Abstract: Apparatus and methods for acquiring seismic data using a seabed seismic data cable positioned on a seabed are described, including correcting for the effect of one or more sensor non-linear motions, which improves accuracy of seismic data. One or multiple non-linear movements of the sensor may be corrected for. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting the location of a marine pipeline or cable, whereby acoustic pulses are transmitted by a submarine pulse transmitter carried by a vessel. These pulses, as well as the reflections of the pulses on the seabottom and on the pipeline or cable are detected by means of two detectors that are carried by two paravanes towed by the vessel. The signals received by the detectors are combined and the record of the combined signals is displayed. The signal parts that are representative of the acoustic waves reflected by the pipeline are identified in the record by separate colors or various intensities of a single color.
