Abstract
An apparatus includes a mechanical wave source; a set of mechanical wave sensors in a borehole to provide subsurface wave measurements based on formation waves from the mechanical wave source, and a processor. The apparatus also includes a machine-readable medium having program code to acquire the subsurface wave measurements, select a first set of tool wave measurements based on the subsurface wave measurements, and generate a set of filtered subsurface wave measurements by filtering the subsurface wave measurements based on the first set of tool wave measurements. The program code also includes instructions to generate a time-domain semblance map based on the set of filtered subsurface wave measurements, wherein the time-domain semblance map includes an initial set of compression wave peaks, determine a selected qualified compression wave peak based on a semblance value in the time-domain semblance map, and determine a compression wave slowness based on the selected qualified compression wave peak.
