Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) seismic data set is divided into a plurality of 3D source wavefield subsets, each 3D source wavefield subset is stored in an array element of an array. For each array element, the associated 3D source wavefield is decomposed into a smaller data unit; data boundaries of the smaller data units are randomly shifted; a folding operation and a sample operator is applied to the smaller data units to keep the smaller data units from overlapping; the folded smaller data units are smoothed to generate smoothed data; a quantization operation is performed on the smoothed data to produce quantized data; and the quantized data is compression encoded to generate compressed data. The compressed data associated with each array element is decompressed to generate a 3D seismic output image.
