	abstract = {The separation of signal and noise is an important issue in seismic data processing. By noise we refer to the incoherent noise which is present in the data. In our case, we showed curvelets concentrate seismic signal energy in few significant coefficients unlike noise energy that is spread all over the coefficients. The sparsity of seismic data in the curvelet domain makes curvelets an ideal choice for separating the noise from the seismic data. In our approach the denoising problem is framed as curvelet-regularized inversion problem. After initial processing, we applied the algorithm to the poststack data and compared our results with conventional wavelet denoising.},

	abstract = {The removal of source signature from seismic data is an important step in seismic data processing. The Curvelet transform provides sparse representations for images that comprise smooth objects separated by piece-wise smooth discontinuities (e.g. seismic reflectivity). In this approach the sparseness of reflectivity in Curvelet domain is used as a prior to stabilize the inversion process. Our Curvelet-regularized deconvolution algorithm uses recently developed SPGL1 solver which does adaptive sampling of the trade-off curve. We applied the algorithm on a synthetic example and compared our results with that of Spiky deconvolution approach.},

	abstract = {There is an inherent continuity along reflectors of a seismic image. We use the recently introduced multiscale and multidirectional curvelet transform to exploit this continuity along reflectors for cases in which the assumption of spiky reflectivity may not hold. We show that such type of seismic reflectivity can be represented in the curvelet-domain by a vector whose entries decay rapidly. This curvelet-domain compression of reflectivity opens new perspectives towards solving classical problems in seismic processing including the deconvolution problem. In this paper, we present a formulation that seeks curvelet-domain sparsity for non-spiky reflectivity and we compare our results with those of spiky deconvolution.},
