In marine seismic acquisition, seismic interference (SI) remains a considerable problem when marine seismic data sets are acquired in close vicinity to each other. We present a method for attenuating SI noise using a sparse Tau-P transform. Using a synthetic example, we demonstrate that this method effectively attenuates SI noise while preserving the seismic signals. Further tests on field data confirm the robustness of the method. Compared to the conventional Tau-P based method, our approach leaves less residual noise while still preserving the integrity of the primary signals.
