METHODS OF TRANSIENT EM DATA COMPRESSION

摘要

A system and method to compress transient signals are described. The system includes a transmitter disposed in a borehole to change a transmitted current and induce a current in an earth formation, and a receiver disposed in the borehole to receive the transient signals resulting from the transmitted current. The system also includes a processor to compress the transient signals, the processor compressing the transient signals based on a spline approximation method or an Eigen value method for each transient signal based on whether the spline approximation method or the Eigen value method results in a fewer number of parameters representing the transient signal.

1. A system to compress transient signals, the system comprising:
a transmitter disposed in a borehole and configured to change a transmitted current and induce a current in an earth formation; a receiver disposed in the borehole and configured to receive the transient signals resulting from the transmitted current; and a processor configured to compress the transient signals, the processor configured to compress the transient signals based on a spline approximation method or an Eigen value method for each transient signal based on whether the spline approximation method or the Eigen value method results in a fewer number of parameters representing the transient signal.
