	abstract = {We propose to solve the Estimation of Primaries by Sparse Inversion problem from a sesimic record with missing near-offsets and large holes without any explicit data reconstruction, by instead simulating the missing multiple contributions with terms involving auto-convolutions of the primary wavefield. Exclusion of the unknown data as an inversion variable from the REPSI process is desireable, since it eliminates a significant source of local minima that arises from attempting to invert for the unobserved traces using primary and multiple models that may be far-away from the true solution. In this talk we investigate the necessary modifications to the Robust EPSI algorithm to account for the resulting non-linear modeling operator, and demonstrate that just a few auto-convolution terms are enough to satisfactorily mitigate the effects of data gaps during the inversion process.},

	abstract = {Seismic acquisition is confined by limited aperture that leads to finite illumination, which, together with other factors, hinders imaging of subsurface objects in complex geological settings such as salt structures. Conventional processing, including surface-related multiple elimination, further reduces the amount of information we can get from seismic data. With the growing consensus that multiples carry valuable information that is missing from primaries, we are motivated to exploit the extra illumination provided by multiples to image the sub- surface. In earlier research, we proposed such a method by combining primary estimation and sparsity-promoting migration to invert for model perturbations directly from the total up-going wavefield. In this abstract, we focus on a particular case. By exploiting the extra illumination from surface-related multiples, we mitigate the effects caused by migrating from incomplete data with missing sources and missing near-offsets.},

	abstract = {The past few years had seen some concentrated interest on a particular wavefield-inversion approach to the popular SRME multiple removal technique called Estimation of Primaries by Sparse Inversion (EPSI). EPSI promises greatly improved tolerance to noise, missing data, edge effect, and other physi- cal phenomenon generally not described by the SRME relation (van Groenestijn and Verschuur, 2009a,b). It is based on the premise that it is possible to stably invert for both the primary impulse response and the source signature despite beforehand having no (or very limited) explicit knowledge of latter. The key to successful applications of EPSI, as shown in very recent works (Savels et al., 2010), is a robust way to reconstruct very sparse primary impulse response events as part of the inversion process. Based on the various successful demonstrations in literature, there is a very strong sense that EPSI will also play an important role in future developments of source sig- nature deconvolution and the general recovering of wavefield spectrum.},

	abstract = {Seismic data acquisition forms one of the main bottlenecks in seismic imaging and inversion. The high cost of acquisition work and collection of massive data volumes compel the adoption of simultaneous-source seismic data acquisition - an emerging technology that is developing rapidly, stimulating both geophysical research and commercial efforts. Aimed at improving the performance of marine- and land-acquisition crews, simultaneous acquisition calls for development of a new set of design principles and post-processing tools. Leveraging developments from the field of compressive sensing the focus here is on simultaneous-acquisition design and sequential-source data recovery. Apart from proper compressive sensing sampling schemes, the recovery from simultaneous simulations depends on a sparsifying transform that compresses seismic data, is fast, and reasonably incoherent with the compressive-sampling matrix. Using the curvelet transform, in which seismic data can be represented parsimoniously, the recovery of the sequential-source data volumes is achieved using the sparsity-promoting program {\textemdash} SPGL1, a solver based on projected spectral gradients. The main outcome of this approach is a new technology where acquisition related costs are no longer determined by the stringent Nyquist sampling criteria.},

	abstract = {Matching seismic wavefields and images lies at the heart of many pre-post-processing steps part of seismic imaging- 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 im- posing 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 = {Seismic imaging typically begins with the removal of multiple energy in the data, out of fear that it may introduce erroneous structure. However, seismic multiples have effectively seen more of the earth{\textquoteright}s structure, and if treated correctly can potential supply more information to a seismic image compared to primaries. Past approaches to accomplish this leave ample room for improvement; they either require extensive modification to standard migration techniques, rely too much on prior information, require extensive pre-processing, or resort to full-waveform inversion. We take some valuable lessons from these efforts and present a new approach balanced in terms of ease of implementation, robustness, efficiency and well-posedness, involving a sparsity-promoting inversion procedure using standard Born migration and a data-driven multiple modeling approach based on the focal transform.},

	abstract = {The fact that the computational complexity of wavefield simulation is proportional to the size of the discretized model and acquisition geometry, and not to the complexity of the simulated wavefield, is a major impediment within seismic imaging. By turning simulation into a compressive sensing problem{\textendash}where simulated data is recovered from a relatively small number of independent simultaneous sources{\textendash}we remove this impediment by showing that compressively sampling a simulation is equivalent to compressively sampling the sources, followed by solving a reduced system. As in compressive sensing, this allows for a reduction in sampling rate and hence in simulation costs. We demonstrate this principle for the time-harmonic Helmholtz solver. The solution is computed by inverting the reduced system, followed by a recovery of the full wavefield with a sparsity promoting program. Depending on the wavefield{\textquoteright}s sparsity, this approach can lead to a significant cost reduction, in particular when combined with the implicit preconditioned Helmholtz solver, which is known to converge even for decreasing mesh sizes and increasing angular frequencies. These properties make our scheme a viable alternative to explicit time-domain finite-difference.},

	abstract = {An explicit algorithm for the extrapolation of one-way wavefields is proposed which combines recent developments in information theory and theoretical signal processing with the physics of wave propagation. Because of excessive memory requirements, explicit formulations for wave propagation have proven to be a challenge in 3-D. By using ideas from {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}compressed sensing{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}, we are able to formulate the (inverse) wavefield extrapolation problem on small subsets of the data volume, thereby reducing the size of the operators. According to compressed sensing theory, signals can successfully be recovered from an imcomplete set of measurements when the measurement basis is incoherent with the representation in which the wavefield is sparse. In this new approach, the eigenfunctions of the Helmholtz operator are recognized as a basis that is incoherent with curvelets that are known to compress seismic wavefields. By casting the wavefield extrapolation problem in this framework, wavefields can successfully be extrapolated in the modal domain via a computationally cheaper operation. A proof of principle for the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}compressed sensing{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} method is given for wavefield extrapolation in 2-D. The results show that our method is stable and produces identical results compared to the direct application of the full extrapolation operator. \copyright2007 Society of Exploration Geophysicists},
