Kirchhoff imaging beyond aliasing
نویسنده
چکیده
I present a method for anti-aliasing Kirchhoff imaging operators that improves the resolution of the image by properly imaging aliased components of the recorded data that would be suppressed by standard anti-aliasing methods for Kirchhoff operators. The proposed method succeeds in imaging “beyond aliasing” without generating aliasing noise because it exploits a priori knowledge on the dipspectrum of the data. Therefore, the proposed method is not of general applicability but it successfully improves the image resolution when a priori assumptions on the dip-spectrum of the data are realistic. The imaging of a salt-dome flanks in the Gulf of Mexico has been enhanced by the application of the proposed method.

Antialiasing of Kirchhoff operators by reciprocal parameterization
I propose a method for antialiasing Kirchhoff operators, which switches between interpolation in time and interpolation in space depending on the operator dips. The method is a generalization of Hale’s technique for dip moveout antialiasing. It is applicable to a wide variety of integral operators and compares favorably with the popular temporal filtering technique. Simple synthetic examples de...
متن کاملAttenuation of spatial aliasing in CMP domain by non-linear interpolation of seismic data along local slopes
Spatial aliasing is an unwanted side effect that produces artifacts during seismic data processing, imaging and interpolation. It is often caused by insufficient spatial sampling of seismic data and often happens in CMP (Common Mid-Point) gather. To tackle this artifact, several techniques have been developed in time-space domain as well as frequency domain such as frequency-wavenumber, frequen...
متن کاملScale Factor Point Spread Function Matching: Beyond Aliasing in Image Resampling
Imaging devices exploit the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to avoid both aliasing and redundant oversampling by design. Conversely, in medical image resampling, images are considered as continuous functions, are warped by a spatial transformation, and are then sampled on a regular grid. In most cases, the spatial warping changes the frequency characteristics of the continuous function and no ...
متن کاملReverse Time Migration = Generalized Diffraction Stack Migration
The standard reverse-time migration (RTM) algorithm is usually described as zero-lag correlation of the backprojected data with the source wavefield. The data are back-projected by a finite-difference algorithm, where each trace acts as a source-time history of a point source at the geophone location. This is a simple and easily understood migration method, but appears inflexible to improvement...
متن کاملControlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging
Recently a new parallel imaging strategy, Controlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging Results IN Higher Acceleration (CAIPIRINHA), was introduced, which modifies the appearance of the aliasing artifacts during the acquisition in order to improve the following parallel imaging reconstruction procedure. This concept was successfully applied to simultaneous multi-slice imaging (MS-CAIPIRINHA) [1] and ...
