Abstract
A method for generating a route for a drone for seismic node deployment includes receiving drone data, receiving field data with regard to one or more drone features, receiving a receiver processing support (RPS) file that conforms with a shell processing support format for 3D surveys as defined by society of exploration geophysicists (SEG), generating a comma-values separated (CVS) file including waypoints making up the route of the drone, based on the RPS file, the drone data, and the field data, and transmitting the CVS file to the drone for the seismic node deployment.

A method for generating a route for a drone for seismic node deployment, the method comprising:
- receiving drone data;
- receiving field data with regard to one or more drone features;
- receiving a receiver processing support (RPS) file that conforms with a shell processing support format for 3D surveys as defined by society of exploration geophysicists (SEG);
- generating a comma-values separated (CVS) file including waypoints making up the route of the drone, based on the RPS file, the drone data, and the field data;
- and
- transmitting the CVS file to the drone for the seismic node deployment.
A computing device for generating a route for a drone for seismic node deployment, the computing device comprising:
- an interface configured to:
- receive drone data,
- receive field data with regard to one or more drone features, and
- receive a receiver processing support (RPS) file that conforms with a shell processing support format for 3D surveys as defined by society of exploration geophysicists (SEG);
- and
- a processor connected to the interface and configured to,
- generate a comma-values separated (CVS) file including waypoints making up the route of the drone, based on the RPS file, the drone data, and the field data, and
- transmit the CVS file to the drone for the seismic node deployment.
