  • Attenuation of guided waves using polarization filtering
    Patent number: 11686872
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for attenuating guided waves in seismic data using polarization filtering are provided. A raw hydrophone component and raw geophone component of multicomponent seismic data may be scaled using a constant scalar to enhance the ellipticity ratio of guided waves. Polarization filtering based on the ellipticity ratio may be applied within a velocity constraint to the scaled hydrophone and vertical geophone components to attenuate the guided waves. Additionally or alternatively, polarization filtering based on the tilt angle may be applied within a velocity constraint to the raw hydrophone and vertical geophone components to attenuate the guided waves. Polarization filtering may be applied to a raw hydrophone component and raw vertical geophone component of seismic data to attenuate Scholte waves before attenuation of the guided waves.
