Optimized Non-hyperbolic Stack Imaging Based on Interpretation Model

In complex media, especially for seismic prospecting in deep layers in East China and in the mountainous area in West China, due to the complex geological condition, the common-mid-point （CMP） gather of deep reflection event is neither hyperbolic, nor any simple function. If traditional normal move-out （NMO） and stack imaging technology are still used, it is difficult to get a clear stack image. Based on previous techniques on non-hyperbolic stack, it is thought in this paper that no matter how complex the geological condition is, in order to get an optimized stack image, the stack should be non time move-out stack, and any stacking method limited to some kind of curve will be restricted to application conditions. In order to overcome the above-mentioned limit, a new method called optimized non-hyperbolic stack imaging based on interpretation model is presented in this paper. Based on CMP/CRP （Common-Reflection-Point） gather after NMO or pre-stack migration, this method uses the interpretation model of reflectors as constraint, and takes comparability as a distinguishing criterion, and finally forms a residual move-out correction for the gather of constrained model. Numerical simulation indicates that this method could overcome the non hyperbolic problem and get fine stack image.

Inverse gaussian beam stack imaging in 3D crosswell seismic exploration of deviated wells and Its application

In crosswell seismic exploration,the imaging section produced by migration based on a wave equation has a serious arc phenomenon at its edge and a small effective range because of geometrical restrictions.Another imaging section produced by the VSP-CDP stack imaging method employed with ray-tracing theory is amplitude-preserved.However,imaging 3D complex lithological structures accurately with this method is difficult.Therefore,this study proposes inverse Gaussian beam stack imaging in the 3D crosswell seismic exploration of deviated wells on the basis of Gaussian beam ray-tracing theory.By employing Gaussian beam ray-tracing theory in 3D crosswell seismic exploration,we analyzed the energy relationship between seismic wave fields and their effective rays.In imaging,the single-channel seismic wave fi eld data in the common shot point gather are converted into multiple effective wave fields in the common reflection point gather by the inverse Gaussian beam.The process produces a large fold number of intensive reflection points.Selected from the horizontal and vertical directions of the 2D measuring line,the wave fi elds of the eff ective reflection points in the same stack bin are projected onto the 2D measuring line,chosen according to the distribution characteristics of the reflection points,and stacked into an imaging section.The method is applied to X oilfi eld to identify the internal structure of the off shore gas cloud area.The results provided positive support for the inverse Gaussian beam stack imaging of 3D complex lithological structures and proved that technology is a powerful imaging tool for 3D crosswell seismic data processing.

Improvement of User's Accuracy Through Classification of Principal Component Images and Stacked Temporal Images

The classification accuracy of the various categories on the classified remotely sensed images are usually evaluated by two different measures of accuracy, namely, producer＇s accuracy （PA） and user＇s accuracy （UA）. The PA of a category indicates to what extent the reference pixels of the category are correctly classified, whereas the UA of a category represents to what extent the other categories are less misclassified into the category in question. Therefore, the UA of the various categories determines the reliability of their interpretation on the classified image and is more important to the analyst than the PA. The present investigation has been performed in order to determine if there occurs improvement in the UA of the various categories on the classified image of the principal components of the original bands and on the classified image of the stacked image of two different years. We performed the analyses using the IRS LISS Ⅲ images of two different years, i.e., 1996 and 2009, that represent the different magnitude of urbanization and the stacked image of these two years pertaining to Ranchi area, Jharkhand, India, with a view to assessing the impacts of urbanization on the UA of the different categories. The results of the investigation demonstrated that there occurs significant improvement in the UA of the impervious categories in the classified image of the stacked image, which is attributable to the aggregation of the spectral information from twice the number of bands from two different years. On the other hand, the classified image of the principal components did not show any improvement in the UA as compared to the original images.
