The curvelet transform can represent anisotropy of curved singular function better than wavelet transform.
According to the optimal approximation property of the curvelet transform for smoothing and second-order
continuous differentiable singular functions, an adaptive thresholding denoising method for combining the
improved curvelet transform with Bayesian theory is proposed. The processing results of seismogram and real
seismic data verify that curvelet transform for self-adaptive random noise attenuation based on Bayes estimation
can not only attenuate random noise and effectively improve S/N in seismic data but also well preserve effective
signal compared with conventional wavelet transform threshold method.
