Data matching for free-surface multiple attenuation by multidimensional deconvolution

Multiple attenuation with multidimensional prediction-error filters

Multiple attenuation in complex geology remains a very intensive research area. The proposed technique aims to use the spatial predictability of both the signal (primaries) and noise (multiples) in order to perform the multiple attenuation in the time domain. The spatial predictability is estimated with multidimensional prediction-error filters. These filters are time-variant in order to handle...

Free-Form Surface Matching for Surface Inspection

Body-wave interferometry using regional earthquakes with multidimensional deconvolution after wavefield decomposition at free surface

S U M M A R Y Passive seismic methods using earthquakes can be applied for extracting body waves and obtaining information of subsurface structure. In this study, we retrieve direct and reflected plane waves by applying seismic interferometry to the recorded ground motion from a cluster of regional earthquakes. We apply upgoing/downgoing P/S wavefield decomposition, time windowing, and multidim...

Genetic algorithms for free-form surface matching

The free-form surface matching problem is important in several practical applications, such as reverse engineering. An accurate, robust and fast solution is, therefore, of great significance. Recently genetic algorithms have attracted great interest for their ability to robustly solve hard optimization problems. In this work we investigate the performance of such an approach for finding the ini...

Reflecting boundary conditions for interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution.

In an acoustical context, interferometry takes advantage of existing (ambient) wavefield recordings by turning receivers into so-called "virtual sources." The medium's response to these virtual sources can be harnessed to image that medium. Most interferometric applications, however, suffer from the fact that the retrieved virtual-source responses deviate from the true medium responses. The acc...
