AmbiMaster is a cross-platform processing software for massive seismic noise data developed by GeoSense(Wuhan) Technology Co., Ltd. based on C++. It supports parallel computing and multi-person online collaborative work. It is divided into four different versions:
● Basic version: Suitable for all seismology practitioners, supports micro-motion surface wave exploration of dozens of data, and has SPAC dispersion imaging, H/V, empirical Green's function and two-dimensional apparent shear wave velocity mapping functions. Currently, users can obtain the trial version for free through the official website.
● Standard version: For engineering survey users, it meets the needs of hundreds of micro-moving surface wave surveys. In addition to the functions of the basic version, it also adds a wealth of dispersion analysis methods, noise source analysis and correction, joint inversion of drilling data, HV curves, dispersion curves and other modules, and supports multi-person collaboration. This version is available as an annual paid subscription.
● Professional version: Targeted at scientific research institutes and seismology expert users, it supports thousand-channel background noise surface wave imaging. On the basis of the standard version, advanced modules such as Love wave surface wave imaging and two-dimensional and three-dimensional inversion are added. This version is available for an annual fee or as a one-time subscription for multiple years.
● Ultimate version: For industrial users such as geological exploration, oil and gas, and meet the management, analysis, processing and display needs of tens of thousands of massive data. Contains all the features of the Premium Version and provides more customized advanced modules. This version is a one-time purchase.
The AmbiMaster software series meets diverse user needs from basic to advanced through different versions of functions and subscription models, covering noise surface wave imaging application scenarios with different depth (scale) structures. See the table below for specific functional modules.
