Abstract

ABSTRACT

The time‐invariant gain‐limit‐constrained inverse ‐filter can control the numerical instability of the inverse ‐filter, but it often suppresses the high frequencies at later times and reduces the seismic resolution. To improve the seismic resolution and obtain high‐quality seismic data, we propose a self‐adaptive approach to optimize the value for the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation. The optimized value is self‐adaptive to the cutoff frequency of the effective frequency band for the seismic data, the gain limit of the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation, the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation function, and the medium quality factor. In the processing of the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation, the optimized value, corresponding gain limit, and amplitude compensation function are used simultaneously; then, the energy in the effective frequency band for the seismic data can be recovered, and the seismic resolution can be enhanced at all times. Furthermore, the small gain limit or time‐variant bandpass filter after the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation is considered to control the signal‐to‐noise ratio, and the time‐variant bandpass filter is based on the cutoff frequency of the effective frequency band for the seismic data. Synthetic and real data examples demonstrate that the self‐adaptive approach for value optimization is efficient, and the inverse ‐filter amplitude compensation with the optimized value produces high‐resolution and low‐noise seismic data.
