Abstract

Seismic data may undergo many types of distortions. However, the effect of distortion on raw data may not be apparent until the end of the standard processing of seismic reflection data. This paper presents a semi-blind metric for seismic data quality assessment, namely weighted normalized mean squared error (wNMSE). A weighting scheme is utilized on the data to shift more emphasis on the samples that are received later. Compared with conventional metrics, the proposed metric exhibits a higher correlation to the signal quality after standard processing steps for all tested noise types. This high correlation indicates that our proposed metric is suitable to quantify stacked seismic trace distortion level.
