary detection algorithm. This algorithm includes three steps: (1) calculate the first-arrival characteristic values through multi time windows; (2) take the times corresponding to the maximum characteristic values given by different time windows as intermediate results; (3) compare the intermediate results: if the
