Inverse multiple scattering in the downward-continuation approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internal multiples have long been recognized as a problem in seismic imaging. Some theoretical developments have been made to attenuate them, but there is no 3D theory as yet that is valid for a wide range of velocity models. The goal of this paper is to present such a theory. Through the development of this theory we show that, unless certain simplifying assumptions are made about the velocity model, estimating multiples is velocity-model-dependent. We propose estimating and subtracting the multiples in the image domain rather than the data domain. In common-image gathers, the redundancy of well-corrected primaries can be exploited to improve adaptive subtraction techniques.

Enhancing magnetic signals in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection based on edge-preserved stable downward continuation method
This paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). The magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source UXO can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. To effectively the...
متن کاملInverse Scattering of Seismic Data in the Reverse Time Migration (rtm) Approach
Abstract. In this paper, we revisit the reverse-time imaging procedure. We discuss an inverse scattering transform derived from reverse-time migration (RTM), and establish its relation with generalized Radon transform inversion. In the process, the explicit evaluation of the so-called normal operator is avoided, at the cost of introducing other pseudodifferential operator factors. Using techniq...
متن کاملSeismic inverse scattering in the downward continuation approach q
Seismic data are commonly modeled by a linearization around a smooth background medium in combination with a high frequency approximation. The perturbation of the medium coefficient is assumed to contain the discontinuities. This leads to two inverse problems, first the linearized inverse problem for the perturbation, and second the estimation of the background, which is a priori unknown (veloc...

The methods applied to regularization of the ill-posed problems can be classified under “direct” and “indirect” methods. Practice has shown that the effects of different regularization techniques on an ill-posed problem are not the same, and as such each ill-posed problem requires its own investigation in order to identify its most suitable regularization method. In the geoid computations witho...
متن کاملVelocity Continuation in the Downward Continuation Approach to Seismic Imaging
One way of developing a wave-equation approach to seismic imaging is based on the concept of downward continuation of the surface reflection data. Seismic imaging is typically based on the single scattering approximation, and assumes the knowledge of a, smooth, background model in which the mentioned downward continuation is carried out. The downward continued data are subjected, at each depth,...
