EuroSDR: The pan european network for mapping agencies and academia

EuroSDR (http://www.eurosdr.net/) is a non-profit organisation that provides a pan-European network that brings together mapping / cadastre agencies and academia for the purpose of applied research, and securing timely, research-based knowledge that allows the agencies to play their role as content providers and government competence centres...

Separation of blended data by iterative estimation and subtraction of blending interference noise

Seismic acquisition is a trade-off between economy and quality. In conventional acquisition the time intervals between successive records are large enough to avoid interference in time. To obtain an efficient survey, the spatial source sampling is therefore often (too) large. However, in blending, or simultaneous acquisition, temporal overlap...

The concept of double blending: Combining incoherent shooting with incoherent sensing

Seismic surveys are designed so that the time interval between shots is sufficiently large to avoid temporal overlap between records. To economize on survey time, the current compromise is to keep the number of shots to an acceptable minimum. The result is a poorly sampled source domain. We propose to abandon the condition of nonoverlapping shot...

Acquisition geometry analysis in complex 3D media

Increasingly, we must deal with complex subsurface structures in seismic exploration, often resulting in poor illumination and, therefore, poor image quality. Consequently, it is desirable to take into consideration the effects of wave propagation in the subsurface structure when designing an acquisition geometry. We developed a new, model-based...

A measurement system for production flight tests of new aircraft

Today there is an increasing pressure on the fast delivery of a newly manufactured aircraft and on the strict guarding of its performance figures. It is therefore essential to reduce the necessary time between completion of the new aircraft and the moment of deliverance to an airline. This means that production flight testing time must be...

IRAS end-to-end datasystem

The development of a complex data system involving many disciplines requires a strict control from the early phases of a project onwards, to ensure that all requirements are met within the technical and financial constraints. To exercise such control becomes more difficult when different institutes/organizations contribute to the system, the...
