Abstract

Bai, M. and Wu, J., 2018. Seismic deconvolution using iterative transform-domain sparse inversion. Journal of Seismic Exploration, 27: 103-116. Post-stack seismic deconvolution is a classic inverse problem in seismic exploration, which can tremendously improve the resolution of seismic reflectors. Because of the WIE UG ID WULUE UI My CoURatEU, rane une werd lrverrsbrsie rr? 1 ~ 一 a 1 problem by applying different constraints. We propose apply: 了 domain ‘sity constraint to the inverse deconvolution problem and propose to solve it by a ple iterative thresh- olding algorithm. Compared with the alternative Wiener filtering, proposed iterative transform-domain thresholding algorithm can improve the tal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the spatial coherency of the seismic data after onvolution. Both synthetic and field data example are used to demonstrate the erior performance of the proposed algorithm.
