IRREGULAR SPATIAL SAMPLING

Most of the solutions for handling irregularly-sampled data address the issue of missing data traces, and irregular spatial distribution within bins. Variable fold in the form of trace redundancy has received much less attention and is more often treated as harmless to the processing operation. We first explain the problem as we discuss it in the scope of processing wide-azimuth surveys, then we present our new development to account for the fold variations in the implementation of the algorithms, finally, we demonstrate our improved results on a synthetic reflectivity model.
