Application of Cross-correlation Algorithm in Submarine Sediment Resistivity Measurement

This paper developed a resistivity measurement system on the platform of in-situ detector which based on seafloor drilling machine. In order to precisely process the weak voltage signal which outputted by the resistivity probe, the paper carried out the cross-correlation algorithm theoretical derivation and MATLAB simulation, then ported the algorithm to TMS320F28069 DSP processor and designed hardware. A mass of contrast experiment shows that the cross-correlation algorithm is an effective method to process weak signal. It can improve accuracy and anti-jamming ability of the submarine sediment resistivity measurement system. The method of submarine sediment resistivity measurement can be widely used in fields of marine geological survey, marine environment research, etc.
