    • Interferometric imaging of multiples in an RTM approach 

      Malcolm, Alison E.; de Hoop, Maarten V. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
      It is well known that reverse-time migration is capable of correctly imaging multiply scattered energy. To do this, one of the interfaces from which the waves scatter must be included in the background velocity model. ...

    • One-Way Wave Propagators For Velocity Analysis On Curvilinear Coordinates 

      Budkick, Scott; van der Hilst, Robert D.; de Hoop, Maarten V. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008)
      Due to present computational limitations, migration by the one-way wave equation remains an integral tool in seismic exploration. For the realistic interpretation of common image point gathers, it is necessary that migration ...

    • Recursive Imaging with Multiply-Scattered Waves Using Partial Image Regularization: A North Sea Case Study 

      Malcolm, Alison E.; de Hoop, Maarten V.; Ursin, Bjorn (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
      As more resources are directed toward reverse-time migration an accurate velocity model, including strong reflectors, is necessary to form a clear image of the subsurface. This is of particular importance in the vicinity ...

    • Seismic Imaging and Illumination with Internal Multiples 

      Malcolm, Alison E.; Ursin, Bjørn; de Hoop, Maarten V. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008)
      If singly scattered seismic waves illuminate the entirety of a subsurface structure of interest, standard methods can be applied to image it. It is generally the case, however, that with a combination of restricted ...

    • Wave-Equation Reflection Tomography: Annihilators and Sensitivity Kernals 

      van der Hilst, Robert D.; de Hoop, Maarten V.; Shen, Peng (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      In seismic tomography, the finite frequency content of broad-band data leads to interference effects in the process of medium reconstruction, which are ignored in traditional ray theoretical implementations. Various ways ...
