Various routines related to triggering/picking

Module implementing the Recursive STA/LTA. Two versions, a fast ctypes one and
a bit slower python one. Furthermore, the classic and delayed STA/LTA, the
carl_sta_trig and the z_detect are implemented.
Also includes picking routines, routines for evaluation and visualization of
characteristic functions and a coincidence triggering routine.

    The routine works in the following steps:

        precomputed custom characteristic functions)
      * evaluate all single station triggering results

    :param trigger_type: String that specifies which trigger is applied (e.g.
        ``'recstalta'``). See e.g. :meth:`obspy.core.trace.Trace.trigger` for
        further details. If set to `None` no triggering routine is applied,
        i.e.  data in traces is supposed to be a precomputed characteristic
        function on which the trigger thresholds are evaluated.
    :type trigger_type: str or None
    :type thr_on: float
    :param thr_on: threshold for switching single station trigger on
    :type thr_off: float
    :param thr_off: threshold for switching single station trigger off
    :type stream: :class:`~obspy.core.stream.Stream`
    :param stream: Stream containing waveform data for all stations. These
        data are changed inplace, make a copy to keep the raw waveform data.
    :type thr_coincidence_sum: int or float
    :param thr_coincidence_sum: Threshold for coincidence sum. The network
        coincidence sum has to be at least equal to this value for a trigger to
        be included in the returned trigger list.
    :type trace_ids: list or dict, optional
    :param trace_ids: Trace IDs to be used in the network coincidence sum. A
        dictionary with trace IDs as keys and weights as values can
        be provided. If a list of trace IDs is provided, all
        weights are set to 1. The default of ``None`` uses all traces present
        in the provided stream. Waveform data with trace IDs not
        present in this list/dict are disregarded in the analysis.
    :type max_trigger_length: int or float
    :param max_trigger_length: Maximum single station trigger length (in
        seconds). ``delete_long_trigger`` controls what happens to single
        station triggers longer than this value.
    :type delete_long_trigger: bool, optional
    :param delete_long_trigger: If ``False`` (default), single station
        triggers are manually released at ``max_trigger_length``, although the
        characteristic function has not dropped below ``thr_off``. If set to
        ``True``, all single station triggers longer than
        ``max_trigger_length`` will be removed and are excluded from
        coincidence sum computation.
    :type trigger_off_extension: int or float, optional
    :param trigger_off_extension: Extends search window for next trigger
        on-time after last trigger off-time in coincidence sum computation.
    :type details: bool, optional
    :param details: If set to ``True`` the output coincidence triggers contain
        more detailed information: A list with the trace IDs (in addition to
        only the station names), as well as lists with single station
        characteristic function peak values and standard deviations in the
        triggering interval and mean values of both, relatively weighted like
        in the coincidence sum. These values can help to judge the reliability
        of the trigger.
    :param options: Necessary keyword arguments for the respective trigger
        that will be passed on. For example ``sta`` and ``lta`` for any STA/LTA
        variant (e.g. ``sta=3``, ``lta=10``).
        Arguments ``sta`` and ``lta`` (seconds) will be mapped to ``nsta``
        and ``nlta`` (samples) by multiplying with sampling rate of trace.
        (e.g. ``sta=3``, ``lta=10`` would call the trigger with 3 and 10
        seconds average, respectively)
    :param event_templates: Event templates to use in checking similarity of
        single station triggers against known events. Expected are streams with
        three traces for Z, N, E component. A dictionary is expected where for
        each station used in the trigger, a list of streams can be provided as
        the value to the network/station key (e.g. {"GR.FUR": [stream1,
        stream2]}). Templates are compared against the provided `stream`
        without the specified triggering routine (`trigger_type`) applied.
    :type event_templates: dict
    :param similarity_threshold: similarity threshold (0.0-1.0) at which a
        single station trigger gets included in the output network event
        trigger list. A common threshold can be set for all stations (float) or
        a dictionary mapping station names to float values for each station.
    :type similarity_threshold: float or dict
    :rtype: list
    :returns: List of event triggers sorted chronologically.
