Spherical-wave offset-dependent reflectivity is investigated by measuring ultrasonic reflection amplitudes from a water/Plexiglas interface. The experimental results show substantial deviation of the measured amplitudes from the plane-wave reflection coefficients at large angles. However, full-wave numerical simulations of the point source reflection response using the reflectivity algorithm show excellent agreement with the measurements, demonstrating that the deviation from the plane-wave response is caused by the wavefront curvature. To analyze the effect of wavefront curvature on elastic inversion, we simulate the spherical-wave reflectivity at different frequencies and invert for elastic parameters by least-square fitting of the plane-wave (Zoeppritz) solution. The results show that the two-parameter inversion based on the intercept and gradient is robust, although estimation of three parameters ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and density) that use the curvature of the offset variation with angle (AVA) response is prone to substantial frequency-dependent errors. We propose an alternative approach to parameter estimation, one that uses critical angles estimated from AVA curves (instead of the AVA curvature). This approach shows a significant improvement in the estimation of elastic parameters, and it could be applied to class 1 AVO responses.

We present a new closed-form solution to the scattering of a monochromatic plane wave by a radially multilayered gyrotropic sphere using the T-matrix method. This approach can be utilized to investigate the interactions of a plane wave and a gyrotropic spherical scatterer of multiple layers with each layer characterized by both permittivity and permeability tensors. Based on the completeness and noncoplanar properties of vector spherical wave functions (VSWFs), analytical expressions of the electromagnetic fields in each gyrotropic layer are first derived. The boundary conditions are then applied on each discontinuous interface to obtain the scattering coefficients. Validations are made by first comparing the radar cross section (RCS) values of a 2-layered gyrotropic sphere with that computed from the full-wave finite element method (FEM) simulation and then reducing the general case to uniaxial case to compare the RCS values with the published results computed by Fourier transform combined with VSWFs method; in both cases good agreements are observed. Several specific cases are fully explored to investigate how the RCS are influenced by the parameters of the multilayered spherical structure. The results show that when both electric and magnetic gyrotropy tensors are considered, the RCS of the multilayered spherical scatterer can be suppressed or enhanced, depending on proper configurations of the material parameters.

In this paper we describe and analyze a method based on local least square fitting for estimating the normals at all sample points of a point cloud data (PCD) set, in the presence of noise. We study the effects of neighborhood size, curvature, sampling density, and noise on the normal estimation when the PCD is sampled from a smooth curve in ℝ2or a smooth surface in ℝ3, and noise is added. The analysis allows us to find the optimal neighborhood size using other local information from the PCD. Experimental results are also provided.

We evaluate the performance of traveltime tomography and full-wave inversion (FWI) for near-surface modeling using the data from a shallow seismic field experiment. Eight boreholes up to 20-m depth have been drilled along the seismic line traverse to verify the accuracy of the P-wave velocity-depth model estimated by seismic inversion. The velocity-depth model of the soil column estimated by traveltime tomography is in good agreement with the borehole data. We used the traveltime tomography model as an initial model and performed FWI. Full-wave acoustic and elastic inversions, however, have failed to converge to a velocity-depth model that desirably should be a high-resolution version of the model estimated by traveltime tomography. Moreover, there are significant discrepancies between the estimated models and the borehole data. It is understandable why full-wave acoustic inversion would fail — land seismic data inherently are elastic wavefields. The question is: Why does full-wave elastic inversion also fail? The strategy to prevent full-wave elastic inversion of vertical-component geophone data trapped in a local minimum that results in a physically implausible near-surface model may be cascaded inversion. Specifically, we perform traveltime tomography to estimate a P-wave velocity-depth model for the near-surface and Rayleigh-wave inversion to estimate an S-wave velocity-depth model for the near-surface, then use the resulting pairs of models as the initial models for the subsequent full-wave elastic inversion. Nonetheless, as demonstrated by the field data example here, the elastic-wave inversion yields a near-surface solution that still is not in agreement with the borehole data. Here, we investigate the limitations of FWI applied to land seismic data for near-surface modeling.

This paper considers plane wave coupling to a transmission line consisting of an aerial wire above a conducting ground. Simple circuit models are constructed for the terminating impedances at the ends of the line including radiation effects. We consider the following load topologies: open circuit, short circuit, and grounded rods. Results from the transmission line model with these loads show good agreement with full-wave simulations.

Firstly the one-dimension digital fractional order Savitzky-Golay differentiator (1-D DFOSGD), which generalizes the Savitzky-Golay filter from the integer order to the fractional order, is proposed to estimate the fractional order derivative of the noisy signal. The polynomial least square fitting technology and the Riemann-Liouville fractional order derivative definition are used to ensure robust and accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that 1-D DFOSGD can estimate the fractional order derivatives of both ideal signal and noisy signal accurately. Secondly, the two-dimension DFOSGD is obtained from 1-D DFOSGD by defining a group of direction operators, and a new image enhancing method based on 2-D DFOSGD is presented. Experiments demonstrate that 2-D DFOSGD has very good performance on image enhancement.
