NAME

bimg - BSU program that cross correlates by relative offset cases (Fortran Version)

SYNOPSIS

bimg [ -h | infile t1 t2 tlagmx jnear jfar ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) cross correlates traces with each other. Useful in cases of passive seismic sources. Output is sorted by relative offsets. The range of offsets is set by jnear and jfar (units of traces). The smallest offset is 1 trace separation, the maximum is the available near to far offset, but that will only be a single instance. Average group interval computed, assumed all traces are equally spaced. Acausal output is for waves propagating in one direction, causal section for waves propagating in the opposite direction (see file bimgxxxx.seg). The acausal and causal portions are combined without any weighting in second output file (see file BIMGxxxx.seg). Assumes all sources in line with geophones (no azimuthal corrections for apparent velocity). Likely use is traffic noise acquired along a road. Fortran-Language Version.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile

Input file name

t1

Start time in seconds (float) of correlation gate.

t2

End time in seconds (float) of correlation gate.

tlagmx

Maximum lag time (2 sides) of cross correlation. Example, if tlagmx=4.0 seconds, then 0 to 2.0 seconds is acausal side, 2.0 to 4.0 seconds is causal side of output.

jnear

The minimum offset to be output in correlations. This will be 1 trace appart or more. The units are traces, an integer. For example, if we have a 48 trace record, the maximum amount of output will result if jnear = 1.

jfar

The maximum offset to be output in correlations. This will less than or equal to the separation between the near and far trace. The units are traces, an integer. For example, ifwe have a 48 trace record, jfar = 48 is the largest value. While there will be only one instance of this separation, the number of output offsets are stacked traces where the stack decreases with offset. If N=number traces in record, then the maximum number of possible offsets are computed:

N_offsets=(N-1) + (N-2) + (N-3) + . . . + (N-(N-1)). Thus for N=6, 15 traces will be output for jnear=1 and jfar=6. The near offset case will be 5 fold stack, and a single fold at the furthermost offset. A higher fold at the far offset output instance results from decreasing jfar.

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
bimg w001.seg 0. 20. 4. 1 24

File w001.seg is processed by bimg. Time gate is 0 to 20 seconds, cross correlation (2 sided) is 4 seconds. Output traces are cross corrlated result.

FILES

bimgxxxx.seg

Two sided correlation output. Named according to convention (first 4char bimg, the next 4char are the first 4char of the input file name, suffix .seg)

BIMGxxxx.seg

One sided corrlation, combined causal and acausal in a sum. Named according to convention (first 4char bimg, the next 4char are the first 4char of the input file name, suffix .seg)

standard output

produces a progress bar

bimgxxxx.lst

Echo check of input parameters in listing file.
