A novel technique for automatic seismic data processing using both integral and local feature of seismograms was presented in this paper.Here,the term integral feature of seismograms refers to feature which may depict the shape of the whole seismograms.However,unlike some previous efforts which completely abandon the DIAL approach,i.e.,signal detection,phase identification,association,and event localization,and seek to use envelope cross-correlation to detect seismic events directly,our technique keeps following the DIAL approach,but in addition to detect signals corresponding to individual seismic phases,it also detects continuous wave-trains and explores their feature for phase-type identification and signal association.More concrete ideas about how to define wave-trains and combine them with various detections,as well as how to measure and utilize their feature in the seismic data processing were expatiated in the paper.This approach has been applied to the routine data processing by us for years,and test results for a 16 days’ period using data from the Xinjiang seismic station network were presented.The automatic processing results have fairly low false and missed event rate simultaneously,showing that the new technique has good application prospects for improvement of the automatic seismic data processing.
