Ocean bottom surveys usually suffer from having very sparse receivers. Assuming a desirable source sampling, achievable by existing methods such as (simultaneous-source) randomized marine acquisition, we propose a deep-learning based scheme to bring the receivers to the same spatial grid as sources using a convolutional neural network. By exploiting source-receiver reciprocity, we construct training pairs by artificially subsampling the fully-sampled single-receiver frequency slices using a random training mask and later, we deploy the trained neural network to fill-in the gaps in single-source frequency slices. Our experiments show that a random training mask is essential for successful wavefield recovery, even when receivers are on a periodic gird. No external training data is required and experiments on a 3D synthetic data set demonstrate that we are able to recover receivers for up to 90% missing receivers, missing either randomly or periodically, with a better recovery for random case, at low to midrange frequencies.
