Abstract

With the advent of robust computing power, any sophisticated algorithm for data compression is becoming a trivial task. With more than petabytes of seismic data produced every day and the trend toward 4D survey, it is becoming essential to develop robust algorithms for the seismic data compression. This led to significant research efforts in data compression for field implementation, as shown by the research trends. The study of seismic data compression techniques is the main focus of this paper. In particular, we provide a short survey of different seismic data compression methods. This survey covers several categories of compression techniques, namely transformation, prediction, quantization, run length, and sampling. This paper can be deemed an initial attempt to provide an up-to-date overview of the research work carried in this all-important field of seismic data processing.
