Impact point location based on seismic wave analysis

Seismic wave analysis technique is mostly used for geological prospecting, natural disasters prediction and many other areas. The current source location methods can´t satisfy the accuracy or system reaction time of locating the impact point of artillery. In this paper, the impact point location problem is investigated based on seismic wave analysis technique. A combination of the improved Geiger method and the Source-Scanning Algorithm technique is considered to solve this problem, the computing time is reduced greatly and location accuracy is improved highly. The results of synthetic field explosion experiments show that the modified method works well on the location of artillery impact point.
