Claim One:
1. A method for regularizing seismic data acquired over a subsurface, said method comprising: receiving the seismic data, wherein the seismic data includes pressure and particle motion measurements; selecting Fresnel zones at various depths in the subsurface; regularizing and frequency optimizing the seismic data to desired positions based on the selected Fresnel zones to obtain a regularized seismic dataset that includes new seismic traces; and generating an image of the subsurface based on the regularized seismic dataset, wherein the step of regularizing and frequency optimizing includes generating at least one new seismic trace within a first Fresnel zone of the selected Fresnel zones, based on acquired traces that fall into the first Fresnel zone, and iterating the step of generating at least one new seismic trace for each of the selected Fresnel zones at the various depths, and wherein the at least one new seismic trace is located at one of the desired positions and extends through the selected Fresnel zones.
