Abstract
To enable analysis of a signal associated with surveying a subterranean structure, a processing system receives a time series of the signal associated with surveying the subterranean structure. A visualization of the time series is generated, where the visualization is a time-based representation of a characteristic of the signal. The visualization enables a determination of whether undesirable variations occur with the signal over time.
Claims20
A method to enable analysis of a signal associated with surveying of a subterranean structure, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing system, a time series of the signal associated with surveying the subterranean structure;
- and
- generating, by the processing system, a visualization of the time series of the signal, wherein the visualization depicts a representation of a waveform of the signal in a first time window, and wherein the waveform of the signal in the first time window is presented by the visualization over a second time window larger than the first time window to enable a determination of whether a characteristic of the signal in the first time window varies over time.
An article comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause a computer system to:
- receive a time series of a survey source signal used for performing surveying of a subterranean structure;
- and
- generate a visualization to be displayed in a display monitor of the computer system, where the visualization is a time-based visualization of a waveform of the survey source signal in a base period of the survey source signal, and wherein the time-based visualization further provides a representation of the waveform of the signal in the first time window over a second time window that is larger than the first time window.
A computer system comprising:
- a storage to store a time series of a survey source signal that is used for surveying a subterranean structure;
- and
- a processor to:
- generate a visualization of the time series of the survey source signal, wherein the visualization depicts a representation of a waveform of the survey source signal in a first time window, and where the waveform of the survey source signal in the first time window is presented by the visualization over a second time window larger than the first time window to enable a determination of whether a characteristic of the signal in the first time window varies over time.
