	abstract = {The extremely large size of typical seismic imaging problems has been one of the major stumbling blocks for iterative techniques to attain accurate migration amplitudes. These iterative methods are important because they complement theoretical approaches that are hampered by difficulties to control problems such as finite-acquisition aperture, source-receiver frequency response, and directivity. To solve these problems, we apply preconditioning, which significantly improves convergence of least-squares migration. We discuss different levels of preconditioning that range from corrections for the order of the migration operator to corrections for spherical spreading, and position and reflector-dip dependent amplitude errors. While the first two corrections correspond to simple scalings in the Fourier and physical domain, the third correction requires phase-space (space spanned by location and dip) scaling, which we carry out with curvelets. We show that our combined preconditioner leads to a significant improvement of the convergence of least-squares {\textquoteleft}wave-equation{\textquoteright} migration on a line from the SEG AA{\textquoteright} salt model.},

This preconditioner approximately corrects for the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}square root{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} of the normal{\textendash}-i.e., the demigration-migration operator. This approach consists of three parts, namely (i) a left preconditoner, defined by a fractional time integration designed to make the migration operator zero order, and two right preconditioners that apply (ii) a scaling in the physical domain accounting for a spherical spreading, and (iii) a curvelet-domain scaling that corrects for spatial and reflector-dip dependent amplitude errors.

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},

	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 = {A nonlinear singularity-preserving solution to seismic image recovery with sparseness and continuity constraints is proposed. We observe that curvelets, as a directional frame expansion, lead to sparsity of seismic images and exhibit invariance under the normal operator of the linearized imaging problem. Based on this observation we derive a method for stable recovery of the migration amplitudes from noisy data. The method corrects the amplitudes during a post-processing step after migration, such that the main additional cost is one ap- plication of the normal operator, i.e. a modeling followed by a migration. Asymptotically this normal operator corresponds to a pseudodifferential operator, for which a convenient diagonal approximation in the curvelet domain is derived, including a bound for its error and a method for the estimation of the diagonal from a compound operator consisting of discrete implementations for the scattering operator and its adjoint the migration operator. The solution is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem where sparsity in the curvelet domain as well as continuity along the imaged reflectors are jointly promoted. To enhance sparsity, the $ell_1$-norm on the curvelet coefficients is minimized, while continuity is promoted by minimizing an anisotropic diffusion norm on the image. The performance of the recovery scheme is evaluated with a time-reversed {\textquoteright}wave-equation{\textquoteright} migration code on synthetic datasets, including the complex SEG/EAGE AA salt model.},

The applied formalism explores Curvelets as basis functions that, by virtue of their sparseness and locality, not only allow for a reduction of the dimensionality of the imaging problem but which also naturally lead to a non-linear solution with significantly improved signal- to-noise ratio. Additional conditions on the image are imposed by solving a constrained optimization problem on the estimated Curvelet coefficients initialized by thresholding. This optimization is designed to also restore the amplitudes by (approximately) inverting the normal operator, which is like-wise the (de)-migration operators, almost diagonalized by the Curvelet transform.},

	abstract = {In this paper, the property of Curvelet transforms for preconditioning the migration and normal operators is investigated. These operators belong to the class of Fourier integral operators and pseudo-differential operator, respectively. The effect of this pre-conditioner is shown in term of improvement of sparsity, convergence rate, number of iteration for the Krylov-subspace solver and clustering of singular(eigen) values. The migration operator, which we employed in this work is the common-offset Kirchoff-Born migration. \copyright2004 Society of Exploration Geophysicists},
