Seismic signal processing: Some recent advances

The goal of this work is to provide a brief overview of some recent advances in the field of seismic signal processing. In particular, we shall focus on tasks such as multiple attenuation and coherent noise elimination, paying special attention to the application of signal separation methods that are able to take into account prior information such as sparsity, which is ubiquitous in reflection seismic. In addition, we briefly review the application of signal transforms, such as wavelets and curvelets, to process seismic data. This article introduces the special session “Seismic Signal Processing”, which covers other applications and methods not discussed here.
