ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for processing a record of seismic traces. The method includes receiving the record of seismic traces in a time-offset domain, transforming the record of seismic traces to a tau-p domain, applying a zero offset inverse Q algorithm to the record of seismic traces in the tau-p domain, and transforming the record of seismic traces back to the time-offset domain.
