Randomized sampling without repetition in time-lapse seismic surveys

In this talk, we will show a method for acquiring time-lapse data, where we do not have to repeat the survey geometry. Our method works provided our acquisition is randomized, where sources and receivers are at random locations on a computational grid, and provided we know the spatial locations of the shots and receivers. In addition, we show the implications of either (sub)sampling more for the baseline and less for the monitor or vice-versa, and how this sampling scheme affects the 4-D signal.
