Born-compliant image perturbation for wave-equation migration velocity analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis produces wrong results if it starts from an image perturbation which is not compliant with the assumed Born approximation. Earlier attempts to correct this problem lead to either unreliable or hard to implement solutions. In this paper, we present a new method designed to construct image perturbations that are always compliant with the Born approximation. This new method is robust, easy to implement, and produces results that are consistent with those obtained using the ideal operators.

Wave-equation migration velocity analysis by inversion of differential image perturbations
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis is based on the linear relation that can be established between a perturbation in the migrated image and the corresponding perturbation in the slowness function. Our method formulates an objective function in the image space, in contrast with other wave-equation tomography techniques which formulate objective functions in the data space. We iteratively ...
متن کاملWave-equation migration velocity analysis: Episode II
We elaborate the main points of the wave-equation migration velocity analysis method introduced in a previous report. We analyze its strengths and limitations, and illustrate them using a synthetic example. The inversion results confirm our original expectations, especially with regard to stability and robustness. The main difficulty in recovering a complete velocity perturbation is related to ...
متن کاملWave-equation Migration Velocity Analysis
In this report, we introduce a new wave-equation method of migration velocity analysis (MVA). The method is based on the linear relation that can be established between a perturbation in the migrated image and the generating perturbation in the slowness function. Our method consists of two steps: we first improve the focusing of the migrated image and then iteratively update the velocity model ...
متن کاملWave-equation migration velocity analysis beyond the Born approximation
The Born approximation is based on the assumption of small slowness perturbation. We investigate the limits of the Born approximation when applied to wave-equation migration velocity analysis and propose two new schemes which allow for larger slowness anomalies, while improving accuracy and increasing stability. The new schemes are based on linearizations of exponential functions using bilinear...
متن کاملWave-equation migration velocity analysis using extended images
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis (WEMVA) is a velocity estimation technique designed to invert for velocity information using migrated images. Its capacity for handling multi-pathing makes it appropriate in complex subsurface regions characterized by strong velocity variation. WEMVA operates by establishing a linear relation between a velocity model perturbation and a corresponding mig...
