Efficient seismic compression using the lifting scheme

A comparative study of the integer wavelet transform applied to seismic data lossless compression

“…Wavelet transforms are commonly used at the decorrelation stage of compression schemes, as presented in Stigant et al (1995) and Khkne et al (2000). For lossless compression of integer samples, the integer wavelet transform (IWT) is a suitable approach as described in Giurcaneanu et al (1999) and Wang et al (2004).…”

Compression of Segmented 3d Seismic Data

“…Wavelet transforms were very successful with compression of still images. Therefore the efforts to use these techniques for seismic compression were quite natural [3,6,10]. However, results turned out much less impressive than in image compression because of the great variability of seismic data and the noisy background inherent in it even within the same volume.…”
