An Initial Assessment of Effects of Seafloor Roughness on Coherent Sound Reflection from the Seafloor
A roughened seafloor may be expected to scatter incident sound at non-specular angles, but also to reflect coherently at the specular angle, with some loss of amplitude attributed to the scattering and some loss attributed to sound transmission into, and absorption within, the seafloor. Our initial expectation was that a reasonable estimation of the total coherent reflection loss, at a given gr...
متن کاملSeismic Interferometry: reconstructing the Earth’s reflection response
Can the reflection response of the subsurface be obtained without the need to place an active source at the surface? Using numerical modeling results based on one-way wavefields, we show that the reflection response of a 3-D inhomogeneous lossless medium can be reconstructed from the crosscorrelation of its transmission response at the surface. Depending on the type of subsurface noise sources,...
متن کاملInversion of seismic reflection data in the acoustic approximation
The nonlinear inverse problem for seismic reflection data is solved in the acoustic approximation. The method is based on the generalized least-squares criterion, and it can handle errors in the data set and a priori information on the model. Multiply reflected energy is naturally taken into account, as well as refracted energy or surface waves. The inverse problem can be solved using an iterat...
متن کاملReconstructing seafloor bathymetry with a multichannel broadband InSAS
This paper describes an iterative approach for estimating a height map from a broadband interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (INSAS) using multiple receivers. The goal is to produce high-resolution imagery and bathymetry and of the seafloor, in particular for shallow water environments typical of harbours. We present results from both a distributed facet rough seafloor simulator and from re...
متن کاملRefinement of Seafloor Elevation Using Acoustic Backscatter
We propose an algorithm for the reconstruction of elevation and materialproperty maps of the seafloor using a sidescan sonar backscatter image and sparse bathymetric points co-registered within the image. Given a path for the sensor; the reconstruction is corrected for the movement of the fish during the image generation process. To perform reconstruction, an arbitrary but computable scattering...
