	abstract = {Seismic imaging in challenging sedimentary basins and reservoirs requires acquiring, processing, and imaging very large volumes of data (tens of terabytes). To reduce the cost of acquisition and the time from acquiring the data to producing a subsurface image, novel acquisition systems based on compressive sensing, low-rank matrix recovery, and randomized sampling have been developed and implemented. These approaches allow practitioners to achieve dense wavefield reconstruction from a substantially reduced number of field samples. However, designing acquisition surveys suited for this new sampling paradigm remains a critical and challenging role in oil, gas, and geothermal exploration. Typical random designs studied in the low-rank matrix recovery and compressive sensing literature are difficult to achieve by standard industry hardware. For practical purposes, a compromise between stochastic and realizable samples is needed. In this paper, we propose a deterministic and computationally cheap tool to alleviate randomized acquisition design, prior to survey deployment and large-scale optimization. We consider universal and deterministic matrix completion results in the context of seismology, where a bipartite graph representation of the source-receiver layout allows for the respective spectral gap to act as a quality metric for wavefield reconstruction. We provide realistic scenarios to demonstrate the utility of the spectral gap as a flexible tool that can be incorporated into existing survey design workflows for successful seismic data acquisition via low-rank and sparse signal recovery.},

In particular, we will demonstrate the importance of data organization to favor recovery by rank minimization and the use of deterministic spectral properties to predict the recovery. We also make make comparisons between wavefield reconstructions based on transform-domain sparsity promotion and matrix completion.},

	abstract = {Seismic data interpolation via rank-minimization techniques has been recently introduced in the seismic community. All the existing rank-minimization techniques assumes the underlying grid to be regular. Irregularity is one of the common impediments in acquisition. In this work, we studied the effect of irregularity on structured and show that how we can modify the existing techniques to handle it. Other then irregularity, we often have missing data. We also show that we can tackle both regularization and interpolation issue simultaneously. The objective of this work is to extend our existing method of interpolation on structured grid to unstructured grid. We illustrate the advantages of the modification in existing methodology using a seismic line from Gulf of Suez to obtain high quality results for regularization and interpolation, a key application in exploration geophysics.},
