| Abstract: | A time-domain hyperbolic Radon transform based method for separating multicomponent seismic data into P-P and P-SV wavefields is presented. This wavefield separation method isolates P-P and P-SV wavefields in the Radon panel due to their differences in slowness, and an inverse transform of only part of the data leads to separated wavefields. A problem of hyperbolic Radon transform is that it works in the time domain entailing the inversion of large operators which is prohibitively time-consuming. By applying the conjugate gradient algorithm during the inversion of hyperbolic Radon transform, the computational cost can be kept reasonably low for practical application. Synthetic data examples prove that P-P and P-SV wavefield separation by hyperbolic Radon transform produces more accurate separated wavefields compared with separation by high-resolution parabolic Radon transform, and the feasibility of the proposed separation scheme is also verified by a real field data example. |
