COMPRESSION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL SONIC DATA

摘要

Compression of multidimensional sonic data is disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein to compress input multidimensional sonic data include decorrelating the input multidimensional sonic data to determine decorrelated multidimensional sonic data. In some such examples, the input multidimensional sonic data has a plurality of dimensions corresponding to a respective plurality of azimuthal directions from which the input multidimensional sonic data was obtained. In such examples, the decorrelated multidimensional sonic data is decorrelated among the plurality of dimensions of the input multidimensional sonic data. Such example methods also include processing the decorrelated multidimensional sonic data to determine compressed data representative of the input multidimensional sonic data.
