Yang, Y., Gao, J.H., Zhang, G.W. and Wang, Q., 2018. An efficient attenuation compensation method using the synchrosqueezing transform. Journal of Seismic Exploration, 27: 577-591. Attenuation of seismic waves, which decreases the amplitude and distorts the phase, also usually results in low resolution of seismic data. In this study, inverse Q filtering is introduced to compensate the attenuation of seismic waves using the synchrosqueezing transform (SST), which condenses the spectrum energy along the frequency axis and provides highly localized time-frequency representations. To perform a stable inverse Q filtering, a denoising filtering and reliable O values are needed. At first, a spare SST-domain filtering is utilized to remove the random noise based on a low-rank and spare decomposition-based method. Then, a reliable Q-factor estimation method using the peak frequency shift method in SST domain is applied in the implementation of inverse Q filtering scheme. At last, we reformulate amplitude correction as an inverse problem with a /;-norm regularization term in the SST domain to prevent the noise bursting because of the inherently unstable process of amplitude correction. Therefore, we propose a complete three-stage work flow to denoise, estimate Q factor and compensate attenuation using the SST. Tests with synthetic examples and real data demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of this proposed method.
