Automatic Identification and Suppression of Random Noise and Methods for Profile Splicing in the Sub-Bottom Profile of Deep Water

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The complex topography of deep sea presents numerous challenges for the accurate exploration of sub-bottom profiles. These include real-time tracking of seafloor reflectors, acquisition and storage of deep-sea long-term reflection data, and splicing of successive profiles. Based on the actual survey data of deep sea, we have developed automatic positioning and noise suppression algorithms, namely the double-difference threshold of proximity points. Furthermore, we have created automatic algorithms, namely content expansion and group data moving, based on extremum in seafloor’s depth. These have been designed to automatically suppress the random noise and effectively splice the sub-bottom profile data in deep water. The aforementioned processing techniques facilitate the enhancement of the quality of deep-water sub-bottom profile data, thereby enabling the provision of a comprehensive and successively long profile for interpretation in the context of deep-water sub-bottom profile data.
