A brief history of seismic migration

Abstract: In this article, I attempt to focus on the chronology of seismic imaging. I start in the mid-1920s, progress through the human "computer"-based methods of the 1940s and 1950s, discuss the emergence of digital wave-equation technology in the 1960s and early 1970s, and finally end with a review of the present. I include a bit of speculation about the future of seismic imaging, but the meat of the article is on seismic-imaging history. Based on the timing of their publications, I claim there are three key contrib… Show more

“…Computing systems based on FPGAs have both on-board memory 5 as on-chip memory 6 , these two types of memory are faster than the external memories. Some research has made implementations in order to reduce the delays caused in the reading and writing operations [22], in their researches, have been designing special memory architectures that allow to optimize the use of different types of memory with FPGAs.…”

“…[6] and, in 1970 and 1971, Jon Claerbout published two papers focused on the use of second order, hyperbolic, partial-differential equations to perform the imaging. Largely, the Claerbout work was centered in the use of finite differences taking advantage of the numeric analysis created during the World War II.…”

“…Computerbased processing of seismic data started in the 1970s [1], and the initial methods were limited to time-space domain processing. In 1978, Stolt [2] introduced what is now called the frequency-wavenumber, or ω −k, algorithm, performing all processing in the temporal and spatial frequency domain.…”
