A Comparison of Mine Seismic Discriminators Based on Features of Source Parameters to Waveform Characteristics

Figure 3

Distributions of the measured features for the database are displayed as histograms. The seismic energy is the best performing discriminating feature as it provides maximum separation between normal events and blasts. The feature “time of occurrence” provides the slightest separation between blasts and normal events.
