“…Surface parameters could, for instance, be obtained with remote-sensing techniques. Laake and Insley (2004) showed examples how to derive surface maps of amongst others surface topography and shallow geology from satellite images. Such surface maps can be transformed to cost maps that can directly be used as input for our OED algorithm.…”

Optimized experimental design aims at reducing the cost of a seismic survey by identifying the optimal locations and amounts of sources and receivers. While the acquisition design in the context of seismic imaging applies criteria like fold, offset and spatial sampling, different attributes such as the sensitivity kernels are more relevant for seismic full waveform inversion. An ideal measure to quantify the goodness of an acquisition design relies on the eigenvalue spectrum of the approximate Hessian matrix, but this technique is computationally too expensive for practical use. A more affordable goodness measure has been proposed in the past, but we demonstrate that this measure is inappropriate for target-oriented optimized experimental design. To address those issues, we derived a sequential receiver-based procedure using a goodness measure based on the determinant of the approximate Hessian matrix. We show with numerical tests that it efficiently provides an optimized design for target-oriented as well as for extensive full waveform inversion. This design allows a better reconstruction of the subsurface than an evenly spaced acquisition geometry. Furthermore, the optimization algorithm itself can easily be parallelized, therefore making it attractive for applications to large-scale three-dimensional surveys. In addition, our algorithm is able to incorporate variable costs, representing any kind of acquisition-related costs, for every individual source location. The combined optimization with respect to the information content of sources and to the true cost will allow a more comprehensive and realistic survey planning and has a high potential for further applications.

“…In high sand dunes, both logistics for wheeled vehicles and high absorption for seismic waves may impact the survey design severely (Laake and Insley, 2004a). The analysis of the topography can assist in outlining the dunes and characterizing their shape ( fig.…”

“…These models can be used for the estimation of logistic risks for personnel and vehicles as well as for the estimation of the quality of the acquired geophysical data (Laake and Insley (2004aand b, Laake and Cutts 2007, Coulson et al 2009). In turn, geophysical data can be employed to calibrate geophysical characteristics of near-surface layers inferred from satellite imagery.…”

“…The geological information extracted from satellite imagery can be used to build geological models from basin scale (several 10 5 sqkm) to survey scale (few 10 3 sqkm) well before any geophysical data are acquired on the ground. These models can be used for the estimation of logistic risks for personnel and vehicles as well as for the estimation of the quality of the acquired geophysical data (Laake and Insley (2004aand b, Laake and Cutts 2007, Coulson et al 2009.
