Abstract

In this paper, we recover the amplitude of a seismic image by approximating the normal operator and subsequently inverting it. Normal operator (migration followed by modeling) is an example of pseudo-differential. curvelets are proven to be invariant under the action of pseudo-differential operators under certain conditions. Subsequently, curvelets are forming as eigen-vectors for such an operator. We propose a seismic amplitude recovery method that employs an eigen-value decomposition for normal operator using curvelets as eigen-vectors and to be estimated eigenvalues. A post-stack reverse-time, wave-equation migration is used for evaluation of the proposed method.
