Abstract
Systems and methods, including computer-implemented systems and methods, for determining an optimized geometry of seismic sources and receivers in order to generate a desired dense wavefield. The systems and methods may include generating a simulated dense wavefield using a representative subsurface model; generating a set of preliminary acquisition plans according to constraints and the representative subsurface model, each preliminary acquisition plan defining a plurality of surface receivers operable to receive seismic signals; subsampling the target dense wavefield using the set of preliminary acquisition plans to produce a set of subsampled wavefields; reconstructing the set of subsampled wavefields according to a reconstruction scheme to produce a set of reconstructed dense wavefields; determining a degree of fidelity for each of the reconstructed dense wavefields; and selecting a preliminary acquisition plan having a degree of fidelity that satisfies a preselected criterion as an optimized acquisition plan.
