Abstract:
1. A method for providing a seismic image of earth's subsurface, comprising: retrieving seismic data representative of earth's subsurface and acquired by deploying a plurality of seismic sensors proximate an area of the earth's subsurface to be evaluated, the seismic sensors generating at least one of an electrical and optical signal in response to seismic energy, from a first survey and a second survey, wherein the first survey and the second survey are shot with a bin size of L×L and the second survey is shot with a shooting direction rotated 90° relative to the shooting direction of the first survey; transforming the seismic data into binned seismic data with a higher resolution bin grid, comprising: applying seismic data processing to the binned seismic data to create a higher resolution image of the earth's subsurface.
