ESMpro

Description

ESMpro is a stand-alone Python software for analyzing and processing ground-motion waveforms from the Engineering Strong Motion database (ESM). The software is also available on GitLab in a stand-alone Beta version to facilitate the testing and sharing among the scientific community.

This project is developed to improve the data management of the ESM database with:

  1. automated data quality check aimed at: helping the system maintenance, avoiding data processing of low quality records, and reducing time for manual revision, giving priority to some selected data;
  2. improvement of automatic settings for waveform trimming and filtering;
  3. multiple algorithms for data processing (Paolucci et al., 2011; Schiappapietra et al., 2021; custom);
  4. modular and flexible structure allowing the development of new algorithms and workflows.
