Abstract
The arrangement in the field of seismic emission-reception system changes as it progrsses along the profile explored, which modifies the respective distances between the source of seismic signals (S) and each of the siesmic receivers (Ri). In order to take account thereof, each of the acquisition boxes (Bi) used in the field for amplifying, digitizing and storing the siesmic signals received during each emission-reception cycle (or possibly a central station) is provided with a processor for determining automatically the gain to be assigned to the various amplifiers from all of the signals acquired and with selection rules taking into account the level of the signals and their evolution observed over several successive emission-reception cycles. The invention has an application in decentralized automatic control of acquisition devices.
