Usage

(type "MatchLocate2", step by step tutorials can be found in examples)

Usage: MatchLocate2 -F(refevla/refevlo/refevdp) -R(maxlat/maxlon/maxh) -I(dlat/dlon/dh) -T(window/before/after) -H(CC/N(*MAD)) -D(INTD) -B(low/high) -O(ouput) INPUT.in

-F: searching center (e.g., 37.799/139.998/7.8). -R: searching area (e.g., 0.05/0.05/5.0). -I: searching interval (e.g., 0.01/0.01/1.0). -T: time length of the reference phase (e.g., 4.0/1.0/3.0). -H: cross-correlation thresholds CC && NMAD (e.g., 0.3/10.0, or 0.3/0.0, or 0.0/10.0). -D: keep one event within INTD sec (e.g., 6.0). -B: bandpass fitering for both templates and traces (e.g., 2/8). -O: output (1,2,3) or don't output (0) the cross-correlogram or CC coefficient. INPUT.in: directories of templates and continuous data, horizontal and vertical slowness, etc.

Introduction:

Compared to the current methods of small event detection (template matching/matched filter), the Match&Locate places event detection to a lower magnitude level and extends the capability of detecting small events that have large distance separations from the template. The method has little dependence on the accuracy of the velocity models used, and, at the same time, provides high-precision location information of the detected small-magnitude events.
