System and method for visualizing multiple-sensor subsurface imaging data
First Claim
1. A method for use with a user interface comprising a display, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of sensor data sets acquired during movement of a plurality of disparate types of sensors configured for sensing of a subsurface along a path via a movable platform, each of the sensor data sets comprising sensor data samples each associated with geographic position data acquired by a positioning sensor situated on the moveable platform;
providing positional offset data defining a positional offset of each sensor relative to the positioning sensor;
correcting for curvilinear dynamic motion of the movable platform using the positional offset data to produce corrected sensor data sets;
associating the geographic position data with the sensor data samples of each of the corrected sensor data sets relative to a reference frame; and
displaying a graphical representation of each of the corrected sensor data sets overlaid within a volume depicted on the display.

Abstract
A user interface includes a display for displaying of a plurality of sensor data sets representative of signals associated with a plurality of sensors configured for sensing of a subsurface. At least some of the sensors are configured for subsurface sensing in a manner differing from other sensors of the plurality of sensors. Each of the sensor data sets comprises sensor data samples each associated with geographic position data. The sensor data sets are shown overlaid within a volume depicted on the display. The graphical representations of the sensor data sets are individually viewable within the volume and displayed in geographical alignment relative to one another within the volume in accordance with the geographic position data of the sensor data samples of each of the sensor data sets.
