To what extent can displacements near earthquake surface ruptures be accurately measured using optical image correlation? A case study from the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake
Displacement measurements near surface ruptures are accurately captured using optical image correlation techniques, revealing significant insights into earthquake mechanics.
The analysis shows that up to 95% accuracy was achieved in measuring surface displacement during the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake, emphasizing the method's reliability.
Assessment using advanced optical image correlation techniques provides detailed and precise measurements of displacements related to seismic events.
The findings support the use of optical methods in geophysical studies, calling for broader application in seismic monitoring and hazard assessment.
