An interactive program on digitizing historical seismograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retrieving information from analog seismograms is of great importance since they are considered as the unique sources that provide quantitative information of historical earthquakes. We present an algorithm for automatic digitization of the seismograms as an inversion problem that forms an interactive program using Matlab GUI. The program integrates automatic digitization with manual digitization and users can easily switch between the two modalities and carry out different combinations for the optimal results. Several examples about applying the interactive program are given to illustrate the merits of the method. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Historical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake
S U M M A R Y History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database, seismograms of old events are of vital importance. Many unusual earthquakes are known to have occurred, but their seismological...
متن کاملEfficient and Robust Graphics Recognition from Historical Maps
Historical maps contain rich cartographic information, such as road networks, but this information is “locked” in images and inaccessible to a geographic information system (GIS). Manual map digitization requires intensive user effort and cannot handle a large number of maps. Previous approaches for automatic map processing generally require expert knowledge in order to fine-tune parameters of ...

The Voronoi tessellation is of interest in the development of GIS methods for various reasons, especially as a form of topology. These reasons include Voronoi diagram dynamic maintenance and the idea of a “proximal query”, whereby an object may be specified merely by placing the cursor within its Voronoi region. This is a great advantage in the digitizing operation. because traditional systems ...
