Recently, we established a blended-acquisition method, so-called S-/M-DSA. We acquired and processed the first pilot program with S-/M-DSA onshore Abu Dhabi. In this paper, we establish a relationship between the acquisition productivity and the processing performance.

We found that S-/M-DSA owns a relationship: the deblended-data-reconstruction performance increases with the acquisition time (i.e. the acquisition effort that is inversely proportional to the acquisition productivity) in general; the imaging processing improves the data quality as the flow makes progress, and eventually reach a high data quality after poststack processing regardless of the acquisition time.
