3-D Data Interpolation and Denoising by an Adaptive Weighting Rank-Reduction Method Using Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis Algorithm.

ABSTRACT

Addressing insufficient and irregular sampling is a difficult challenge in seismic processing and imaging. Recently, rank reduction methods have become popular in seismic processing algorithms for simultaneous denoising and interpolating. These methods are based on rank reduction of the trajectory matrices using truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD). Estimation of the ranks of these trajectory matrices depends on the number of plane waves in the processing window; however, for the more complicated data, the rank reduction method may fail or give poor results. In this paper, we propose an adaptive weighted rank reduction (AWRR) method that selects the optimum rank in each window automatically. The method finds the maximum ratio of the energy between two singular values. The AWRR method selects a large rank for the highly curved complex events, which leads to remaining residual errors. To overcome the residual errors, a weighting operator on the selected singular values minimizes the effect of noise projection on the signal projection. We tested the efficiency of the proposed method by applying it to both synthetic and real seismic data.
