Abstract

Method for restoring seismic data to missing or severely noise contaminated traces included in a seismic section. The seismic section is transformed into a data localizing space and muted to retain only the localized data components of the seismic section. The muted transform space is inverse-transformed into the x-t domain to produce first estimates of the seismic data to be restored. The first estimates of the restored data are substituted for the corresponding traces in the original seismic section. Fully restored traces corresponding to the missing or severly noise contaminated traces are determined from the single estimate of the restored traces.
