Irregular sampling: from aliasing to noiseHennenfent, Gilles, Herrmann, Felix J. January 2007 (has links)
Seismic data is often irregularly and/or sparsely sampled along spatial coordinates. We show that these acquisition geometries are not necessarily a source of adversity in order to accurately reconstruct adequately-sampled data. We use two examples to illustrate that it may actually be better than equivalent regularly subsampled data. This comment was already made in earlier works by other authors. We explain this behavior by two key observations. Firstly, a noise-free underdetermined problem can be seen as a noisy well-determined problem. Secondly, regularly subsampling creates strong coherent acquisition noise (aliasing) difficult to remove unlike the noise created by irregularly subsampling that is typically weaker and Gaussian-like

Seismic noise : the good the bad and the uglyHerrmann, Felix J., Wilkinson, Dave January 2007 (has links)
In this paper, we present a nonlinear curvelet-based sparsity-promoting formulation
for three problems related to seismic noise, namely the ’good’, corresponding
to noise generated by random sampling; the ’bad’, corresponding to coherent noise
for which (inaccurate) predictions exist and the ’ugly’ for which no predictions
exist. We will show that the compressive capabilities of curvelets on seismic data
and images can be used to tackle these three categories of noise-related problems.

Curvelet reconstruction with sparsity-promoting inversion : successes and challengesHennenfent, Gilles, Herrmann, Felix J. January 2007 (has links)
In this overview of the recent Curvelet Reconstruction with Sparsity-promoting Inversion
(CRSI) method, we present our latest 2-D and 3-D interpolation results on both
synthetic and real datasets. We compare these results to interpolated data using other existing
methods. Finally, we discuss the challenges related to sparsity-promoting solvers
for the large-scale problems the industry faces.

Multiple prediction from incomplete data with the focused curvelet transformHerrmann, Felix J. January 2007 (has links)
Incomplete data represents a major challenge for a successful prediction and subsequent removal of multiples. In this paper, a new method will be represented that tackles this challenge in a two-step approach. During the first step, the recenly developed curvelet-based recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (CRSI) is applied to the data, followed by a prediction of the primaries. During the second high-resolution step, the estimated primaries are used to improve the frequency content of the recovered data by combining the focal transform, defined in terms of the estimated primaries, with the curvelet transform. This focused curvelet transform leads to an improved recovery, which can subsequently be used as input for a second stage of multiple prediction and primary-multiple separation.

Phase transitions in explorations seismology : statistical mechanics meets information theoryHerrmann, Felix J. January 2007 (has links)
n this paper, two different applications of phase transitions to exploration seismology will be discussed. The first application concerns a phase diagram ruling the recovery conditions for seismic data volumes from incomplete and noisy data while the second phase transition describes the behavior of bi-compositional mixtures as a function of the volume fraction. In both cases, the phase transitions are the result of randomness in large system of equations in combination with nonlinearity. The seismic recovery problem from incomplete data involves the inversion of a rectangular matrix. Recent results from the field of "compressive sensing" provide the conditions for a successful recovery of functions that are sparse in some basis (wavelet) or frame (curvelet) representation, by means of a sparsity ($\ell_1$-norm) promoting nonlinear program. The conditions for a successful recovery depend on a certain randomness of the matrix and on two parameters that express the matrix' aspect ratio and the ratio of the number of nonzero entries in the coefficient vector for the sparse signal representation over the number of measurements. It appears that the ensemble average for the success rate for the recovery of the sparse transformed data vector by a nonlinear sparsity promoting program, can be described by a phase transition, demarcating the regions for the two ratios for which recovery of the sparse entries is likely to be successful or likely to fail. Consistent with other phase transition phenomena, the larger the system the sharper the transition. The randomness in this example is related to the construction of the matrix, which for the recovery of spike trains corresponds to the randomly restricted Fourier matrix. It is shown, that these ideas can be extended to the curvelet recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (CRSI) . The second application of phase transitions in exploration seismology concerns the upscaling problem. To counter the intrinsic smoothing of singularities by conventional equivalent medium upscaling theory, a percolation-based nonlinear switch model is proposed. In this model, the transport properties of bi-compositional mixture models for rocks undergo a sudden change in the macroscopic transport properties as soon as the volume fraction of the stronger material reaches a critical point. At this critical point, the stronger material forms a connected cluster, which leads to the creation of a cusp-like singularity in the elastic moduli, which in turn give rise to specular reflections. In this model, the reflectivity is no longer explicitly due to singularities in the rocks composition. Instead, singularities are created whenever the volume fraction exceeds the critical point. We will show that this concept can be used for a singularity-preserved lithological upscaling.

Surface related multiple prediction from incomplete dataHerrmann, Felix J. January 2007 (has links)
Incomplete data, unknown source-receiver signatures and free-surface reflectivity represent
challenges for a successful prediction and subsequent removal of multiples. In
this paper, a new method will be represented that tackles these challenges by combining
what we know about wavefield (de-)focussing, by weighted convolutions/correlations,
and recently developed curvelet-based recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (CRSI).
With this combination, we are able to leverage recent insights from wave physics towards
a nonlinear formulation for the multiple-prediction problem that works for incomplete
data and without detailed knowledge on the surface effects.
