	abstract = {Successful removal of coherent noise sources greatly determines the quality of seismic imaging. Major advances were made in this direction, e.g., Surface-Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) and interferometric ground-roll removal. Still, moderate phase, timing, amplitude errors and clutter in the predicted signal components can be detrimental. Adopting a Bayesian approach along with the assumption of approximate curvelet-domain independence of the to-be-separated signal components, we construct an iterative algorithm that takes the predictions produced by for example SRME as input and separates these components in a robust fashion. In addition, the proposed algorithm controls the energy mismatch between the separated and predicted components. Such a control, which was lacking in earlier curvelet-domain formulations, produces improved results for primary-multiple separation on both synthetic and real data.},

	abstract = {Mitigating missing data, multiples, and erroneous migration amplitudes are key factors that determine image quality. Curvelets, little {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}plane waves,{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} complete with oscillations in one direction and smoothness in the other directions, sparsify a property we leverage explicitly with sparsity promotion. With this principle, we recover seismic data with high fidelity from a small subset (20\%) of randomly selected traces. Similarly, sparsity leads to a natural decorrelation and hence to a robust curvelet-domain primary-multiple separation for North Sea data. Finally, sparsity helps to recover migration amplitudes from noisy data. With these examples, we show that exploiting the curvelet{\textquoteright}s ability to sparsify wavefrontlike features is powerful, and our results are a clear indication of the broad applicability of this transform to exploration seismology. \copyright2008 Society of Exploration Geophysicists},
