چکیده

The Seismic Research Centre, University of the West Indies operates a seismic network that performs suboptimally in detecting, locating, and correctly determining the magnitude of earthquakes due to a diverse constituion of seismometers and the utilization of a site selection process that approximates an educated guess. My work seeks to apply Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to arrive at the optimal network configuration and aid in site selection.

Landforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data

During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...

Self-Organizing Maps in Seismic Image Segmentation

Unsupervised neural networks such as the Kohonen Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) have been widely used for searching natural clusters in multidimensional and massive data. One example where the data available for analysis can be extremely large is seismic interpretation for hydrocarbon exploration. In order to assist the interpreter in identifying characteristics of interest confined in the seismic ...

Gait Based Vertical Ground Reaction Force Analysis for Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis Using Self Organizing Map

The aim of this work is to use Self Organizing Map (SOM) for clustering of locomotion kinetic characteristics in normal and Parkinson’s disease. The classification and analysis of the kinematic characteristics of human locomotion has been greatly increased by the use of artificial neural networks in recent years. The proposed methodology aims at overcoming the constraints of traditional analysi...
