ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for digitally deriving arrays from seismic data. Indentical parallel processing elements connected between common input/output buses are each preselected to derive different pluralities of arrays. Array specifications defining the arrays are downloaded into the processing elements. A scan sample set of spatially distributed seismic receivers is periodically generated and placed on the input bus. Each processing element, in response to array specifications, captures and stores all receiver output signals in the scan required to derive its respective arrays, derives its assigned arrays, and delivers resultant array samples to the output bus. Double input and output buffering in the processing elements is provided whereby receiver capture, array derivation, and outputing processes occur simultaneously in each processing element.
