Application of Autoregressive Extrapolation to the Cross-borehole Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autoregressive (AR) extrapolation of travel-time data is tested using several synthetic tomography examples using a cross-borehole geometry. Earlier studies have shown crossborehole tomography using travel-times can have reduced resolution because of the limitations on ray coverage. We apply AR extrapolation to partial travel-time data and then compare the tomographic inversions using the full data and the extrapolated data. Both the overall patterns of the extended data and the tomographic reconstructions with the extended data show that AR extrapolation can effectively extend the synthetic crossborehole tomographic data to a broader coverage and can improve the cross-hole reconstruction images.

Application of Autoregressive Extrapolation to Seismic Tomography
Seismic tomography used in the laboratory, as well as in the field, is strongly affected by limited and nonuniform ray coverage. A two-stage autoregressive extrapolation technique is proposed that can be used to extend the observed data and provide better tomographic images. The algorithm is based on the principle that the extrapolated data add minimal information to the existing data. The firs...
متن کاملSeismic Tomography
The inversion of seismic travel-time data for radially varying media was initially investigated by Herglotz, Wiechert, and Bateman (the HWB method) in the early part of the 20th century [1]. Tomographic inversions for laterally varying media began in seismology starting in the 1970's. This included early work by Aki, Christoffersson, and Husebye who developed an inversion technique for estimati...
متن کاملInverse modeling of flow tomography experiments in fractured media
[1] The accurate characterization of the location, hydraulic properties, and connectivity of major fracture zones is essential to model flow and solute transport in fractured media. Cross-borehole flowmeter tests, which consist of measuring changes in vertical borehole flows when pumping a neighboring borehole, were shown to be an efficient technique to provide information on the properties of ...
متن کاملCross-borehole resistivity tomography of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice
As an inhomogeneous mixture of pure ice, brine, air and solid salts the physical properties of sea ice depend on its highly temperature-dependent microstructure. Understanding the microstructure and the way it responds to variations in temperature and salinity is crucial in developing an improved understanding of the interaction between sea ice and the environment. However, measurements monitor...
متن کاملA Solution to the Problem of Extrapolation in Car Following Modeling Using an online fuzzy Neural Network
Car following process is time-varying in essence, due to the involvement of human actions. This paper develops an adaptive technique for car following modeling in a traffic flow. The proposed technique includes an online fuzzy neural network (OFNN) which is able to adapt its rule-consequent parameters to the time-varying processes. The proposed OFNN is first trained by an growing binary tree le...
