A SEISMIC DATA ANALYSIS CONSOLE

Abstract

A software system for a PDP-7 digital computer with a cathode ray tube display has been designed to process seismic data. The system permits quick visual inspection of digitized data and allows easy application of powerful programs which operate on the digitized data or on the results of previously used programs. Some operations which can be performed are: epicenter location, beamforming, magnitude, complexity and spectral ratio computation, filtering autocorrelation, Fourier transformation, sonogram generation and automatic event detection. A human operator is in the processing loop, inspecting the output at each step before applying the next. This system has greatly increased the speed and efficiency of much of our seismic data processing.
