	abstract = {Matching seismic wavefields and images lies at the heart of many pre-/post-processing steps part of seismic imaging{\textendash}- whether one is matching predicted wavefield components, such as multiples, to the actual to-be-separated wavefield components present in the data or whether one is aiming to restore migration amplitudes by scaling, using an image-to-remigrated-image matching procedure to calculate the scaling coefficients. The success of these wavefield matching procedures depends on our ability to (i) control possible overfitting, which may lead to accidental removal of energy or to inaccurate image-amplitude corrections, (ii) handle data or images with nonunique dips, and (iii) apply subsequent wavefield separations or migraton amplitude corrections stably. In this paper, we show that the curvelet transform allows us to address all these issues by imposing smoothness in phase space, by using their capability to handle conflicting dips, and by leveraging their ability to represent seismic data and images sparsely. This latter property renders curvelet-domain sparsity promotion an effective prior.},

	abstract = {Inverting seismic wavefields lies at the heart of seismic data processing and imaging{\textendash}- whether one is applying {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}a poor man{\textquoteright}s inverse{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} by correlating wavefields during imaging or whether one inverts wavefields as part of a focal transform interferrometric deconvolution or as part of computing the {\textquoteright}data verse{\textquoteright}. The success of these wavefield inversions depends on the stability of the inverse with respect to data imperfections such as finite aperture, bandwidth limitation, and missing data. In this paper, we show how curvelet domain sparsity promotion can be used as a suitable prior to invert seismic wavefields. Examples include, seismic data regularization with the focused curvelet-based recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (fCRSI), which involves the inversion of the primary-wavefield operator, the prediction of multiples by inverting the adjoint of the primary operator, and finally the inversion of the data itself {\textendash}- the so-called {\textquoteright}data inverse{\textquoteright}. In all cases, curvelet-domain sparsity leads to a stable inversion.},
