In seismic exploration[edit]
Boosting signals in seismic data is especially crucial for seismic imaging,[2][3] inversion,[4][5] and interpretation,[6] thereby greatly improving the success rate in oil & gas exploration.[7][8][9][10] The useful signal that is smeared in the ambient random noise is often neglected and thus may cause fake discontinuity of seismic events and artifacts in the final migrated image. Enhancing the useful signal while preserving edge properties of the seismic profiles by attenuating random noise can help reduce interpretation difficulties and misleading risks for oil and gas detection.
