Abstract: Sensor data fusion systems that provide noise reduction and fault protection. The sensor data fusion system fuses data acquired by respective accelerometers having different attributes. For example, one accelerometer has low noise and high bias, while another accelerometer has high noise and low bias when measuring specific force. The high-noise, low-bias accelerometer may be a gravimeter. Gravimeters and traditional accelerometers measure the same physical variable, i.e., specific force. By combining an expensive gravimeter and low-cost accelerometers, a synthetic sensor having both low noise and low bias may be achieved. Such synthetic sensors may be utilized in a gravity anomaly-referenced navigation system to achieve improved navigation performance.

Abstract: Method estimating property fields based on full waveform inversion (FWI) of synthetic wave-fronts converging to a focal zone within the media volume. The wave-fronts are generated from multipoint focused macro sources (FMSs) directing the propagating energy to the focal zone. Two focusing macro-source configurations are disclosed: (1) a convergent FMS characterized by primary pseudo elliptical wave-fronts and (2) a set of beam FMSs of pseudo-planar wave-front that illuminates the focal point from different directions. The FMSs are synthetized from the data set recorded by superposing (adding) the recorded data after the corresponding time-shifts and amplitude weighs. The sensitivity of the FMS data is spatially localized in this invention, being maximal around the focal and negligible at locations far from the focal zone. The localized FWI method disclosed involves an important reduction in computational cost compared to the global solution of the FWI problem in the complete volume under exploration.
