The Bullseye vent, an approximately 500-m -diameter deep-sea, hydrate-related cold vent on the midslope offshore Vancouver Island, was imaged in a high-resolution multichannel survey by the Deep-towed Acoustics and Geophysics System (DTAGS) The structure was drilled by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program at site U1328. Towed about 300 m above the seafloor, the high-frequency (220–820 Hz) DTAGS system provides a high vertical and lateral resolution image. The major problems in imaging with DTAGS data are nonlinear variations of the source depths and receiver locations. The high-frequency, short-wavelength data require very accurate positioning of source and receivers for stacking and velocity analyses. New routines were developed for optimal processing, including receiver cable geometry estimation from node depths, direct arrivals and sea-surface reflections using a genetic algorithm inversion method, and acoustic image stitching based on relative source positioning bycrosscorrelating redundant data betw...
