Paper:	Adaptive multiple subtraction with wavelet-based complex unary Wiener filters, Sergi Ventosa, Sylvain Le Roy, Irene Huard, Antonio Pica, Hérald Rabeson, Patrice Ricarte, Laurent Duval, Geophysics, volume 77, number 6 (more information) Adaptive subtraction is a key element in predictive multiple-suppression methods. It minimizes misalignments and amplitude differences between modeled and actual multiples, and thus reduces multiple contamination in the dataset after subtraction. Due to the high cross-correlation between their waveform, the main challenge resides in attenuating multiples without distorting primaries. As they overlap on a wide frequency range, we split this wide-band problem into a set of more tractable narrow-band filter designs, using a 1D complex wavelet frame. This decomposition enables a single-pass adaptive subtraction via complex, single-sample (unary) Wiener filters, consistently estimated on overlapping windows in a complex wavelet transformed domain. Each unary filter compensates amplitude differences within its frequency support, and can correct small and large misalignment errors through phase and integer delay corrections. This approach greatly simplifies the matching filter estimation and, despite its simplicity, narrows the gap between 1D and standard adaptive 2D methods on field data.	Jun. 2012

Paper:	Unary adaptive subtraction of joint multiple models with complex wavelet frames, Sergi Ventosa, Sylvain Le Roy, Irene Huard, Antonio Pica, Hérald Rabeson, Laurent Duval, submitted to SEG Annual Meeting Multiple attenuation is one of the greatest challenges in seismic processing. Due to the high cross-correlation between primaries and multiples, attenuating the latter without distorting the former is a complicated problem. We propose here a joint multiple model-based adaptive subtraction, using single-sample unary filters’ estimation in a complex wavelet transformed domain. The method offers more robustness to incoherent noise through redundant decomposition. It is first tested on synthetic data, then applied on real-field data, with a single-model adaptation and a combination of several multiple models.	Apr. 2012

All of the above is related to my present employer (IFP New Energy). Parts of my other life-time activities are more akin to its homonym IFP.org (Independent Feature Project). Isn't it funny? And now for something completely different: a section on short films information (in french). Collaborative outcomes with Oslo Films (script writing).

And now for something completely different: La vertu d'un la, light blog about numbers and letters

Ce qui précède a trait à mon employeur actuel (IFP Energies nouvelles). Une autre part de mes activités a plus à voir avec l'organisme homonyme appelé IFP.org (Independent Feature Project). Étonnant, non ? Une première bribe : une section portant sur l'actualité du court-métrage. Collabore à Oslo Films (écriture de scénarios).
