摘要:
Disclosed are control systems for marine vibrators. An example method may comprise recording a signal at a seismic sensor; running an iterative learning control characterization for a marine vibrator on the signal from the seismic sensor; measuring movement of an outer shell of the marine vibrator using a motion sensor to obtain a motion sensor signal; and controlling the marine vibrator using the motion sensor signal as a reference signal.

An apparatus for geophysical source steering including a first marine vibrator source having a first housing structure; a first vibrational surface (110) functionally coupled to the first housing structure such that at least a portion of the first vibrational surface can vibrate relative to the first housing structure; and first steering control equipment.
摘要:
A first portion of electric potentials generated by a first detector and a second detector of a hydrophone can be isolated, wherein the first portion is indicative of particle motion. A second portion of the electric potentials generated by the first detector and the second detector of the hydrophone can be isolated, wherein the second portion is indicative of pressure.
摘要:
A system can include a first array of hydrophones and a second array of hydrophones. Each of the hydrophones can include a first detector and a second detector. A sensitivity of the first detector can be matched with a sensitivity of the second detector and a combined sensitivity of the first array of hydrophones can be matched with a combined sensitivity of the second array of hydrophones.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed relating to control of seismic sources such as marine vibrators. According to some embodiments, iterative learning control (ILC) systems may be used to control such vibrator including an excitation signal and seismic sources. According to some embodiments, a control unit provides first input signals to the marine vibrator which include an excitation signal and a high-amplitude, low-frequency signal, the latter is operable to decrease friction effects in the marine vibrator. Furthermore local sensor(s) placed in, on, or near a seismic source and/or remote sensors placed in the far-field region to measure the acoustic output of the marine vibrator. The control unit is further configured to generate initial values for a transfer function of the marine vibrator based on the measured acoustic output.
