Abstract

A technique includes receiving seismic data acquired in a seismic survey in the vicinity of a reflecting interface. The survey has an associated undersampled direction. The technique includes providing second data indicative of discrete samples of incident and reflected components of a continuous seismic wavefield along the undersampled direction and relating the discrete samples to a linear combination of the continuous incident and reflected seismic wavefields using at least one linear filter. Based on the relationship, an unaliased representation of the linear combination of the continuous incident and reflected seismic wavefields is constructed.
