Change Log

All notable changes for the ccloc package and its applications will be documented in this file.

2023.347

Added

  • Explain the relation between SeisComP filters and envelopes in ccloc in the documentation.

2023.341

Added

  • Support more time formats in parameters output.dump.startTime and output.dump.endTime.

2023.195

Changed

  • Update Getting started and Examples sections in documentation.

  • Update command-line help.

2023.192

Changed

  • Accelerate data setup and pre-processing especially in case of many event or pick templates.

  • Improve reading of template data. Channels are now cropped more precisely. This allows for shorter templates as no data padding is required.

Added

  • Introduce parameter procMargin that allows to compensate for filter artefacts.

2023.164

Changed

  • Print number of published origins to stderr.

2023.136

Changed

  • Add support for SeisComP API >= 16.0.0.

2023.023

Fixed

  • Fix reading of origin from database.

  • Handle records with 0 samples correctly.

Changed

  • Ignore duplicate entries in parameter events.

2022.354

Fixed

  • Fix ignored parameters in binding profiles.

2022.342

Important

  • Optimized overall speed of computation. The speed-up may be up to a factor of 3. However, cross-correlation coefficients/fit values may differ slightly w.r.t previous version. The difference are usually < 0.03. However, origins with detection values previously close to the configured threshold may be missed. Consider testing and adjustment of the configuration parameter detector.threshold or event.$name.detector.threshold, i.e. reducing slightly by 0.01 - 0.05.

  • Configuration parameter processing.normalization was ignored in previous versions and always set to “trace”. The parameter is respected again. For consistency, its default configuration value was changed to “trace”. If processing.normalization was previously configured with “total” you must change the value to “trace” in order to retain the same behavior.

Added

  • Added support for multi-threading and GPU to speed up computation. New control parameters are computeRessources.numThreads and computeRessources.useGPU.

  • Added support of measuring backazimuth and slowness from arrays which can be defined per template event adding are reference stream in event.$name.array.referenceLocation.

Changed

  • Previously the default configuration parameters detector.threshold, detector.channelThreshold, detector.minimumChannelRatio and detector.minimumStationRatio were different from the hard-coded values. When unconfigured and providing the configuration file using --config-file the result therefore differed from playbacks with standard configuration files. The hard-coded parameters now equal their default configurations.

Changed

  • Minor improvements in documentation.

2022-06-30

  • Add reference to cross correlation to documentation.

2020-01-23

Changed

  • Updated the documentation, especially the section Getting started to work with the new configuration.

2020-01-17

Added

Fixed

  • Fix wrong default value for parameter processing.envelope.hiFreq.

  • Improve time window handling in case of delayed or interrupted channel data.

2019-09-25

Changed

  • Fix invalid total fit due to a single corrupted channel.

  • Allow to read magnitudes, origins and picks from the entire XML file.

2019-09-23

Added

  • Add parameter events.$name.magnitudeID used to specify a custom magnitude.

2019-08-30

  • Add the possibility to tolerate master templates with improper channel data.

2019-01-08

Fixed

  • Update evccloc plugin to read type comments correctly.

2018-10-08

Fixed

  • Improve detection of best overall match within the configured time window.

  • Do not crash if stream information is missing.

2018-10-04

Added

  • Added the documentation of result evaluation and ccloc custom column.

2018-09-27

Changed

  • Improved the documentation and the description of configuration parameters.

  • Read the master event from database if no XML file is configured. Otherwise read from XML file. In both cases the baseID is used to extract the event parameters.

Fixed

  • Use the available horizontal components if use3C is enabled. Do not crash if data from one component is missing.

2018-09-25

Added

  • Added the evccloc plugin for scevent. If loaded by scevent, the plugin reads the type comment from the origins set by ccloc and sets the type of the detected event. The type comment contains the event type of the master event. In this way the master event type is propagated to the detected event.

2018-09-12

Changed

  • The parameter configuration was improved to account for new and deprecated parameters.

    The following parameters have been removed:

    • events.$name.latitude … removed as the parameter is read from master event

    • output.waveforms.enable … a similar behavior can be achieved with --dump

    • output.waveforms.mseed

    • output.waveforms.path

    The following parameters have been renamed:

    The following module configuration parameters have been added:

    • repicking.enableAIC

    • detector.fitWindow

    • events.$name.originID … allow providing an origin ID. Otherwise the preferred origin is used. This origin may change by reprocessing.

    The following bindings configuration parameters have been added:

    • use3C … Use all three components for processing. Otherwise, only the

      component is used for on which the pick in the master event is defined.

    • ppicker.* AIC parameter for refining the picks of P-phases

    • spicker.* AIC parameter for refining the picks of S-phases

    Command-line options:
