Schmitter}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Monitoring lightning electromagnetic pulses (sferics) and other terrestrial as well as extraterrestrial transient radiation signals is of considerable interest for practical and theoretical purposes in astro- and geophysics as well as meteorology. Managing a continuous flow of data, automisation of the detection and classification process is important. Features based on a combination of wavelet and statistical methods proved efficient for analysis and characterisation of transients and as input into a radial basis function network that is trained to discriminate transients from pulse like to wave like.}, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {1}, year = {2008}, pages = {5 - 8}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7945}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/13}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 13, 2008}, }
