ABSTRACT
In seismology Primary p-wave arrival identification is a fundamental problem for the geologist worldwide. Several numbers of algorithms that deal with p-wave onset detection and identification have already been proposed. Accurate p- wave picking is required for earthquake early warning system and determination of epicenter location etc. In this paper we have proposed a novel algorithm for p-wave detection using Bhattacharyya distance for seismic signals. In our study we have taken 50 numbers of real seismic signals (generated by earthquake) recorded by K-NET (Kyoshin network), Japan. Our results show maximum standard deviation of 1.76 sample from true picks which gives better accuracy with respect to ratio test method.
