Abstract

Systems and methods for generating seismic images of subterranean features including: receiving raw seismic data of a subterranean formation; selecting a portion of the raw seismic data; transforming the selected portion of the raw seismic data from a first domain to a second domain; generating soft constraint data corresponding to the selected portion of the raw seismic data; calculating at least one weight using the generated soft constraint data; generating a weighted transformed data set by applying at least one weight to the transformed selected portion of the raw seismic data; selecting at least one data point of the generated weighted transformed data set; and removing the selected at least one data point from the weighted transformed data set to generate revised seismic data.
