The present invention incorporates the use of model-driven and data-driven
methodologies to attenuate multiples in seismic data utilizing a
prediction model which includes multiply-reflected, surface-related
seismic waves. The present invention includes beam techniques and
convolving a predicted multiples beam with a segment of a modeled pegleg
beam to obtain a convolved multiples beam. The convolved multiples beam
can then he deconvolved to attenuate the multiples that are present in
the original input beam.
