ABSTRACT:
A method for inverting a seismic signal, wherein an input seismic signal is represented as an input vector i(t) of length m+n-1, an output seismic signal is represented as an output vector o(t) of length m, and a finite impulse response filter is represented as a solution vector u(t) of length n, satisfying a convolutional equation i(t)Xu(t)=o(t). An m.times.n Toeplitz matrix T(t,.tau.) corresponding to i(t) is calculated, satisfying a matrix equation T(t,.tau.).multidot.u(t)=o(t). Both sides of the matrix equation are transformed to the frequency domain, to generate a transformed equation. Both sides of the transformed equation are spectrally pruned, to generate a pruned equation. The pruned equation is then solved.
