This document summarizes a student project that aims to predict earthquakes by analyzing signals extracted from underground water using image transformation techniques. Specifically, it proposes using the Hilbert-Huang transform to extract co-seismic signals and reduce noise using the Daubechies wavelet method. This is presented as an improvement over existing pattern recognition methods that have issues with false alarms and short-term prediction. The document provides background on earthquakes, outlines the existing and proposed systems, and lists hardware and software requirements.

2. Abstract
Earthquake is the sudden release of energy,
that creates Seismic Waves.
Using image transform methods we can predict
the occurrence of earthquake.
We use HHT transform technique to extract the
signals that cause earthquake from the
underground water.

3. Introduction..
Earthquake occurs due to two interacting
process
Accumulation of Energy & Release of that
energy.
Co-seismic Signals
Study on such pre-signals can identify the
earthquake occurrence.

4. Existing System
The is an accumulation of energy under the earth
creates some patterns called Seismic patterns.
These patterns are constructed & recognized
using RTP Pattern Recognition Method.

5. Drawbacks of RTP
1. An algorithmic approach.
2. Chance of creating False alarm.
3. Restricted to short-term prediction.

6. Proposed System
Image Transform technique to extract co-
seismic signals from underground water.
We can use HHT(Hilbert-Huang) or Gabor
transforms.
Noise reduction using Daubechies(DB9)
wavelet method.

7. Conclusion
Using HHT transform we can predict
earthquake accurately than by using RTP.
No false alarms.
