Abstract
Techniques for collecting seismic data include identifying seismic sources positioned on or under a first surface; identifying seismic sensors positioned on or under a second surface to form a seismic data collection area with the seismic sources; activating the seismic sources to generate a seismic signal; operating the seismic sensors to record a reflected seismic signal in response to the generated seismic signal; operating unmanned vehicles to travel to and within the seismic data collection area and collect the recorded reflected seismic signal from the seismic sensors; operating the unmanned vehicles to travel from the seismic data collection area to download the collected reflected seismic signal recorded from the seismic sensors; and operating the unmanned vehicles to return to or into the seismic data collection area to further collect at least one reflected seismic signal recorded from the seismic sensors.
