Traditional monitoring systems relying on station processing discard significant information present in the original recorded signal. SIG-VISA (Signal-based Vertically Integrated Seismic Analysis) is a system for global seismic monitoring through Bayesian inference directly on observed signals, incorporating a rich representation of the physics underlying the signal generation process. Bayesian inference correctly combines statistical evidence from travel times and signal correlations, providing a unified approach to that encompasses promising recent techniques such as waveform matching and double differencing. We are making progress in scaling up the required computations to be tractable for large-scale global monitoring. Bayesian Inference for Signal-Based Seismic Monitoring David A.

Repeatable modulation: related to Green’s function. Wavelet coefs depends on event location, depth, phase. Background noise: autoregressive process at each station. Observed envelope: sum of all arriving phases, plus background noise.

SIG-VISA uses the framework of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to sample from the posterior distribution over event hypotheses conditioned on observed signals. Move types include: Template parameter moves modify the shape parameters describing a envelope template. Event attribute moves modify the location, depth, time, and magnitude of an event hypothesis to better fit the templates associated with that event at stations across the network. Template birth/death/split/merge moves create and destroy shape templates to explain fluctuations the observed signals. New templates are proposed with probability proportional to the height of the observed envelope, minus envelopes from all current templates. Event birth/death moves propose new hypothesized events to explain unassociated templates. Event locations are proposed by Hough transform, using a 3D (lon, lat, time) accumulator array. Weights of accumulator bins are sums of “votes” from all current unassociated templates; each template votes for all bins in its backprojected space-time cone. Additional proposal mechanism based on historical waveform data (see Bayesian cross-correlation, right) The generative signal model fully specifies the posterior distribution P(world | signal) from a mathematical standpoint. In practice, sampling from this distribution is computationally difficult. Designing tractable inference algorithms is an important and ongoing component of the project. Example of template birth moves finding an explanation for an observed signal. The final frame shows the result after several additional template parameter moves.

By explicitly modeling station background noise as an AR process, we derive a new, easily computed statistic that resembles cross-correlation but can be formally interpreted as a posterior probability.
