AMS-120 Resolution

Goal:                                        Locate 8 inch pipeline

Recording Parameters:            2048 pixels per side
                                                 150 meter Range
                                                 4.8 cm Pulse Width
                                                 1 ping per 200 ms

Theoretical Resolution:            7cm ~ 2.9 inches = 1 pixel

Expanded view using the 'Target.exe' utility from Triton Imaging Inc. Isis® Sonar data processing suite.

(Image is not geocorrected and is oriented to the bearing of the trackline - thereby removing any possible processing-related distortion)

As shown, the pipeline is two to three pixels wide at 2.88 inches per pixel. Therefore, this pipeline is from 5.76 to 8.62 inches in diameter.




Goal:                                        Locate 20 inch pipeline

Recording Parameters:            2048 pixels per side
                                                 150 meter Range
                                                 4.8 cm Pulse Width
                                                 1 ping per 200 ms

Theoretical Resolution:            7cm ~ 2.9 inches = 1 pixel
