METHOD FOR COLLECTING SEISMIC DATA USING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G01V1/00 G01V1/18 G01V1/22 

FIELD: geophysics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the technical solutions for collecting seismic data. A method for collecting seismic data is claimed, which includes the following steps: entering into the central recording system and the unmanned aerial system of coordinates of cableless recording modules, a digital elevation model and information about current plans and facts of seismic exploration; calculation of the flight route of an unmanned aerial vehicle using a digital elevation and terrain model to determine the trajectory and height of the flight; the flight of an unmanned aerial system along the formed route accompanied by the collection of data from cableless recording modules by an unmanned aerial system; transmission of data collected by the unmanned aerial system from cableless recording modules to the central recording system.

EFFECT: reducing the accident rate of collecting data from cableless recording modules for seismic surveys using unmanned aerial vehicles in hard-to-reach areas, provided that it is necessary to maintain the completeness of data transmission, minimize the time for collecting seismic data and power consumption of the unmanned aerial system.
