	abstract = {Reconstruction of seismic data is routinely used to improve the quality and resolution of seismic data from incomplete acquired seismic recordings. Curvelet-based Recovery by Sparsity-promoting Inversion, adapted from the recently-developed theory of compressive sensing, is one such kind of reconstruction, especially good for recovery of undersampled seismic data. Like traditional Fourier-based methods, it performs best when used in conjunction with randomized subsampling, which converts aliases from the usual regular periodic subsampling into easy-to-eliminate noise. By virtue of its ability to control gap size, along with the random and irregular nature of its sampling pattern, jittered (sub)sampling is one proven method that has been used successfully for the determination of geophone positions along a seismic line. In this paper, we extend jittered sampling to two-dimensional acquisition design, a more difficult problem, with both underlying Cartesian, and hexagonal grids. We also study what we term separable and non-separable two-dimensional jittered samplings. We find hexagonal jittered sampling performs better than Cartesian jittered sampling, while fully non-separable jittered sampling performs better than separable jittered sampling. Two other 2D randomized sampling methods, Poisson Disk sampling and Farthest Point sampling, both known to possess blue-noise spectra, are also shown to perform well.},

	abstract = {In recent years, data-driven multiple prediction methods and wavefield extrapolation methods have proven to be powerful methods to attenuate multiples from data acquired in complex 3-D geologic environments. These methods make use of a two-stage approach, where first the multiples (surface-related and / or internal) multiples are predicted before they are subtracted from the original input data in an adaptively. The quality of these predicted multiples often raises high expectations for the adaptive subtraction techniques, but for various reasons these expectations are not always met in practice. Standard adaptive subtraction methods use the well-known minimum energy criterion, stating that the total energy after optimal multiple attenuation should be minimal. When primaries and multiples interfere, the minimum energy criterion is no longer appropriate. Also, when multiples of different orders interfere, adaptive energy minimization will lead to a compromise between different amplitudes corrections for the different orders of multiples. This paper investigates the performance of two multiple subtraction schemes for a real data set that exhibits both interference problems. Results from an adaptive subtraction in the real curvelet domain, separating primaries and multiples, are compared to those obtained using a more conventional adaptive subtraction method in the spatial domain.},

	abstract = {In Herrmann et al. (2008), it is shown that zero-order pseudodifferential operators, which model the migration-demigration operator and the operator mapping the predicted multiples to the true multiples, can be represented by a diagonal weighting in the curvelet domain. In that paper, a smoothness constraint was introduced in the phase space of the operator in order to regularize the solution to make it unique. In this paper, we use recent results in Demanet and Ying (2008) on the discrete symbol calculus to impose a further smoothness constraint, this time in the frequency domain. It is found that with this additional constraint, faster convergence is realized. Results on a synthetic pseudodifferential operator as well as on an example of primary-multiple separation in seismic data are included, comparing the model with and without the new smoothness constraint, from which it is found that results of improved quality are also obtained.},

	abstract = {The tasks of sampling, compression and reconstruction are very common and often necessary in seismic data processing due to the large size of seismic data. Curvelet-based Recovery by Sparsity-promoting Inversion, motivated by the newly developed theory of compressive sensing, is among the best recovery strategies for seismic data. The incomplete data input to this curvelet-based recovery is determined by randomized sampling of the original complete data. Unlike usual regular undersampling, randomized sampling can convert aliases to easy-to-eliminate noise, thus facilitating the process of reconstruction of the complete data from the incomplete data. Randomized sampling methods such as jittered sampling have been developed in the past that are suitable for curvelet-based recovery, however most have only been applied to sampling in one dimension. Considering that seismic datasets are usually higher dimensional and extremely large, in the present paper, we extend the 1D version of jittered sampling to two dimensions, both with underlying Cartesian and hexagonal grids. We also study separable and non-separable two dimensional jittered sampling, the former referring to the Kronecker product of two one-dimensional jittered samplings. These different categories of jittered sampling are compared against one another in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and visual quality, from which we find that jittered hexagonal sampling is better than jittered Cartesian sampling, while fully non-separable jittered sampling is better than separable sampling. Because in the image processing and computer graphics literature, sampling patterns with blue-noise spectra are found to be ideal to avoid aliasing, we also introduce two other randomized sampling methods, possessing sampling spectra with beneficial blue noise characteristics, Poisson Disk sampling and Farthest Point sampling. We compare these methods, and apply the introduced sampling methodologies to higher dimensional curvelet-based reconstruction. These sampling schemes are shown to lead to better results from CRSI compared to the other more traditional sampling protocols, e.g. regular subsampling.},

	abstract = {In combination with compressive sensing, a successful reconstruction scheme called Curvelet-based Recovery by Sparsity-promoting Inversion (CRSI) has been developed, and has proven to be useful for seismic data processing. One of the most important issues for CRSI is the sampling scheme, which can greatly affect the quality of reconstruction. Unlike usual regular undersampling, stochastic sampling can convert aliases to easy-to-eliminate noise. Some stochastic sampling methods have been developed for CRSI, e.g. jittered sampling, however most have only been applied to 1D sampling along a line. Seismic datasets are usually higher dimensional and very large, thus it is desirable and often necessary to develop higher dimensional sampling methods to deal with these data. For dimensions higher than one, few results have been reported, except uniform random sampling, which does not perform well. In the present paper, we explore 2D sampling methodologies for curvelet-based reconstruction, possessing sampling spectra with blue noise characteristics, such as Poisson Disk sampling, Farthest Point Sampling, and the 2D extension of jittered sampling. These sampling methods are shown to lead to better recovery and results are compared to the other more traditional sampling protocols.},
