Remote acoustic classification of marine sediments with application to offshore Newfoundland
Shallow marine sediments can be remotely classified by the spatial correlation properties of their seismic reflection signatures provided one uses a highly repetitive broadband acoustic source. A classification scheme defined by three spatial coherence parameters is shown capable of automatically di...

| Summary: | Shallow marine sediments can be remotely classified by the spatial correlation properties of their seismic reflection signatures provided one uses a highly repetitive broadband acoustic source. A classification scheme defined by three spatial coherence parameters is shown capable of automatically differentiating between several formations of unconsolidated sediments in a limited area of offshore Newfoundland. The consistency and generality of the technique are explored and comparisons with standard echogram interpretation are made. |
