De-aliasing High Resolution Tau-p Transform and Its Application to Wave Fields Separation

The tau-p transform is one of the important techniques to eliminate coherent noises and separate wave fields. Operator aliasing artifacts and edge effect artifacts affect its resolution. Therefore, conventional tau-p transform can´t be used simply. This paper presents a new non-iteration high-resolution tau-p transform procedure, which can suppress aliasing artifacts and edge effect artifacts simultaneously, and improve resolution. The results of processing on the synthetic seismogram and real VSP data show that the new procedure is effective.
