Abstract
A method for spectral analysis of seismic data obtains imaged seismic data and generates orthogonally shifted imaged seismic data gathers. The orthogonally shifted imaged seismic data gathers are processed to generate a spectrally processed imaged seismic data. Alternatively, the imaged seismic data are obtained using a spectral processing filter that is a function of a magnitude of a total wavenumber of the imaged seismic data in three dimensions and a spatially variable velocity function.
