Seismic image regularization in the reflection angle domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the use of preconditioned inversion in the reflection angle domain rather than migration to improve imaging in complex media. We use a wave-equation method to create reflection angle domain common image gathers and we apply steering filter preconditioning to smooth along the reflection angles. This improves the common image gathers. The improved common image gathers are more continuous than common image gathers obtained by migration alone. Additionally, some multiple energy is attenuated.

Angle-domain common-image gathers by wavefield continuation methods
Migration in the angle domain creates seismic images for different reflection angles. We present a method for computing angle-domain common-image gathers from seismic images obtained by depth migration using wavefield continuation. Our method operates on prestack migrated images and produces the output as a function of the reflection angle, not as a function of offset ray parameter as in other ...
متن کاملScattering and dip angle decomposition in relation with subsurface offset extended wave-equation migration
An angle-dependent reflection coefficient is recovered by seismic migration in the angle-domain. We propose a post-migration technique for computing scattering and dip angle common-image gathers (CIGs) from seismic images, extended by the subsurface offset, in relation with wave-equation migration methods. Our methodology suggests a system of Radon transform operators by introducing local trans...

متن کاملWavefield tomography using image - warping
The main objective of this thesis is to study new methods for estimating the macro velocity model, which controls the wave kinematics, in the context of reflection seismology. Migration velocity analysis evaluates the quality of the velocity model used for imaging seismic data by comparing images of the subsurface structures as a function of extension parameters, such as offset, reflection angl...
متن کاملAngle-gathers by Fourier Transform
In this paper, we present a method for computing angle-domain common-image gathers from wave-equation depth-migrated seismic images. We show that the method amounts to a radial-trace transform in the Fourier domain and that it is equivalent to a slant stack in the space domain. We obtain the angle-gathers using a stretch technique that enables us to impose smoothness through regularization. Sev...
