“…This link is only made possible by using the scattering form of source-receiver interferometry that we derive here. This may also allow new approaches for scattered ground-roll removal to be developed ͑e.g., see Halliday et al, 2010͒. The link between seismic interferometry and imaging has previously been discussed by Wapenaar ͑2007͒, Thorbecke and Wapenaar ͑2007͒, and Vasconcelos ͑2008͒. In Thorbecke and Wapenaar ͑2007͒, the connection between the work of Oristaglio and seismic interferometry is discussed, but the link could not be made explicit.…”

It is known that there is a link between the theory of seismic interferometry and theories of seismic imaging and inversion. However, although this has been discussed in several studies, there are few where any explicit links have been derived. We use reciprocity theorems for scattering media to derive a new form of seismic interferometry that describes the scattered wavefield between a source and a receiver in an acoustic medium, using both sources and receivers on two enclosing boundaries. This form of seismic interferometry is equivalent to a generalized imaging condition ͑IC͒ that combines the full wavefield inside any finite-sized subregion of the medium of interest. By using the Born ͑single-scattering͒ approximation, this generalized IC reduces to the method of imaging by double-focusing originally derived by Michael Oristaglio in 1989. Thus an explicit link is made between seismic interferometry, new generalized full-wavefield ICs, and existing single-scattering imaging methods.

“…Crosscorrelation of refracted waves gives virtual refractions that can be used for improved estimation of the subsurface parameters ͑Dong et al , 2006b;Mikesell et al, 2009͒. Surface waves can be predicted by interferometry and subsequently subtracted from exploration seismic data ͑Curtis et Dong et al, 2006a;Halliday et al, 2007Halliday et al, , 2010Xue et al, 2009͒. In his recent book, Schuster ͑2009͒ systematically discusses all possible interferometric transformations between surface data, VSP data, single-well profiles, and crosswell data.…”

Seismic interferometry involves the crosscorrelation of responses at different receivers to obtain the Green's function between these receivers. For the simple situation of an impulsive plane wave propagating along the x-axis, the crosscorrelation of the responses at two receivers along the x-axis gives the Green's function of the direct wave between these receivers. When the source function of the plane wave is a transient ͑as in exploration seismology͒ or a noise signal ͑as in passive seismology͒, then the crosscorrelation gives the Green's function, convolved with the autocorrelation of the source function. Direct-wave interferometry also holds for 2D and 3D situations, assuming the receivers are surrounded by a uniform distribution of sources. In this case, the main contributions to the retrieved direct wave between the receivers come from sources in Fresnel zones around stationary points. The main application of direct-wave interferometry is the retrieval of seismic surface-wave responses from ambient noise and the subsequent tomographic determination of the surfacewave velocity distribution of the subsurface. Seismic interferometry is not restricted to retrieving direct waves between receivers. In a classic paper, Claerbout shows that the autocorrelation of the transmission response of a layered medium gives the plane-wave reflection response of that medium. This is essentially 1D reflected-wave interferometry. Similarly, the crosscorrelation of the transmission responses, observed at two receivers, of an arbitrary inhomogeneous medium gives the 3D reflection response of that medium. One of the main applications of reflected-wave interferometry is retrieving the seismic reflection response from ambient noise and imaging of the reflectors in the subsurface. A common aspect of direct-and reflected-wave interferometry is that virtual sources are created at positions where there are only receivers without requiring knowledge of the subsurface medium parameters or of the positions of the actual sources.
