A fast and simple method of spectral enhancement

The ability to resolve seismic thin beds is a function of the bed thickness and the frequency content of the seismic data.To achieve high resolution, the seismic data must have broad frequency bandwidth. We developed an algorithm that improved the bandwidth of the seismic data without greatly boosti...
