Seismic Refraction Analysis with SeisImager/2D

PickWin95 (Picking first arrival) PlotRefa(Seismic refraction analysis)
<<Introduction>>
SeisImager/2D is the two-dimensional seismic refraction analysis software. It consits of two-software, named PickWin95 and PlotRefa. PickWin95 is a software for picking first arrival. Plotrefa is a software for seismic refraction analysis. Following analysis approach can be used in the PlotRefa. 1:Time-term method If the velocity model is a simple horizontal two-layer model, you can use the time-term method. The timeterm method is a simple linear least square method for two-layer velocity model 2:Reciprocal method (Hagiwaras method) If the number of layers is larger than three, you can use reciprocal method. Sometimes, it is called GRM, or Hagiwaras method. 3:Tomographic analysis The tomographic analysis can image velocity model almost automatically. It can handle surface data as well as the data obtained from sources and receivers in boreholes or tunnels.

Seismic Refraction Analysis with SeisImager/2D

Picking first arrival : PickWin95
Waveform data : SEG2, OYO McSEIS-170;170f; SX,SX-48ch. Maximum data : trace 610 *samples 16384. Picking first arrival : automatic picking, manual picking with a mouse. Wave processing : power spectrum, band pass filter, stacking, notch filter, velocity filter, correlation. Waveform view : wiggle/variable view, normalize, clipping. etc. : Show traveltime curves on waveform data

Seismic Refraction Analysis with SeisImager/2D

Seismic refraction analysis : PlotRefa
Maximum data : source 200 * receiver 1000 * layer 50 Traveltime checking : traveltime correction with a mouse, traveltime difference curve, Raytracing based on Huygens principle automatic correction for reciprocal traveltime. Time-term method : linear least square method for two-layer velocity model. Reciprocal method : layer assignment, reduced traveltime curves, delay time calculation, delay time view, generating velocity model. Comparison of observed and calculated traveltimes Raytracing : based on Huygens principle, comparison of observed and calculated data, raypaths view. Automatic correction for layered model : non-linear least square method, correction for layer thickness, correction for layer velocity. Tomographic nalysis : generating initial model, inversion based on non-linear least square method, conversion into layerd model. etc. : analysis with borehole and tunnel data, modeling (model generation, raytracing). 4
