The SEG LARAC Committee is very glad to announce a new translation project from English to Spanish. This time, the selected title is “Digital Imaging and Deconvolution: The ABCs of Seismic Exploration and Processing” written by Enders A. Robinson and Sven Treitel.
In this book, nominated by the Association of Earth Science Editors award for best geoscience publication of 2008–2009, the authors cover the basic ideas and methods used in seismic processing. This volume is intended for geophysicists, graduate students, and undergraduates in geophysics. However, it can also be helpful to scientists and engineers in other disciplines who use digital signal processing to analyze and image wave-motion data in remote-detection applications.
The book covers topics such as wave motion, digital imaging, digital filtering, visualization aspects of the seismic reflection method, sampling theory, wavelets and wavelet processing, deconvolution, seismic attributes and seismic attenuation among others. At the end of the book the reader can find a detailed mathematical overview. The methods described are also important in areas like optical imaging, video imaging, medical and biological imaging, acoustical analysis, radar, and sonar.
There is no doubt this is a huge project, and it is going to be immensely helpful for geoscientist in the Latin American region and around the globe. To successfully achieve this project, the LARAC committee is looking for volunteers that are able to work in a team, fluent in English/Spanish and have some knowledge in applied geophysics.
The kickoff of the project will be in April 2021 and it is expected to last between 6-9 months, although it can be extended to one year. For more information about the qualifications needed for this task the reader can follow this link or contact us at lastudent.conference@seg.org.
