ONE TOUCH DATA ACQUISITION

摘要

A seismic spread has a plurality of seismic stations positioned over a terrain of interest and a controller programmed to automate the data acquisition activity In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for forming a seismic spread by developing a preliminary map of suggested locations for seismic devices and later forming a final map having in-field determined location data for the seismic devices Each suggested location is represented by a virtual flag used to navigate to each suggested location A seismic device is placed at each suggested location and the precise location of the each placed seismic devices is determined by a navigation device The determined locations are used to form a second map based on the determined location of the one or more of the placed seismic devices Using the virtual flag eliminates having to survey the terrain and place physical markers and later remove them
