1. A method for de-blending seismic data associated with a subsurface of the earth, the method comprising: receiving blended seismic data, wherein the blended seismic data includes traces having energies from two or more different shots that partially overlap; applying an apex-shifted radon transform (ASRT) to the blended seismic data to transform it from a first domain to a second domain; applying a mute processing for removing all shots except a first shot in the second domain; applying a reverse ASRT to the given shot to obtain the first shot in the first domain; and generating an image of the subsurface based on the first shot in the first domain.
