	abstract = {Common image gathers are used in building velocity models, inverting anisotropy parameters, and analyzing reservoir attributes. Often primary reflections are used to form image gathers and multiples are typically attenuated in processing to remove strong coherent artifacts generated by multiples that interfere with the imaged reflectors. However, researchers have shown that, if correctly used, multiples can actually provide extra illumination of the subsurface in seismic imaging, especially for delineating the near-surface features. In this work, we borrow ideas from literatures on imaging with surface-related multiples, and apply these ideas to extended imaging. This way we save the massive computation cost in separating multiples from the data before using them during the formation of image gathers. Also, we mitigate the strong coherent artifacts generated by multiples which can send the migration velocity analysis type algorithms in wrong direction. Synthetic examples on a three-layer model show the efficacy of the proposed formulation.},

	abstract = {In the well-known SRME relation, multiples are expressed as the multi-dimensional convolution between the subsurface Green{\textquoteright}s function and the downgoing receiver wavefield. Therefore these multiples can be considered as the response of the subsurface to an "areal" source term given by the same downgoing receiver wavefield. This relation can be used to treat these multiples as signals instead of considering them as noise that must removed before seismic imaging. However, when we use conventional reverse-time migration to image these multiple events, it results in acausal imaging artifacts caused by cross-correlations between wrong pairs of up- and downgoing wavefields. We find that these artifacts can be removed by adopting a sparsity-promoting least-squares inversion approach. However, iterative inversions go at the expense of excessive computational costs. By combining the SRME relation and wave-equation based linearized modelling, we are able to significantly reduce the costs by avoiding the dense matrix-matrix multiplications of SRME and the number of wave-equation solves via source subsampling. As a result, we arrive at a method with a cost comparable to that of a single reverse-time migration with all shots.},

	abstract = {Linearized inversion is a data fitting procedure that tries to match the observed seismic data with data predicted by linearized modelling. In practice, the observed data is not necessarily in the column space of the linearized modelling operator. This can be caused by lack of an accurate background velocity model or by coherent noises not explained by linearized modelling. Through carefully designed experiments, we ob- serve that a moderate data mismatch does not pose an issue if we can use all the data in the inversion. However, artifacts do arise from the mismatch when randomized dimensionality reduction techniques are adopted to speed up the inversion. To stabilize the inversion for dimensionality reduction with randomized source aggregates, we propose to rerandomize by drawing independent simultaneous sources occasionally during the inversion. The effect of this rerandomization is remarkable because it results in virtually artifact-free images at a cost comparable to a single reverse-time migration. Implications of our method are profound because we are now able to resolve fine-scale steep subsalt features in a computationally feasible manner.},

Several approaches have been proposed to address this issue. Most commonly, people apply "data-independent" filtering operations that are aimed to deemphasize the elastic phases in the data in favor of the acoustic phases. Examples of this approach are nested loops over offset range and Laplace parameters. In this paper, we discuss two complementary optimization-driven methods where the minimization process decides adaptively which of the data or model components are consistent with the objective. Specifically, we compare the Student{\textquoteright}s t misfit function as the data-space alternative and curvelet-domain sparsity promotion as the model-space alternative. Application of these two methods to a realistic synthetic lead to comparable results that we believe can be improved by combining these two methods.},

Unfortunately, in practice this information is often missing, and must be recovered from data along with the signal using deconvolution techniques.

Inspired by this shift, we propose a method to image directly from the total up-going wavefield, including surface-related multiples, by sparse inversion. To address the high computational cost associated with this method, we propose to speed up the inversion by having the wave-equation solver carry out the multi-dimensional convolutions implicitly and cheaply by randomized subsampling. We improve the overall performance of this algorithm by selecting new independent copies of the randomized modeling operator, which leads to a cancellation of correlations that hamper the speed of convergence of the solver.

	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.},

Henryk Modzeleweski: Design and specifications for SLIMPy{\textquoteright}s software framework The SLIM group is actively developing software for seismic imaging. This talk will give a general overview of the software development philosophy adopted by SLIM. The covered topics will include: 1) adopting Python for object-oriented programming, 2) including parallelism into the algorithms used in seismic imaging/modeling, 3) in-house algorithms for seismic imaging, and 4) contributions to Madagascar (RSF). The talk will serve as an introduction to the other presentations in the session "SINBAD Software releases".},

	abstract = {The parallel extensions to the SLIMpy environment enable pipe-based processing of large data sets in an MPI-based parallel environment. Parallel processing can be done by straightforward slicing of data, or by using an overlapping domain decomposition that requires communication between different processors. The principal aim of the parallel extensions is to leave abstract numerical algorithms (ANA{\textquoteright}s) and applications programmed for use in SLIMpy untouched when moving to parallel processing. The object-oriented functionality of Python makes this possible.},

	abstract = {In this paper we present examples of ground roll attenuation for synthetic and real data gathers by using Contourlet and Curvelet transforms. These non-separable wavelet transforms are locoalized both (x,t)- and (k,f)-domains and allow for adaptive seperation of signal and ground roll. Both linear and non-linear filtering are discussed using the unique properties of these basis that allow for simultaneous localization in the both domains. Eventhough, the linear filtering techniques are encouraging the true added value of these basis-function techniques becomes apparent when we use these decompositions to adaptively substract modeled ground roll from data using a non-linear thesholding procedure. We show real and synthetic examples and the results suggest that these directional-selective basis functions provide a usefull tool for the removal of coherent noise such as ground roll.},
