Release of TomoPlus Version 4.3  
A Completely New Exciting Experience for Near-Surface Solutions  
   
 
 

 

TomoPlus New Features and Fixes

This release is made on January 20, 2010
 
Traveltime File Format: it is changed from the ASCII file .tt (2D) and the binary file .3dttb (3D) to a binary .gtt file (for both 2D and 3D traveltime picks). This change has been made throughout the TomoPlus system, and it allows fast graphical display and calculation associated with traveltimes. Format conversion is offered in Utility to convert between .tt and .gtt, and between .3dttb and .gtt. This change is also designed for dealing with large traveltime files with sizes potentially larger than 2 Gb. Detailed file format is described in the file format section. It includes a lot more information than the previous traveltime files.
 
Software Module Display: it is changed from one window for one module display to a single display window with multiple modules. This new design avoids making many clicks for opening and closing window after each step, and also takes advantage of highly efficient Java performance on the current level of computers. After users finish a module and move to the next, the previous display is still available for quick display at any stage. It does not need to reload any file.
 

Local Cluster Node Selection: in the previous versions, a cluster node list is created in the software directory and all of users use the same list to select working nodes. This is inconvenient for companies with a large number of computation nodes and each group uses different nodes. This version allows users creating a local node list and storing that in the home directory. If this list exists, the software will use this list as a selection basis. If not, the software will look into the list in the program directory as before.

 
Sorting Gathers and CMP Processing: this release includes 2D/3D capabilities in the processing module to generate CMP, CAG, COG, CSG, and CRG gathers, apply NMO, pick stacking velocities, and produce CMP stack for statics QC.
 
2D/3D Delay-Time Solutions: it has been improved for efficient branch picking, and the stability and accuracy of the solutions. By default, it now outputs grid velocity models as the starting models for tomography. It may also output layer model for statics calculation.
 
2DIMAGING: 2D time-domain early-arrival waveform tomography has been officially released in this version. It applies 2D acoustic finite-difference modeling and a nonlinear inversion algorithm to invert the near-surface P-wave velocities. A graphical tool for comparing real data and calculated waveforms is also released for result QC.
 
2DPROCESSING: it allows extracting wavelet for every shot in a number of ways and outputs a SEGY file for performing 2D time-domain waveform tomography.
 
2D/3DPROCESSING: display and compare processing results with two separate windows for before and after. It also allows displaying any attribute of an input gather in a graphical window.
 

Multiple 3D SEGY Files: this new release allows creating a project for importing multiple 3D SEGY data files, and bringing these SEGY files into processing workflow.

 
3DPICKER: it adds a function to extract a 2D line from a 3D project, and then process the 2D line.
 
2DVIEWM: A parallel version of 2D acoustic finite-difference modeling program is included in this release. Users may use it to generate synthetic waveform data and test with waveform tomography.
 
2DVIEWM: a 2D geometry builder is added in this module for creating any 2D survey geometry for running 2D raytracing or finite-difference modeling. This builder allows creating source groups with different source spacing or receiver groups with different spacing..
