Abstract

Underwater Seismic Imaging (USI) is an acoustic technology that can provide the geographic information of seafloor and sub-seafloor. A laboratory sized scaled experiment system of the underwater seismic imaging system is designed and built to support the imaging and inversion algorithm research of USI. It integrates the fundamental electronic instruments and acoustic sensors with computer and basic control programs, can providing the ability of scaled USI experiments for real dimension as 2000 meters wide and 1500 meters depth, with real seismic frequency from 5Hz to 20Hz.
