ALFT, or, Antileakage Fourier Transform based data regularization uses inversion technique where plane waves are modeled one at a time from the strongest to the weakest. These modeled plane waves are then subtracted from input trace location (irregular) and added to a regular output trace location until the residual is very small. The regularization is multidimensional. ALFT offers highly efficient 3D (cdpx, cdpy, time), 4D (cdpx, cdpy, time, offsetradial), and 5D (cdpx, cdpy, time, offsetx, offsety or cdpx, cdpy, time, azimuth, offsetradial) data regularization algorithms.

The image examples are courtesy TGS’s East Flemish Pass 3D survey in offshore Canada. The before regularization images show the usual lack of full coverage in near offsets due to cable spread. The images after regularization show that the 4D ALFT regularization is able to fill in those missing data with very good fidelity.
