Estimating the location of a tunnel using interferometric times of Rayleigh-wave scattering

Inspired by a technique called seismic interferometry, we estimate the location of a scatterer using scattered waves. We isolate the scattered wavefield and evaluate the result of correlating scattered waves at different receiver locations. The cross-correlation eliminates the travel path between a source and a scatterer, making the estimation...

Estimating the location of scatterers using correlation of scattered rayleigh waves

Inspired by a technique called seismic interferometry, we estimate the location of scatterers in a scaled model, where many near-surface scatterers are present. We isolate the scattered wavefield and evaluate correlation of scattered waves at different receiver locations. The cross-correlation eliminates the travel path between a source and a...

Locating cavities using ghost scattered waves in a scale-model experiment

The investigation and detection of near-surface structures (cavities, caves, tunnels, mineshafts, buried objects, archeological ruins, water reservoir, etc.) is important to mitigate geo- and environmental hazards. We use a method inspired by seismic interferometry to estimate the location of a cavity in a scaled ultrasonic experiment,...

Locating scatterers by non-physical scattered waves obtained by seismic interferometry

The investigation and detection of near-surface structures (such as cavities, caves, sinkholes, tunnels, mineshafts, buried objects, archeological ruins, water reservoir, etc.) is important to mitigate geo- and environmental hazards. In a former study, we suggested a method based on active-source seismic interferometry for locating the...
