In marine seismic acquisitions, signal interference remains a major menace. In this paper, a denoising approach based on the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) combined with the Hausdorff distance (HD) and Wavelet transform (WT) is proposed. There has been substantial research in this field over the years. However, traditional denoising methods fall short of achieving satisfactory results in an extremely low signal to noise ratio (SNR) environment. The feasibility, and stability of the proposed method was validated by performing simulations in MATLAB on both a synthetic signal and a seismic signal generated using real dataset. It was found that the proposed method does well in preserving marine signals in low SNR environments, and has a superior output SNR.
