Microseismic Signal Classification Based on Artificial Neural Networks

The classification of multichannel microseismic waveform is essential for real-time monitoring and hazard prediction. The accuracy and efficiency could not be guaranteed by manual identification. Thus, based on 37310 waveform data of Junde Coal Mine, eight features of statistics, spectrum, and waveform were extracted to generate a complete data set. An automatic classification algorithm based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) has been proposed. The model presented an excellent performance in identifying three preclassified signals in the test set. Operated with two hidden layers and the Logistic activation function, the multiclass area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) reached 98.6%.
