Synthetic seismograms generated by solving the seismic wave equation using numerical methods are being widely used in seismology. For fully three-dimensional seismic structure models, the generation of these synthetic seismograms may require large amount of computing resources. Conventional high-performance computer clusters may not provide a cost-effective solution to this type of applications...

[1] The most common form of seismic exploration remains a nearly linear survey with data acquisition lines including the source and receivers. The interpretation of amplitude and waveform information for such linear acquisition requires consideration of 3D seismic wavefields. In many scenarios the structure is approximately 2D, but still modeling is needed for point sources. In recent years 2.5...

Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) is a popular method to analyze nonlinear and non-stationary data. It has been widely used in geophysical prospecting. This paper analyzes the mode mixing problems of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and introduces the noncontact measurement and detection of instantaneous seismic attributes using complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD). Numeric...

Adjoint-state methods (ASMs) have proven successful for calculating the gradients of the functionals commonly found in geophysical inverse problems. The 3D image-domain formulation of the seismic velocity estimation problem uses imperfections in 3D migrated images to form an objective function, which is minimized using a combined ASM plus line-search approach. While image-domain methods are les...

seismic attribute is a quantitative measure of an interested seismic characteristic. there are several seismic attributes. in recent years, time-frequency (tf) attributes have been developed which to reach them, tf analyzing of seismic data is required. a high resolution tf representation (tfr) can yield more accurate tf attributes. there are several tfr methods including short-time fourier tra...

Introduction The heterogeneities in the crust and upper mantle structure as well as the complex source rupture process have an important influence on regional seismic wavefield, particularly for high-frequency waves. Moreover small-scale heterogeneities such as for the sedimentary basin introduce significant amplification of ground motion, which lead to long ground shaking over several minutes ...

Understanding neural computation requires methods such as 3D acousto-optical (AO) scanning that can simultaneously read out neural activity on both the somatic and dendritic scales. AO point scanning can increase measurement speed and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by several orders of magnitude, but high optical resolution requires long point-to-point switching time, which limits imaging capabili...

NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission records several high-frequency (>0.5 Hz) dispersive seismic signals on Mars. These are due to the acoustic-to-seismic coupling of infrasound generated by entry impact meteorites. This dispersion property is propagating in a structured atmosphere, we refer this as guided infrasound. We propose ...

We extend time-domain velocity continuation to the zero-offset 3D azimuthally anisotropic case. Velocity continuation describes how a seismic image changes given a change in migration velocity. This description turns out to be of a wave propagation process, in which images change along a velocity axis. In the anisotropic case, the velocity model is multi-parameter. Therefore, anisotropic image ...

3D visualization is an important link in seismic data processing and interpretation, and the development of the microcomputer system of 3d visualization software for seismic data is very necessary. This paper uses MFC (Microsoft Programming Interface) and VTK (Visualization Toolkit) building three-dimensional scene, realizing the 3d seismic data field Visualization display system and determinin...
