A Deep Learning-Based Electromagnetic Signal for Earthquake Magnitude Prediction

Abstract

The influence of earthquake disasters on human social life is positively related to the magnitude and intensity of the earthquake, and effectively avoiding casualties and property losses can be attributed to the accurate prediction of earthquakes. In this study, an electromagnetic sensor is investigated to assess earthquakes in advance by collecting earthquake signals. At present, the mainstream earthquake magnitude prediction comprises two methods. On the one hand, most geophysicists or data analysis experts extract a series of basic features from earthquake precursor signals for seismic classification. On the other hand, the obtained data related to earth activities by seismograph or space satellite are directly used in classification networks. This article proposes a CNN and designs a 3D feature-map which can be used to solve the problem of earthquake magnitude classification by combining the advantages of shallow features and high-dimensional information. In addition, noise simulation technology and SMOTE oversampling technology are applied to overcome the problem of seismic data imbalance. The signals collected by electromagnetic sensors are used to evaluate the method proposed in this article. The results show that the method proposed in this paper can classify earthquake magnitudes well.

Feasibility of Principal Component Analysis for Multi-Class Earthquake Prediction Machine Learning Model Utilizing Geomagnetic Field Data

“…To address the class imbalance caused by low-magnitude EQs, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was employed [30] to potentially improve EQ prediction accuracy. Bao et al [31] successfully addressed the data imbalance issue in their EQ prediction model by employing SMOTE. This technique augmented the minority class within the dataset, enabling the model to learn their characteristics more effectively.…”

The Study on Anomalies of the Geomagnetic Topology Network Associated with the 2022 Ms6.8 Luding Earthquake

“…Its operation is based on Faraday's electromagnetic theory, which obtains induced electromotive force from the vertically varying magnetic field. Subsequently, the signals undergo amplification, filtering, analogto-digital conversion, and other processing steps [39], yielding ultra-low frequency (ULF) and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic signals, with a dynamic range from 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz [40]. The AETA system conducts the final data processing, calculating statistical features such as the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis of the raw data [39,41].…”

Assessment of Nutritional Composition of Turkish Red Crescent Menus After the M7.8 and M7.6 Earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye

“…Earthquakes are significant natural disasters resulting from the breaking of the Earth’s crust due to tectonic forces or volcanic activities, causing severe loss of life and serious economic damage. 1,2 Much of Türkiye’s territory is located in seismically most active zones worldwide. 3 For this reason, destructive earthquakes frequently emerge along fault lines.…”
