Abstract

In seismic exploration, aliasing caused by coarse sampling along a line of exploration is corrected by trace interpolation. The interpolated traces are obtained by inserting zero amplitude traces between seismic traces. Transformation into the f-k domain and filtering of the aliased regions in the f-k domain produces properly interpolated traces when transformed to the x-t domain.
