description To improve the efficiency and accuracy of microseismic event extraction from time-series data and enhance the detection of anomalous events, this paper proposes a Multi-scale Fusion Convolution and Dilated Convolution Autoencoder (MDCAE) combined with a Constraint Shape-Based Distance algorithm incorporating volatility (CSBD-Vol). MDCAE extracts low-dimensional features from waveform signals through multi-scale fusion and dilated convolutions while introducing the concept of waveform volatility (Vol) to capture variations in microseismic waveforms. An improved Shape-Based Distance (SBD) algorithm is then employed to measure the similarity of these features. Experimental results on a microseismic dataset from the 802 working faces of a mining site demonstrate that the CSBD-Vol algorithm significantly outperforms SBD, Shape-Based Distance with volatility (SBD-Vol), and Constraint Shape-Based Distance (CSBD) in classification accuracy, verifying the effectiveness of constrained time windows and volatility in enhancing performance. The proposed clustering algorithm reduces time complexity from <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>O</mi><mo>(</mo><msup><mi>n</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>O</mi><mo>(</mo><mi>n</mi><mo form="prefix">log</mo><mi>n</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, achieving substantial improvements in computational efficiency. Furthermore, the MDCAE-CSBD-Vol approach achieves 87% accuracy in microseismic time-series waveform classification. These findings highlight that MDCAE-CSBD-Vol offers a novel, precise, and efficient solution for detecting anomalous events in microseismic systems, providing valuable support for accurate and high-efficiency monitoring in mining and related applications.
