	abstract = {In recent years, data-driven multiple prediction methods and wavefield extrapolation methods have proven to be powerful methods to attenuate multiples from data acquired in complex 3-D geologic environments. These methods make use of a two-stage approach, where first the multiples (surface-related and / or internal) multiples are predicted before they are subtracted from the original input data in an adaptively. The quality of these predicted multiples often raises high expectations for the adaptive subtraction techniques, but for various reasons these expectations are not always met in practice. Standard adaptive subtraction methods use the well-known minimum energy criterion, stating that the total energy after optimal multiple attenuation should be minimal. When primaries and multiples interfere, the minimum energy criterion is no longer appropriate. Also, when multiples of different orders interfere, adaptive energy minimization will lead to a compromise between different amplitudes corrections for the different orders of multiples. This paper investigates the performance of two multiple subtraction schemes for a real data set that exhibits both interference problems. Results from an adaptive subtraction in the real curvelet domain, separating primaries and multiples, are compared to those obtained using a more conventional adaptive subtraction method in the spatial domain.},

	title = {Estimation of primaries via sparse inversion with reciprocity},
	booktitle = {EAGE Annual Conference Proceedings},
	year = {2010},
	abstract = {Accurate removal of surface related multiples is a key step in seismic data processing. The industry standard for removing multiples is SRME, which involves convolving the data with itself to predict the multiples, followed by an adaptive subtraction procedure to recover the primaries (Verschuur and Berkhout, 1997). Other methods involve multidimensional division of the up-going and down-going wavefields (Amundsen, 2001). However, this approach may suffer from stability problems. With the introduction of the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}estimation of primaries by sparse inversion{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}(EPSI), van Groenestijn and Verschuur (2009) recentely reformulated SRME to jointly estimate the surface-free impulse response and the source signature directly from the data. The advantage of EPSI is that it recovers the primary response directly, and does not require a second processing step for the subtraction of estimated multiples from the original data. However, because it estimates both the primary impulse response and source signature from the data EPSI must be regularized. Motivated by recent successful application of the curvelet transform in seismic data processing (Herrmann et al., 2007), we formulate EPSI as a bi-convex optimization problem that seeks sparsity on the surface-free Green{\textquoteright}s function and Fourier-domain smoothness on the source wavelet. Our main contribution compared to previous work (Lin and Herrmann, 2009), and the contribution of that author to the proceedings of this meeting(Lin and Herrmann, 2010), is that we employ the physical principle of as source-receiver reciprocity to improve the inversion.},

	booktitle = {EAGE Annual Conference Proceedings},
	year = {2010},
	month = {06},
	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion relies on the collection of large multi-experiment data volumes in combination with a sophisticated back-end to create high-fidelity inversion results. While improvements in acquisition and inversion have been extremely successful, the current trend of incessantly pushing for higher quality models in increasingly complicated regions of the Earth continues to reveal fundamental shortcomings in our ability to handle the ever increasing problem size numerically. Two causes can be identified as the main culprits responsible for this barrier. First, there is the so-called {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}curse of dimensionality{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} exemplified by Nyquist{\textquoteright}s sampling criterion, which puts disproportionate strain on current acquisition and processing systems as the size and desired resolution of our survey areas continues to increase. Secondly, there is the recent {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}departure from Moore{\textquoteright}s law{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} that forces us to lower our expectations to compute ourselves out of this. In this paper, we address this situation by randomized dimensionality reduction, which we adapt from the field of compressive sensing. In this approach, we combine deliberate randomized subsampling with structure-exploiting transform-domain sparsity promotion. Our approach is successful because it reduces the size of seismic data volumes without loss of information. With this reduction, we compute Newton-like updates at the cost of roughly one gradient update for the fully-sampled wavefield.},

	month = {06},
	abstract = {Estimation of Primaries by Sparse Inversion (EPSI) is a recent method for surface-related multiple removal using a direct estimation method closely related to Amundsen inversion, where under a sparsity assumption the primary impulse response is determined directly from a data-driven wavefield inversion process. One of the major difficulties in its practical adoption is that one must have precise knowledge of a time-window that contains multiple-free primaries during each update. Moreover, due to the nuances involved in regularizing the model impulse response in the inverse problem, the EPSI approach has an additional number of inversion parameters where it may be difficult to choose a reasonable value. We show that the specific sparsity constraint on the EPSI updates lead to an inherently intractable problem, and that the time-window and other inversion variables arise in the context of additional regularizations that attempts to drive towards a meaningful solution. We furthermore suggest a way to remove almost all of these parameters via convexification, which stabilizes the inversion while preserving the crucial sparsity assumption in the primary impulse response model.},
