“…Sparse transform‐based methods can identify signal and noise in sparse transform domain where the signal is sparse but the noise is not. Therefore, it is only necessary to set a soft threshold operator for the coefficients in the transformed sparse domain, and finally transform the sparse coefficients back into the real domain to reconstruct the clear signal, for example, Fourier transform (Naghizadeh, 2012), Radon transform (Durrani and Bisset, 1984; Trad et al ., 2003), wavelet transform (Beenamol et al ., 2012; Mousavi et al ., 2016; Mousavi and Langston, 2016), seislet transform (Fomel and Liu, 2010; Chen and Fomel, 2017), dreamlet transform (Wu et al ., 2013), curvelet transform (Candes et al ., 2006; Herrmann and Hennenfent, 2008; Neelamani et al ., 2008) and contourlets transform (Zhao et al ., 2016). These sparse transforms have the characteristics of close framework and fast numerical implementation, but they lack adaptability to capture the various sparse structures existing in seismic data.…”
