System and method for enhancing seismic data resolution by transforming low-frequency seismic data to high-frequency seismic data

A system and method for generating synthetic high-frequency seismic data for subsurface imaging comprises injecting a first seismic shot having a low frequency into a surface region and receiving reflected waves at a plurality of seismic receivers. Seismic traces are recorded and processed to generate a low-frequency seismic shot gather. A second seismic shot having a high frequency is injected, and a sparse number of high-frequency traces are recorded. A computing device resamples the low-frequency traces to match the sparse high-frequency dataset and applies a one-dimensional (1D) local matching filter to transform the low-frequency traces into simulated high-frequency traces. The transformed dataset is used to generate a high-resolution subsurface image of geological interfaces. The system enables computationally efficient high-frequency seismic data synthesis, optimizing seismic inversion accuracy while reducing acquisition costs and computational overhead.
