High resolution stereo satellite photos
Adaptation of seismic processing systems
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Three key technical components enabling geophysical elevation mapping
from space
www.photosat.ca
Graphic Processing Units (GPUs)
GPUs perform numerical processing up to 100 times faster than CPUs. This enables us to do the hundreds of millions of 2D Fourier transforms necessary to automatically produce 1m Digital Surface Models from stereo satellite photos in reasonable times.
512 parallel processors 3 gigabytes RAM 1 teraflop C program compiler
www.photosat.ca
Offshore seismic vessels acquire over a terabyte of data per day, the same quantity of data as the high resolution satellites.
Seismic geophysics tool box
www.photosat.ca
Imaging of stereo satellite data
Using many of the seismic processing tools we calculate and plot the correlation between the stereo satellite photos as vertical profiles of correlation. This produces profiles that we can display and interpret in 3D seismic workstations.

Checking
For each stereo pair of satellite photos there is a unique topographic surface that will exactly match the photos. When the DEM is correct, the ortho of each of the stereo photos should be identical. Alternating the display between the two ortho photos is an effective check for errors in the DEM.

Seismic receivers were Geospace Seismic Recorders. These seismic receivers include GPS antennas. They record their locations to within about 2m in X and Y and 3m in elevation.
www.photosat.ca
Seismic sources were vibroseis trucks
www.photosat.ca
Seismic source locations were determined by GPS antennas mounted on the vibroseis trucks. These locations are usually accurate to better than 10cm in X, Y and Z.

Advanced scouting reduced by ~ 80% Current practice is for field survey crews to scout all vibrator points and access routes in advance to identify inaccessible source-points and to plan for efficient disposition of the vibrator trucks. The satellite imagery with this DEM gives an accurate enough picture so that only a few areas require field visits in advance.
Benefits
www.photosat.ca
Benefits
Quality Control of Source Positioning All source-points are surveyed using the GPS systems mounted on the vibrator trucks. Initialisation time for these systems can be long, with up to 30 minutes before we have full confidence in the elevation accuracy after switch on. Elevation accuracy can also suffer due to poor satellite visibility on occasions. Comparison with the DEM highlights any problem areas. The DEM can be used where the vibrator GPS elevation is obviously in error.
www.photosat.ca
Receiver Positioning
Thousands of recording nodes are deployed for the 3D seismic survey. Non-augmented GPS receivers in each recorder give sufficient x, y accuracy but cannot provide sufficiently accurate elevations in stand-alone mode for seismic processing requirements. The stereo satellite DEM provides the necessary receiver location elevation accuracy for seismic processing and so removes the need for any additional surveying of receiver locations. On the 3,962 km2 mapping area the backpack GPS surveying of approximately 170,000 receiver stations will be eliminated.

Shell Press Release January 17, 2010
“Shell, as lead operator, will hold a 45%
share, with partner Petronas holding 30%.
The Iraqi state holds 25% of the
participating interests in all licences.
The consortium targets a production
plateau of 1.8 million barrels of oil per day,
up from a current level of approximately
45,000 barrels of oil per day. Majnoon,
located in southern Iraq, is one of the
world’s largest oil fields.”

The Photosat processed WV2 DSM has been assessed against 263 surveyed points using a wide-area differential GPS service, using satellite broadcast techniques. Horizontal accuracy is better
than 0.2m.
Unfortunately due to the risks of acquiring survey measurements in Iraq, only 263 points in a constrained area could be captured.
