    Abstract: A method for correcting physical positions of seismic sensors and/or seismic sources for a seismic data acquisition system. The method includes estimating a respective energy generated by each source element, which belongs to a source array; calculating a respective energy recorded by each individual seismic sensor, which belongs to a composite receiver; summing, for each individual seismic sensor, all the generated energies from the all the source elements; estimating a model of direct arrival waves that propagate from the source elements to the individual seismic sensors; calculating positions of the individual seismic sensors based on the model of direct arrival waves; comparing calculated positions of the individual seismic sensors with observed positions of the individual seismic sensors; selecting a best calculated position for each of the individual seismic sensors based on an objective function; and correcting the observed positions of the individual seismic sensors with corresponding best calculated positions.

    Abstract: System and method for generating discrete dithering sequences DSi for marine seismic sources Si in a marine acquisition system. The method includes determining a number N of the seismic sources Si to be fired; calculating a dithering sequence DSi for each source Si such that when any two consecutive source activation Sk and Sl, where l=k+1, are selected, a combination DSkl of their dithering sequences DSk and DSl is a uniform random low-discrepancy sequence; and driving each source Si with the corresponding dithering sequence DSi to generate blended seismic data.
