Abstract

In the seismic interferometry (SI) method, cross correlation of seismic recordings at two receivers is performed to retrieve an estimate of the seismic trace at one of the receivers while the other acts as a so-called “virtual source” to obtain subsurface information. In this article, basic SI theories are described, and past cases in which SI methods were used are analyzed. SI, which mainly uses cross correlation, can be performed using deconvolution or coherence, and each SI method can be applied to seismic reflection, refraction, and surface wave survey data. Because the virtual source can be positioned at all receiver locations and active sources are not necessary, SI is an extremely effective monitoring technique. SI has been applied to such fields as geological imaging, fault detection, and structural health.

탄성파 간섭법은 측정한 트레이스들 사이의 간섭현상을 이용하여 가상의 송신원을 생성하고 새로운 탄성파 신호를 만들어 지하매질에 관한 정보를 얻는 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 탄성파 간섭법의 기본적인 이론과 활용방법 그리고 실제 적용사례들을 분석해 기술보고 형식으로 소개하고자 한다. 탄성파 간섭법에는 교차상관(cross correlation)을 이용하는 가장 기본적인 방법과 곱풀기(deconvolution), 결맞음(coherence)을 이용하는 방법들이 있으며 각각의 방법들은 탄성파 반사파, 굴절파, 표면파 탐사데이터에 적용될 수 있다. 모든 수신기 위치에 가상 송신원을 위치시킬 수 있고 인공적인 송신원이 필요없다는 장점 때문에 모니터링 분야에서 큰 효과를 보여준다. 탄성파 간섭법을 적용하고 있는 분야로는 크게 지하구조 영상화와 건축물 안정성 평가로 나눌 수 있으며 지질 구조 영상화, 단층의 유무 판단, 모니터링 등 다양하게 사용된다.
