	abstract = {Despite recent developments in improved acquisition, seismic data often remain undersampled along source and receiver coordinates, resulting in incomplete data for key applications such as migration and multiple prediction. We have interpreted the missing-trace interpolation problem in the context of matrix completion (MC), and developed three practical principles for using low-rank optimization techniques to recover seismic data. Specifically, we strive for recovery scenarios wherein the original signal is low rank and the subsampling scheme increases the singular values of the matrix. We use an optimization program that restores this low-rank structure to recover the full volume. Omitting one or more of these principles can lead to poor interpolation results, as we found experimentally. In light of this theory, we compensate for the high-rank behavior of data in the source-receiver domain by using the midpoint-offset transformation for 2D data and a source-receiver permutation for 3D data to reduce the overall singular values. Simultaneously, to work with computationally feasible algorithms for large-scale data, we use a factorization-based approach to MC, which significantly speeds up the computations compared with repeated singular value decompositions without reducing the recovery quality. In the context of our theory and experiments, we also find that windowing the data too aggressively can have adverse effects on the recovery quality. To overcome this problem, we carried out our interpolations for each frequency independently while working with the entire frequency slice. The result is a computationally efficient, theoretically motivated framework for interpolating missing-trace data. Our tests on realistic 2D and 3D seismic data sets show that our method compares favorably in terms of computational speed and recovery quality with existing curvelet- and tensor-based techniques.},

	abstract = {Recently computationally efficient rank optimization techniques have been studied extensively to develop a new mathematical tool for the seismic data interpolation. So far, matrix completion problems have been discussed where sources are subsample according to a discrete uniform distribution. In this paper, we studied the effect of two different subsampling techniques on seismic data interpolation using rank-regularized formulations, namely jittered subsampling over uniform random subsampling. The other objective of this paper is to combine the fact of source-receiver reciprocity with the rank-minimization techniques to enhance the accuracy of missing-trace interpolation. We illustrate the advantages of jittered subsampling and reciprocity using a seismic line from Gulf of Suez to obtain high quality results for interpolation, a key application in exploration geophysics.},

	abstract = {Recent developments in matrix rank optimization have allowed for new computational approaches in the field of seismic data interpolation. In this paper, we propose an approach for seismic data interpolation which incorporates the Hierarchical Semi-Separable Structure (HSS) inside rank-regularized least-squares formulations for the missing-trace interpolation problem. The proposed approach is suitable for large scale problems, since it avoids SVD computations and uses a low-rank factorized formulation instead. We illustrate the advantages of the new HSS approach by interpolating a seismic line from the Gulf of Suez and compare the reconstruction with conventional rank minimization.},

In this paper, we consider rank-regularized formulations that only require a target data-fitting error level, and propose an algorithm for the corresponding problem. We illustrate the advantages of the new approach using the Netflix problem, and use it to obtain high quality results for seismic trace interpolation, a key application in exploration geophysics. We show that factor rank can be easily adjusted as the inversion proceeds, and propose a weighted extension that allows known subspace information to improve the results of matrix completion formulations. Using these methods, we obtain high-quality reconstructions for large scale seismic interpolation problems with real data.},
