Abstract

Methods and systems for improving the efficiency of ALFT are disclosed. The methods include obtaining a seismic dataset of a subterranean region, transforming the seismic dataset from a first domain to a second domain using a transform function, and generating an input spectrum from the transformed seismic dataset. The methods also include iteratively, or recursively, until a condition is met, for each slice, estimating a weight function using the input spectrum, generating a weighted input spectrum using the weight function and the input spectrum, identifying a strongest attribute from the weighted input spectrum, determining an output spectrum based on the identified strongest attribute, and updating the input spectrum by removing the identified strongest attribute from the input spectrum. The methods further include determining an output spectrum volume by combining the output spectrum for each slice, generating an output seismic dataset using an inverse transform function and the output spectrum volume.
