Linear prediction filters in the [Formula: see text] domain are widely used to interpolate regularly sampled data. We study the problem of reconstructing irregularly missing data on a regular grid using linear prediction filters. We propose a two-stage algorithm. First, we reconstruct the unaliased part of the data spectrum using a Fourier method (minimum-weighted norm interpolation). Then, prediction filters for all the frequencies are extracted from the reconstructed low frequencies. The latter is implemented via a multistep autoregressive (MSAR) algorithm. Finally, these prediction filters are used to reconstruct the complete data in the [Formula: see text] domain. The applicability of the proposed method is examined using synthetic and field data examples.

To remove surface waves from seismic records while preserving other seismic events of interest, we introduced a transform and a filter based on recent developments in image processing. The transform can be seen as a weighted Radon transform, in particular along linear trajectories. The weights in the transform are data dependent and designed to introduce large amplitude differences between surface waves and other events such that surface waves could be separated by a simple amplitude threshold. This is a key property of the filter and distinguishes this approach from others, such as conventional ones that use information on moveout ranges to apply a mask in the transform domain. Initial experiments with synthetic records and field data have demonstrated that, with the appropriate parameters, the proposed trace transform filter performs better both in terms of surface wave attenuation and reflected signal preservation than the conventional methods. Further experiments on larger data sets are needed to fully assess the method.

For the purpose of preventing vibration-sensitive optical switches from malfunction caused by broadband vertical vibration, a novel two-stage vibration isolation platform is proposed. The primary stage is a bellows-type isolator of large stroke and low isolation frequency, and the secondary stage is a small-stroke hybrid isolator composed of bellows and voice-coil actuators. In the primary stage, two pre-compressed horizontal bellows and one vertical bellows are used to counter the weight of the switch and to reduce the total height of the isolator. The static properties of the primary stage are analyzed, and the vibration isolation of the platform is investigated. Numerical results indicate that the two-stage platform is effective in isolating vertical vibration. Experiments are also conducted to verify the performance of the platform. It is exhibited that the transmissibility is less than 0 dB over 2 Hz, and the attenuation rate reaches −35 dB/dec at high frequencies. The frequency range of test is 2–200 Hz, and the maximum displacement is 10 mm at 2 Hz. In the secondary stage, the actuators can substantially suppress the resonance peak, and promote isolation performance at low frequencies.

We have developed a ground-roll attenuation strategy for seismic records that adopts the curvelet transform. The curvelet transform decomposes the seismic events based on their dip and frequency content information. The curvelet panels that contain only either reflection or ground-roll energy can be used to alter the curvelet panels with mixed reflection and ground-roll energies. We build a curvelet-domain mask function from the ground-roll-free curvelet coefficients (high frequencies) and downscale it to the ground-roll-contaminated curvelet coefficients (low frequencies). The mask function is used inside a least-squares optimization scheme to preserve the seismic reflections and attenuate the ground roll. Synthetic and real seismic data examples show the application of the proposed ground-roll attenuation method.

We tested a strategy for beyond-alias interpolation of seismic data using Cadzow reconstruction. The strategy enables Cadzow reconstruction to be used for interpolation of regularly sampled seismic records. First, in the frequency-space ([Formula: see text]) domain, we generated a Hankel matrix from the spatial samples of the low frequencies. To perform interpolation at a given frequency, the spatial samples were interlaced with zero samples and another Hankel matrix was generated from the zero-interlaced data. Next, the rank-reduced eigen-decomposition of the Hankel matrix at low frequencies was used for beyond-alias preconditioning of the Hankel matrix at a given frequency. Finally, antidiagonal averaging of the conditioned Hankel matrix produced the final interpolated data. In addition, the multidimensional extension of the proposed algorithm was explained. The proposed method provides a unifying thread between reduced-rank Cadzow reconstruction and beyond alias [Formula: see text] prediction error interpolation. Synthetic and real data examples were provided to examine the performance of the proposed interpolation method.

Processing of potential field data is commonly done by spectral methods because of their low computational complexity. However, we have studied some geostatistical methods to process the potential field data, and we find the advantages of using these spatial methods. First, we investigate transformation of data by kriging using a gravimetric model of covariance, we compare this approach with the spectral method, and we find its advantage when the data were sparse and not on a regular grid using a synthetic example as well as a field data example. Then, we use factorial kriging for noise reduction and separation of the regional and residual components. This method does not have some of the practical limitations that the spectral-based methods encounter. Finally, we determine the flexibility of interpolation using nonstationary covariances.
