Abstract

A method for processing seismic data may include receiving, via a processor, the seismic data acquired via a seismic survey. The seismic survey may include seismic sources that emit seismic wavefields at different locations. Each of the seismic sources may change a directivity pattern of a respective seismic wavefield based on a respective location of the respective seismic source. The seismic survey may also include seismic receivers that may receive the seismic data. The method may also include generating one or more basis functions that correspond to measurements of the seismic data, modelling a signal component of the seismic data as a sum of the one or more basis functions, and storing the signal component in a storage component. The signal component may be used to acquire an image of a subsurface region of the earth for identifying a feature in the subsurface region of the earth.
