A principal limitation on seismic resolution is the earth attenuation, or Q-effect, including the
energy dissipation of high-frequency wave components and the velocity dispersion that …

Seismic inversion aims to reconstruct a quantitative model of the Earth subsurface, by
solving an inverse problem based on seismic measurements. There are at least three …

Conventional reflectivity inversion methods are based on a stationary convolution model
and theoretically require stationary seismic traces as input (ie, those free of attenuation and …

Frequency-dependent amplitude absorption and phase velocity dispersion are typically
linked by the causality-imposed Kramers–Kronig relations, which inevitably degrade the …

The generalized seismic wavelets (GSWs) are defined by fractional derivatives of the
Gaussian function, whose asymmetry allows them to represent seismic signals more …

An inverse-Q filtered migration algorithm performs seismic migration and inverse-Q filtering
simultaneously, in which the latter compensates for the amplitudes and corrects the phase …

Attenuation is one factor that degrades the quality of reflection seismic subsurface imaging. It
causes a progressive decrease in the seismic pulse energy and is also responsible for …

The Ricker wavelet has been widely used in the analysis of seismic data, as its asymmetrical
amplitude spectrum can represent the attenuation feature of seismic wave propagation …

We have developed a novel method for Q estimation. As a seismic wave propagates through
subsurface viscoelastic media, seismic attenuation decreases the amplitude and reduces …

ABSTRACT A system of aligned vertical fractures produces azimuthal variations in stacking
velocity and amplitude variation with offset, characteristics often reported in seismic …
