Methods and systems for determining position of seismic sources and
receivers are disclosed. Signals received by a first antenna are
processed to determine its 3D coordinate position. Signals received by
the first antenna and a second antenna are combined and processed to
estimate a spatial vector between the first and second antennas. The
spatial vector is added to the 3D coordinate position of the first
antenna to provide a 3D coordinate position of the second antenna. Using
the 3D coordinate position of the second antenna, a 3D coordinate
position of a seismic source unit or receiver may be calculated, as well
as a vertical correction for reflected seismic signals received by the
receiver. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly
ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to
interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
