Intellectual Merit |
We have applied and evaluated several anomaly detection methods that were developed under various NASA projects, to the detection of simulated strain transient cases put forth before the exercise participants. We have tested algorithms that were based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) techniques, as well a Covariance Descriptor Analysis (CDA) method that originated in image processing. Both classes of techniques have shown promising results. In phase III od the Community Transient Detection Exercise, we have applied these methods to the new set of cases (A-G), using an iterative procedure, in which the output of one technique was used to fine-tune the input to the other. Finally, a forward model based on uniformly slipping rectangular fault patches was applied. |
Broader Impacts | Exploring geodetic transient detection methods within a community exercise enables us to share our results and technologies with others, and learn from our colleagues' experience how to best optimize our detection methods to the vast geodetic data set in Southern California, with the ultimate goal of creating alerts based on detection of events that currently go unnoticed. |
