Irregularity and coarse spatial sampling of seismic data strongly affect the performances of processing and imaging algorithms. Therefore, interpolation is a usual preprocessing step in most of the processing workflows. In this work, we propose a seismic data interpolation method based on the deep prior paradigm: an ad hoc convolutional neural network is used as a prior to solve the interpolation inverse problem, avoiding any costly and prone-to-overfitting training stage. In particular, the proposed method leverages a multiresolution U-Net with 3-D convolution kernels exploiting correlations in cubes of seismic data, at different scales in all directions. Numerical examples on different corrupted synthetic and field data sets show the effectiveness and promising features of the proposed approach.
