On Some DOA Algorithms for Tri-axial Geophone
Abstract
In this paper a short study of some basic methods of DOA of a seismic wave using so called tri-axial geophone has been presented. The proposed methods exploit the properties of Rayleigh surface plane wave to find DOA of an incoming seismic wave using inner products of appropriately filtered signals recorded by geophones. The advantage of the proposed method is its simplicity and ease of implementation in small DSP or application processors still retaining pretty good accuracy. A number of example results for real data have been given.
