A multi tone modeling for seismic data compression

This work develops a multi tone modeling for seismic data compression. First, seismic traces are described as multitone decaying sinusoidal waves superposition. Each sinusoidal wave is regarded as a model component and is represented by a set of distinct parameters. Secondly, a novel parameter estimation algorithm for this model is proposed accordingly. In this algorithm, the parameters are estimated for each component sequentially. A suitable number of model components is determined by the level of the residuals energy. The proposed model-based compression scheme outperforms the Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) both analytically and experimentally in terms of compression ratio, reconstruction quality and convergence rate.
