Abstract: The method comprises flying at least a probe carrier flying vehicle above a dropping area on the ground, the probe carrier flying vehicle carrying probes and a launcher, configured to separate each probe from the probe carrier flying vehicle; activating the launcher to separate at least one of the probes from the probe carrier flying vehicle above the dropping area; falling of the probe from the flying vehicle in the ground of the dropping area; at least partial insertion of the probe in the ground of the dropping area. When the probe carrier flying vehicle is located above a target dropping area, before activating the launcher, the method comprises determining a vegetation information at the target dropping area using a flying vegetation detector.

Abstract: The method acquiring a ground seismic dataset over a region of interest by defining a geometry of acquisition of the seismic dataset specifying a location of a plurality of seismic sources and a location of a plurality of seismic receivers, inducing a seismic signal with at least one first seismic source of the plurality of seismic sources, and measuring the corresponding ground vibrations induced by the at least one first seismic source with the plurality of seismic receivers to obtain a first seismic dataset. Then processing the first seismic dataset and modifying the geometry of acquisition of the first seismic dataset by specifying a location of at least an additional seismic source and/or a location of at least an additional seismic receiver, based on analyzing the processed first seismic dataset.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for evaluating a geophysical survey acquisition geometry over a region of interest. The method comprises determining a location of a plurality of base camps in respect of a determined minimal surface density of base camps, determining a first set of locations of a plurality of receivers in respect of a determined minimal surface density of receivers, generating a first synthetic geophysical dataset based on the first geophysical survey acquisition geometry, processing the first synthetic geophysical dataset for obtaining a first simulated image of the subsurface of the region of interest using a geophysical processing algorithm and an a priori subsurface model, and calculating a first objective function dependent of at least a first quality index of the first simulated image of the subsurface of the region of interest.

Abstract: The method comprises triggering at least an event of the preparation and/or of the carrying out of the ground survey in a predetermined area of the region of interest; flying at least a presence detector able to detect the presence of a human and/or of an animal and/or of civil facilities in the predetermined area of the region of interest; before triggering the event, detecting presence of a human and/or of an animal and/or of civil facilities in the predetermined area with the presence detector; controlling the triggering of the event based on the results of the detection of a human and/or of an animal and/or of civil facilities made with the presence detector.
