Seismic interpolation is a common step in data processing, to infill missing traces, regularize acquisition grids, or in 4D seismic applications. In this study we use the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Pix2Pix together with an iterative workflow to carry out interpolation of seismic data using different domains to train and to do the prediction. Our iterative method trains and makes predictions using different gather domains, allowing to use all the survey to train and generate predictions without overfitting. We illustrate the workflow using synthetic data modeled after Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) surveys, which comprise densely populated receiver gathers and sparsely populated shot gathers. The workflow may be used to interpolate missing traces or even complete the geometry of a monitor acquisition to make it match the baseline. For larger infill gaps, the iterative GAN interpolation does not add artifacts like when using conventional methods.
