Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seabed parametric array shallow stratum profile measurement and correction, in particular to a seabed parametric array shallow stratum profile measurement and correction method. Background Art

[0002] Marine seismic surveys have found that the original stratigraphic profiles collected by parametric array shallow-layer profilers are significantly affected by wind and wave conditions. In particular, when wind and wave conditions are poor, the shallow-layer profile reflection events are affected by the ship's roll and pitch, resulting in wave-like distortions. This results in poor shallow-seabed detection and requires rework. Therefore, targeted technical methods and measures are needed to reduce the impact of wave-induced ship roll, pitch, and heave errors on parametric array shallow-layer profile acquisition, thereby obtaining true stratum reflection acoustic wave travel time signals and improving shallow-seabed detection accuracy and resolution. Conventional parametric array shallow-layer profile measurements generally do not employ wave compensation or surge filters to measure wave-induced ship roll, pitch, and heave errors for seabed topography correction. The technical method for configuring a surge filter is relatively simple, but the main disadvantage is that configuring a single surge filter has limitations. In particular, when the survey vessel deviates from the survey line and turns, the hull will tilt to a certain extent to maintain balance. The surge filter will experience data output delays due to the eccentric force, and surge compensation errors will occur due to the influence of centrifugal acceleration. The error caused by the eccentricity of the transducer is a false error and is difficult to correct accurately. Figure 1 Between points 25 and 50 of the track, the ship yaws due to turning. If the swell data is used to correct the acoustic travel time, it will create the illusion of convex or concave seabed topography, resulting in poor recording of the original shallow layer profile. Figure 2 ), which affects the resolution of shallow formations. Therefore, the conventional surge filter method cannot effectively solve the problem of acoustic wave travel time correction in shallow formation profiles of parametric array.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs a seabed parametric array shallow stratum profile measurement correction method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016]

[0017] Where: X(t): time domain acoustic wave signal; X(w): frequency domain acoustic wave signal; H(w): bandpass filter; X^(w): filtered frequency domain signal; X^(t): filtered time domain signal.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention, the parametric array shallow layer profile data also includes post-processing of the original shallow layer profile data. The specific steps of the post-processing include: obtaining pre-processed profile data by attitude correction, filtering, and noise suppression of the original shallow layer profile, and reconstructing the resolution of the pre-processed profile data to obtain high-precision parametric array shallow layer profile data.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention, the dual-antenna positioning system is used for data acquisition; the inertial navigation module is used to: after the navigation coordinate system is established by the output of the gyroscope, calculate the speed and position of the vehicle in the navigation coordinate system according to the output of the accelerometer.

[0020] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the system further includes a transducer, including a main antenna, an auxiliary antenna, and an IPOS host; the transducer is used to convert electrical energy, mechanical energy, or acoustic energy from one form of energy into another form of energy; the main antenna is used for main reception of electromagnetic waves; the auxiliary antenna is used for diversity reception of electromagnetic waves; and the IPOS host is used as a measurement machine for storage device performance testing.

[0022] To verify the effectiveness and practicality of this invention, inertial navigation technology was applied to parametric array shallow subsurface profile measurements to reduce wave-induced errors in ship roll, pitch, and heave. The seafloor was corrected to be flat, restoring the true subsurface structure. This improved the accuracy of shallow subsurface measurements and optimized the resolution of shallow strata. Multiple tests have demonstrated that using inertial navigation attitude parameter processing and correction can obtain a true shallow subsurface profile structure, achieving centimeter-level resolution for shallow subsurface profile data, truly achieving high-precision and high-resolution marine subsurface measurements.
