ABSTRACT:
A method for processing seismic vibrator data. The method utilizes a deterministic signature deconvolution of the vibrator data to compress the impulse response of the data resulting in sharper, clearer seismic images than are possible using cross-correlation techniques. The method may be used in place of or in addition to cross-correlation. Further, the method may be implemented in either the time domain or the frequency domain.
