ANALYSIS OF SEISMIC DATAANALYSIS OF SEISMIC DATA

• Earthquake data from the USA, China, India, Turkey, Iceland etc

• Main areas of seismic activity

• Recorded data needs de-trending, filtering and de-convoluted

Independent Component Independent Component AnalysisAnalysis

• Called the cocktail party problem

• ICA consists of estimating the matrix A

• find inverse of A

• Which leads to an estimate of si(t) the sources in the cocktail party

IC Design using Mentor GraphicsIC Design using Mentor Graphics

• Using CAD tools • schematic capture• hardware description

language (VHDL)• Designing Digital

Filters• Fixed and Floating

point multipliers

• Can use FPGA’s• or send for

manufacture to a silicon foundry, usually IMEC
