Anisotropy is a common phenomenon in subsurface strata and should be considered in
seismic imaging and inversion. Seismic imaging in a vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) …

Seismic anisotropy of the earth medium is primarily manifested as velocity anisotropy, which
certainly affects the kinematic properties of seismic waves propagating inside the earth. The …

The anisotropic characteristics of underground media play a crucial role in seismic wave
propagation and should be accounted for during seismic imaging. The least-squares …

Tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media are typical earth anisotropy media from practical
observational studies. Accurate anisotropic imaging is recognized as a breakthrough in …

In the implementation of TTI RTM, we meet stability problems and demands for speedup.
Staggered Fourier first derivative and linear interpolation improves stability and accuracy …

Anisotropic and attenuating properties of subsurface media cause amplitude loss and
waveform distortion in seismic wave propagation, resulting in negative influence on seismic …

Conventional modeling and migration for tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media may suffer
from numerical instabilities and shear wave artifacts due to the coupling of the P-wave and …

Reverse time migration (RTM) exhibits great advantages over other imaging methods
because it is based on computing numerical solutions to a two-way wave equation. It does …

When a pseudo-acoustic TTI (tilted transversely isotropic) coupled wave equation is used to
implement reverse-time migration (RTM), shear wave energy is significantly included in the …

Most traditional least-squares migration (LSM) methods are based on the assumption of
isotropic media, which is not consistent with the actual underground situation. The media's …
