A method for reconstructing seismic data signals of poor quality to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the data for display and analysis in connection with the selection of drilling sites for recovery of hydrocarbons. The method includes providing a signal model by applying a Karhunen-Loeve transform to selected input seismic data collected for the target zone to form a co-, variance matrix from the dot products of all pairs of input data. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the matrix are computed and the most significant , eigenvectors are inversely transformed to provide a coherent estimate of the signal. The input data is combined with the model data based on the determination …
