Abstract:SUMMARYIt 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. In a one-way framework this requirement is avoided by iteratively forming images of higher-order scattered waves. These techniques use an image made with singly scattered waves to estimate the locations of some of the reflection points in a multiply-scattered wave, from which the location … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
