This invention belongs to the field of seismic
image signal processing, and provides a method and related apparatus for digitizing short-period seismograph observation maps. The method includes: removing
noise from scanned short-period seismograph observation map images to obtain denoised images; using a correction formula based on the length of the recording pen, correcting for arc
distortion in the denoised images to obtain arc-
distortion-corrected images; since the images also have tilt
distortion, based on the working principle of short-period seismographs, deriving an inherent displacement formula for the recording pen, and using this formula to correct for tilt distortion in the arc-distortion-corrected images to obtain distortion-free seismic waveform images; and digitizing the distortion-free seismic waveform images. This application solves the problem mentioned in the background art that previous solutions only completed the electronic scanning and storage of simulated seismic observation maps, without realizing the
digitization of the electronic image waveforms, by performing image preprocessing and
digitization processing on simulated seismic observation maps.
