Translation from PtNorms to Regular DDS Grid

PtNorms2dds

Transforms PtNorms data into a regular, rectangular surface according to criteria set by the field= argument. Any dds supported format can be used for the output. (i.e. usp, fcube, segy, disco, ...)

Syntax Summary

PtNorms2dds fn_norms=Input_PtNorms_file
out=outfile
axis= x y z
delta.x=10
delta.y=20
size.x=100
size.y=200
nx=100
ny=200
format= usp dx=10
dy=20
field= X | Y | Z | Tx | Ty | Tz | Time| EL| AZ| Fold

Field Selection

The field= argument can be used to select any of the columns from the PtNorms file as the values sent to the output gridded surface. That is you may elect to create a time surface, depth surface, direction surface, fold surface, and even an "x" surface.
field= Fold (or F or f ) causes the output file to contain a count of the number of rays that hit each bin.
field= EL | ELevation | elevation causes the output dds file to contain the degrees from vertical of the ray direction. (assuming that tx**2+ty**2+tz**2=1. )
field= AZ | AZimuth causes the output file to contain the degrees E of north (assuming that the 1 axis points north).
field= Tx | Ty | Tz causes the output file to contain the corresponding direction cosine of the ray propagation direction.
field=X | Y | Z causes the output surface to contain the X, Y, or Z location of of the ray. That is, field= Z will cause the output file to contain a depth surface.
field= Time | t | T causes the output file to contain the travel time.
