Scanned Seismic and Sidescan Sections

JPEG2000

An ongoing effort to scan and convert all of GSC’s analog marine survey field records ( seismic, sidescan and sounder )  to digital format.,

 

These records have been scanned at 300 dpi and were converted into JPEG2000 format.

 

Install the application QCJP2 to convert these sections into BMP files at reduced scale or to adjust tonal balance in JP2 files.

 

Files are located in directories referenced by the  expedition name

 

To view images, download the free IE/Firefox plugin at :

At the moment, these are geospatially unregistered images.

 

These files can be converted into rectified SEGY files using RegJP2000

Digital Seismic and Sidescan Data

SGYJP2

Compressed SEGY/JPEG2000 files.

 

Segy files can be encoded in this format using the application sequence :

 

Combine Sgy => SegyJp2

 

Navigation from ED can be inserted using the application :

 

MergeNav

 

Data can be viewed and interpreted using :

 

SegyJp2_Viewer

Windows

Xp

This tool may be used to query GSC’s marine survey data holdings. It contains all of GSC’s navigation track data and all of the related PAD data for this cruises. It may be used as a planning and assessment tool for harvesting geophysical data in area of interest.

 

This tool is also used to merge navigation derived from ED into headers of SGYJP2 files. It provides rudimentary layback correction.
