Coherent and random noise attenuation using the curvelet transform

Abstract

This paper discusses an effective approach to attenuate random and coherent linear noise in a 3D data set from a carbonate environment. Figure 1 illustrates a seismic inline section from a noisy 3D seismic cube. Clearly, the section in Figure 1 is corrupted by undesirable random noise and coherent noise that are linear and vertically dipping in nature
