Education

  • Master`s project: Analysis of the Curvelet transform in post-stack seismic data denoising focusing on conditioning for acoustic inversion. Three methodologies were compared, the simpler one involving magnitude-wise truncation (hard thresholding) of coefficients in the Curvelet domain, while the other two considered the spatial context of neighbor coefficients, by computing their joint probability distribution, in a Bayesian rule for thresholding. Moreover, the last two assigned a Laplacian prior to the coefficients in each Curvelet sub-band of seismic data. Besides empirically proving the validity of the prior to seismic data, one of the methodologies is a novelty and showed good performance for both white and bandlimited (correlated) noise.

  • Bachelor`s final project: A study of three algorithms of seismic acoustic inversion (seismic trace inversion) and consequently seismic deconvolution and their sensibilities to wavelets estimated using a couple of seismic wavelet estimation methods. The study involved implementing algorithms of seismic inversion, deconvolution and seismic wavelet estimation and then, to analyze the behavior of the first in relation to the wavelets estimated. Supervisor: Marco Antonio Cetale Santos
