The Velocity Module analyses ‘active’ data for velocity and amplitude information. Active data is produced from a man-made source such as a shot or a transmitter.
P and S-wave transmission velocities are calculated from time of flight between source and receiver using the picked arrivals.
A waveform cross-correlation algorithm allows P and S-wave velocity changes to be calculated precisely between repeated surveys.
The cross-correlation (CCR) algorithm can be configured to the data quality with various waveform processing functions being applied.
CCR provides efficient automatic processing of surveys for velocity data resulting in 1000s of surveys being processed automatically.
Signal amplitude information from the arrivals is also obtained for use in attenuation studies.
