Abstract:
This disclosure describes a system and method for generating subsurface image data by inducing a first acoustic energy in a fluid contained within a pipe network at a predetermined location. The acoustic energy propagates through the pipe network and into a subsurface in which the pipe network is contained and is then recorded using an array of transducers. The recorded acoustic energy is provided as input to a machine learning algorithm to generate image data associated with the subsurface, which is used to generate a subsurface model for presentation in a graphical user interface.
