================================================== Visualizing Probabilistic Power Spectral Densities ================================================== The following code example shows how to use the :class:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD` class defined in :mod:`obspy.signal`. The routine is useful for interpretation of e.g. noise measurements for site quality control checks. For more information on the topic see [McNamara2004]_. .. doctest:: >>> from obspy import read >>> from obspy.io.xseed import Parser >>> from obspy.signal import PPSD Read data and select a trace with the desired station/channel combination: .. doctest:: >>> st = read("https://examples.obspy.org/BW.KW1..EHZ.D.2011.037") >>> tr = st.select(id="BW.KW1..EHZ")[0] Metadata can be provided as an :class:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.Inventory` (e.g. from a StationXML file or from a request to a FDSN web service -- be sure to use `level='response'`), a :class:`~obspy.io.xseed.parser.Parser` (mostly legacy, dataless SEED files can be read into `Inventory` objects using :func:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.read_inventory()`), a filename of a local RESP file (also legacy, RESP files can be parsed into `Inventory` objects; or a legacy poles and zeros dictionary). Then we initialize a new :class:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD` instance. The ppsd object will then make sure that only appropriate data go into the probabilistic psd statistics. .. doctest:: >>> inv = read_inventory("https://examples.obspy.org/BW_KW1.xml") >>> ppsd = PPSD(tr.stats, metadata=inv) Now we can add data (either trace or stream objects) to the ppsd estimate. This step may take a while. The return value ``True`` indicates that the data was successfully added to the ppsd estimate. .. doctest:: >>> ppsd.add(st) True We can check what time ranges are represented in the ppsd estimate. ``ppsd.times_processed`` contains a sorted list of start times of the one hour long slices that the psds are computed from (here only the first two are printed). Other attributes storing information about the data fed into the ``PPSD`` object are ``ppsd.times_data`` and ``ppsd.times_gaps``. .. doctest:: >>> print(ppsd.times_processed[:2]) [UTCDateTime(2011, 2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 935000), UTCDateTime(2011, 2, 6, 0, 30, 0, 935000)] >>> print("number of psd segments:", len(ppsd.times_processed)) number of psd segments: 47 Adding the same stream again will do nothing (return value ``False``), the ppsd object makes sure that no overlapping data segments go into the ppsd estimate. .. doctest:: >>> ppsd.add(st) False >>> print("number of psd segments:", len(ppsd.times_processed)) number of psd segments: 47 Additional information from other files/sources can be added step by step. .. doctest:: >>> st = read("https://examples.obspy.org/BW.KW1..EHZ.D.2011.038") >>> ppsd.add(st) True The graphical representation of the ppsd can be displayed in a matplotlib window.. >>> ppsd.plot() ..or saved to an image file: >>> ppsd.plot("/tmp/ppsd.png") # doctest: +SKIP >>> ppsd.plot("/tmp/ppsd.pdf") # doctest: +SKIP .. plot:: tutorial/code_snippets/probabilistic_power_spectral_density.py A (for each frequency bin) cumulative version of the histogram can also be visualized: >>> ppsd.plot(cumulative=True) .. plot:: tutorial/code_snippets/probabilistic_power_spectral_density3.py To use the colormap used by PQLX / [McNamara2004]_ you can import and use that colormap from :mod:`obspy.imaging.cm`: >>> from obspy.imaging.cm import pqlx >>> ppsd.plot(cmap=pqlx) .. plot:: tutorial/code_snippets/probabilistic_power_spectral_density2.py Below the actual PPSD (for a detailed discussion see [McNamara2004]_) is a visualization of the data basis for the PPSD (can also be switched off during plotting). The top row shows data fed into the PPSD, green patches represent available data, red patches represent gaps in streams that were added to the PPSD. The bottom row in blue shows the single psd measurements that go into the histogram. The default processing method fills gaps with zeros, these data segments then show up as single outlying psd lines. .. note:: Providing metadata from e.g. a Dataless SEED or StationXML volume is safer than specifying static poles and zeros information (see :class:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD`). Time series of psd values can also be extracted from the PPSD by accessing the property :py:attr:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD.psd_values` and plotted using the :meth:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD.plot_temporal()` method (temporal restrictions can be used in the plot, see documentation): >>> ppsd.plot_temporal([0.1, 1, 10]) .. plot:: tutorial/code_snippets/probabilistic_power_spectral_density4.py Spectrogram-like plots can be done using the :meth:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD.plot_spectrogram()` method: >>> ppsd.plot_spectrogram() .. plot:: tutorial/code_snippets/probabilistic_power_spectral_density5.py
