Title: Innovations by Robert G McBeath
Introduction
Robert G McBeath is a notable inventor based in Richardson, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of geophysics, particularly in seismic data processing. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the methods used in interpreting seismic signals.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Interpolation of Aliased Seismic Traces." This invention provides a method for interpolating spatially aliased seismic data. The method produces high-resolution interpolated data based on a locally planar model of reflection events. It utilizes a two-dimensional power diversity slant stack process that transforms the data from the t-x-y domain to the t-xslope-yslope domain. Additionally, this invention offers an improved technique for the 3D interpolation of aliased events and is applicable to the interpolation of 2D seismic data.
Another significant patent by McBeath is the "Noise Attenuation Method." This method addresses the challenge of attenuating coherent and incoherent noise in seismic signal data. The seismic signal data is transformed from a time-space domain using a Radon-transform domain. In this domain, coherent noise is attenuated by muting, while incoherent noise is reduced through diversity stacking. The remaining data in the Radon-transform domain is then transformed back to the time-space domain using an inverse Radon transform.
