Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a seismic system having an array of nodes, each capable of emitting and detecting seismic signals. The array of nodes is mounted on a mobile platform in a certain geometry and is configured to acquire subsurface data, and more particularly detect shallow buried objects, while being translated over a surface. Such a seismic system allows for high subsurface point redundancy by providing a large number of channels of data used to sum the energy at a point in the subsurface. In other aspects, the invention relates to methods for processing the acquired data to increase signal-to-noise ratio. In still other aspects, the invention relates to methods for imaging the data for visualization on a display.
