Lines of existing data are extrapolated to provide additional lines of seismic data by using small inline gates of existing cables. At each frequency slice of a space gate on the existing cables, a 2-D prediction error filter that can predict the data in forward and backward directions is designed. A prediction filter is obtained from the prediction error filter and applied to a cable at an edge of the space gate to predict a first missing cable. By repeating this process using overlapping inline gates, overlapping inline gates of the extrapolated cables may be obtained. By suitable weighting of the inline gates of the extrapolated cables, a complete cable length is extrapolated. The process may be repeated using the first extrapolated cable in the derivation to give additional extrapolated cables. The invention may be used for interpolating cables of dealiased cables between existing cables using a masking and filtering operation in the frequency-wavenumber domain. In an alternate embodiment, existing lines of seismic data are sorted to give a crossline sort. The crossline sorted data are interpolated in the frequency-wavenumber domain to provide interpolated data between the lines of existing swaths of 3-D seismic data.
