Abstract
A method, including: obtaining, with a processor, a seismic image of a subsurface region from a computer memory; predicting, with a processor, a dip of the seismic image of the subsurface region; and removing, with a processor, noise or artifacts from the seismic image of the subsurface region by applying a dip guided Laplacian filter, wherein the removing generates another seismic image of the subsurface region that has noise or artifacts removed relative to the seismic image of the subsurface region.
