Retrieval of reflections from ambient noise recorded in the Mizil area, Romania

We applied seismic interferometry (SI) by crosscorrelation to ambient-noise panels recorded in the Mizil area, Romania, aiming to retrieve body-wave reflections. To achieve this goal, surface waves in the noise panels input to SI should be suppressed. We did this by selecting for input to SI-only noise panels that are not dominated by surface...

Effect of noise in blending and deblending

We show that deblended shot records have a better background-related S/N than shot records in unblended surveys. This improvement increases with increasing blending fold and decreasing survey time. An interesting consequence of this property is that blended surveys can be carried out under more severe noise conditions than unblended surveys. It...

Dispersive multi-modal mud-roll elimination using feedback-loop approach

In a shallow water environment, mud-rolls are often dominant and appear as a prevailing coherent noise in OBC seismic data. Their complex properties make the noise elimination notably challenging in seismic processing. To address these challenges, we propose a dispersive multimodal mud-roll elimination method using a feedback-loop approach with...

Effect of noise in blending and deblending

If simultaneous shooting is carried out by incoherent source arrays, being the condition of blended acquisition, the deblending process generates shot records with a very low residual interference (blending noise). We found, theoretically and numerically, that deblended shot records had a better background-related signal-to-noise ratio than shot...

Wind-induced sound on buildings and structures

Wind flow around buildings and structures has led to annoying noise levels at several occasions, especially in cases where tonal sound was produced. The human hearing is equipped to distinguish tonal or pulsating sound from random noise patterns, causing tonal or pulsating sound to be perceived as more annoying. Tonality is often caused by the...

Filtering technique for image analysis

The measuring of the flocculation parameters is based on the analysis of the optical records obtained with the settling column. These records consist of images of aggregates or flocs grabbed with a digital camera. Flocs are lightened by means of a laser sheet coming from the side. The laser light is scattered by the flocs and recorded by the...

Pressure Sensors and Filtering Techniques for Stone Stability Assessment

This report is structured as follows: In chapter 2 the importance of wall pressures with respect to the present research is described. The literature on wall pressures that was used, and some general features of wall pressure fluctuations are subsequently described in chapter 3. Chapter 4 deals with the pressure sensors. It begins with a brief...
