Title:
OPTIMAL PATHS FOR MARINE DATA COLLECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002001250
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for finding an optimal path (107) in seismic in fill shooting using a neural network to estimate cable feathering and uses multiple off set cost maps and potentials in cellular automata. The process determines cable coordinates at each cell location and stores the coordinates of a predecessor cell to eliminate multiple paths.
