Abstract
A technique includes receiving data, which are indicative of measurements acquired by seismic sensors of a seismic wavefield. The seismic wavefield is formed from a combination of an upgoing wavefield and a downgoing wavefield. The technique includes providing a statistical estimator, which relates the upgoing wavefield to a linear combination of the measurements and a reconstruction error. The technique includes determining the upgoing wavefield based on the statistical estimator. The determination includes substantially minimizing a variance of the reconstruction error.
