Enhancing the detection of small coal structures by seismic diffraction imaging

B Zhou, P Hatherly, W Sun - International Journal of Coal Geology, 2017 - Elsevier
Faults are the most important geological structures that need to be detected in any modern
underground coal mining project. Even a fault with a throw of a few metres can create safety …

Seismic diffraction imaging for improved coal structure detection by a structure-oriented moving average error filter

B Zhou, M Pavlova, R Sliwa… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Instead of dismissing seismic diffractions as interfering noise and ignoring or suppressing
them, they can be used to identify small geological discontinuities such as faults, dykes, and …

Seismic diffraction imaging for improved coal structure detection in complex geological environments

B Zhou, W Sun - ASEG Extended Abstracts, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
To provide a “no major surprises” guarantee of coal seam conditions, reflection seismic
surveying is often used for delineation of faults and dykes that have the potential to disrupt …
