Abstract: We introduce figure repair technology based on partial differential equation into seismic data digital processing, and put forward seismic data repair technology based on diffusion filtering method. The technology diffuses undamaged area's data to data to be repaired using diffusion filtering method with a certain diffusion function. In each iteration, only the data to be repaired is updated, and undamaged area' s data is remained unchanged. Final iteration termination condition can be ensured by comparing difference with threshold before and after iterations. Two application examples of seismic data interpolation processing and seismic data local repair processing show that the technology can achieve the purpose of repairing seismic data. It recovers effectively lost seismic wave field information. Therefore, it can be used in practical seismic data digital processing.

Key words: diffusion filter, data repair, seismic interpolation, seismic processing, figure repair
